1. Why are anthropologists so excited about finding evidence of burials or personal
adornment in the fossil record? Why is there a time lag between the appearance of
modern human morphology and the appearance of the complex symbolic behavior we
associate with modern humans? Is there an evolutionary explanation for this?
2. What role do popular misunderstandings about biology and genetics play in modern,
everyday conceptualizations of human differences and “race”? First identify two
misunderstandings and then explain how they could be dispelled using evidence from
modern paleoanthropology.
3. Consider the following statement, “The discipline of anthropology focuses on a biocultural
approach to explain human diversity, past and present.” How would you explain
this statement to someone unfamiliar with the discipline of anthropology? What
examples would you use?
