Document Summary
The pelvis of australopithocene afarensis is different from that of chimpanzees, in that the ilia are wide. A femur from a biped ____________ than that of a quadrupedal primate is angled inward more. Skeletal evidence for bipedalism would include: large calcaneus, s-shaped vertebral column, big toe in line with other toes. The idea that some races were more closely related to apes than they were to other races is known as: What did ungar and colleagues (2011) conclude about the diet of paranthropus? they ate a lot of c4 plants, such as grasses. Increase in cc, tool use, bipedality, meat eating, language. Idea that origins of humans is very ancient. Linear hypothesis primitive-looking ancestor gave rise to humans. Parallel hypothesis both modern and primitive form evolving simultaneously, contributing to ancestry of homo. "zinjanthropus boisei" (p. boisei), first thought to be toolmaker. Knm-er 1470, rudolfensis (habilis) skull unlike any other. Comparison of blood proteins placed chimps, humans, gorillas in hominidae.
