Relative to other primates, prosimian adaptations include:

The eminent British anatomist Sir Wilfrid E. Le Gros Clark (1895–1971) identified three prominent tendencies. They are:

The typical catarrhine dental formula is:

Prehensile tails are:

Living lemurs are found only in:

Arboreal adaptation is:

Modern primates are characterized by arboreal adaptations, including:

African monkeys, including Miss Waldron’s red colobus, are:

You are reading a scientific paper regarding the relationships of the anatomical and behavioral characteristics of chimpanzees and their implications for early hominid evolution. You note that the authors refer to human ancestors as hominids. This implies that the researchers are relying on:

Altruistic behavior:

Sociality among primates is likely the result of which of the following selective pressures?

Three key factors that contribute to a female primate’s success at feeding are

Predator-specific vocalizations in Diana monkeys vary based on:

Sexual dimorphism:

Male primates most often compete for mates while female primates compete for other resources, demonstrating that:

Primate societies are complexly organized. This means:

Male reproductive strategies emphasize:

To reconstruct and interpret evolutionary changes, it is crucial to place each fossil in time. This is called a(n):

If fossil species A is consistently recovered from geological deposits beneath layers containing fossil species B, then A is considered older than B. This relative dating technique is based on the principle of:

Fission track dating can provide dates when used on which type of material?

Scientists can determine the type of plant consumed based on:

Most of the fossils discovered in Africa come from the eastern and southern parts of the continent. Why is this?

During the Holocene artifacts like _______ began to appear.

What is the most important variable in reconstructing ancient climate?

A mummy is discovered whose tomb includes cloth, food, and other organic remains. What dating method would most likely be used to date the tomb?

Eras are:

Paleocene organisms that may have been the first primates were:

The calcaneus (heel bone) of Eosimias suggests that it may be a very primitive:

The visual predation hypothesis proposes that:

Sivapithecus is widely recognized as an ancestral member of which ape lineage?

Plesiadapiforms are also called:

Apes went extinct in southern Europe (including France, Spain, Italy, and Greece) during the late Miocene, probably as a result of:

A rapid temperature increase about 55 mya created tropical conditions around the world, resulting in the:

The most distinctive feature of ape dentition, which clearly distinguishes apes from Old World monkeys, is:

Basal anthropoids are
