- Which of the following is NOT a derived trait in primates? A. Claws B. Opposable fingers/toes C. Postorbital bar/plate D. Trichromacyarrow_forwardWhile observing primates at the zoo, you notice that the particular monkey you are watching uses its hands, feet, and tail to grasp branches while moving throughout the trees in its enclosure. This is most likely a(n) A. New World monkey, because many of these species have a tail with grasping abilities similar to those observed in nonhuman primates hands and feet B. Old World monkey, because many of these species have a tail with grasping abilities similar to those observed in nonhuman primate hands and feet C. New World monkey, because these are the only monkeys that live in trees D. Lesser ape, because many of these species have a tail with grasping abilities similar to those observed in nonhuman primate hands and feetarrow_forwardA. The earliest evolutionary change in the hominins was a. increased brain size. b. habitual bipedalism. c. changes in dentition. d. all of the above (they happened at the same time). B. Which of the following statements about endurance running is correct? a. Endurance running is found among all primates, but humans are most adapted for it. b. The ability to control body temperature is likely the most important running adaptation. c. Humans can outrun almost all other mammals, including horses, at short distances. d. Endurance running probably emerged with the appearance of Homo sapiens. Clear my choicearrow_forward

- All primates have two eyes that face forward. This includes humans. Having two eyes is an evolutionary advantage and provides binocular vision, which means that two eyes are involved in the visual process. One of the advantages of having two eyes is the ability to perceive depth. Depth perception is achieved by: a. analyzing the differences in the images falling on the left and right eyes b. allowing light rays to converge and project an upside down image on the retina c. the optic chiasm d. changing the shape of the lens to accommodate the distance of an objectarrow_forwardAccording to " Denisovans: Decoding the Secrets of Our Mysterious Ancient Cousins”, what do scientists think the Denisovans looked like?
