Question 4215 pts This section includes 15 matching questions. You must match the species with their corresponding description (below). You will only use each letter once. A. Hominin species first found in Hadar (the Afar Triangle, eastern Africa). It dates to 3.5-3 million years ago. Clear presence of a bicondylar angle (valgus knee). Best known specimen is nicknamed Lucy. B. Hominin species found in Olduvai Gorge, of eastern Africa. It dates to 1-2 million years ago. Megadontia, flaring zygomatic arches, great postorbital constriction. Robust skull. Such large check teeth and attachments for chewing muscles gives this hominin the nickname Nutcracker Man. C. Hominin species first found by Louis and Mary Leakey in Olduvai Gorge (Tanzania, eastern Africa). It dates to 1.8-1.9 million years ago. Relatively small check teeth, thin enamel, and bigger brain size (around 700 cc) when compared to earlier hominins. This hominin was found in association with stone tools and accumulation of animal bones, earning the nickname Handy Man; D. First hominin species that left Africa and populated eastern Asia. Earliest specimens date to about 1.8 million years ago. In Asia, this species has been found in sites such as Trinil (Java, Indonesia) and Zoukoutien (China). Presence of sagittal keel and occipital torus. E. Early hominin found in Toros-Menalla (Chad, central Africa). It dates to 7-6 million years ago. Forward placement of foramen magnum. F. Both the Taung Child(discovered by Raymond Dart at Taung, South Africa, in 1924) and Mrs. Ples(discovered by Robert Broom at Sterkfontein, South Africa, in 1947) belong to this species. G. Hominin species found in the Rising Star Cave near Malapa, South Africa dated to 236-335 kya. Has a strange mix of morphology. Small cranial capacity, modern hands with curved phalanges, and the most modern human looking foot of all non-human fossils. H. Found near Lake Turkana by Richard Leakey, Nariokotome Boy is a juvenile male thought to be around 12 years old. His nearly complete skeleton demonstrates that this species was one of the first human ancestors to have body proportions similar to ours. I. Early hominin found in Tugen Hills (Kenya, eastern Africa). It dates to about 6 million years ago. Small molars with thick enamel. Large pointed canines. Long curved phalanges. Relatively thick cortical bone in the inferior region of the femoral neck, indicating bipedality. J. Hominin species often referred to as hyper robust, meaning that they have some of the largest saggital crest and flaring zygomatics of all the robust australopithecines. From West Turkana, this skull fossilized in manganese and is now known as the Black Skull. K. Nicknamed the Hobbit, these small hominins may have evolved in isolation on the island of Flores in Indonesia. Best known fossils occur at the cave site Liang Bua, alongside stone tools, animal bones, and evidence of controlled fire. L. Hominin that occupied Europe and Western Asia 200,000-30,000 years ago. They have a more robust build than anatomically modern humans and cranial features that include large nasal aperture, midfacial prognathism, and an occipital bun. M. Only hominin species to have the presence of a mental eminence, also known as a chin. N. Hominin species that originated in Africa about 800,000 years ago. Eventually, it also reached Asia and Europe. Persists in the fossil record until 200,000 years ago, approximately. Relatively big brain size (about 1,250 cc) when compared to earlier hominins. Good evidence of complex strategies to hunt big mammals and use of wooden spears. O. Early putative hominin from Aramis (Ethiopia, eastern Africa). It dates to about 4.4 million years ago. Foramen magnum shifted forward. Hand with long, curved digits. Foot with a divergent big toe.
