Possible test questions: 1. What advantages did bipedalism confer upon our ancestors? How could this have facilitated the contrast between biped and quadruped primates today? 2. Does vitamin D synthesis provide a convincing explanation for skin color distribution? Why or why not? Discuss other possibilities as well. 3. Discuss a ‘just-so’ story that relates to a topic that we have covered. Explain why it is or is not sound. 4. Compare/contrast Bogin & Smith’s and Leigh’s ideas of how the human life cycle has evolved.
Thanks!
