Australopithecus afarensis Younger than Paranthropus robustus and Australopithecus africanus Flag this Question Question 3 1 pts Habitat reduction on Earth is the direct result of The need for building materials The need for agricultural land The increase in human populations All of the above Both The need for building materials and The increase in human populations Flag this Question Question 4 1 pts Homo Erectus and Neandertls had skulls that were, typically, Long and flat (platycephalic) High and wide Rounded, like modern humans Unusually square shaped Pointed and rather alien looking Flag this Question Question 5 1 pts The overwhelming consensus among climate scientists points directly to “human-driven” global change, especially due to Induced photosynthesis Production of fluorocarbons Burning of fossil fuels Lack of emission regulations High number of clunkers on the streets Flag this Question Question 6 1 pts There is some evidence to suggest that Neandertals Were compassionate Buried their dead Were capable of symbolic behavior All of these Both Were compassionate and Buried their dead Flag this Question Question 7 1 pts The back of a typical Homo erectus skull has a(n) Nuchal torus, or angular occipital Nuchal bun, or a long, open bun shaped growth Occipital plateau, or flat occipital Occipital bun, or rounded occipital A modern, rounded, skull Flag this Question Question 8 1 pts Humans, as mammals, stop producing the enzyme lactase and become lactose intolerant At birth Around 3 years of age During adolescence Around 21 years of age By the time they reach 50 Flag this Question Question 9 1 pts Which of these is/are characteristics of the arboreal adaptation related to erect posture Tactile pads enriched with sensory nerve fibers Prehensile hand (and feet) The Scapula (shoulder blade) rotated onto the back All of the above Both Tactile pads enriched with sensory nerve fibers and The Scapula (shoulder blade) rotated onto the back Flag this Question Question 10 1 pts While an epidemic is a disease that affects a disproportionately large number of people within a population or region, at the same time, a pandemic is a disease that Kills more people than an epidemic Kills less people than an epidemic Is new, requiring new types of antibiotics Affects people over a wide geographic area, often globally Is always fatal Flag this Question Question 11 1 pts According to the Complete Replacement Model, anatomically modern Homo sapiens first appeared in Africa And dispersed to Europe where they interbred with local pre-modern H. sapiens populations And migrated to other areas completely displacing all pre-modern H. sapiens populations without interbreeding with them Remained there while pre-modern populations elsewhere evolved more slowly Around 500,000 years ago Both And migrated to other areas completely displacing all pre-modern H. sapiens populations without interbreeding with them and Around 500,000 years ago Flag this Question Question 12 1 pts Ardipithcus ramidus has fossil dates of 1.3 my 2.5 my 3.2 my 4.4 my 6.4 my Flag this Question Question 13 1 pts Australopithecus afarensis (Lucy), is known for its Primitive teeth with pointed canines/diastema combined with the body of a biped Ability to run fast Cranial capacity which is larger than modern humans Opposable toes on its feet Tall, yet stocky, body Flag this Question Question 14 1 pts Bipedalism is an advantage because A biped can get a wider view of the surroundings and can easily carry objects in its hands It is a form of locomotion that increases the speed of the animal The feet become specialized and can be used to make tools Greater distances can be covered quickly Bipedalism is easier on one’s back than quadrupedalism Flag this Question Question 15 1 pts The typical Homo erectus brow was Modern looking, with hardly any brow Large, double arched brow ridges Large, with straight brow ridges (supraorbital bar) A medium brow Non-existent, there were no brow ridges Flag this Question Question 16 1 pts Upper Paleolithic cave paintings Are found in both China and South Africa Were painted mostly after the last glacial maximum ended May have served as “encoded information” passed from generation to generation All of these Both Are found in both China and South Africa and May have served as “encoded information” passed from generation to generation Flag this Question Question 17 1 pts Bipeds are recognized by Their dentition, which includes a curved dental arch and modern teeth The placement of the foramen magnum and shape of their pelvis The length of their legs relative to the length of their feet The shape of their feet and their hands Their diet Flag this Question Question 18 1 pts Dark skin is advantageous in the tropics because it Protects from overexposure to ultraviolet radiation Protects from frostbite Increases the skin’s exposure to ultraviolet radiation Promotes vitamin D synthesis Helps prevent rickets Flag this Question Question 19 1 pts Grave goods and the position of Neandertal burials indicates that they may have Had symbolic behavior Practiced rituals Practiced burial rights, vs. just digging a hole to place the body All of the above Both Practiced rituals and Practiced burial rights, vs. just digging a hole to place the body Flag this Question Question 20 1 pts
