Moasic evolution of body, brain, teeth

Fossil record
Hard Evidence and its limitations
The fossil record is invaluable
Geological age of fossils
Comparative and functional morphology
Biomechanical analysis
Complementary evidence (fossilized fauna and flora)

Behavior doesn’t fossilize
Types of models
----: choose a living species as a model for our ancestors
- ecological similarity – savannah baboons
- behavioral similarity – cooperative hunting in lions/wild dogs
Referential Model
Types of models
---: use our closest living relatives
Strategic models Theoretically grounded (socioecological perspective) to predict or reconstruct extinct hominin behavior
