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
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.
E.
Brown 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…

The cladogram currently shows humans and chimpanzees with a more recent common ancestor compared to gorillas. Which piece of evidence, if true, would most likely weaken this hypothesis? Amino acid analysis of the cytochrome shows significant differences in the sequence of amino acids between humans and goriffas. DNA sequence analysis of the hemoglobin alpha gene shows that humans and chimpanzees have a more similar sequence to each other than they do to the gorilla's DNA sequence. The cells of the eye in embryos of gorillas and humans follow a similar pattern of development chimpanzee embryos are different Fossils of humans appear in deeper sedimentary rock layers compared to fossils of chimpanzees.arrow_forward
