Document Summary
Requires clear thesis as an explanatory claim: helps structure and anchor the body, order of evidence listed in thesis should be matched in body. Prompt: present and defend a hypothesis to explain how and why through the interconnected processes of populaion adaptaion and niche construcion biological evoluion modiied the hominin brain. Be sure to consider how our brains evolved via descent from the common ancestor we share with chimpanzees and bonobos. Short-lived animals and quicker maturaion periods (i. e. life history patern) with smaller brains ex. Lizards are born quite ready to adapt to niche using their olfactory systems and etc. Small bodies have lots of surface area and require higher metabolism as a result. Larger bodies have more cells inside than on the surface area and have slower growth and metabolism. Handout q&a: life history theory - basics. Life history patern: deines transiions from incepion to death as well as the patern of dependency of ofspring on mother.
