?? 381 ?

Current scientific consensus on the origins of monkeys in South America is that they were transported to the Americas as pets of human explorers from hundreds of years ago.

?????

?? 391 ?

Aegyptopithecus

?????

?? 401 ?

A cooling and drying trend in Central East Africa during the late Miocene Epoch resulted in

?????

?? 411 ?

The foramen magnum of a bipedal hominin is

?????

?? 421 ?

Mosaic evolution is a term used to understand that different aspects of bipedalism evolved at different times (not all at once).

?????

?? 431 ?

An adaptive advantage of bipedalism is that it allows hominins to run much faster than quadrupedal carnivores (like lions).

?????

?? 441 ?

If an unidentified primate skull has a large CP3 honing complex, this is usually a sign that the primate is not a hominin.

?????

?? 451 ?

Sahelanthropus tchadensis is represented by several skulls and post-cranial fossils from at least five different individuals.

?????

?? 461 ?

Ardipithecus ramidus “Ardi” had a somewhat angled femur and bowl-shaped pelvis, which indicates that she had some bipedal ability.

?????

?? 471 ?

The female Australopithecus afarensis “Lucy”

?????

?? 481 ?

The Taung child specimen

?????

?? 491 ?

Australopithecus sediba

Paranthropus boisei appears to have eaten fibrous foods that were difficult to process, based on examination of their very large molar teeth and large jaw muscle attachment points.

True

Explanation / Answer

381

Flase

Because they transportad from Africa

391

had a derived dental formula of 2.1.2.3 on both the upper and lower jaws

401

no effect on Ape species but drastically reduced the number of Monkey species in Central East Africa

because extinct genus of primates found as fossils in Late Miocene deposits in East Africa

411

located near the center of the bottom of the cranium

because Allows head to remain balanced over body

421

True

Because A pattern of evolution in which the rate of evolution in one functional system varies from that in other systems.

431

False

Because of endurance running hypothesis

441

FALSE

BECAUSE CP3 honing complex hominins tend to have somewhat smaller anterior teeth than such primates

451

FALSE

BECAUSE THEY WALKED WITH TWO LEGS , SO NO POST CRANIAL REMAINS HAVE BEEN SEEN

461

TRUE

BECAUSE She has an opposable big toe, but rIgid, human-like foot shape and bowl shaped pelvis which suggests she was likely an obligatory biped.

471

was an early gracile hominin found in Central East Africa, dated to over 3 million years ago.

Because fossil was later dated at more than three million years old—much older than other hominin fossils known at the time.

481
is an early Australopithecus africanus recognized by Raymond Dart

because it have projecting face, small canines ,post orbital constriction

491

is evidence that gracile hominins lived in South Africa as late as 2 million years ago

because australopithecines that were distinguished for the unique Paranthropus variety. It include Australopithecus sediba

501

TRUE

BECAUSE is characterized by a specialized skull with adaptations for heavy chewing
