Homo naledi, recently discovered in south africa, has a sagittal keel, large browridge, thick cranial bones, and reduced tooth s

ize. the brain size is small, close to 500cc. where might this new species fit in the larger pattern of human evolution in africa?
a. h. naledi sits comfortably at the juncture of australopithecus and early homo, since all of its traits seem intermediate between the two.
b. h. naledi demonstrates the exact mix of traits expected for a new homo fossil of this time period and this region.
c. h. naledi has several traits that do not fit with the genus homo, including its large browridge and thick cranial bones; however, it must be homo because it is securely dated to 1 mya.
d. h. naledi seems most likely a member of the genus homo; however, its small brain size is regarded as a primitive hominin trait more reminiscent of the australopithecines.

The answer is D.
Homo naledi seems most likely to be a member of the genus Homo; however, its small brain size is regarded as a primitive hominin trait more reminiscent of australopithecus.
Homo naledi is an extinct species of hominin, which anthropologists first described in September 2015 and have assigned to the genus Homo.

Answer:

The correct answer is option d. "h. naledi seems most likely a member of the genus homo; however, its small brain size is regarded as a primitive hominin trait more reminiscent of the australopithecines".

Explanation:

The human evolution in Africa has been unveiled by the description of different ancestors of the modern humans, from the primitive Australopithecus afarensis to the Homo erectus. In this case, the new discovered species Homo naledi has characteristics that fit somewhere after the most primitive Australopithecus afarensis. Homo naledi has a small brain size that reminiscent of the australopithecines, however it has more modern features such as reduced tooth size and sagittal keel, which fits with the genre Homo.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

choanoflagellates and sponges are sister groups

Explanation:

The choanoflagellates are small unicellular organisms belonging to the Protista kingdom. These microorganisms are collared flagellates morphologically similar to the choanocyte cells of animal sponges, which have a central flagellum surrounded by a collar of microvilli. In consequence, it has been suggested that choanoflagellates may represent the closest living relatives of primitive metazoans (i.e., they are sister groups to sponges). This hypothesis has recently been supported by both molecular phylogenetic and comparative genomic analyses.

Describe different ways that cell shape can be modified so that diffusion rate will be increased
ahrayia [7]
In order to increase the rate of diffusion of materials in and out of the cell, the following modification can be done to the cell:
1. the shape of the cell can be changed to one that has high surface area to volume ration, for example sphere.
2.The cell can also divide into two in order to increase the surface area to volume ratio.

Which two statements are true regarding an energy pyramid
ivolga24 [154]
This is an ecosystem energy pyramid that illustrates how much energy is found at each trophic level of a food chain. Select all the statements about this pyramid that are TRUE.

Approximately 90% of energy from one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level.

Looking at the total amount of energy in an ecosystem, most energy can be found in the primary consumers.

This energy pyramid explains why there are few tertiary consumers in most ecosystems.

Looking at the total amount of energy in an ecosystem, most energy can be found in the producers.
