The Neandertal World Included

Painted perforated shells are evidence that Neandertals

used symbolism

Cannibalism was

practiced by Neandertals and modern Homo sapiens

In Atapuerca 5, early archaic Homo sapiens and Neandertal specimens show heavy wear on the incisors and canines, indicating

the use of the front teeth for gripping materials

While on an archaeological dig in Europe, you find a stone tool that is rounded on one side and has had flakes removed from the other side, giving it the appearance of a tortoise shell. This is likely to be a(n)

example of the levallois technique of the Middle Paleolithic

Sub-Saharan Africans show the largest genetic diversity of any human population. This is likely to have resulted from the

accumulations of genetic mutations over time

The people represented by the Denisova fossils likely

interbred with Homo erectus

The out-of-Africa model asserts

a single origin of modern people and eventual replacement of archaic Homo sapiens throughout Africa, Asia, and Europe.

Neandertals

ate a lot of meat

The Herto skulls from Ethiopia

have a combination of archaic and modern features

The Middle Paleolithic prepared-core stone tools that are associated with Neandertals are called

Mousterian

A hominin fossil that has a long, low skull; projecting face and occipital bone; and large nasal aperture is likely to be classified as having ________ characteristics.

archaic

Compared to modern Homo sapiens, archaic Homo sapiens has a

taller and wider nasal aperture, a more projecting occipital bone, a larger bowridge and no chin

The Neandertal world included

most of western Europe (France, Spain), the entire European Mediterranean, and western Asia

Human beings first arrived in the Americas approximately ________ yBP.

15,000

Archaic Homo sapiens

shows a mixture of Homo erectus and Homo sapiens traits.

If you happen to get on a bus full of Neandertals, according to recent reconstructions, you

would not notice, if they were dressed in appropriate attire

A distinctive trait of people from East Asia and the Americas is

shovel-shaped incisors

The discovery of modern/archaic hybrid fossils supports which model of modern human origins?

assimilation

Neandertals' cold-adapted traits include

projecting midface

The best fossil evidence to suggest that Neandertals could produce a language like that of modern humans comes from which bone(s) collected at Kebara, Israel?

the hoyoid

All fossils of archaic Homo sapiens and earlier Homo erectus show

expansion of the brain and increased cultural complexity

The morphology of the Paleoindian skull from Kennewick indicates that it

looks quite different from modern Native Americas' skulls

The Levallois method of stone tool production is associated with the

Mousterian

According to John Relethford, the MOST likely reason(s) for modern humans to have migrated out of Africa during the late Pleistocene include

loss of food supply and climate change

The MOST distinctive traits about the cold adaptation complex of Neandertals are

the body and the length of the arms and legs

Allen's and Bergmann's rules have been used to explain

variation in body shape across Neandertals and different human groups who live in vastly different climates
