A theory (like the theory of evolution) is a hypothesis that has been supported by mountains of evidence and is widely agreed upon among scientists of that field. In the sentences: "scientists continue to theorize why other hominid species didn’t survive" and "Scientists have several theories about why early hominids evolved", the word theorize/theories should be hypothesize/hypotheses.

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ The terms "theorize" and "theories" in the sentences "scientists continue to theorize why other hominid species didn’t survive" and "Scientists have several theories about why early hominids evolved" are used correctly. In scientific discourse, "theorize" means to form a theory or set of theories based on evidence and reasoning. While "hypothesize" and "hypotheses" refer to forming a hypothesis, which is a proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation. Theories are well-substantiated explanations, whereas hypotheses are initial, testable statements.∻ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹Theorize vs. Hypothesize⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹"Theorize" refers to forming theories based on substantial evidence and reasoning, while "hypothesize" refers to forming initial, testable statements based on limited evidence.⚹◊What role has the theory of evolution played in shaping our understanding of early hominid species in AP World History⍭ Generate me a similar question◊∻⚹
