Which pair of primates shares the most recent common ancestor? select the best answer
O old world monkeys & gibbons
O gibbons & humans
O old world monkeys & new world monkey
O bonobos and orangutans
O prosimians & gorillas
Humans are grouped in the order of Primate because primates are mammals who have:
O long legs, upright walking, hairless faces.
five toes, no tail, short necks.
large brains, opposable thumbs, long parental investment.
speech, writing, technology.
QUESTION 4

gorillas
chimps
bonobos
all of the above.
QUESTION 5
The fossil record indicates there have been several species of our genus, homo, but we are the la
separates members of genus homo from other bipedal hominidae?
Homo habilis was a notable species of primate because;
We have clear evidence that they were making and using tools
They had brains as large as modern humans
They are the direct ancestors of modern humans
We have clear evidence that they were using written language

- What is wrong with this statement: Birds evolved lighter bones to allowed them to fly and take advantage of open niches. All of the choices are true; none are false. It implies that the variation in the anatomy of birds did not come first, but rather the need did. It implies that there is an intent to evolution. It implies that adaptations evolve out of a need.arrow_forwardAristotle classified all large, mobile, unshelled aquatic animals without a vertebral column as: the malacostraca the zoophytes the birds the malacia the ostracodermsarrow_forwardPropliopithecids vs. Parapithecids. Adapids and Omomyids. Dryopithecus and Oreopithecus. With the exception of Gigantopithecus, many students struggle to differentiate between the various fossil primates. So, let's write about them, have a little fun, and help embed them in our brains. Create an original comic or storyboard that illustrates one of the fossil primates. Unlike the Primate Profiles, this is NOT meant to be a research project! This is meant to be a study tool for you. You should build comics primarily, if not exclusively.arrow_forward
