There are 3 common types of symbioses - ANS-mutualism, commensalism,
parasitism
People of different cultures put non-human animals into different categories or
groupings. These categories primarily reflect - ANS-how the animal(s) are used
As described in the textbook (Chapter 1), humans generally place animals into

and cat.
In many non-Western cultures, non-human animals are - ANS-incorporated into
their spiritual or religious beliefs
One way to describe and understand the biological connection between humans and
other animals is - ANS-as types of ecological interrelationships
Because for millions of years our ancestors' survival depended on recognizing the
potential danger and also food value of animals - ANS-our brains' visual system
evolved to quickly and efficiently recognize animals
Use of fire was an important development because it allowed our ancestors - ANS-
to cook meat for easier digestion & nutrient absorption
When did our ancestors first start making tools according to archaeological
evidence? (Note: mya= million years ago) - ANS-~2.6 mya
Why do people today find savanna-like settings attractive? - ANS-because our
ancestors evolved in that type of landscape
As our early ancestors became full-time predators (hunters of large game) they
would also have evolved psychological adaptations that .... (select all correct

Described in Chapter 2, The archeologist Stephen Mithen has argued that the
capacity to read an animal's mind, to see the world from an animal's perspective,
first appeared in fully modern humans (i.e., only very recently in human evolution).
In Mithen's view, earlier pre-modern ancestral humans, although successful
hunters, - ANS-used mind reading only for other humans but not for other animals
In the human lineage, what evolved first? - ANS-upright walking
Bipedal locomotion in our early Australopithecus ancestors allowed for - ANS-
foraging away from the forest trees AND better heat regulation

young age? - ANS-Savanna

serve as pets and play companions for children in the family
Under the "Camp Dog" hypothesis, what is proposed as the steps toward dog
domestication? - ANS-Wolves became "self-domesticated" for low fear and
aggression, and later were domesticated once humans were in permanent
settlements.
In the video "And Man Created Dog" what traits lead to wolves developing a
survival advantage around humans? - ANS-Least aggressive, least territorial, most
curious

they encountered that descended from the first migratory wave (Neanderthals
Homo neanderthalensis)? - ANS-All choices are correct
Which of the following statements is NOT evidence of an early relationships
between wolf-dogs and humans: - ANS-
