According to the video "War and civilization: Horse warriors" the Romans described their foes, the Huns,

Advances in ______ around the 1930s contributed to the science of stockbreeding. - ✔✔-gentics
An outcome of cognitive empathy, whereby humans project or attribute their own feelings, beliefs, and
motivations to another animal. - ✔✔-Anthropomorphism
Archeological evidence from the Neolithic shows that - ✔✔-the first permanent settlements were still

Around 4000 BP, the major trade route between the ancient cities of Kanesh (in Anatolia/Turkey) and
Assur (in Mesopotamia/Syria) - ✔✔-depended on donkey caravans, consisting of as many as 3000
animals
As it relates to the Hominin Family Tree, please select the correct chronological order from oldest to most
recent. - ✔✔-Australopithecus species, early Homo species, Homo sapiens
, As part of the Industrial Revolution, animals became reconceptualized as meat. This is evidenced by... -
✔✔-animals being treated as a commodity and people becoming separated from the meat production
process
Based on current evidence, what kind of empathy is a trait of humans AND many other animals? - ✔✔-
high levels of emotional empathy
Based on the goat experiment described in class that tested goat's attunement to human faces and body
postures (Nawroth et. al., 2016) we can conclude that - ✔✔-goats attend to body and head orientation
Based on the goat experiment described in class that tested goat's attunement to human faces and body
postures (Nawroth et. al., 2016) we can conclude that - ✔✔-goats attend to body and head orientation
By 40,000 years before present, fully modern humans had out-competed and likely exterminated all other
forms of Homo. Likely reasons included greater cognitive complexity, projectile weapons, and perhaps
most importantly the partnership with wolves. - ✔✔-Modern Human's Rise to Dominance
By the emergence of Homo, meat was a regular part of the diet. This kind of diet enabled - ✔✔-larger
brains and smaller guts
Cats were clearly domesticated by 10,000 BP in Egypt. - ✔✔-false
Conservationists that want to restore the ecosystem of Europe's forests and grasslands are using the DNA
of extinct aurochs to selectively breed cattle to not only look like aurochs but also behave like ancient
aurochs in the ecosystem. This effort is called ________. - ✔✔-rewilding
Dog domestication did not newly create the capacity for dogs to attend to human gestures; rather, dogs
have retained this basic capacity that was present in their wild ancestors - ✔✔-Wolf social competence
During the Middle Ages in Europe, large numbers of black cats were killed because - ✔✔-a Pope
