The morphological heterogeneity of which of the following fossil assemblages makes it difficult
to determine their taxonomic classification? - answersdmanisi
homo florensiensis, despite its small crania capacity, seems to have done which of the
following? - answersmade stone tools
what do we know about the lower limb lengths of homo erectus? - answersan increase in lower
limb length decreased the energy costs of walking or running compared to earlier hominids
what do we know about the diets of an animal with a high 15N value when compared to an
animal with a lower 15N value? - answersthe animal occupied a higher trophic level
besides a larger brain, what other key features help to differentiate the genus homo from the
australopiths? - answersmore rounded brain base and a smaller endless prognathic face
what technique uses the chemical composition of bones and teeth to reconstruct paleodiets
and residential history? - answersstable isotope analysis
what do the morphological features of the archaic hominin fossils (middle to late pleistocene)
found in the central narmada valley, india, suggest? - answersthese suggest that there may
have been two types of archaic hominids in the region during that time
some of the physical characteristics of neandertals (robust body, projecting mid face) have been
suggested as adaptations to what type of environment? - answerscold
, researchers who accept homo heidelbergensis as a valid taxon believe that it was ancestral to
which species in eurasia? - answershomo neanderthalensis
If a chimpanzee is fishing for termites using a stick, which primate anatomical characteristics is
she drawing upon to do so? - answersshe is drawing upon having an opposable thumb
what does the intermembral index reflect? - answersthis reflects a type of primate locomotion
using all four limbs to support the body during movement is referred to as which type of
locomotion? - answersthis is referred to as quadrupedal locomotion
language experiments with chimpanzees, bonobos and gorillas induce which of the following? -
answersthey have some ability to use signs to communicate
chimpanzees sometimes select a stem for eventual use in termite fishing and begin stripping its
leaves even before the termite mound is in sight. what does this imply? - answersthis implies
considerable planning and forethought
behaviours such as baring canines, displays and intergroup conflict are examples of: -
answersagonistic behaviours
what best describes primate teeth? - answersthese are generalized and lack specializations
what is a disadvantage to studying primates living in captive populations? - answersnatural
foraging patterns are disrupted
