A

The State

15
Q

What are arguments used to explain the origins of domestication?

A

Migrating into new environments

Population growth

Long distance trade

16
Q

What are the differences between chronometric and relative dating methods?

A

Relative dating methods reveal the order of a sequence of found objects, materials, or events found within a site. Discovereing which is older/newer.

While Chronometric dates the actual age in the number of years of said items, materials, events, etc, found at the site.`

16
Q

What is the importance of the grid system in archaeology?

A

It serves as a way of mapping the entire site, by divvying up the larger site into smaller areas.

17
Q

What evidence is used to determine if fossil species were bipedal?

A

If the fossils provide long bones

If it has a Foramen Magnum (Hole at bottom of skull, connecting spinal cord to brain)

The Pelivs/Hip Bone will be shorter but wider and a lot thicker

Finding a Femur is a good sign of Bipedalism, as the femur makes it effortless for us to stand up right.

18
Q

Hold at bottom of skull where spinal chord is attached to brain

A

Foramen Magnum

19
Q

What and Who are the Protohominins?

A

Early Hominins

Sarchelanthropus Tchadensis
Orrorin Tugensis
Ardipithecus Ramidus

20
Q

What are the general characteristics of Protohominins?

A

Small Brain, Mostly apelike characteristics, Possibly Bipedal, Lived in forested environments

21
Q

Oldest Stone Tools

A

Dikika
Lomoekwi
Nyayanga

22
Q

What are the theories on what happened to Neanderthals?

A

Out Of Africa Hypothesis
- Modern humans migrate out of Africa and replace all archaic hominids

Partial Replacement Model
- Modern humans interbreed with other archaic hominids, but some are replaced

Multi-Regional Hypothesis
-All archaic hominids evolve into modern humans through gene flow
