Subphylum Vertebrata Behavior

Subphylum Vertebrata Earliest

1. Primates evolved more than 60 million years ago during the Paleocene 2. First primates resemble tree shrews • Long snouts • Poor daytime vision baby orangutan From Primates to Humans Hominoids

1. Apes, humans, and extinct species of their lineages “Uniquely” human traits evolved 2. In and body , humans are closer through modification of traits that to apes than to monkeys evolved earlier, in ancestral forms 3. Hominids • Subgroup that includes humans and extinct humanlike species

Trends in Lineage Adaptations to an Leading to Humans Arboreal Lifestyle 1. Less reliance on smell, more on vision 1. During the , certain primates 2. Skeletal changes to allow bipedalism became adapted to life in trees 3. Modifications of to allow refined hand • Better daytime vision movements • Shorter snout 4. Bow-shaped and smaller teeth • Larger brain 5. Longer lifespan and longer period of dependency • Forward-directed • Capacity for grasping motions

First Hominids Australopiths

1. Earliest known is Ardipithecus ramidus 1. Earliest known is A. anamensis • Lived 4.4 million years ago in Africa 2. A. afarensis and A. africanus arose next • More apelike than humanlike 3. All three were slightly built (gracile) 2. Numerous australopiths evolved during the 4. Species that arose later, A. boisei and A. next 2 million years robustus, had heavier builds • Large face, protruding jaw, small 5. Exact tree is not known • Walked upright Hominid phylogeny Humans Arise

1. First member of the Homo is H. habilis 2. Lived in woodlands during late

Homo erectus Homo sapiens

1. Evolved in Africa 1. Modern man evolved by 100,000 years 2. Migrated into Europe and Asia about 1.5 ago million - 2 million years ago 2. Had smaller teeth and jaws than H. 3. Had a larger brain than H. habilis erectus 4. Was a creative toolmaker 3. Facial bones were smaller, skull was larger 5. Built fires and used furs for clothing

Homo Neanderthalensis Earliest Are African

1. Early humans that lived in Europe and 1. Africa appears to be the cradle of human evolution Near East 2. No human fossils older than 1.8 million years 2. Massively built, with large exist anywhere but Africa 3. Disappeared when H. sapiens appeared 3. Homo erectus left Africa in waves from 2 million 4. DNA evidence suggests that they did not to 500,000 years ago contribute to modern European populations Where Did H. sapiens Arise? Multiregional Model

1. Two hypotheses: 1. Argues that H. erectus migrated to many locations by about 1 million years ago • Multiregional model 2. Geographically separated populations gave rise to • African emergence model phenotypically different races of H. sapiens in 2. Both attempt to address both biochemical different locations and fossil evidence 3. flow prevented races from becoming species
