The article I read was about the species “Australopithecus Afarensis” which most people can relate to because “Lucy’s species, the name Lucy was something I knew about already, however what type of Hominins was something I did not know. It was found in East Africa in a region of Ethiopia; it was discovered on November 24, 1974. It made news because it “ lived between 3.7 and three million years ago which means the species survived for at least 700,000 years more than twice as long as our own species, Homo sapiens ,has been around”. Also Lucy the Australopithecus was one of the first Hominin fossil to become famous because about 40% of her skeleton was complete when she was discovery in 1974 she was by far the most complete early Hominin know which help the scientist learn a lot just off the 40% percent of her skeleton remains that were found to study and learn more about the early Hominin. She is the second oldest Hominid skeleton discovered in the world. The first is the nickname…
The images below exhibit Y-5 molars. The left comes from a chimpanzee and the other is a zoomed-in image of Y-5 molars in a human. Why do these primates share the trait for Y-5 molars? Mark the best answer. Group of answer choices Unclear, cannot determine from the information given. Both inherited this trait from their common ancestor, which also had Y-5 molars. Convergent evolution, since both separately evolved Y-5 molars to adapt to dietary pressures. Random mutations, since having Y-5 molars is abnormal in these species of primate.
Many of the morphological differences (e.g. bigger brains, shorter limbs, greater robustness) observed in Neandertals compared with other hominin fossils have been explained as being a result of... Group of answer choices speciation lack of technological advances adaptations to high altitudes adaptations to cold environments island dwarfism
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.
After the extinction of the dinosaurs, the next major group of primates to arise Group of answer choices were the great apes are called anthropoids are called hominids
Tarsiers are one of the small species of primates generally found in tropical islands like Bohol, Philippines. Gibbons are small apes usually found in the forests of Southeast Asian regions. Chimpanzees are considered to be the highest form of "thinking organisms" on Earth. The theory of evolution asserts that these species evolved from a related ancestor. By observing the given figure. How will you support or reject the said claim?
Which of the following statements about hominins is FALSE? Each hominin species on Earth was directly descended from the species that preceded it Multiple hominin species lived at the same time The genus homo arose about 2.5 million years ago We have now discovered a vast number of hominin fossils, allowing us to trace the evolution of humans fairly well
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.
The two primates shown below both exhibit large eye orbits. One is a tarsier, the other is an owl monkey (the only nocturnal platyrrhine). Why do these primates share the trait for large eyes? Mark the best answer. Group of answer choices Random mutations, since having large eyes is abnormal in these species of primate. Convergent evolution, since both separately evolved large eyes to adapt to a nocturnal activity pattern. Both inherited this trait from their common ancestor, which was also nocturnal with large eyes. Unclear, cannot determine from the information given.
Draw an evolutionary tree representing the hominins from 7 million years to the present. You can use a combination of dotted and solid lines to indicate descent.
Adaptations are physical or behavioral traits that help an organism survive in its environment. What are some of the adaptations in the evolution of hominins that allowed for the evolution of the genus Homo to evolve (eventually) into modern humans (Homo sapiens)? (Note: you don’t have to explain why these adaptations allowed the genus to evolve, just list some of the adaptations.)
DNA sequences in many human genes are very similar to the sequences of corresponding genes in chimpanzees. Which of the following statements is the explanation for this result? Group of answer choices Convergent evolution led to the DNA similarities. Humans and chimpanzees share a relatively recent common ancestor. Humans evolved from chimpanzees. Chimpanzees evolved from humans.
