Document Summary

Bipedalism class activity (cid:120) be able to describe and evaluate two hypotheses discussed in the class activity for the origins of bipedalism. The earliest hominins-in chronological order (cid:120) chimps and humans split 8-10 million years ago, then hominins appeared (cid:120) primitive(ancestral) versus derived traits (cid:120) sahelanthropus tchadensis (cid:120) orrorin tugenensis (cid:120) ardipithecus kadaba (cid:120) ardipithecus ramidus. Become extinct-why: au. africanus, au. robustus, au. sediba, au. aethiopicus, au. boisei. Anatomically modern humans (cid:120) coexisted with neanderthals (cid:120) unique cranial feature? (cid:120) be able to evaluate the three models for human dispersal: out of africa, multiregional continuity, assimilation (cid:120) denisovans. Dispersal of modern humans and behavioral modernity (cid:120) homo floresiensis: found in context with stone tools, share similarities to modern populations nearby (cid:120) evidence linking east asians and native americans? (cid:120) Evolution today and tomorrow (cid:120) consequences of global warming that will affect humans and their environment (cid:120) consequences of overpopulation (cid:120) changes in health, nutrition and disease/infection.
