Primate Classification
Give this one a try later!
Haplorphines (monkeys and apes) - likely tarsiers and Strepsirhines (lemurs,
galagos, lorises)
HAPLORPHINES
-Catarrhines= old world monkeys (African, Asia) and Apes
-Platyrhines= New World Monkeys (S. and Central America)
Caterrhines divided into cercopithecodea (monkeys) and hominoidea
(apes)
Gregor Mendel

, Monk Gregor Mendel (1822-1884)
-studied genetics through pea plants
-inheritance occurs through passing down units (genes), maintain form over
generations
-come in parents, one from each parent
-alleles, different versions of genes
Franz Boas

1858-1942
Humanistic/People focused
Cultural relativism- not comparing/ranking cultures (broadens
understanding of how people interact with world)
Combine bio with culture to understand human cultures
Didn't believe in racial hierarchy (child of Jewish refugee)
First curator of Field Museum's anthropology collection
Natural Selection
Give this one a try later!
, -Evolution
-Forces that means that advantageous trait for environment are more likely
to be passed on because organisms with traits more likely to reproduce
Three types
-directional=Selection for one extreme (giraffe necks getting longer over
time)
-stabilizing=Average survive, extreme dies out. No deviation from average
(human birth size staying relatively the same over time)
-disruptive= selects for the extremes, average dies out (selecting against
the mean i.e. bird beaks)
Australopithecines: Australopithecus afarensis

Eastern Africa, 3.85-2.95 MYA. Lucy. Biped, small-ish brain, arms adapted
for climbing tees
Difference between Genetic Bottleneck and Founders Effect
Give this one a try later!
Founders- small group breaks off and 2 populations form: original and
founding
Genetic Bottleneck: something happens to original pop, killing off majority.
1 population: original is reduced
Homo neanderthalensis
