What do you think geologists would find in the rock record as evidence of human life today million years later? Do you think we will leave a lot of traces and evidences of our existence in the fossil record?
Some genetic studies suggest that the most recent common ancestor of Homo sapiens that lived outside of Africa spread from Africa about 50,000years ago. Compare this date to the dates of the fossil record. Can both the genetic results and the dates ascribe to the fossils be correct? Justify.
Which is a difference between a forensic anthropologist and a bioarcheologist?
a forensic anthropologist looks at the whole crime scene where the bioarcheologist only looks at the skeletal remains
a forensic anthropologist builds a biological profile and a bioarcheologist looks at grave goods
a forensic anthropologist looks at modern humans and a bioarcheologist looks at fossil hominins
a forensic anthropologist works on recent cases where a bioarcheologist looks at sites deep in the past

- One type of fish fossil is found only in a rock layer near the bottom of a canyon, while a different kind of fish fossil is found only in a rock layer 4,000 feet higher, near the top of the canyon. Which statement would a scientist most likely offer to explain this situation? A.) The fish in the lower layer lived in the deep sea. While the other fish lived in shallow water. B.) The fish in the upper layer lived a healthier life than the other fish. C.) The rock in the lower layer is denser than the rock in the upper layer D.) The rock in the upper layer must have formed in freshwater E.) The fish in the upper layer lived more recently than the other fish.
