--------------------------------------...

Louis and Mary Leakey are famous because ?

(a).they discovered the Lascaux cave paintings.

(b).they created the systematic steps that archaeologists use to excavate a site.

(c). they were paleoanthropologists who made significant finds of early hominid species.

(d). they are experts in the field of archaeometry.

Answer 1

1) d

2)c

3) c

im positive on these answer i remember this from freshman year!

Answer 2

1.D

2.C

3.B

Answer 3

1: D ----> Archaeologists excavate sites from the past, thus it is impossible to interview people who lived at the site, as they are dead.

2: B ----> Modern humans are classified as Homo Sapiens, but they           are part of the Hominidae family, and thus the answer is hominids

3: C ---> According to their respective articles on Wikipedia.

Answer 4

According to wikipedia: "Humans, or human beings, are bipedal primates belonging to the mammalian species Homo sapiens (Latin: "wise man" or "knowing man") in the family Hominidae."

Homo is the *genus* - only very similar species make up the genus, e.g. humans, neanderthals, and those cute little hobbit people they found in Indonesia.

Hominids are members of the great ape *family* called Hominidae. Examples include gorillas, chimps, and me.

Primates are a biological *order* made up of different families, e.g. Hominidae (great apes), lemurs, and lesser apes.

Anyway the answer is b, hominids.

Answer 5

D

B Genus is homo, family is hominids

C

Answer 6

the second questions was is homo.. letter C.. thats all i know sorry

Answer 7

e. All of the above.

a. Humans belong to the scientific order named Primates, a group of over 230 species of mammals that also includes lemurs, lorises, tarsiers, monkeys, and apes. Modern humans, early humans, and other species of primates all have many similarities as well as some important differences. Knowledge of these similarities and differences helps scientists to understand the roots of many human traits, as well as the significance of each step in human evolution.

All primates, including humans, share at least part of a set of common characteristics that distinguish them from other mammals. Many of these characteristics evolved as adaptations for life in the trees, the environment in which earlier primates evolved. These include more reliance on sight than smell; overlapping fields of vision, allowing stereoscopic (three-dimensional) sight; limbs and hands adapted for clinging on, leaping from, and swinging on tree trunks and branches; the ability to grasp and manipulate small objects (using fingers with nails instead of claws); large brains in relation to body size; and complex social lives.

The scientific classification of primates reflects evolutionary relationships among individual species and groups of species. Strepsirhine (meaning 'turned-nosed') primates—of which the living representatives include lemurs, lorises, and other groups of species all commonly known as prosimians—evolved earliest and are the most primitive forms of primates. The earliest monkeys and apes evolved from ancestral haplorhine (meaning 'simple-nosed') primates, of which the most primitive living representative is the tarsier. Humans evolved from ape ancestors.

Tarsiers have traditionally been grouped with prosimians, but many scientists now recognize that tarsiers, monkeys, and apes share some distinct traits, and group the three together. Monkeys, apes, and humans—who share many traits not found in other primates—together make up the suborder Anthropoidea. Apes and humans together make up the superfamily Hominoidea, a grouping that emphasizes the close relationship among the species of these two groups.

I just write this of Mary Leakey:

Mary Douglas Nicol was born on February 6, 1913. Her father, Erskine Nicol, was a popular landscape artist, and Mary spent much of her childhood in Europe, especially in the Dordogne and at Les Eyzies, a region rich in prehistoric art and archaeological sites, topics in which Mary became interested. Her idyllic life was shattered in 1926 when her father, to whom she was exceptionally close, died, and Mary and her mother moved back to London. Attempts to give her some conventional education failed when the rebellious girl was expelled from two Catholic schools. In 1930 she began auditing archaeology and geology university courses, and she worked on archaeological digs and as a scientific illustrator. She met Louis Leakey in 1933 at Cambridge, and soon began an affair with him. On his next expedition to Africa, she arranged to meet him there, travelled home with him, and soon moved in with him. After his wife Frida divorced him, they were married in late 1936. She returned to Kenya with Louis the following year, and in the subsequent decades worked in many excavations. An important discovery of Mary's was the first fossil skull of the extinct Miocene primate Proconsul. Mary primarily worked as an archeologist rather than a physical anthropologist.

In 1959, Mary found the "Zinjanthropus" (Australopithecus boisei) fossil which was to propel the Leakey family to worldwide fame. From the mid-1960's, she lived almost full time at Olduvai Gorge, often alone, while Louis worked on other projects. She and Louis grew apart, partly because of his womanizing and partly because Louis was dividing his time between many other projects. In 1974, she commenced excavations at nearby Laetoli, and in 1976 her team found huge numbers of animal footprints that had been fossilized in ash deposited by a volcano. In 1978 they found what would be her greatest discovery, adjacent footprint tracks that had been left by two bipedal hominids.

In 1983, Mary retired from active fieldwork, moving to Nairobi from Olduvai Gorge, where she had lived for nearly 20 years. She died in 1996 at the age of eighty-three. Although it was Louis Leakey who was the more charismatic and well-known figure, Mary became a famous scientist in her own right. Although she had never earned a degree, by the end of her life she had received many honorary degrees and other awards. It is generally agreed that Mary was a better scientist, far more meticulous and cautious than the often reckless Louis. Her prodigious achievements in archaeology make her a giant in the field.

Answer 8

stop cheating in class.

(e) all of the above steps are used by archaeologists.

2. is homo sapiens, but if i had to choose one it would be (d) sapiens.

(c). they were paleoanthropologists who made significant finds of early hominid species.
