Which of the following does not distinguish humans from other primates?
a. We are the only primates that use tools.
b. We live a long time, including well past our reproductive years (past menopause).
c. We manipulate resources on a scale that is not matched by any other animal, primate or otherwise.
d. We are bipedal, with non-prehensile feet.
Primates can be distinguished from other mammals by their
Question 34 options:
a)
hair and mammary glands.
b)
lack of a tail.
c)
adaptations for climbing trees, such as hands and feet that grip and arms/shoulders for brachiation.
d)
amniotic eggs and presence of a jaw.
Define natural selection using the 5 points below to explain its role in understanding primate behavior.
(1) there is variation among individuals;
(2) some of that variation is heritable;
(3) there is always competition between individuals for resources;
(4) some variants outcompete other variants and leave more offspring;
(5) to the extent that the parent's traits are heritable, then a larger portion of the next generation will reflect those traits.
