Current evidence indicates that the earliest anatomically modern Homo sapiens fossils are from which geographical location?
Group of answer choices
Africa
France
Germany
India
China
Which of the following is not an adaptive pattern of early African hominins?
Group of answer choices
Speciation was occurring quite frequently.
Early hominin species had restricted ranges, thus it is likely they each exploited a small area allowing for rapid genetic diversification through genetic drift and natural selection and speciation.
Most of the species appear to have been tied to desert-arid habitats.
With the exception of early Homo, there are few evolutionary trends regarding increases in body size or encephalization.
All of the early hominins show an ape-like developmental pattern.
What can we say about Homo sapiens?
Select one:
O a. Originated in Africa, shared a common ancestor with
Neanderthals, Denisovans, and most likely descendants
from a group related to Homo heildenbergensis
O b. Migrated out of Africa, most likely 2 million years ago,
hybridized with Homo floresiensis and differentiated from
other Homo as the sole species to evolved language.
O c. Migrated from Ethiopia 200,000 years ago, hybridized
with Denisovans and Neanderthals to later replace them
O d. Is the result of hybridization between Neanderthals and
Denisovans, only lineage to show bipedalism and
posses the largest brain capacity of all Homo
O e. A and C are correct

Ardi has small teeth like ours, indicative of a generalized diet. So small teeth are older than larger teeth of extant chimpanzees! Ardi also had limbs shaped more like ours than chimpanzees’. Ardi’s skull also shares other features with ours – for example, it is relatively narrow. The hypothesis we tested assumed that the hominin ancestor resembled chimpanzees, and the assumption was quite common among paleoanthropologists until recently (Lovejoy, 2009). Considering both these data about Ardi and the data that you took, revise your hypothesis.
