Dont USE AI. Please answer from your knowlage. Why do you think it was possible for several different hominin species to coexist at around 2.5 million years ago when we are the only living hominin species today? Do you think it is possible that one of the later robust Australopithecines could be the ancestor to our genus, Homo? Why or why not? 300 words
1. Which hominin existed for the longest time on earth? 2. Which hominins lived in the same area at the same time?
Nearly 4 million years ago, two or three hominins left their footprints across the savanna of modern day Tanzania, clear evidence that… Group of answer choices A-hominins were quadrupedal 4 million years ago, prior to the adaptation of walking on two feet B-the Hominins that left the footprint impressions habitually walked bipedally C-members of the evolutionary lineage that include our own species are capable of running at speeds of nearly 35 miles per hour D-Australopithecus afarensis males weighed between 150 – 190 pounds E-volcanic activity along the Kilombero fault line caused a mass extinction event around 4 million years ago
Discuss 4 anatomical changes that occurred in the bipedal hominin and how they reflect certain habitat adaptations, and then discuss the hypotheses that propose why the change occurred.
Write briefly about the "hobbit" species of hominin. What are the theories about its evolution? What was the species like? When and where did it exist? (Homo floresiensis)
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?
When and where did Homo sapiens originate? Evaluate which hypothesis better supports the current evidence: the multi regional hypothesis (Also called regional continuity model) or the out of Africa hypothesis. (also called the replacement model).Support your answer with a discussion of the behavioral, fossil and genetic lines of evidence for the evolution of modern humans.
What do the marks found on the Bodo cranium indicate? A. The removal of flesh from the skull by tool-using hominins, either as a ritual or as some form of cannibalism. B. The earliest example of carnivore tooth marks on a hominin fossil. C. A pathology associated with poor diet, which may have contributed to this individual’s death. D. The fabrication of the fossil as a hoax, demonstrating that science is ultimately self-correcting.
While listening to a hominin evolution podcast, the narrator mentions that the overall similarity of Homo erectus fossils from Africa, Asia, and Europe, and through time represents evolutionary statis. What evidence is there that this is not the case? A. The size of the teeth and jaws increased from earlier to later forms. B. There was an overall increase in cranial robusticity from earlier to later forms. C. The thickness of the cranial bone increased from earlier to later forms. D. Brain size increased by approximately 30% from earlier to later forms.
If you as a paleoanthropologist are plannin an excavation at a hominin site in East Africa which is dated to about 2 million years old, which fossil hominin species might you expect to find?
Which hominins might be ancestral to us choose one that you find especially interesting (except H. sapiens) and explain how it fits into the picture of the Hominin family?
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
