Use a binomial system to classify the immediate members of your family (mother, father, siblings). Write their names in the spaces provided so that your system reflects the system used to designate species (e.g., the author of this book would be Hens samantha, her brother would be Hens Joseph).
Problem Set 1 Ant 111 – Problem Set 2 Name: __________________________ Directions: For this problem set, you will read the attached PDF files from the workbook “Method and Practice in Biological Anthropology” by S. Hens, 2008, and work through the indicated exercises. Feel free to consult your textbook for additional information if necessary. Please fill out the answers to the following questions by typing your answers in the provided boxes. You should name your file: Yourname_Problem2, and submit this sheet as an attachment in the Assignment area for the appropriate problem set. See the assignment directions for more information. Due Date: Problem Set 2 is due 11:59pm Sunday the last day of Unit 3; see the course schedule for the exact date. Note: some of the questions say to examine casts (replicas) of bones or skeletons in the lab, which is obviously not possible for us. All of these questions can be answered given the information in the text of the lab manual. Chapter 10: Primate Classification Exercise 4, p. 136 (1.5 points each, for 3 points total) Which two animals are nocturnal? How can you tell? (From the picture.) Exercise 5, p. 137 (1 point each, for 22 points total) Compare a prosimian/Strepsirhine to an anthropoid/Haplorhine. prosimian/Strepsirhine anthropoid/Haplorhine Prehensility (yes/no) Opposability (yes/no) Grooming claw (yes/no) Five digits (yes/no) Clavicle (yes/no) Postorbital bar or complete closure (which one) Size of orbits (describe) Snout length (describe) Tooth comb (yes/no) Molar tooth cusps (describe) Fused mandible (yes/no) Exercise 6, p. 138 (1 point) Which monkey displays a prehensile tail?

Question 2, p. 145 (1.5 points) Which two organisms are most closely related? Question 8, p. 148 (1.5 points each, for 12 points total) Match the traits with the group, using: A- non-primate mammal trait, or B- primate trait. Claws Five digits Lack of opposability Excellent sense of smell Emphasis on vision Diphyodont dentition Clavicles Enclosed eye socket Question 9, p. 148 (1.5 points each, for 12 points total) Match the traits as belonging to what group of primates, using: A- prosimian, B- New World monkey, C- Old World monkey, D- ape. Tooth comb Broad thorax Broad nose Rhinarium Commonly nocturnal Lack of a tail Prehensile tail Bilophodont molars Question 10, p. 148 (2 points) Can you think of any physical traits that humans have that are not shared by apes? (hint- you can look ahead in the textbook if you can’t think of anything) Last question (1 point) What do you think of these problem sets? What about them do you like or dislike? Explain.
