Chapter 51, Problem 5TYU

(A) the behavioral difference is caused by genetic differences between populations.
(B) members of different populations have different nutritional requirements.
(C) the cultural tradition of using stones to crack nuts has arisen in only some populations.
(D) members of different populations differ in learning ability.

There are some humans today that have Neandertal and Denisovan genes. Generate a hypothesis about how their genes are also a part of our genes. B) Using this information: In 1993, primatologist Richard Wrangham proposed that "Bonobo hypersexuality appears closely linked to the evolution of female-female alliances. I suggest that these alliances were made possible by relaxed feeding competition."Generate a hypothesis about why Bonobos behave this way..arrow_forwardWhich is the best possible hypothesis for explaining changes in cortical robusticity over time? a.) The decrease in cortical robusticity associated with the appearance of modern humans was rapid and dramatic and resulted in more lightly constructed skeletons. b.) The increase in cortical robusticity associated with the appearance of modern humans was gradual and resulted in larger brain size coupled with a greater ability to deal with predators l. c.) The decrease in cortical robusticity associated with the appearance of archaic Homo sapiens is a part of a long term trend beginning with australopithecines and ending with modern Homo sapiens. d.) None if these statements are an appropriate hypothesis for changes seen in cortical robusticity.arrow_forward

It is largely untenable as evidence of _____ has been found. a) modern human behavior occurring first in Australia; modern behavior from Oceania b) a brain mutation occurring when Homo habilis began making stone tools; Australopithecus afarensis producing Oldowan tools a million years earlier c) a brain mutation occurring when modern humans began leaving Africa; evidence of modern behavior in Africa predating this "revolution" d) The beginning of agriculture in the fertile crescent in the Near East and along the Yangtze and Hwang Ho rivers in China; Agriculture occurring earlier along the Nile river.arrow_forwardAnimals have evolved a range of strategies to successfully respond to threats and challenges. One of these strategies is the ability to learn. As we discussed, not every animal can learn and there are clear costs and benefits to this strategy. Suggest one benefit of the ability to learn and one potential cost. Briefly explain each. (1-2 sentences for each) Since learning is not universal, under which circumstances would it be most likely be a successful strategy? We discussed a framework that examines the influence of predictability on the success of learning ability. Describe this framework. Make sure you discuss all the available conditions and clearly state under which we would expect learning to be successful and where we would not expect it to be successful. What would be an alternative strategy to regulate behaviour when learning is not suitable? Briefly explain your choice. (2-3 sentences)arrow_forward
