Humans and evolution

1. Look at the chimpanzee skull. How would you describe the shape of its skull from the side? Is it flat? Sloped? Somewhere in between?

2. Answer the same question for the Australopithecus afarensis skull and the Homo sapiens (human) skull. How would you describe the shape from the side?

3. Now look at the teeth (from the front or the side) of each species. Does the chimpanzee have any sharp or large pointed teeth? What about the Australopithecus and the Human?

4. Lastly, look at the brain case (the rounded top part of the head that holds the brain) of each species. How would you describe their relative shapes and sizes? Are they round? Oval? Small? Large? Describe each species' brain case.

5. Consider the information you just gathered from looking at these skulls. If you had found an Australopithecus afarensis skull in the soil in Africa, would you think that it was a closer relative of our species, or a closer relative of the Chimpanzee? EXPLAIN why you gave your answer.
