- You are searching for hominin fossils in Africa and discover a skull with a sagittal keel, an angular cranial vault, a brain size of 900 cc, and a bar-like supraorbital torus. Which hominin did you most likely find? Homo habilis Homo erectus Homo neanderthalensis O Homo floresiensis Homo nalediWhy are all of the fossil taxa from the Pliocene in this module called hominins? Because they are in the family, Hominidae Because they are in the subfamily, Homininae O Because they are in the tribe, Hominini Because they are bipedal.Put the following hominins in order from the oldest to youngest in terms of when they first appear in the fossil record. The Denisovans Ardipithecus kodebba Paranthropus Australopithecus oforensis Home erectus
- Put the following hominins in order from the oldest to youngest in terms of when they first appear in the fossil record. The Denisovans Ardipithecus kadabbe Paranthropus Australopithecus aforensis Homo erectusThe late miocebe african enviirment where the earliest hominids evolved was characterized byIf 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?
- Neanderthals are recognizably human but have distinctive facial features and a stocky build that were evolutionary adaptations to cold, dry environments. They shared Europe for 10,000 years with Homo sapiens. Today they no longer exist. Beyond these facts the fate of Neanderthals has generated much debate. Why did Neanderthalsbecome extinct? State at least two major factors toexplain their fate.There is a early part of the finds of the first bipedal hominid to the Ardispithecines and the Astralopithecines. From the Pre-Australopithecines like the earliest bi-pedal, the Sahelanthropus Tchadensis (7-6mya) to the Ardipithecus kadabba and Ardipithecus ramidus (5.8-4.4 mya). The ramidus was found by Tim White, UCB Professor and a big team he led. Where were these found, in Ethiopia. The later hominds, in the early period are the Australopithecines (4-1 mya) where they lost there honing, and became more committed to the ground. The Anamensis (4 mya), the Afarensis (3.6 - 3 mya) the famous one being Lucy. On average the Afrensis were aobut 5 ft tall. Lucy was 3 1/2. The Afrensis are a combination of arboreal, but much more bipedal. Kenyanthropus Platyops, and finally the Garhi. The question is which ones are in the human lineage. asapEvolutionary microbiologists developed a theory about a common ancestor for all eukaryotic cells. Below is a model of the theorized changes during the origin of eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotes are not capable of phagocytosis, or engulfing outside particles by creating a pocket in the cell membrane. Engulfing of photosynthetic Photosynthetic prokaryote eukaryote Infolding of plasma membrane Prokaryote Engulfing of aerobic heterotrophic prokaryote Heterotrophic eukaryote Which of the following changes in early prokaryotes could be predicted to result in the emergence of eukaryotic organisms? the development of genetic transfer mechanisms in prokaryotes the evolution of predatory or parasitic relationships in prokaryotes the emergence of collections of cells functioning together in prokaryotes the expansion of internal structures to support larger individual cells in prokaryotes Time
