(3) Archaeologists were able to discern the wild horse found at Boxgrove was hunted, rather than scavenged, by early humans because:

(3) Archaeologists were able to discern the wild horse found at Boxgrove was hunted, rather than scavenged, by early humans because:
Question 1 options:
only certain bone elements of the wild horse were present, showing that people took parts away
chimpanzees hunt, therefore early humans must have as well
wild horses were likely too large for them to kill effectively
the order of cut marks made by tools and tooth marks by hyenas show the latter occurred afterward
cut marks on the bones mean that early humans butchered the carcass
Question 2 (1 point)
(2) Chimpanzees living in the Gombe forest and the Mahale Mountains further south:
Question 2 options:
utilize different sets of plant foods, reflecting ‘cultural’ differences
differ in the amount of meat they consume
do not differ in their dietary choices
are all ‘pro-social’ groups
display narrow dietary preferences
Question 3 (1 point)
(2) What characteristic does the author suggest most differentiates humans from our close primate cousins in a qualitative sense?
Question 3 options:
We are the only species to share food outside the parent-child relationship.
The cyclic nature of our eating habits, structured around specific physical spaces and particular patterns of “drama”
The depth of human knowledge and awareness of our environments is not matched by other primates.
Our tools are considerably more complex than other primates.
We hunt other animals, whereas primates consume meat obtained opportunistically.
Question 4 (1 point)
(2) The author mentions that more intense socializing and wider networks of social interaction:
Question 4 options:
require greater mental processing power
are displayed by chimpanzees compared to bonobos
exist only in groups that engage in food sharing
are only characteristic of modern humans compared to other primates
explain the emergence of social hierarchy
Question 5 (1 point)
(3) The ‘mismatch’ in archaeological evidence the author describes relates to:
Question 5 options:
the presence of early human remains alongside the wild horse at Boxgrove
reconstruction of past climate that suggest early humans would not have needed to leave Africa, but they did anyway
early humans would have needed to navigate around packs of hyenas, and so would not likely have had time to process the wild horse carcass fast enough
none of the above
remarkably small diversity in an Acheulean tool types, but large geographic (and so ecological) diversity in where the tools are found
Question 6 (1 point)
(2) One dramatic observation about the difference between chimpanzees and bonobos that may help us understand the behaviors of our earliest ancestors is:
Question 6 options:
bonobos do not hunt
bonobos use sex as way of negotiating a wide variety of social interactions
bonobo groups are dominated by a single male with a group of associated females around him (a ‘harem’)
that bonobos do not use tools, unlike chimps
bonobos are more closely related to humans than chimpanzees
Question 7 (1 point)
(3) The series of ‘chapels’ the author describes relate to a hypothesis attempting to explain:
Question 7 options:
the organization of early human minds
ritual and artistic behavior among early humans
the evolution of language
seasonal gathering places as focal points in a landscape
Question 8 (1 point)
(3) The author offers a hypothesis that provided our ancestors an evolutionary advantage in their ability to get enough food and nutrition.
Question 8 options:
big brains
tools
language
use of fire
kin cooperation
Question 9 (1 point)
(2) Anthropologist Mary Douglas analyzed meals among modern humans as a kind of:
Question 9 options:
game, where individuals are attempting to maximize their prestige
template, because they all share the same component features
dialogue, where people ‘converse’ through food
evolution, as people become better at preparing particular kinds of foods
drama, with specific sequences of activities and behaviors
Question 10 (1 point)
(3) The distribution of flakes at archaeological sites, like Boxgrove, can provide archaeologists with evidence of:
Question 10 options:
competition between different groups over a carcass
butchery practices
the location of tool manufacture
the location of dwellings
the sequence of tool manufacture
