Full Description

The focus of this exam is the comparative analysis of hominin fossil morphology. Students will assess various morphological traits of ancient human species to understand their evolutionary adaptations.

Comparative morphology serves as an essential tool for testing hypotheses about evolutionary relationships and adaptation mechanisms, reinforcing the significance of paleoanthropological research in the broader context of evolutionary theory.

The exam will evaluate the student’s ability to succinctly describe morphological differences among hominins, interpret their implications for evolutionary theory, and discuss the practical techniques used in fossil morphology analysis.

Preparation should include familiarity with key morphological characteristics of major species and how these relate to evolutionary hypotheses.

Sample Questions

  • What are the key morphological traits that differentiate early hominins?
  • How do morphological adaptations inform our understanding of human evolution?
