4Vocalization in chimp groups
- Aoccurs only to communicate a food source.
- Bexists only among those high up in the dominance hierarchy.
- Csounds like howls and growls.
- Dis unique to specific groups or regions.
5Sexual dimorphism
- Arelates to sexual courtship rituals in primates.
- Bis the study of sexual intercourse between primates.
- Ctends to be lower than in groups where males disperse and compete with unrelated males.
- Ddetermines male and female social hierarchy.
6Anthropologist Karen Strier estimated that in primates, foraging takes up about
- A10% of waking hours, because primates are so efficient.
- B90% of waking hours, because primates eat such low-quality food.
- C50% or more of waking hours.
- D25% of waking hours.
7The study of primate vocal communication
- Ahas been used to understand the language evolution of all primates.
- Bhas resulted in chimps and gorillas demonstrating an ability to speak.
- Ccan give us insights into the selective pressures that may have shaped the evolution of language.
- Ddemonstrates that gossip is not exclusively human.
8Kin selection refers to
- Anonaltruistic behavior toward other members of the kin group.
- Baltruistic behavior that increases the donor’s inclusive fitness.
- Caltruistic behavior that promotes kin-like bonding among nonkin.
- Dbehavior that increases only the donor’s fitness.
9Polyandrous residence patterns represent
- Aa social grouping that includes multiple adult males and females.
- Bone of the most common patterns in prosimians and Old World monkeys.
- Ca social grouping in which males cooperate in parenting activities.
- Da social grouping that includes one male and multiple females.
10How do primates acquire food?
- Athrough cooperation among kin groups, mostly by hunting
- Bthrough a wide variety of food-foraging strategies
- Cthrough a limited set of highly specialized foraging strategies
- Dthrough the use of highly developed material culture
11In primates, males and females primarily differ in
- Abody and canine size
- Bmode of locomotion
- Ctool use
- Dcolor
12How do male and female primates differ in reproductive strategies?
- AMales and females of the same species usually have different residence patterns
- Bmales compete for mates, while females compete for resources
- Csome males are part of dominance hierarchies, but females never are
- Dfemales typically commit infanticide when a new male enters the group
13a primate's feeding success would be increased by
- Aconsuming large quantities of low quality foods
- Bliving in a geographic region with widely distributed food sources
- Cconsuming a single type of food
- Dmemorizing locations and seasonal availability of food patches
14which statement is false regarding chimpanzee material culture?
- Achimpanzees use tools in the wild
- Bchimpanzee tool use in the wild can be highly specific to a group
- Cchimpanzees can learn tool use from humans
- Dchimpanzees depends on tools to survive
15Which feature of communication is found only in humans?
- Adifferent vocalizations that refer to specific events or objects
- Bmodifying vocalizations based on life experience
- Cusing gestures or symbols
- Dphysical ability to produce speech
16primate societies and social behavior are special because they are highly diverse
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
17Primate communication CANNOT be compared to human communication in that:
for at least some Old World Monkeys and apes, communication seems to be very context dependent, and specific sounds can have different meanings by making small changes; this is like human language- AVerdadero
- BFalso
18Many primate societies are complex and involve their members forming alliances that are formed by sharing food with each other
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
19Altruistic behavior is that which benefits others while causing a disadvantage to the individual
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
20solitary residence pattern is a rare primate residence pattern found only in orangutans and a fellow strepsirhines
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
21Sexual Dimorphism does NOT concern differences in traits such as body size and canine size
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
22Availability of food for primates can be highly variable, depending on season and rainfall
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
