Biological/ Physical anthropology(All Accurately solved)
Biological/ Physical anthropology correct answers the study of human evolution and biological
diversity of human populations.
Primatology correct answers study of primates in zoos and natural settings. Data on primate
social systems and behavior. (centered around human evolution)
Anthropometrya correct answers measurement of human body parts and dimensions. Body mass
and composition indicate nutritional status in living people-
Bone (skeletal) biology correct answers study of bone genetics, cell structure, growth,
development, and decay; patterns of movement (biomechanics)
Paleopathology correct answers study of disease and injury in skeletons from archaeological sites
Forensic anthropology correct answers recovery, analysis, and identification of human remains
in legal contexts.
Molecular Anthropology correct answers genetic analyses to asses' evolutionary relationships.
Ancient and contemporary populations. Reconstruct of migration and settlement.
Paleoanthropology correct answers study of early hominids (human like creatures) through fossil
remains. Done through multidisciplinary teams. Lucy- 80% of her was found
Creationism correct answers Divine creation of life forms as described in Genesis. Biological
characteristics of life forms immutable (no evolution). Intelligent design- believe was a divine
imposition of power that created things.
Catastrophism correct answers idea that large catastrophic events (like flood of Noah) kill of
certain species
Evolution correct answers rejection of creationism and catastrophism. Occurred without divine
intervention. Charles Darwin -- influenced by Lyell's concept of uniformitarianism (explanations
of past events should be sought and long term actions of normal forces today-- Grand Canyon
being formed-- explains why it looks the way it does today) All life forms are ultimately related.
The number of species has increased over time (not immutable)
Natural Selection correct answers process by which nature selects the forms most fit to survive
and reproduce in a given environment (survival of fittest)
Human biological Plasticity correct answers human body is able to change when effected by
certain environments. (People who move higher up in the Andes in one generation will have
bigger lungs)
