shorter
longer
more robust

Australopithecus afarensis
all of these
the fossil skeleton known as âLucyâ belongs to this species
is found in southern and eastern Africa
is the largest well-studied collection of early hominins
The earliest primates are found in which epoch?

False
True
If an isotope has a half-life of 4 billion years, then in 4 billion years what will happen?
all of the original amount will have decayed
half of the original amount will still be present
a quarter of the original amount will still be present

Biostratigraphy is a type of relative dating technique.
True
False
Which dating technique could you use to get an estimated age in years from a bone that is known to be less than 40,000 years old?
Carbon-14
flourine
potassium/argon
thermoluminescence
"John is two years older than Joe." This statement is an example of
a chronometric comparison
a theory
an absolute date
a relative date
The task of interpreting early hominin evolution
is still not complete
is best left to geologists
rarely replies on assigning taxonomic names to fossil material
does not require a chronological framework
