Option 1

 * Microlith
 * Article Evaluation
 * - The article stays consistent with the topic, being microliths which are a tool made of stone which are relevant to Europe and Australia.
 * - This article does mention Australia, however this article shows that the stone is an Adelaide point and not a microlith specifically.
 * -It states that there is no gengrapic pattern in the shapes of these stones in Australia, but this is not true. "Grind stones" are special stones that are used to crush food on a grind block. Archeological sites have located these grinding stones and have been chemically analyzed using a pipette.

Option 2

 * Recent African origin of modern humans
 * Article Evaluation
 * - This article takes about the Toba eruption as an explanation for the dispersal and migration towards Africa, however this evidence can give more explanation into the dispersal patterns and how individuals moved to find Australia.
 * - The toba eruption created large vegetation change in modern indonesia which gives reason for them to migrate in the direction of Sunda and Wallacea.
