Human Evolution

Human evolution is the process of evolution of humans from early man to anatomically modern humans. The process of evolution in humans leads to the gradual development of traits like bipedalism. Humans are the highly social animals that make them the most advanced animal on Earth. Human evolution is an outcome of interaction among the following processes:

Label the four parts that make up the cranial buttressing system of Homo erectus (where are they located): supraorbital torus, sagittal keel, angular torus, occipital torus H. habilis skulls do not have a cranial buttressing system. Different skull functions show species developments. What different activities did H. erectus engage in that H. habilis did not? Where was the Nariokotome skeleton found? How old is the fossil?

Be sure to note if incisors (upper/lower), canines, premolars and molars are present. Also note special features of molar teeth in the bobcat and the mule deer. If it’s easier to instead do this on the field guide with an annotated picture of each skull type, that works too – just note that here. Lagomorpha skull and dentition characteristics
Match the hominin species with the characters they exhibit. Though each option might apply to more than one species, each character is only used once. Australopithecus robustus [Choose ] V Postorbital constriction Cranial capacity 700+cc Anterior pillars Short, wide palate Hyper-thick molar enamel and molarized premolars Australopithecus boisei Homo rudolfensis [Choose ] Australopithecus africanus [Choose ] Homo habilis [Choose]
Apart from the actual physical evolution of HOMININ, there has also been an evolution in the type and method of food intake of hominins from Ardipithecus to Australopithecus and Paranthropus (so together they are both Australopithecus), to Homo habilis to Homo erectus to Neanderthals and finally to Homo sapiens. Explain this by defining the difference using the groupings I mentioned.
Chiroptera skull and dentition characteristics Be sure to note if incisors (upper/lower), canines, premolars and molars are present. Also note special features of molar teeth in the bobcat and the mule deer.
