The ability to analyze genomes - sequences of DNA - has grown more and more sophisticated. Scientists are able to examine the biological past in finer detail and with greater accuracy. A new analysis of the genetic links between early humans and chimpanzees has led to a hypothesis that the two species diverged more recently than previous estimates indicated. This gives credence to a very startling new theory: the ancestors of humans and chimpanzees might have hybridized to produce the lineage from which modern humans eventually developed. What can be inferred from the statements above?
A: Political and religious pressures will affect the course of future research.
B: Hybridized species combine the best of both lineages.
C: Earlier genome analysis established genetic links between early humans and chimpanzees.
D: Human DNA is more complex than that of chimpanzees.
