The 3.6-million-year-old footprints left by bipedal walkers in Tanzania were probably made by _______. a. australopiths b. Neanderthals c. modem human d. Homo enctus
Genomics and Human Evolution The Denisovan genome contains sequences that originated from an unknown human species. Using Figure 19.11, speculate on which species this might be. Is it possible that there are other ancestral species that may remain to be discovered that would change the phylogeny presented in the figure? FIGURE 19.11 Estimates for the dates of origin and extinction for the three main groups of hominins (green, blue, and orange). The australopithecines split into two groups about 2.7 million years ago. One of those groups, the genus Homo, contains the ancestors to our species, H. sapiens.

Which species was probably the first of the genus Homo to migratefrom Africa?a. Homo erectusb. Homo habilisc. Denisovansd. Homo florensiensise. None of these are correct.
Knowledge of the genomes of ancient homininsmight help us better understand not only the evolutionaryhistory of hominins, but also the traits that differ between usand our relatives—the traits that make us human. Our understandingof the functions of different genes is growing rapidly,so detailed comparisons of our genes to those present in, say,Neanderthals and Denisovans are very revealing. What do youthink are the functions most likely to be related to the geneticdifferences between us and our hominin relatives?
A skull of Homo Neanderthalensisis tested using carbon14. Palaeontologists are wondering about whether the Neanderthal was living at the same time as Homo sapiens, known to be living in the same area 45 000 years ago. Measurements shown the original amount of carbon-14 isotope present in the skull when Neanderthal died is only 1.56%. A) How old is the Neanderthal fossil? B) Could this Neanderthal have been living with Homo sapiens in this area at the same time?
The most recent group of Homo erectus fossils ever found were recovered from Java, Indonesia and date to a range of 50kya to 25kya, making them contemporaneous with modern Homo sapiens elsewhere in the Old World. These fossils are referred to as ____________ _____________. Group of answer choices Homo floresiensis Dmanisi skulls Homo habilis the Hobbits Ngangdong individuals
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.
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.
Two individuals from the San tribe in Africa are more diverse from one another than two individuals from Europe and Asia. This is possibly because hunter-gatherers in Africa share DNA with a variety of other hominin species while only one Homo species populated other regions of the planet. is this statemnet true or false
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
