6Ernst Haeckel, the famous German anatomist of the nineteenth century, argued that the orangutan is anatomically more similar to humans than are any of the nonhuman African apes. This led to
- Achanging the species name for humans, temporarily, from Homo sapiens to Pithecanthropus sapiens.
- Bthe search for early human remains in the East African Rift Valley.
- CCharles Darwin’s inspiration to change his theory of human origins.
- DEugene Dubois’s inspiration to search for the earliest human ancestors in Asia.
7During the period 2.5–1.0 mya
- Aseveral hominins, including but not limited to Homo erectus, Homo habilis, and various Australopithecine species, were alive at overlapping time periods, just as earlier periods saw several species of Australopithecine alive at once
- Bthe great diversity of hominins known from earlier periods was quickly trimmed down so only Homo erectus existed, alone, for most of that time.
- Cthere were two species of early hominin, Homo habilis living in Africa and Homo erectus living in Asia.
- Dthere was one widespread species of hominin, Homo erectus, with so much variation that early anthropologists thought there were several species existing side by side.
8Homo erectus fossils date to
- A3–1 mya.
- B2.5–0.5 mya.
- C1.8 mya–300,000 yBP.
- D1.2 mya–800,000 yBP.
9Dubois’s Pithecanthropus erectus finds consisted of
- Aonly skull fragments, so it was not known if Pithecanthropus erectus was bipedal.
- Bonly leg and other body fragments, so it was not known if Pithecanthropus erectus had a human-size brain.
- Ca molar, a partial skull, and a femur, which indicated that Pithecanthropus erectus walked only partially upright, but had a human-size brain.
- Da molar, a partial skull, and a femur, which indicated that Pithecanthropus erectus walked much like a modern human but had a brain intermediate in size between a modern human and a typical nonhuman ape.
10Homo erectus differed from earlier hominids in having traits such
- Aa smaller brain.
- Blarger teeth
- Ca bigger sagittal keel.
- Da larger brain
11What are the differences between Homo habilis and Homo
- AHomo habilis shows a reduction in the size of the face relative to the brain case.
- BHomo erectus shows a reduction in the size of the face relative to the brain case.
- CHomo habilis generally has a greater brain capacity than Homo erectus.
- DHomo erectus generally has a smaller brain capacity than Homo habilis.
12Homo erectus’s cranial capacity
- Ais always less than 1,000 cc.
- Bis always more than 800 cc
- Cranges from 650 cc to 1,200 cc.
- Dranges from 900 cc to 1,200 cc.
13Homo erectus’s high degree of adaptive success is evidenced by its
- Aincreased reliance on material culture
- Bapparent increased intelligence.
- Creliance on unchanging environments.
- Dincreased reliance on material culture and apparent increased intelligence.

- Dsmaller face; bigger brain; and a rounder, larger skull.
18Homo erectus migrated
- Afirst to Europe, then across Asia, reaching southeast Asia last.
- Bfrom Asia to Europe, then Africa.
