Document Summary
Objective 1: describe adaptations in primates as they moved from an arboreal existence (knowledge/comprehension) Grasping hands and feet - opposable thumb (or big toe) Change in relative importance of senses smell diminished vision (including color) and hearing improved. Stereoscopic vision seeing an object at the same time with both eyes in the same plane with a slightly different perspective gives depth perception, width, height, etc. Objective 2: reconstruct the cladogram for primate evolution; name and give examples of the three suborders of primates; distinguish among anthropoids, hominoids, and hominins. (knowledge/comprehension/analysis) Objective 3: list and describe differences between old world and new world monkeys (knowledge/comprehension) use tail as another limb to grasp things such as tree branches. Comparison of old world and new world monkeys. Tree dwellers such as gibbons and orangutans. Objective 5: describe skeletal and skull differences between apes and hominini (knowledge/comprehension) Humans - first toe aligned and not opposable. Gorillas - first toe not aligned and is opposable.
