have on Eugene Dubios? 2. Why did Dubios choose to search in the Dutch East Indies for the missing link and not Africa: 3. What evidence did Dubios assemble to support his claim that Pithecanthropus was as intermediate between apes and modern humans? CHAPTER 5 QUESTIONS: 1. What characteristics made Roy Chapman Andrews particularly adept at exploration? 2. Why were experts in difference disciplines vital to the expedition and its success?

Melissa King Biological Anthropology 06 March 2015 Midterm Exam Part I: * A phenotype is an organism's observable trait. The phenotype is determined by the relationship between the two parental alleles. For example. if someone has the genotype "Bb" for brown eyes (B) and blue eyes (b), their phenotype would be brown eyes, because the brown allele dominates over the blue eyes allele. * A gene is a piece of DNA that contains the instructions for a protein. It is a unit that is hereditary

1. What journal was the article published in? This article was published October 1958 in The Ecological Society of America 2. Find five terms that you do not know the meaning of in the paper. DEFINE these terms Non parametric statistics: is defined to be a function on a sample that has no dependency on a parameter, and whose interpretation does not depend on the population fitting any parametrized distributions. Statistics based on the ranks of observations are one example of such statistics

*Q: What is Evolution? - Descent from modification * Macro Evolution (Large Scale Evolution) * Common Ancestor - descent of different species over many generations * OVER LARGER TIMESCALE (ex. Speciation) * Micro Evolution (Small Scale Evolution) * Changes in gene (allele) frequency in population from one generation to the next * May be over shorter time period (generations) * BOTH OF THESE IMPLY: * 1. Common Ancestry * 2. Changes through

an evolutionary biologist named Jerry Coyne last week, and a question he was asked was: “If you were to present one piece of evidence for evolution to a non-believer, what would it be?” His answer: “The fossil record.” While I find the fossil record interesting, I find vestigial structures as the most compelling, and best to present to those who are evolution-deniers. Vestigial structures are features of species that have lost ancestral functions, and either have a new use or no use of the feature

13 chromosomes to the child during fertilization. It’s the process of recombination of cells from both parents. Migration of individuals is an important factor in passing on or subtracting alleles from one local population to another. Whenever one human being leaves one population and enters another, it subtracts its genetic information from its own and joins the one it has entered. As persons continue to add to and leave the population the gene pool will continue to change. Population size is affected

Virtual Systematics Lab: Introduction to Systematics Worksheet Learning Goal: To learn how biologists classify species based on their evolutionary relationships. Prerequisite Knowledge: Before beginning this lab, you should be familiar with these concepts: • why biologists today use the three-domain system of classification • how evolutionary trees depict biologists’ understandings about the evolutionary relationships among groups of organisms Introduction: Almost every place on Earth
