Archaeologists and Paleoanthropologists often look for evidence of early hominins by studying fossils. In order to look for those fossils which might tell us something about early human evolution they must find those fossils first. When looking for fossils they have to have a detailed knowledge of _or the different cultural and natural layers which may contain fossil remains. O taphonomy O stratigraphy O primatology cultural anthropology

In studying recent fossils of the genus Homo, such as Cro-Magnon,biologists have determined that modern humans have not undergonemuch biological evolution in the past 50,000 years. Rather, culturalanthropologists argue that cultural evolution has been far moreimportant than biological evolution in the recent history of modernhumans. What do they mean by this? Support your argument withsome examples.
Some genetic studies suggest that the most recent common ancestor of Homo sapiens that lived outside of Africa spread from Africa about 50,000years ago. Compare this date to the dates of the fossil record. Can both the genetic results and the dates ascribe to the fossils be correct? Justify. PLEASE INDICATE A REFERENCE
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.
Do you think that H. naledi and H. neanderthalensis were deliberately burying their dead? Why or why not? Be sure to discuss both Archaic Humans and to mention specific examples from the assigned reading and video. However, be sure to write in your own words – do not cite from the text/video. Be as specific as possible and defend your answer. Claims that Homo naledi buried their dead could alter our understanding of human evolution:https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/2023/june/claims-homo-naledi-buried-their-dead-alterour-understanding-human-evolution.html.

One benefit of the fossil record isa. that hard parts of bodies are more likely to fossilize.b. that fossils can be dated.c. its completeness.d. that fossils congregate in one place.e. All of these are correct.
This video refers to Denisovans as a “Ghost Lineage.” In fact, Denisovans don’t even have a formal scientific name. What is the physical evidence that anthropologists need to further define and understand the Denisovans? A. None of the above B. A Type Specimen (and more Denisovan fossils) C. Neanderthal DNA D. H. sapiens DNA
House sparrows (Maya) were introduced to North America in 1852. Since that time thesparrows have evolved different characteristics in different locations. Sparrow populations inthe north are larger-bodied than sparrow populations in the south. This divergence inpopulations is probably at least partly a result of natural selection: larger-bodied birds canoften survive lower temperatures than smaller-bodied birds can. Colder weather in the northmay select for larger-bodied birds. What type of evolution based on natural selectionaccounts for this observation? Explain your answer.
