What is a primate? a) Describe the three clusters of traits that define primates: Arboreal adaptations, dietary plasticity, and parental investment. b) What are the key features of strepsirrhines, and what broad types of primates are considered strepsirrhines? c) What are the key features of haplorrhines, and what broad types of primates are considered haplorrhines? Early hominin origins & evolution: a) Briefly describe Sahelanthropus tchadensis and Orrorin tugenensis. Include brain size, how we know they were bipedal, and their environments. b) Briefly describe Australopithecus afarensis. What do we know about its size, body proportions, way of life, and environment? What evidence do we have that afarensis was bipedal? c) As we trace human evolution from the above species to the first appearance of genus Homo, what are the general physical trends/changes we see?

1. In what ways are humans different from other primates? (include both behavioral and anatomical differences) 2. From your discussion of the differences, what do you consider the most important characteristic or set of characteristics that sets humans apart from other primates? Why? Explain your reasoning. Answer in 15-20 sentences

As we discussed, plesiadapiforms were initially interpreted as being the first primates. They were then interpreted as being outside the direct primate lineage because they lacked many of the key traits that define the primate order. This debate continues today. Given what you know about the defining traits found in most living primates, describe four traits you think should be found in the earliest primates. What advantages would these traits have provided the first primates? Are any of these traits found in plesiadapiforms? (Use resources in your classroom, credible online sources, or books to help you.)

00:02 Hello there.
00:03 I see you have a list of questions.
00:05 So we're going to go over them.
00:07 So the first one, what is a primate? a primate is a member of a group of mammals or uterine mammals, which, where they have relatively large, there are relatively large and have complex brains.
00:27 And they want us to describe the three clusters of traits that define primates.
00:34 So our araboral adaptations, aid in living or moving through trees, dietary plasticity, which is eating a wide variety of foods, and parental infestment, which is where the female primates infest heavily, both prenatal, and postnatal in the care and feeding of infants.
01:02 The next one is what are the key features of strepherst and what broad types of primates are considered strepherence.
01:20 Sorry i butchered that name.
01:23 Well, they are medium -sized, rounded brand case, relatively large eyesawkins, rocket, a forward directed orbit of binocular fissions, and a complete bony bar, the outer margin of the orbit to support the outer edge of the eye, and the broad spectrum of species that fit into that will be your lemurs, your aas, your i -i's, or a -a's, lories, and go legos the next one they want to know what the key features of are haplor rhymes and the broad types of primates that are considered hyperloraeis sorry i am butchering them the names but their brains are larger than the direct server run sorry i am butchering it flattened faces with forward face facing eyes increasing reliance reliance on fishing and decreasing reliance on smells and the animals that fall into those categories would be your tarasines old and new world monkeys apes and humans the next one they want to know about early hominids origins and evolution so they were the first humans who involved in africa and much of the human evolution occurred i mean occurred on that continent the next one briefly described saheltharthurpos chatiness and orangogenesis sorry i am butchering those names so for the first one that they are one the oldest known species of human ancestor that after the split of the human line from the chimpanzees that they were upright walkers and survived in diverse habitat in the other one is sorry out that hurt um is one the oldest early humans approximately the size of a chimpanzee and had small teeth with thick enamel bipedal locomotion, large brain, erect posture, behavior characteristics like communication and using tools they lived in the environment they lived in dry evergreen forest environments.
04:26 The next one, they want to know, they want to describe the australopithecus afraranus...
