A young female named Imo was the first to be seen washing her taters in the water, the younger macaques took her lead and caught on but the older ones never did. She later invented "placer-mining" too.

Bergmann's and Allen's rule refer to D. the regulation of body temperature through body shape and the length of arms and legs Bergman's is larger in cold and Allen's rounder or shorter limbs 2. During WWII the Japanese: C. in the US were sent to Internment Camps in the United States, even if they were US citizens. 3. Fluoring dating I think A A. is a chronometric dating method. B. can be used on ANY organic material. possible answer E. can be used with obsidian. I think not. 4. Forensic Anthropologists are not interested in pathologies, such as dental cavities. B False, they are interested 5. Historic events, such as slavery and plagues, can affect the genetics of a population. A True - that is especially true of plagues. Slavery sure moves populations around and changes mating behaviors. 6. Hominids first reached the Americas D. about 13,000 years ago as fully anatomically modern humans They actually ave older fossil like a 14,000 year old coprolite in Oregon. 7. Homo erectus used Acheulian hand axes and scrapers. A True 8. Margaret Mead's studies demonstrated that some of the perceived differences between women and men are cultural rather than biological. A True - I think it is true based on the way the question is asked.. 9. Paleopathologists will do facial reconstructions of individual skeletons, even though they do not need to identify the individual as forensics anthropologists do. A False, I don't think that wouldn't be a normal part of their job. 10. Populations of non-African decent can carry the Sickle Cell Anemia allele. A True - It is known in Asia and parts of Europe where malaria was a problem. 11. Relative Dating A. A. techniques tell us whether something is older or younger than something else. B. techniques give us an exact numeric date or date range. absolute dating C. includes potassium-argon dating. =not D. can be done on ANY organic material.= not E. is an ancient cousin courtship ritual =not 12. Skin cancer is the strongest selective pressure on skin color. B False probably. Vitamin D should be more important. 13. The Little Rock Nine C. were nine young students who ended segregation of schools in Arkansas. 14. Vitamin D toxicity can result in kidney stones. A True 15. We can identify Olduwan tools in the archaeological record B B. because they are found in context with cut and smashed bone fragments C. because they are so well made that they are easily identifiable as tools They were very poorly made. 16. When Hardy Weinberg equilibrium exists, it is because the population is evolving at a steady rate. B False They aren't evolving. 17. When primates become adults, one sex usually disperses to avoid competition and incest. A True = not always for the competition part but it is true for incest. 18. Which hominid has the LARGE saggital CREST, large molars, and a wide face: E. Robust Australopithecines 19. Young Japanese macaques invented and taught each other the process of washing and salting the roots they ate in the ocean. B False - they are taught by older parents and I have only ever seen that behavior in tropical macaques. I think it is false because of the word "young".<br><b>References : </b><br> 1.
