adaptive radiation - correct answer ✔✔The relatively rapid expansion and
diversification of life-forms into new ecological niches.
allele frequency - correct answer ✔✔In a population, the percentage of all the
alleles at a locus accounted for by one specific allele.
argon-argon (40Ar/39Ar) method - correct answer ✔✔Working on a similar basis
as the potassium-argon method, this approach uses the ratio of argon-40 to
argon-39 for dating igneous and metamorphic rocks; it offers precision and
temporal range advantages for dating some early hominin sites.
adaptive niche - correct answer ✔✔The entire way of life of an organism: where it
lives, what it eats, how it gets food, how it avoids predators, and so on.
affiliative behaviors - correct answer ✔✔Amicable associations between
individuals. Affiliative behaviors, such as grooming, reinforce social bonds and
promote group cohesion.
Acheulian (ash'-oo-lay-en) - correct answer ✔✔Pertaining to a stone tool industry
from the Early and Middle Pleistocene; characterized by a large proportion of
bifacial tools (flaked on both sides). Acheulian tool kits are common in Africa,
southwest Asia, and western Europe, but they're thought to be less common
elsewhere. Also spelled Acheulean.
, binomial nomenclature - correct answer ✔✔(binomial, meaning "two names") In
taxonomy, the convention established by Carolus Linnaeus whereby genus and
species names are used to refer to species. For example, Homo sapiens refers to
human beings.
acclimatization - correct answer ✔✔Physiological responses to changes in the
environment that occur during an individual's lifetime. Such responses may be
temporary or permanent, depending on the duration of the environmental change
and when in the individual's life it occurs. The capacity for acclimatization may
typify an entire species or population, and because it's under genetic influence,
it's subject to evolutionary factors such as natural selection or genetic drift.
Aurignacian - correct answer ✔✔Pertaining to an Upper Paleolithic stone tool
industry in Europe beginning about 40,000 ya.
Dalton - correct answer ✔✔Late or transitional Paleo-Indian projectile point type
that dates between 10,000 and 8,000 ya in the eastern United States.
çatalhöyük (chaetal´-hae-yook´) - correct answer ✔✔A large early Neolithic site in
southern Turkey. The name is Turkish for "forked mound."
agriculture - correct answer ✔✔Cultural activities associated with planting,
herding, and processing domesticated species; farming.
Chatelperronian - correct answer ✔✔Pertaining to an Upper Paleolithic industry
found in France and Spain.
