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
