Introduction to Physical Anthropology

This is your last weekly assignment for the semester

Using text material from chapter 12 and complete sentences, (plan on roughly a paragraph per question), please answer the following question as completely as possible. Frame your answers using your own words rather than with material taken directly/verbatim from the text or another source.

You need only address one question this week, your answer is worth 10 points and is due by midnight Sunday, December,18. Answers which are identical to those of another student will not be accepted.

This week you will continue with material from Chapter 12 and emphasize distinctions between the culture and anatomy of anatomically modern individuals and earlier hominids.

Please describe three distinct cultural differences associated with the lifestyle of early modern humans and 2 anatomical differences that set anatomically modern humans apart from archaic homo sapiens. These should be characteristics specific to moderns - not characteristics of previous hominids.
