In your Introduction to Biological Anthropology class, your instructor asks you to examine a fossil skull and determine which species it is. You note there is a sagittal keel at the top of the skull. Based on this information alone, to which species does the skull belong? A. Australopithecus boisei B. Homo habilis C. Australopithecus garhi D. Homo erectus
Hoplophoneus primaevus Skeleton vs Siberian Tiger Skeleton vs Smilodon Necator SkeltonCompare and contrast the appearance of specific bones in the skeleton. Compare the skeleton of the extinct creatures with the extant creature, and with themselves. How might the variation in anatomy link to the likely function? Compare species' skeletal anatomy based on life history (aquatic vs terrestrial). What are other interesting factors noted in the skeletons?
Nimravids Skeleton vs Siberian Tiger Skeleton vs Smilodon Necator SkeltonCompare and contrast the appearance of specific bones in the skeleton.

Compare a Male Baboon to a Male Human. Compare the Articulated Foot, the Coccyx/Sacrum/Os Coxae, and the Craniums. Describe similarities and differences. Could you identify the species if you came upon a skull of one or the other? How?
As discussed in the short film entitled: The Humans That Lived Before Us, which of the following is not associated with the Fossil remains known as “Lucy”? Group of answer choices a part of our genus a more human-like pelvis thighbone that angled inward toward the knees upright posture
Paleontologists at Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument discovered a new ceratopsid skull. The skull has a moderate-sized neck frill, indicating a small body, and has two short horns. The table shows rock formations at the monument and the location of known fossils relative to those formations. Based on the evolutionary relationship suggested by the anatomy of the skull, in which of the following formations was the skull found? Dakota Wahweap Kaiparowits Canaan Peak
Can you ID ancestral skulls and non-human primate skulls? At least, which is older?
The Evolution of the Stickleback Fish. Watch the ~15 minute video, Making of the Fittest: Evolution of the Stickleback Fish (https://youtu.be/Pv4Ca-f4W9Q) and the 1 minute video “Stickleback Fish Environment” (https://youtu.be/IRqLy3Oz-oM), both from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Answer the questions that follow: True or False? Having pelvic spines is always advantageous to a stickleback. In one sentence, explain your answer. True or False? Dramatic changes in traits, such as the loss of limbs, can occur through mutations affecting a single gene. Provide evidence for your answer. Below is a simplified schematic representation of some of the genetic elements involved in the regulation of Pitx1 gene expression (from HHMI BioInteractive). The large grey rectangle represents the protein-coding region of the Pitx1 The smaller rectangles to the left (b and c) are regulatory switches (networks of regulatory genes); each one allows a specific binding protein to interact with it and…
Using the 3-D models and list of cranial traits, describe the general cranial morphology for H. neanderthalensis. Be sure to describe at least three cranial traits of H. neanderthalensis (i.e., skull size/morphology, prognathism, occipital anatomy, forehead, or dentition). (Minimum of 2 complete sentences.)
Shade the geological time range for each fossilized organism, marking the time period where each fossil belongs to in a darker color (see example for fossil #2: Batostomella gracilis ): Fossil #7: Mucrospirifer thedfordensis Fossil #16: Cardioceras species Fossil #17: Dinosaur bone Fossil #21: Otodus species Fossil #23: Dentalium sexangulare Fossil #24: Physa humerosa
Take a look at the skulls out on display Define and describe the differences between the groupso Australopithecuso Homo habiliso Homo erectuso Homo heidelbergensis How are the non-human primates similar? How do they fit into the tree? Which examples do wehave out?
(1) What is the most common way for a dead organism to avoid decomposition? (2) Why do researchers look for fossils in places that are now dry and barren instead of other places like forests or grasslands? (3) What kind of dating from the lecture or textbook would be the best method for finding the number of years ago when a volcanic rock was formed? (4) Why is the pelvis of a biped shorter and wider than the pelvis of a quadruped? (5) Does the overall shape of Lucy’s pelvis resemble the human pelvis or the chimpanzee pelvis more? Do not think of the size, but compare the outlines of each bone. This is Lucy's skelton below.
