  1. This is Jeopardy Human Evolution

  2. Final Jeopardy

  3. C1-100-The answer is… What two characteristics are common to all primates? Binocular vision and movable fingers and toes Back

  4. C1-200-The answer is… Why was the discovery of Lucy so important? Showed that bipedalism came before a large brain Back

  5. C1-300-The answer is… Name three prosimian primates Lemurs, lorises, tarsiers Back

  6. C1-400-The answer is… What one thing do scientists look at on a fossil to determine whether it is a hominid? If the bones indicate bipedalism Back

  7. C1-500-The answer is… Which hominid species had the most sophisticated tools? Homo sapiens Back

  8. C2-100-The answer is… The earliest evidence of modern Homo sapiens came from sites in Africa Back

  9. C2-200-The answer is… Were all australopithecines bipedal? yes Back

  10. C2-300-The answer is… Do modern humans belong to the same genus as the australopithecines? No – modern humans belong to the genus homo Back

  11. C2-400-The answer is… Where did Neanderthals live? Europe – mainly in the area of France Back

  12. C2-500-The answer is… Why were the finger drawings in the caves in Australia significant? They demonstrated the ability to think abstractly Back

  13. C3-100-The answer is… The oldest hominid fossils dated to 4.5 million years ago are known as? Ardipithecus Ramidus Back

  14. C3-200-The answer is… What was Homo habilis known for? Making tools Back

  15. C3-300-The answer is… What does Prehensile mean? The ability to grasp Back

  16. C3-400-The answer is… What was the purpose of the sagittal crest? To attach big jaw muscles Back

  17. C3-500-The answer is… What information can you get from fossilized skull fragments? Size of brain, whether they had a brow ridge or sagittal crest. Back

  18. C4-100-The answer is… What information can you get from fossilized teeth? Diet, wear patterns can tell you about other activity (animal skins), what the environment was like from their diet Back

  19. C4-200-The answer is… What are three characteristics unique to anthropoid primates? Well developed collar bones Rotating shoulder joints Opposable thumb Similar dental formula Large brain to body size Back

  20. C4-300-The answer is… Name anatomical features that support bipedalism. Cup shaped pelvis S-shaped spine Foramen magnum at bottom of skull Short aligned toes Stiff knee below body Back

  21. C4-400-The answer is… What are the advantages of being a biped? Use of hands for carrying children and food, for protection, for feeding, for play or gesture Less heat loss Able to travel farther – more efficient locomotion Back

  22. C4-500-The answer is… How did bipedalism increase fitness? Able to eat more efficiently with hands Better able to take care of/protect young Able to see farther for food or predators Back

  23. C5-100-The answer is… Summarize the multiregional hypothesis. Modern humans evolved in parallel worldwide from Homo erectus – must have gene flow between populations Back

  24. C5-200-The answer is… Explain the African origin hypothesis Modern humans originated in Africa 100,000 – 200,000 years ago and then migrated into the rest of the world. Back

  25. C5-300-The answer is… When it comes to hominids, what is the relationship between body size and brain size? Direct proportion – bigger body = bigger brain Back

  26. C5-400-The answer is… Compare the skull of a human with that of a gorilla. Gorilla: brow ridge, prognathic face, foramen magnum at back of skull, sagittal crest, u-shaped jaw Human: small face, no brow ridge, flat face under skull, V-shaped jaw, foramen magnum at bottom, no sagittal crest *Both have similar dental formula Back

  27. C6-500-The answer is… How were Neanderthals different from Cro-Magnon’s? Neanderthals had heavy bones, thick brow ridges, large protruding teeth, shorter but very heavily built Back

  28. Final Jeopardy What was the final theory in the Neanderthal movie? What evidence do scientists have to support it? What evidence disputes it? • 1. Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon interbred • Skeleton of 4 yr. old boy found that dates 3000 years after Neanderthal. Skull similar to Cro-Magnon but skeleton similar to Neanderthal • Dispute: there is no DNA evidence of Neanderthal genes in our sequences. Back End Game
