Document Summary
N general patterns of morphology for some key fossil hominins. N forensic anthropology and how it relates to applied anthropology. N partial tibia provides strong evidence for bipedality: hind limbs as main source of locomotion. N primitive (ape-like) cranial morphology and a derived (human-like) postcranial morphology: from the head-up it looks like an ape, from the neck-down it looks more like a human. N ethiopia (hadar, omo, and fejej) and tanzania (laetoli) N complex morphology exhibiting some ape-like traits (e. g. , sagittal crests crests on the top and back of the skull that serve as anchor points for the chewing muscles) and hominin-like traits (e. g. , valgus knee) N transitional animal equal time on ground and in trees. N laetoli footprints: 3. 6 mya in laetoli, tanzania, demonstrate that early hominins were bipedal, big toes hardly diverged from the rest of foot, unlike in chimpanzees. S big toe in same location as humans: ,9,800-89701440/-940-411 the way modern humans walk www. notesolution. com.
