Q Goal Use the modules and review resources to complete the chart on this handout comparing pelvis and other bipedal features of the chimp, human, Australopithecus afarensis, Homo erectus, and Homo neanderthalensis skeletons. Refer to the module page for images needed for this assignment. UPDATE - I have removed some rows and clarified some instructions on the worksheet. Either use the new worksheet to complete the assignment, or you can leave the two rows blank on the old worksheet (Specimen Label, Calculating the Pelvic Inlet). Instructions Refer to the module page Week 7 - Pelvis Images for the Assignment (Genus Homo) for images and 3-D rotations of the four pelvises you need to describe and compare. You can also look at Week 7 - Comparing and Measuring the Pelvis (Genus Homo) Open the worksheet An111 Comparing Genus Homo pelvis shape-1.docx Download An111 Comparing Genus Homo pelvis shape-1.docx and fill out the table to compare features across the species. The rows will ask for one of the following types of answers. 1. Present or absent: When a feature is either there or not, you can use a + for present and – for absent. For example, “presence of sagittal crest” can be answered + or –. 2. Describe: When you are asked to describe a feature, do so with a few words or short phrases. For example, “shape of dental arcade” can be answered “U-shaped.” 3. Compare: When you are asked to compare, you need to ask “compare to what?” If there are three skulls being compared, you might say X and Y are smaller than Z. Or X is smaller than Y and Y is larger than Z. 4. Measure: Use the measurements you collected in earlier assignments or the values in the table below. Measurements gathered from teaching materials at LAVC. All measurements are in millimeters Homo erectus (WT 15000) H. neanderthalensis Human (euro male) A. afarensis iliac width 130 152 125 96 iliac height 107 128 107 82 Grading Learning and growth take practice and reflection and I am here to support your efforts.
