ANTHRO 104 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Ochre, Shanidar Cave, Foxp2
Document Summary
Descendent of h. erectus, precursor to h. neanderthalensis. La sima de los huesos ( the pit of the bones ), spain. No small bones a) b) perhaps pit was site of effluvial pattern small bones separated from large bones in current\ b. b. c. Anatomy a. large supra-orbital torus low frontal bone sagittal keeling. Some specimen as tall as 7" robust supra-orbital torus w/continuous double-arch broad nasal bones. 350kya, oldest preserved hunting weapons crafted like javelins horse bones (evidence of hunting, cut-marks/preparing) A. spears left with bones regardless, complex technology and behavior. Colder climate (h. hedelbergensis, h. neanderthalensis): more mass = more heat. Warmer climate (h. erectus): does not need extra mass. Bergman"s rule: larger body size as species moves further from equator. Allen"s rule: as a species moves further from the equator, appendages shorten. Shortened appendages = less surface area = retain heat. Lengthened appendages = increased surface area = loose heat.
