Question

________ method is used in paleontology and anthropology for determining the age of human fossil and manuscripts​

Answer 1

Answer:

carbon dating

Explanation:Carbon Dating is the method used to determine the age of human fossils and manuscripts

Answer 2

The Correct solution is Radiocarbon dating.

• Radiocarbon dating (also known as carbon dating or carbon-14 dating) is a method for establishing the age of an organic substance using the properties of radiocarbon, a radioactive carbon isotope.
• It is based on the fact that cosmic rays interact with atmospheric nitrogen to produce radiocarbon (14 C) in the Earth's atmosphere on a continuous basis. The 14 C that resulted reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere to generate radioactive carbon dioxide, which is absorbed by plants through photosynthesis; mammals then acquire 14 C by consuming the plants.
• When an animal or plant dies, it ceases exchanging carbon with its environment, and the amount of 14 carbon is released into the atmosphere.
• As the 14 C undergoes radioactive decay, the amount of 14 C it contains decreases.
• The amount of 14 C in a sample from a dead plant or animal, such as a piece of wood or a fragment of bone, can be used to determine when the animal or plant died.
• The less 14 C that can be discovered in a sample, the older it is.
