Answer 1

a. Chimpanzee, A. robustus, Handy man, Cro Magnon, A. anamensis

-----------------------------------

I took an Anthropology college class 2 years ago. I did Not believe one teaching my teacher taught.

I believe strongly in 'Creation' back since Adam & Eve 10,000 years ago.  

----------------------------------

But for the sake of your question:

"A" is my answer cause *Handy Man* is more Human-Like........I don't know I've forgotten.

Answer 2

a) Chimp: the rest are homonids (though i can't recall what the last one is specifically)

b) Piltdown man was a fake if my memory serves

c) HOMO habilis.  The rest share a common genus: africanus

Answer 3

a) Chimpanzee.  The rest are bipedal hominins.

b)  Piltdown Man.  This skull was a fraud - not a real hominin.

c)  H. habilis.  The rest all belong to the genus Australopithecus.

Answer 4

that's an easy one my friend....

a) chimpanzee, a chimpanzee is not anywhere in our direct bloodline.  we share a common ancestor, but it's not an direct ancestor, the rest are.

b)piltdown man.  the reason for this is becasue it was a huge hoaz.  it was in england, a couple of young "anthropologists" took this ape skull and attached a 'human' jaw bone, trying to claim a new species to gain fame and grants.  it was proven to be false.

c)Homo Habilis because all of the others are australpithicines, including lucy.
