Question

73. Evolution is a very complicated process that doesn’t just happen overnight. All of the life alive today started off somewhere and it took a very long complicated process to get to where they are now and humans are no exception. Which of the following statements is NOT true regarding the evolution of humans or homo sapiens? a. The first hominin is suspected to have lived 4.0 to 2.9 million years ago, originating in Africa. b. Human evolution proceeded from one species to the next, meaning when one species evolved, the previous died soon after. c. Bipedalism (moving with the two rear limbs) was one of the earliest key human characteristics. d. Homo habilis was the ancestor that first started to use tools e. Homo sapiens are the current human species with the largest brain 74. When most of us were little we were taught a simplified version of evolution and how we as humans came to be. A very famous line that is taught is that “Humans evolved from chimps,” and we grew up believing it. Now as we get older, we learn that what we may have been taught in elementary school may or may not be true including this line. Is the statement true or false and explain why? a. False: Humans don’t actually evolve from chimps, we evolved from orangutans b. True: Everything that we learn from school is true, there would be no reason to lie to little kids c. False: Humans share a common ancestor with chimps but we are an evolutionary product of hominins d. True: Chimps are where the hominins stem from which eventually led to the evolution of Homo sapiens e. False: Humans didn’t go through an evolutionary process. 75. Why are Homo sapiens the only species of hominin left on earth? a. The other species did not evolve quickly enough. b. They were mostly killed by the same meteor that killed the dinosaurs. c. There were never any other hominins besides Homo sapiens. d. Homo sapiens are the result of inbreeding among the rest of the hominins. e. Homo sapiens are arguably the most violent species to ever inhabit the earth.
