You are reading a scientific paper regarding the relationships of the anatomical and behavioral characteristics of chimpanzees and their implications for early hominid evolution. With the emphasis on anatomical and behavioral characteristics, this implies that the researchers are relying on A. Traditional classifications of chimpanzees and humans B. Nonevolutionary classifications of chimpanzees and humans C. An incorrect classification of human ancestors D. Cladistic classifications of chimpanzees and humans

This is a potential phylogenetic tree created by anthropologists at UC Berkeley.A-Ardipithecus ramidusB-Australopithecus anamensisC-Australopithecus afarensisD-Australopithecus africanusE-Paranthropus aethiopicusF-Paranthropus robustusG-Paranthropus boiseiH-Australopithecus garhiI-Homo rudolfensisJ-Homo habilusK-Homo ergasterL-Homo erectusM-Homo heidelbergensisN-Homo neanderthalensisO-Homo sapiens What kinds of evidence to you think anthropologists used to create this tree?
What can we say about Homo sapiens? Select one: O a. Originated in Africa, shared a common ancestor with Neanderthals, Denisovans, and most likely descendants from a group related to Homo heildenbergensis O b. Migrated out of Africa, most likely 2 million years ago, hybridized with Homo floresiensis and differentiated from other Homo as the sole species to evolved language. O c. Migrated from Ethiopia 200,000 years ago, hybridized with Denisovans and Neanderthals to later replace them O d. Is the result of hybridization between Neanderthals and Denisovans, only lineage to show bipedalism and posses the largest brain capacity of all Homo O e. A and C are correct
The cladistic classification of apes and humans A. Divides hominids into hylobatids, pongids, and hominids B. Includes tarsiers, lemurs, and lorises C. Uses the term hominid to describe only humans and their ancestors D. Includes three subfamilies within hominids: Ponginae, Gorillinae, and Hominiae
Select the taxon that MOST CLOSELY applies to each of the statements below regarding anthropoids. Each term may be used once or not at all. Hominin genus with small head and oval birth canal. a. Homo sapiens + Species with a brain mass approximately three times larger than that of b. Homo heidelbergensis other extant hominins. c. Homo floresiensis * Species that comparative genomics suggests hybridized with Homo sapiens. d. Gigantopithecus e. Aegyptopithecus + Small-statured species found in Indonesia up to about 50,000 years ago. f. Homo neanderthalensis + Genus conjectured by some to have been responsible for the Yeti myth in southeast Asia. g. Homo h. Homo erectus i. Ardipithecus ramidus j. Proconsul k. Homo habilis 1. Australopithecus m. Australopithecus afarensis
We have studied how the six major primate groups evolved, with the most recent group being the hominins.The hominins branched off from main ape group around 7 million years ago.According to our lessons explain your reasoning as to whether there is a missing link,or one single specimen that embodies both ape and hominin traits, that serves as a transition between what is clearly ape and what is clearly hominin?What have you found most interesting about the beginning of hominin evolution and why?
There is no concrete evidence of which early hominin was our direct ancestor, as fossils do not contain genetics. Overall, the Australopithecines are the "missing link" bridging our ape to human transition. Each species, and there are a few, includes a combination of traits considered more ape-like or more human-like. How does this affect society feelings/views/ideas about early human evolution and what the "missing link" should or should not be.
Match the feature or characteristic to the hominin group in which they are found. Not all answers will be used and some will be used twice. -Frequently has a bony chin on the lower jaw. -Thought to be the common ancestor to both Paranthropus and Homo A. The Neanderthals Has a very large nose and bun of bone at the back of the skull, B. Homo sapiens Has a small face tucked under a short, high braincase. C Paranthropus boisei Known from Europe, the Middle East and central Asia between 30,000 and 400,000 years ago, until it was replaced by H. sapiens. D. Gracile australopithecines -Known from approximately 2.5-4.2 million years ago in East Africa.
Charles Darwin and Jean Baptide de Lamarck have different ideas of explaining evolution. Describe how each of them explained the evolution of long necks of giraffes. Justify whose idea is more acceptable in science community.
All birds living today are descended from a group of dinosaurs called theropods. Theropods first appeared in the fossil record around 200 million years ago. However, fos- sils of taxa similar to modern birds can be found in the fossil record from around 66 million years ago. The table below provides information about certain traits in theropods and modern birds. An X indicates the presence of a trait. Theropods A Trait B с Bipedal D Hollow Bones Feathers Long Boney Tail Jaws with Sharp Teeth Fused Clavicle X Reversed First Toe A table that shows the comparison of traits in theropods and modern birds.
