Textbook Question
Chapter 51, Problem 5TYU
Although many chimpanzees live in environments with oil palm nuts, members of only a few populations use stones to crack open the nuts. The likely explanation is that
(A) the behavioral difference is caused by genetic differences between populations.
(B) members of different populations have different nutritional requirements.
(C) the cultural tradition of using stones to crack nuts has arisen in only some populations.
(D) members of different populations differ in learning ability.

The decrease in cortical robusticity associated with the appearance of modern humans was rapid and dramatic and resulted in more lightly constructed skeletons. b.) The increase in cortical robusticity associated with the appearance of modern humans was gradual and resulted in larger brain size coupled with a greater ability to deal with predators l. c.) The decrease in cortical robusticity associated with the appearance of archaic Homo sapiens is a part of a long term trend beginning with australopithecines and ending with modern Homo sapiens. d.) None if these statements are an appropriate hypothesis for changes seen in cortical robusticity.arrow_forwardWhat adaptive benefit do the three middle ear bones afford mammals? A) These bones helped to improve chewing, allow ancient mammals to diversify their diet.
