Examine the provided diagrams comparing apes and humans. 2. Complete Table I and Table II below by identifying the differences between the listed characteristics of humans and apes. 3. After completing Table I and II, answer the conclusion questions using the data collected on Table I and II.</p><p>Table II: Comparison of Ape and Human Skulls</p><p>Characteristics Apes Humans</p><p>Cranial Capacity</p><p>Length & Size of Jaw Facial Profile (prognathism) Supra-orbital Ridge Dental Arcade (lower jaw) Number of Teeth (lower jaw) Molars Premolars Canine Incisors Size of Canine Teeth </p><p>Gaps in Teeth</p><p>Analysis Questions:</p><p>1. How has the position of the big toe on bipedal humans helped as a successful adaptation?</p><p>2. If the center of gravity is located above and in front of the pelvis of an animal, the animal has a tendency to fall over when standing on only two legs. Which animal in this investigation (humans or apes) might have this problem? Explain.</p><p>3. List 3 characteristics of apes that support the fact that they are quadrupedal rather than bipedal.</p><p>4. Suppose the fossil bones of the 3 humanlike animals were discovered. Using observations from Table 1, indicate if each of the animals was bipedal or quadrupedal. a. Animal X – longer arms than legs: ______b. Animal Y – vertebra of the lumbar region are straight: ______c. Animal Z – outside edge of knee joint (below the femur) more worn than the inside edge: ______</p><p>5. How does the skull structure provide evidence of an ape’s intelligence compared to a human’s intelligence?</p>
