ANTH 100A : ANTH 225 Full Notes for the Course
Document Summary
Hunting sites (cid:223) controversial: hunting vs confrontational scavenging (chasing off carnivore that killed the animal to get the food) vs passive scavenging (cid:223) probably doing a little bit of everything, definite evidence for scavenging: carnivore teeth marks are different than stone tool marks finding cut marks overtop of tooth marks = carnivore got there first, don"t necessarily need tools to hunt, especially small mammals. Africa sites: east africa (earliest 1. 8 mya female because it was more gracile with 848 cc), most date to 1. 6 1. 4 mya, latest fossil 1 mya: oh9: 1. 4 mya in tanzania, very robust, largest brow ridges of any known hominid fossil ever, 1067 cc (largest of all african erectus, nariokotome boy: 1. 6 mya in kenya, 90% complete skeleton, male, 12 years old, 168 cm, modern hip morphology (narrow), 880 cc, daka: 1 mya in ethiopia, skull vault and post cranial remains, change in african specimens to look more like asian specimens.
