Radiometric dating and the cranial capacity measurements are back from the paleolab for the specimen your friend at the museum called you about.  She calls again to tell you the results.  The cranial capacity is 442 cubic centimeters and it dates to 3 million years ago.  After having identified the cranial traits present, you can now take this new information and provide, at least, the genus you think it could belong to in order to help your friend. Based on this information, choose from the options below, the category to which you think it most likely belongs. Group of answer choices Robust Australopithecine early Genus Homo Pre-Australopith Late Genus Homo Gracile Australopithecine Premodern

How can a skull of a specimen be classified as a Strepsirrhine?

73. The 3.8 million year old find from Laetoli, Tanzania, provides evidence for which of the following?   A foramen magnum at the base of the skull (as opposed to towards the back).   An "S"-shaped spinal column.   A cupped pelvis (hips), and a femur (upper leg bone) that angles under our body.   A big toe that is aligned with the rest of the toes, and both a longitudinal and transverse arch in the foot.   All of the above

please help me identify this fossil and how it lived (ate, mobility, environment, etc.) and how old it is.

Please answer the questions and write paragraph. 3: What piece of information did the researchers use to suggest that Homo erectus did not have much body hair? 4: Where is Dmanisi? Why is it important? 5: Name three things about Homo erectus that separate them from the earlier hominins, including Homo habilis?

Can you ID ancestral skulls and non-human primate skulls? At least, which is older?

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]

One of the main characteristics that defines the hominin tribe are their bipedal tendencies.  However, as you have noted in reading for this week's assignments, not all hominins had the same bipedal capabilities.  Early hominins can be defined as being at various stages of transitioning into bipedalism while later forms are obligate bipeds.  At the same time there are many other things that we can explore that relate to hominins.  Often times there are new discoveries that are made and those discoveries make the news.I would like you to share a news article that specifically deals with hominins.  The news article can be up to 10 years old.  Make sure you do the following for points. Note: Make sure that the news that you read only deals with one of the following genera - Sahelanthropus, Ardipithecus, Australopithecus. Give a brief summary of what you read.  In one short paragraph tell the class what the news was about. Include the following points. Name the species in question. Where…
