Focus of Cultural Anthropology correct answers Study living populations, spend time with
cultural groups to gain more intimate perspectives on cultures.
focus of archeological anthropology correct answers study past human behaviours, investigate
material remains left behind by humans
focus of linguistic anthropology correct answers study all aspects of language and language use.
focus of biological anthropology correct answers study human evolution and variation.
what is anthropology correct answers The study of humankind, viewed from the perspective of
all people and all times.
define culture correct answers learned behaviour that is transmitted from person to person-
unifying theme of study in cultural anthropology.
define artifacts correct answers material objects from past cultures.
define language correct answers set of written or spoken symbols used by humans to refer to
things other than themselves.
define sociolinguistics correct answers the science of investigating language's social contexts.
biocultural approach correct answers the scientific study of the interrelationship between what
humans have inherited genetically and culturally.
hominins correct answers humans and humanlike ancestors.
earliest human ancestor appearance correct answers first appearing in Africa around 6-8 mya
genome correct answers the complete set of genetic information— chromosomal and
mitochondrial DNA—for an organism or species that represents all of the inheritable traits
primates correct answers A group of mammals in the order Primates that have complex behavior,
varied forms of locomotion, and a unique suite of traits, including large brains, forward-facing
eyes, fingernails, and reduced snouts.
forensic anthropology correct answers The branch of physical anthropology pertaining to the
recovery, analysis, and identification of human remains.
what kind of science do bioanthropologists practise? correct answers interdisciplinary science.
, What makes humans different from animals? correct answers six big events; Bipedalism, loss of
honing canine, tools/material culture, speech, hunting & domestication of plants and animals,

speech correct answers oral expression of language. 2.5 mya
hunting correct answers the catching and killing of wildlife for food. 1 mya
domesticated food correct answers think: domestication, raising livestock, etc. 11,000 years ago
hyoid bone function correct answers unique to hominins reflects ability to speak.
social learning correct answers the capacity to learn from other humans, enabling the
accumulation of knowledge across many generations
scientific method correct answers An empirical research method in which data is gathered from
observations of natural phenomena, hypothesis are formulated and tested and conclusions are
drawn that validate or modify the original hypothesis.
hypothesis correct answers testable statements that potentially explain specific phenomena
observed in the natural world.
empirical correct answers verified through observation and experiment
theory correct answers an explanation as to why a natural phenomenon takes place, grounded in
a great deal of evidence.
arboreal correct answers living in trees
terrestrial correct answers living on land
anatomical correct answers pertaining to an organism's physical structure
morphology correct answers physical shape and appearance
scientific laws correct answers a statement of fact describing natural phenomena
