1. Do Now- What questions do you have about this picture?

2. Primates

5. Primatology
The study of primates and how they have adapted anatomically and behaviorally to their environments
Anthropologist believe this will help in understanding human behavior

6. Give birth to live young
Primates are mammals
Meaning they are:
warm blooded
Vertebrates
Give birth to live young

7. Mammals
larger more well developed brains
Fur/ hair covered

8. Primates Traits Primates are an arboreal mammal
They are generally omnivorous
Most have an opposable thumb
They are social animals

9. Other Primate Traits Forward facing eyes Grasping hands and feet
Rotating forearms

10. Primate Traits Relatively large brains Reduction in sense of smell
Steroescopic vision

11. Long childhood dependency periods Play The ability to learn
Primate Social Traits
Diurnal
Long childhood dependency periods
Play
The ability to learn

14. Living Primates
Prosimians:
Ex. Lemurs Tasiers, Bushbabies

15. Living Primates
Anthropoids witch are divided into New World and Old World Primates
New World Monkeys include marmosets and tamarins

16. Marmosets

17. Old world primates include Old World Monkeys and Apes

18. Apes Gibbons and Siamangs Orangutans, Gorillas, and Chimpanzees
Hominids

19. The also have anatomical and behavioral similarities
Apes
Chimpanzees and gorillas have DNA that is similar to homo sapiens
The also have anatomical and behavioral similarities

20. Hominids are bipedal primates

21. Homo Sapiens
The only surviving bipedal primate (hominid) on earth today is us!

23. Early Hominids
Characteristics of early hominids: Sagittal crests=large jaw mussels
Sahelanthropus, Orrorin, and Ardipithecus
Most of the debate around Sahelanthropus, Orrorin, and Ardipithecus is about: if they were entirely bipedal

24. Homo Erectus was most likely the first hominid to make tools
Early Hominids cont.
Homo Erectus was most likely the first hominid to make tools
Australopithecine-generally divided into: Gracile and Robust

25. Homo Sapiens
The family of bipedal primates to which Homo Sapiens belong: hominids
The genus Homo is regarded as the first to: make tools
Homo Sapiens evolved around: 200KYA

26. How Homo Sapiens Evolved
The single origin theory is supported by: mtDNA
The multiregional theory of evolution holds that humans evolved from Neanderthalensis

27. Do Now
Read over your project directions. Write any questions you have about the project on the back of your direction sheet.

28. Bipedalism Bipedalism: it was useful for “hands free living”
it allowed a vantage point to spot predators
it kept the body cooler
The Savanna theory of bipedalism states: bipedalism developed to keep hominids cool

30. Had a complex social structure and rudimentary tool making abilities
Neanderthals
Had a complex social structure and rudimentary tool making abilities
Neanderthal had religion: buried dead and saved skulls

32. Neanderthals Extinction of Neanderthalensis:
Homo Sapiens had a role in killing them off
they interbreed with Homo Sapiens
they were noted suited to the changing environment
