Which of the following is characteristic of hominids Check all that apply?
Bipedalism: Hominids are characterized by walking on two legs. Larger brains: Hominids have larger brain sizes compared to other primates. Tool use: Hominids are known to use tools in their daily activities. Social behavior: Hominids exhibit complex social behaviors and interactions.
Why do you think the face flattens over time in hominids?
One theory is that as hominids evolved, their brain size increased, causing the skull to enlarge and the face to flatten to accommodate the larger brain. Another possible explanation is that changes in diet and lifestyle, such as the shift to a softer diet and less use of the jaw muscles, may have contributed to facial flattening over time.
What could homo habilis do that earlier hominids or apes could not do?
Homo habilis had a larger brain capacity and more advanced tool-making abilities compared to earlier hominids or apes. They were able to create and use stone tools, giving them a significant advantage in obtaining and processing resources for survival.
How is the species Homo Sapiens different from earlier hominids?
The brain is larger in Homo Sapiens Sapiens than in all earlier hominids except the neanderthal (Homo Sapiens Neanderthalensis), and we are possibly the first to use a large portion of our brains for art instead of just survival skills.
How is the species homo spaiens different from earlier hominids?
Homo sapiens are the only surviving species of the genus Homo. They have a larger brain size, more complex tools, sophisticated language abilities, and a capacity for abstract thought and symbolic behavior that set them apart from earlier hominids. Homo sapiens also have a more advanced culture, social organization, and the ability to adapt to diverse environments.
How are hominids different from monkeys and apes?

Which of the hominids had the largest brain and an upright posture?
upright posture...large brains
Did any hominids have a larger cranial capacity than human if so which species?
Yes, some hominids had larger cranial capacities than modern humans. Notably, the Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis) had an average cranial capacity of about 1,450 cubic centimeters, which is larger than the average for modern humans, around 1,350 cubic centimeters. Additionally, the prehistoric species Homo heidelbergensis and certain specimens of Homo erectus also exhibited larger cranial capacities. However, larger brain size does not necessarily correlate with higher cognitive abilities.

What are the benefits and costs of a larger brain?
Having a large brain can increase the amount of memory that the brain can store. It also makes you look smarter.
How is the sheep's brain similar and different from a human's brain?
Sheep's brains are similar to human brains in structure and function, both having a cerebral cortex, cerebellum, and brainstem. However, human brains are larger and more complex than sheep brains, with a higher cognitive capacity and ability for advanced problem-solving. Additionally, human brains have a greater degree of specialization and flexibility compared to sheep brains.
How much larger is a Neanderthal brain than a human brain in percent?
A Neanderthal brain was around 10-15% larger than a modern human brain, on average.
