Also, you can illuminate your answers with illustrations drawings, diagrams, photos, prints, etc. on UP TO FOUR additional 8%" x 11" sheets of paper. 1. Explain what scientists have discovered regarding the major adaptations associated with each of the following transformational stages or "steps" in our evolutionary history. (refer to lecture and video notes, course texts, handouts, "Your Inner Fish" video series, and online resources to complete this assignment) Earliest Hominins (from the Late Miocene and Early Pliocene - 4.0 to 6 or 7 Mya) probable hominins (like Sahelanthropus tchadensis, Ardipithecus ramidus) Early hominins of the Australopithecus group (like Australopithecus afarensis, Kenyanthropus platyops, Au. garhi, Au. africanus, Au. sediba, Paranthropus robustus, Paranthropus bolsel) Earliest members of the genus Homo (like Homo habilis, Homo rudolfensis) Early hunting and gathering hominins (like Homo ergaster, Homo erectus) Hunting and gathering hominins that controlled fire (like Homo heidelbergensis) Compare (describe, illustrate, explain) what scientists have discovered and/or inferred regarding the distinctive biological and cultural attributes and probable lifeways of Neanderthals and of early modern Homo sapiens when the two kinds of hominin cohabited Europe (around 40-45,000 years ago). Neanderthals Early Modern Homo sapiens What are modern humans adapted for? Handwrite all parts of answer in the space provided. You may continue on the back of each page if necessary Also, you can illuminate your answers with additional handwritten text, illustrations drawings, diagrams, photos, and prints on BOTH sides of up to FOUR additional 8%" x 11" sheets of paper. Make sure all are clearly labelled. MODERN HUMANS: Illuminate investigate, drawidiagram/print, label, and describe) the evolutionary history and adaptive significance of each of the following deep adaptations, adaptive patterns that MODERN HUMANS (Homo sapiens) have inherited from their deep evolutionary past. Olfactory system (nostrils, turbinal bones, olfactory region of brain, etc.) Auditory (Hearing) System (pinnae, ear tube, ear drum, ear ossicles, cochlea, auditory regions of brain, speech centers including Broca's (speaking, writing, tool making) and Wernicke's areas {understanding language) etc.) Visual System (eyes: pupil, lense, retina, rod and cone cells, retinal fovea for trichromatic color and precision vision) ALSO: boney orbital capsules, overlapping visual fields for depth perception, etc. Human Brain (cerebral hemispheres with frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital lobes, cerebellum, brain stem) com... food processing system (jaws, jaw muscles, dentition including incisors, canines, pre-molars, molars, plus li tongue, cheeks, and the sensory and motor cortexes involved with these parts of the body) Front Limb adaptations (shoulder girdle, arm, and fine motor and power gripping capability of the hand) Hind limb adaptations (vertebrae, pelvis, leg, and foot adaptations for distance striding and running bipedalit Dermal (skin) adaptations (body hair, pigmentation, sweat glands, subsurface capillaries, subcutaneous fat, Taking into account what you have learned about human evolutionary patterns, develop a list of specific ways that we (modern humans living in 2018) can adjust our own personal behavioral patterns and lifeways (diet, exercise, sleep, leisure time activities, etc.) to put our bodies and minds in better accord with what evolutionary anthropologists have discovered regarding our deep evolutionary heritage. See particularly Lieberman's The Story of the Human Body. DIET SLEEP EXERCISE LIESURE-TIME ACTIVITIES OTHER PHYSICAL AND/OR MENTAL "WELLNESS" SUGGESTIONS OR STRATEGIES
