The reason due to which it is important to recognize that humans do not share all the characteristics with other animals.
Introduction:
The theory of biology that explains variations among plants, animals, humans, and other living things present on Earth is called evolution. It is one of the primary keys of modern biology theory.

- Evolution tends to let animals bigger or smaller?arrow_forwardWhat characteristics do primates and rodents have in common? Which group of animals are birds more closely related to? Reptiles or Rodents? What do amphibians,reptiles,birds,rodents and primates have in common? What characteristics is unique only to birds and reptiles? Fish and primates have a common ancestor. What characteristics does this ancestor have?arrow_forwardFor this activity, you should familiarize the diverse group of vertebrates and make a phylogenetic tree showing their evolutionary relationships. This tree should be primarily based on physical characteristics, such as: I. Presence or absence of a backbone II. Ability to breathe in air or water III. Cold or warm blooded IV. Carnivore, herbivore, or omnivore V. Presence or absence of hair/fur VI. Any other external structure such as horns TO DO: Lay all the animals on their desks and separate them into two groups using the physical characteristics above☝ The animals are on the picture.arrow_forward
- How can we understand the evolutionary relationships among animals, and how, in turn,can we understand the biological traits that have given rise to such great diversity on a few branches of the animal tree of life?arrow_forwardWhat is the relationship of evolution and human behavior?arrow_forwardHumans as individuals have a number of disadvantages compared to other animals. For instance we are not very fast, strong, cannot see well in the dark, have a poor sense of smell and hearing compared to other animals, and we are not very good climbers. With all of these disadvantages how is it that we have been so successful? Shouldn't we have gone extinct as other humanoids such as Homo erectus? Discuss why humans have beaten the odds and are so successful.arrow_forward
- What is evolution and described in brief?arrow_forwardDefine 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.arrow_forwardName four features that together contribute to our uniqueness and define us as human.arrow_forward
- On the back of the human skull, there is a small bump, below which is an opening where the spinal cord enters the skull. Which of the following statements provides the best evolutionary explanation for the location of the opening near the base of the skull? It is associated with the change to a bipedal stance. It provided greater protection for the spinal cord. It allowed for the hominin brain to grow much larger than other primates. This change was necessary for the increase in size from prosimian forms to anthropoid forms.arrow_forwardBergman's and Allen's rules apply to many animals, not just humans. Look at the following images of two different hare species. Based on what you can see in the images and using only Bergmann's Rule and Allen's Rule, which of these hares is adapted for a cold climate and which is adapted for a hot climate? What adaptations do they have to suit their environments? Do humans living in similar environments share the same adaptations? Remember, you must use Bergman's and Allen's rules in your analysis, so be sure you know these rules and refer to them.arrow_forwardPrimatology is part of anthropology because: Group of answer choices A: They can help us understand behaviors of hominins, which are ancestral to humans B: All of these answers are true C: There was nowhere else to put them D: They represent what we used to be before we evolved E: They are our closest living relativesarrow_forward
