1) Graeber and Wengrow argue that the development of social realities like agriculture and technology do not necessarily produce inequality. How do they show that this is true? Give two pieces of evidence they offer. 2) Give 5 characteristics of the cranial and facial morphology of Homo sapiens sapiens that are distinct—unlike what we see in Upper Paleolithic Neanderthals or Middle Paleolithic Homo heidelbergensis. 3) We have seen many examples of biocultural evolution, in which our biology as humans has been shaped by our cultural pasts. Give one example of biocultural evolution that shows how our biology was shaped by a choice or tradition made by humans. 4) There are two basic models of evolutionary change about the rate at which evolution takes place: gradualism and punctuated equilibrium. 5) How many times more is the per-person average usage of CO2 in the US than in France?

Step 1
They point out that in some cases, the introduction of agriculture allowed for a more diverse diet and reduced the risk of famine, leading to a more equal distribution of resources among the population. Show more…

1. which of the following is NOT a reason why we say that human races do not exist on a biological level? . recognizing race leads to social inequalities . our species is very genetically homogenous . because of culture we all share a similar basic environment 2. which of the following skeletal features are common to all primates? . clavicle . bowl-shaped pelvis . high domed forehead 1. How is the location of the vocal tract of homo sapiens different from that of chimpanzees? explain the difference. 2. does the fact that modern Africans have the greatest diversity of all human populations in their mitochondrial DNA support the multiregional hypothesis or African replacement model (RAO)? why?

Physical Anthropologists have defined two ancestral species that represent a direct evolutionary line to Homo sapiens. One is Australopithecus and the other is Homo erectus. Contrast and compare the two species with regard to physical characteristics including physical size and brain capacity. During what basic time periods did these species live? Where did they live? What was their preferred habitat? What did they eat? What differentiated their foraging strategies? What types of tools did they produce and what were these primarily used for? Discuss the primary characteristics that contributed to the evolution of the genus Homo including environment between roughly 2 million and 1 million years ago. What were some of the competing species. Summarize the primary physiological developments that occurred? What advantages did each physiological development contribute to the species ability to adapt to increasingly variable environments and how?

A revolution in the study of human evolution is under way due to the invention of techniques that enable DNA sequencing not only of modern humans but also of ancient humans (introduced in Chapter 20 ). Human populations today are not considered separate species under the biological species, morphospecies, and phylogenetic concepts. Explain what kind of evidence supports this statement.
