Question

SCENARIO ABiological anthropologists have discovered a previously unknown fossil species namedAustralopithecus sediba. The species lived about 2 million years ago in Africa and has an interesting mix of traits. For example, its arms are adapted for climbing in trees and its legs are adapted for walking on two legs on the ground. It does not directly resemble any of the living ape species, which suggests that the living ape species (including humans) have each become adapted for their own environmental contexts over time.What is the primary type of biological anthropology addressed in this research?A. Human biologyB. Forensic anthropologyC. PaleoanthropologyD. PrimatologyDoes the research also touch on topics that might be relevant to researchers in disciplines outside anthropology, such as biology, geology, psychology, medicine, sociology, or criminology? Which of the following disciplines would be most relevant?A. PsychologyB. BiologyC. CriminologyD. SociologyHow does this research relate to human evolution? In other words, what can we learn about human evolution from research along these lines?

Answer 1

In scenario A A. Human biology

Which of the following disciplines would be most relevant?

B. Biology

Step-by-step explanation:

In scenario A Australopithecus sediba arms are adapted for climbing in tree and its legs are adapted for walking on two legs. Australopithecus is related to homo habilis and also homo erectos. They are different human primate.

B. Biology because there are fossil remains dated to about 2 million years ago.
