Human Evolution

Human evolution is the process of evolution of humans from early man to anatomically modern humans. The process of evolution in humans leads to the gradual development of traits like bipedalism. Humans are the highly social animals that make them the most advanced animal on Earth. Human evolution is an outcome of interaction among the following processes:

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.
The Evolutionary History and Spread of Our Species (Homo sapiens) a. Briefly describe the two major theories discussed in this chapter about the origin of modern humans. b. Which of these two theories would predict a closer relationship for the various modern human populations? c. Which of the two theories is best supported by the genetic evidence?

Homo neanderthalensis, Australopithecus afarensis, Homo habilis, and Homo erectus. According to fossil records and discoveries, how do these human species vary?
Based on height calculations of Homo erectus fossils, biological anthropologists estimate that their average height was A. Similar to that of Australopithecines. B. Short, with most being approximately three feet. C. More than 70% taller than Homo habilis. D. Tall, within the range of modern humans.
How does the fact that all ethnic groups except Africans contain some Neanderthal DNA (1–4 percent of their DNA) support the out-of-Africa hypothesis for the origin of modern humans (Homo sapiens)?
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
Fossils of a dwarf species of human, Homo floresiensis, has been discovered on the Indonesian island of Flores. There has been debate as to who are the immediate ancestors. New fossils have just been discovered and dated at 700,000 years ago. This strongly suggests that their immediate ancestors are A. Homo habilis B. Homo neanderthalensis C. Ardipithecus D. Homo sapiens E. Homo erectus
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
Some genetic studies suggest that the most recent common ancestor of Homo sapiens that lived outside of Africa spread from Africa about 50,000 years ago. Compare this date to the dates of the fossil record. Can both the genetic results and the dates ascribed to the fossils be correct? Explain and Justify.
Paleoanthropologists generally agree that Homo erectus belongs in our genus and represents a significant shift towards adaptations important to our own species. However, there is much variation among specimens that are grouped into H. erectus. Your instructor will let you know which of these fossil representatives to use for the exercise today.Based on your measurements and comparisons in the table above, what are major differences among Au. africanus, H. habilis, and H. erectus? Do you think H. habilis is more like Australopithecus or Homo? How do these three species reflect the major environmental pressures of the time periods in which they lived, respectively? List three features that are changing in the genus Homo due to these selective pressures. List three features found in H. erectus that are derived, compared to Au. africanus.
