Scientists know that the last common ancestor between chimpanzees and humans lived 5-7 million years ago because: It lived shortly after the disappearance of the dinosaurs at 10 million years ago. O The carliest hominins were found in woodlands O The time the last common ancestor existed can be calculated by comparing chimpanzee and human DNA and using a "molecular clock" Chimpanzee fossils first appear in the fossil record 10 million years ago

Which phenomenon describes individuals that do not share a common ancestor? O Convergent Evolution O Divergent Evolution Homologous Structures O Adaptation

The assumption that it's possible to glean evidence of evolutionary changes in the deep past from fossil evidence, anatomical comparisons, and dating techniques is due to the law of uniformitarianism, which states: O The world operates by certain physical laws that have remained the same throughout time. O The Earth is uniformly covered in fossils. Time flows at a uniform rate on Earth. O All populations of living things change uniformly, at the same rate.

Below is a type of evolutionary tree. Which species is O closely related to?

It is generally accepted by anthropologists and biologists that modern humans arose: 500,000-1,000,000 years ago 350,000-450,000 years ago O 200,000-350,000 years ago 30,000-50,000 years ago O 5,000-7,000 years ago

The percent divergence between humans and gorillas at this locus ( gene) is estimated to be around 14.3%. Use your molecular clock to determine how ling since humans and gorillas shared a common ancestor and provide your answer.

If you as a paleoanthropologist are plannin an excavation at a hominin site in East Africa which is dated to about 2 million years old, which fossil hominin species might you expect to find?

After the Great Dying, we enter the Era which covers the evolutionary history of the dinosaurs up until they go extinct. Cambrian O Mesozoic Paleozoic O Cenozoic

Human beings belong to both the hominid and hominin clades. O True O False
