Primate fossils and primate evolutionary pathways <\/p>\n
PART A: identifying Primate Fossils<\/p>\n
1. Classify the following sample primate fossils below as: Adapoid, Omomyoid, New World Monkey, Old World Monkey, Hominoid (Ape-like), Hominid. This is a \u201chypothetical fossil\u201d and not a fossil already mentioned in your text.<\/p>\n
2. Could this hypothetical fossil represent any type of possible transitional fossil? Explain your answer.<\/p>\n
A. A quadrupedal fossil found in Montana about the size of hamster with a 2143 dentition pattern<\/p>\n
B. A bipedal fossil found in Africa with a Y-5 cusp pattern.<\/p>\n
C. A quadrupedal fossil found in Asia with no tail and a 2123 dentition pattern.<\/p>\n
D. A quadrupedal fossil found in Northern Africa with a 2133 dentition pattern.<\/p>\n
E. A quadrupedal fossil with 1133 dentition found in Europe<\/p>\n
PART B: Diagraming Fossil Primates (Use similar methods to last weeks diagrams to submit)<\/p>\n
Choose EITHER the Traditional Tree and the Cladogram to illustrate the evolutionary pathway of non-human primate fossils. Please include the following in your diagram:<\/p>\n
1. Adapids<\/p>\n
2. Omomyids<\/p>\n
3. Aegyptopithecus<\/p>\n
4. Apidium<\/p>\n
5. Victoriapithecus<\/p>\n
6. Branisella<\/p>\n
7. Saadanius<\/p>\n
8. Proconsul<\/p>\n
9. Sivapithecus<\/p>\n
8. Ouranopithecus<\/p>\n
9. Modern Lemurs (Give Example)<\/p>\n
10 Modern Tarsiers (Give Example)<\/p>\n
11. Modern New World Monkeys (Give Example)<\/p>\n
12 Modern Old world Monkeys (Give Example)<\/p>\n
13. Modern Orangutans<\/p>\n
14. Modern Chimpanzees<\/p>\n
15. Modern Gorillas<\/p>\n
* If you are creating a traditional tree remember to include the time periods in your diagram.<\/p>\n
* If you are creating a cladogram remember to include identifying characteristics of your sister groups (such as dentition or locomotion).<\/p>\n
