to determine where early hominids lived, as proven in this quote. “ Australopithecus anamensis has been found at Kanapoi and Allia Bay, Kenya, in association with another type of mosaic – an open savanna with low trees and shrubs, but with both grasslands and gallery forests nearby.” (1) This piece of evidence can be used to prove that apes did not live near water, which is another leading theory. This is important for figuring out more about how early humans used their environment. I also…

Pre-Lab Questions 1. A population is a group of the same species that live in the same area and sometimes compete or can mutually benefit one another. A group of organisms will only be considered a population if they live in the same area in space and time. N is the true population size for a given group of organisms. This number is unlikely to be completely known. Whereas N hat is an estimate of population size. 2. There are two methods of sampling, direct and indirect. Direct sampling is an…
front, are also white. It has a sharp, orange beak. Lifestyle-These birds live in large groups, mostly consisting of over 100 of them. Habitat-These birds live in floodplains and wet grasslands. This probably means their diet consists of fish. Food-Since the Magpie Goose lives in floodplains and wet grasslands, this means that they eat food that comes from the water, like fish. Their name also might come from the fact that they eat fish, because most geese live around water sources. Nest-…
are projected to rise by 0.5-10C by 2030 and by 1.4-5.80C by 2100. These higher temperatures will result in increased evapotranspiration and lower soil moisture levels. Some cultivated areas will become unsuitable for cropping and some tropical grasslands may become increasingly arid. This may also expand the range of agricultural pests and diseases. Even now, farmers are alluding to increases in frequency and severity of extreme climatic factors such as floods and droughts. Rainfall patterns…
account of the fires used to clear the plots of land are not being controlled properly. Along with this, because of the depleting amount of forests there isn’t enough source of seeds because of lack of regeneration or inadvertent burning, this causes grasslands to become established from the lack of soil nutrients needed for agriculture and regrowth of the…
As mentioned above, the two skulls were compared are Proconsul Africanus (an ape skull) and Gracile Australopithecine (a hominid skull). Proconsul Africanus was from Kenya and lived 23.8-5.3 million years ago. However, Gracile Australopithecine was from Ethiopia and lived 5.3-1.8 million years ago. Based on observation the tooth size is different especially in terms of the canine teeth. The ape skull has large canine teeth whereas the hominid skull has small ones. The brain size of the hominid…
