Which hominin species was the first to leave Africa?
Homo erectus? Also, Homo heidelbergensis is the intermediate predecessor to both neanderthals and modern humans, right?
I've come across a NEAP question that required us to know the rough dates of each major hominin species. Is this unnecessary knowledge?
Also, for blood clotting, do we only need to know that platelets agglutinate due to clotting factors?
What would be the selective advantage for:
-the location of the ear bones moving forward
-larger vertebrae (more neural networks?)
Actually, while I'm on that, did the nervous system evolve to become more complex, therefore increasing motor aptitude, memory retention and pain sensitivity? Would increased neural networks result in greater intelligence?
Woah. Sorry about that word vomit of questions
Thanks, guys!
