In a few short sentences, describe the most widely accepted hypothesis concerning the evolution of bipedalism? (use your  own words please)

In about 250 words, provide a summary about the animal group known as bonobos and some of their unique traits and adaptations (i.e. physical traits and behavioral traits). Pay specific attention to their learned behaviors.Where does your chosen species live, i.e. what kind of environment? Where does the species fit in the primate family tree?  Provide a brief personal reflection on what you found interesting about the species.

Assume that you discovered Caenorhabditis elegans that crawl significantly slower than others. How would you determine whether this behavior was due to an injury from the environment or to an inherited trait? A goal of using animal models is to explain the molecular detail of specific behaviors encoded in the human brain. How would you compare the developmental biology experiments on memory and learning using the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, as evidence about the evolution of a human behavior?

Why are primates social? Think about this question from an evolutionary perspective.

How does the Hardy-Weinberg formula apply to the rise of bipedalism?

Contrast what you learned about how H. naledi walked to how A. sediba walked (google it). What are the key differences between the two? How is each different from how we walk? Give some reasons why this might matter to our understanding of where us modern humans fit into the evolutionary story.

This is a potential phylogenetic tree created by anthropologists at UC Berkeley.A-Ardipithecus ramidusB-Australopithecus anamensisC-Australopithecus afarensisD-Australopithecus africanusE-Paranthropus aethiopicusF-Paranthropus robustusG-Paranthropus boiseiH-Australopithecus garhiI-Homo rudolfensisJ-Homo habilusK-Homo ergasterL-Homo erectusM-Homo heidelbergensisN-Homo neanderthalensisO-Homo sapiens What kinds of evidence to you think anthropologists used to create this tree?

What differences are there between the male and female forms of the mandrills and baboons? (sexual dimorphism)
