Chapter 34, Problem 15TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Modern human beings that are living on the earth are Homo sapiens. Millions of years ago Homo sapiens evolved in Africa. For the identification of the origin of Homo sapiens, many studies on human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and chromosomal nuclear DNA have supported.

B. Is overwhelmingly similar to the modern human genome.

- According to "Homo naledi – New Questions on Human Evolution ", why was it significant that the bones were found to be articulated (their bones hadn’t separated from each other)? A.The individuals arrived in the cave either alive or shortly after the died. B.The individuals had decomposed outside of the cave, and other Homo naledi individuals put their skeletons together inside the cave. C.The bodies must have been placed in bags or coffins to keep the skeleton together as the body degraded. D.None of these are correctarrow_forwardChoose 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.

- Fossils of a dwarf species of human, Homo floresiensis, has been discovered on the Indonesian island of Flores. There has been debate as to who are the immediate ancestors. New fossils have just been discovered and dated at 700,000 years ago. This strongly suggests that their immediate ancestors are A. Homo habilis B. Homo neanderthalensis C. Ardipithecus D. Homo sapiens E. Homo erectusarrow_forwardAccording to "Our Earliest Ancestors", why can’t scientists just do DNA analysis on these fossil hominins to determine if they are a separate species and possibly what species they belong to? A.The technology for extracting DNA from fossils hasn't been developed yet. B.Scientists can't perform DNA analysis on fossil hominins because the fossils have been contaminated with modern human DNA over the years, making it impossible to isolate the ancient genetic material. C.The fossils would need to be in a -5 degree Celsius environment to prevent DNA from degrading D.The DNA of fossil hominins is too similar to modern humans, making it difficult to distinguish between them.arrow_forwardAccording to "Homo naledi – New Questions on Human Evolution ", what ARE possible explanations for how these individuals got into the cave? A.There was a massacre B.The Homo naledi individuals lived in the cave and died there C.The bodies were deliberately disposed in the cave by other Homo naledi individuals or other hominins D.The Homo naledi individuals went into the cave to hunt animalsarrow_forward
