Select the taxon that MOST CLOSELY applies to each of the statements below regarding anthropoids. Each term may be used once or not at all. - Hominin genus with small head and oval birth canal. - Species with a brain mass approximately three times larger than that of other extant hominins. - Species that comparative genomics suggests hybridized with Homo sapiens. - Small-statured species found in Indonesia up to about 50,000 years ago. - Genus conjectured by some to have been responsible for the Yeti myth in southeast Asia. a. Homo neanderthalensis b. Homo c. Homo floresiensis d. Homo erectus e. Aegyptopithecus f. Proconsul g. Ardipithecus ramidus h. Australopithecus i. Homo sapiens j. Gigantopithecus k.

33/ Which hominin species best fits this description: 1000cc brain size, alveolar prognathism, sagittal ridge, shelf-like supraorbital torus, appeared 1.6-1.7 million ago, invented Acheulian handaxes, found first in Africa, and then in Asia and maybe in Europe? A/ Paranthropus boisei B/ Australopithecus afarensis C/ Homo erectus D/ Homo ergaster 34/ An anatomical feature that you might take advantage of as you write this exam is: A/ expanded apical tufts. B/ an occipital bun. C/ a sagittal crest. D/ ischial callosities. 35/ Intermembral Index refers to the: A/ ratio of leg length to total body length. B/ ratio of brain volume to body mass. C/ ratio of tibia length to femur length. D/ ratio of arm length to leg length.
