ANTA01H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Collagen, Australopithecine, Swartkrans
Document Summary
Focus most study attention on the lectures. For the mock question, the picture is twiggy, homo habilis. For the primate information, know the classification of apes and focus on specialized locomotion and behavior. We are solid on neanderthals, homo erectus and homo sapiens, as well as australopithecine. We sometimes refer to species as archaic homos, we use to call neanderthals, homo sapiens neandertalensis, meaning we are same species that can interbreed, but recently we have called. Homo erectus belongs to the lower pleistocene 1. 6 million years ago to 780,000 years ago. Then the planet gets warmer again, and we have middle pleistocene, where we have later, more advance erectus forms and early archaics. At the ends of pleistocene known as upper pleistocene do we see late archaics, neanderthals and. Variability because pleistocene is known as the great ice age. Green band is warm ages, and white band is cold ages.
