Lab 01 Exercise 2 Subfields of Biological
Anthropology Scenarios Questions and
Correct Answers the Latest Update and
Recommended Version
SCENARIO A: Biological anthropologists have discovered a previously unknown fossil species.
The species lived about 4.4 million years ago in Africa. The dating of this fossil species places
it closer in time to the last common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees than most other known
fossil species. This newly discovered species has an interesting mix of traits. For example, it has
adaptations for climbing in trees as well as for walking on two legs on the ground. It does not
directly resemble any of the living ape species, which suggests that the living ape species
(including humans) have each become adapted for their own environmental contexts over time.
