Q

Neandertals cold adaptations

A

shorter, stalkier, large nasal aperture to warm and moisten air and large infraorbital foramina for increased blood flow to face, reducing risk of hypothermia and frostbite

Q

Neandertals were effective

A

hunters with evidence of effective hunting, not malnourished by observing calculus on teeth

17
Q

Neandertals have hyoid bones so they can

A

speak

18
Q

Handedness in Neandertals

A

observed by looking at how food entered mouth by looking at scrape directions on teeth

19
Q

Brain laterality

A

Opposite hemisphere controls side body motions
L brain hemisphere controls areas associated with speech and language
scratches on teeth show handedness

20
Q

Symbols

A

Necklaces of perforated shells, stained with colored pigments
Body pigments/paints (Iberian Peninsula)

21
Q

Chauvet Cave Art

A

shows extinct animals
idea of representing motion
stone tools show level of fine skills

22
Q

Bone injuries are as bad as those of

A

bull riders

23
Q

Sites of Earlier humans

A

Aduma, Bouri, Herto, and Omo, Ethiopia

24
Q

Klasies River Mouth Cave

A

very early human jaw bone

25
Q

Modern Homo sapiens Anatomical features

A 
high forehead, round skull, with reduced face and teeth
large cranial capacities
chin gracile
gracile post cranial skeleton
some robusticity
26
Q

Skhul V shows

A

Cohabitation of modern Homo sapiens and Neandertals

prominent, robust brow ridges, retains projecting face and flaring zygomatic, less than archaics

27
Q

Homo Florensiensis

A

much smaller human, not Sapien, but still Homo

28
Q

Dolni Vestonice and Cro-Magnon show

A

combo of Neandertal and H. Sapiens: long narrow skull, prominent occipital buns, narrow nasal, high forehead

29
Q

Gobero Crania

A

modern human
skull robusticity not eliminated entirely
diet dependent

30
Q

Lagar Velho

A

Neandertal like robusticity in limb bones and some cranial aspects with modern features

31
Q

4 Scenarios for Neandertal Genetic Admixture

A
  1. gene flow into Neandertal from other Archaic hominids collectively referred to as Homo Erectus
  2. gene flow between late Neandertals and early modern humans in Europe and/or Western Asia
  3. gene flow between Neandertals and the ancestors of all non-Africans
  4. old substructure in Africa persisting from the origin of Neandertals until ancestors of non-africans left Africa
32
Q

Microcephaly

A

a condition in which the cranium is abnormally small and the brain is underdeveloped.

33
Q

shovel-shaped incisors

A

incisors posterior aspect has varying degrees of concavity

34
Q

Paleoindians

A

the earliest hominin inhabitants with Clovis and Folsom stone cultures

35
Q

clovis

A

large, fluted, bifacial stone projectile points used as spear points

36
Q

folsom

A

large, fluted, bifacial projectile points used as spear points for big game hunting
