Question
Chapter 22, Problem 14TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain: The discrepancy why reindeer bones have been found alongside the remains of H. sapiens in southern Europe, but currently reindeers exist only in northern Europe and Asia.
Concept introduction: Homo sapiens are the modern day humans and the only surviving species of the genus Homo. They are in existence since 30,000 years. Reindeers are artiodactyles and exclusively inhabit the Polar Regions, that is, they are circumpolar in distribution.

What social group behaviors (cultural adaptations) are inferred that may have been important factors that enabled the first H. erectus populations to migrate out of Africa
Why are the Dmanisi Homo erectus fossils significant?
A. They demonstrate that H. erectus independently evolved in Western Asia and Africa.
B. They show that H. erectus evolved in Western Asia and then migrated to Africa.
C. They demonstrate that H. erectus migrated to Western Asia shortly after evolving in Africa.
D. They show that H. erectus migrated from Europe into Western Asia.
Choose true or false for each of the following statements:
A. Neanderthal DNA shows that they share a number of modern human traits, and likely interbred with human populations leaving Africa as they moved through Southwest Asia.
B. The fate of the Neanderthals is clear from fossil and artifactual evidence - they simply died out about 27 000 years ago.
C. Platyrrhines differ from catarrhines in the following ways: they have three premolars instead of two, they are found in Central and South America, and they have prehensile tails, feet, and hands.
D. The Harvard Medical School bacteria video demonstrated the principles of gene flow and genetic drift.

- Distinguish among the following members of genus Homo: H. habilis, H. ergaster, H. erectus, H. antecessor, H. heidelbergensis, H. neanderthalensis, and H. sapiens.arrow_forwardBrown et al. and Morwood et al. reported in 2004 that they had found skeletal remains of a previously unknown type of hominin, now dubbed Homo floresiensis, on the Indonesian island of Flores. These hominins were small (approximately 1 m tall) with small braincases (approximately 380 cm3) as compared with other hominins. The remains of H. floresiensis were found alongside handmade stone tools and the remains of dwarf elephants that also inhabited the island, suggesting that H. floresiensis was able both to make tools and to coordinate the hunting of animals much larger than itself. H. floresiensis is estimated to have lived at the site where the remains were found from 700,000 years ago to 60,000 years ago. Which would be the most feasible method of figuring out to which other hominin species H. floresiensis was most closely related? Compare the average body size of H. floresiensis to that of each of the other hominin species. Compare the type of prey hunted by H. floresiensis to that…arrow_forwardCentral African chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) and bonobos (Pan paniscus) are two different species of chimpanzees that live in sub-Saharan Africa. The map indicates the regions where central African chimpanzees and bonobos can be found. A scientist claims that central African chimpanzees and bonobos were once a single ancestral population before evolving into two separate species. Which of the following characteristics of the region could help to explain how a single ancestral population evolved into two separate species of chimpanzees?arrow_forward
- According to a number of paleoanthropologists, the fossils assigned to the species Homo habilis actually belong to two different species. Please name these two species.arrow_forwardIn a comparison of Homo erectus, archaic Homo sapiens, and modern Homo sapiens, the general trend in robusticity over time in Homo can be characterized as ____. a.) increasing over time slightly until 100,000 years ago, then significant increase b.) no real change in robusticity is detected over time c.) decreasing significantly over time d.) decreasing slightly over time until 100,000 years ago followed by a dramatic decreasearrow_forwardAssuming the Denisovans, Neanderthals, and humans were able to interbreed, what does this tell you about their species status according to the biological species concept?arrow_forward
- What do the Homo erectus fossils from Sangiran, Java, demonstrate? A. H. erectus spread to Eastern Asia after spreading to Europe. B. H. erectus fossils are older in Asia than in Africa. C. H. erectus inhabited parts of Eastern Asia prior to living in Western Asia. D. H. erectus spread rapidly eastward from Western Asia.arrow_forwardNeandertals seem to have vanished from the fossil record approximately 29,000 years ago, although they remain in our DNA. A child's skeleton from approximately 24, 500 years ago indicates a hybrid species. is this statement true or falsearrow_forwardWhich statement is NOT true about the early hominins: A) The angle of the foramen magnum on Sahelanthropus tchadensis ("Toumai") indicates a vertically oriented upper neck, a clear sign of bipedalism. B) The reconstructed skeleton of Ardipithecus ramidus ("Ardi") suggests she was adapted for bipedal walking and climbing in trees. C) Early hominins such as Sahelanthropus and Ardipithecus had small, chimp-sized brain. D) All of the above are true.arrow_forward
- Suggest a probable selective advantage of each of the following traits. a)clear wings of many flying insects b)long tongue of a chameleon c)tendrils of climbing plants d)eel's body shapearrow_forwardThe indian rhinoceros is a natural inhabitant of which indian state?arrow_forwardAccording to "The Life and Death of a Neanderthal (Shanidar 1)”, What does it say about his community? A.There’s no way he could have survived these injuries on his own. Homo sapiens must have cared for him because they were the only species that had any medical knowledge. B.There’s no way he could have survived these injuries on his own. Other Neanderthals must have cared for him, brought him food, possibly amputated his arm so that he could live. C.Nandy survived with these injuries on his own because his entire community was killed and Nandy lived alone. D.Nandy survived with these injuries on his own because his community did not take care of each other.arrow_forward
