Briefly describe the fossils and artwork found in the Rising Star Cave System. What fossils (and engravings) were found and what do they suggest about mortuary practices and modern behavior among archaic humans (and specifically, H. naledi)? Be as specific as possible. (Minimum of 3 complete sentences.)
Which of the following has all correct classifications for humans.
Question 36 options:
a)
Humans are in all of the following groups: Chordata, Vertebrata, Mammalia, Eutheria, Primates, Family Hominidae, Species is Homo sapiens sapiens.
b)
Humans are in the following groups: Chordata, Vertebrata, Class Osteichthyes, Species is Homo sapiens sapiens.
c)
Humans are not chordates. We are in the following groups: Vertebrata, Mammalia, Eutheria, Primates, Family Hominidae, Species is Homo sapiens sapiens.
A skeptic of evolution asks the following question – “If humans evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?” Use your understanding of primate evolution to explain to this individual why their view of primate evolution is skewed. Reference examples.

- 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.arrow_forwardExplain how understanding genetics and the forces of evolution, non-human primate behavior and biology, and our evolutionary history can help us understand human biology today.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is true regarding the 115,000 – 60,000 ybp hominid sites surrounding Mount Carmel, Israel? Question 99 options: the inhabitants all made use of Late Stone Age technologies. they are all Neanderthal sites. they are all Anatomically Modern Homo sapiens sites. there are both Neanderthal and Anatomically Modern Homo sapiens sites. skeletal remains from these sites show dramatic changes from Neanderthal-appearing skeletons to modern-appearing skeletons, thereby lending support to replacement of Neanderthals by Anatomically Modern Humans.arrow_forward
- There is speculation that climate change has been a driving force in the history of human evolution. Briefly research this topic and discuss whether or not you believe Gomulkiewicz and Holt’s model for “evolutionary rescue” could have contributed to human evolution.arrow_forwardCan you answer this questions. The "Piltdown man" fossil was exciting to the anthropological world becasue A. it showed the world that the field of anthropology was part of the science world B. it exhibited a combination of ape and human characteristics C. It showed that gracile and robust austrapithecines lived in the same environment d. it proved that neanderthals were indeed part of the modern homo sapiens linagearrow_forwardWhat type of evolution do humans have?

- Cultural anthropologists are most commonly associated with which of the following activities? Group of answer choices A-The recovery and analysis of material culture from earlier civilizations B-The study of the patterns of belief and behavior found in modern and historical cultures by means of observation and recorded ethnographies C-The direct observation and recording of non-human primate behavior D-The comparison of language roots between languages to study migration E-Skeletal analysis of modern, historic and prehistoric human remains to reconstruct biological profilesarrow_forwardPrimate features such as rotating shoulder joints and having big toes widely separated from the other toes is helpful for Question 24 options: bipedalism brachiation running while carrying things throwing while climbing swimmingarrow_forwardIn many ways, modern human lifestyles are at odds with our bipedal locomotion. At no point in history have humans been as inactive as today (especially in developing nations), which has led to a number of physical ailments, such as obesity, loss of mobility, and low back pain. What are some other impacts of evolution on our species? What are some ways we can alleviate these problems? You should include any recommended study tips, review videos, or other materials.arrow_forward
- I would like you to assist me in setting up a dating profile on Hominin (homo sapien). Would you date a hominin? Australopithecus afarensis is famous thanks to Lucy, but Paranthropus robustus could be a diamond in the rough! Once again, let's have a little fun with this learning activity. Showcase your knowledge of the important attributes of one of the fossil hominins covered in this Unit by writing a dating profile for one. Creativity is welcome and encouraged! But all of the responses on this dating profile should relate to/be unique to the fossil hominin you choose. There must be good reasons for your answers that relate to the morphology, physiology, behavior, and/or environment of your chosen hominin. Have a short introduction of Homonin you choose, and answer the questions below: What are your best physical features and why? What are your special skills and/or favorite hobbies? What are you looking for in a partner? What is your favorite food? What are you…arrow_forwardThese are considered as distinguishing features of certain species of organisms?
