Terms/Concepts to Define: Ardipithecus Prosimian Anthropoids Hominids Foramen magnum Simians Bipedal Can you answer these questions? There are of humans with different physical and many different “races” physiological features. Using what you know about evolution how could these differences have developed? How could scientists have determined that Ardi lived 4.4 MYA? Draw a diagram of the phylogeny of the great apes. List 3 characteristics that humans share with the prosimians. Name 3 anatomical changes that occurred when humans became bipedal. Why should we expect that the position of the foramen magnum will tell us if a mammal is 4-legged or 2-legged? Draw a graph showing the relationship between brain size and body weight in primates and indicate where humans fall on this scale. Draw a cladogram showing the relationships of these organisms: H. neanderthalensis, H. habilis, H. sapiens, H. erectus, A. afarensis and Ard.
