Question

Australopithecus africanus, Sts 5 Homo sapiens, Upper Cave 101 1. Are there any other differences that help you differentiate these hominin skulls? Consider only anatomical differences, not alternations such as discoloration, fractures, missing teeth. 2. Choose one trait that varies from your observations. Propose how evolutionary forces (natural / sexual selection, drift, mutation, migration) could explain this difference.

Step 1

Step 1: The anatomical differences between Australopithecus africanus (Sts 5) and Homo sapiens (Upper Cave 101) skulls include a greater cranial capacity in Australopithecus africanus (1350 cc) compared to Homo sapiens (990 cc), a more pronounced prognathism in Show more…
