PART 2
Short Answer Questions: Each question below correlates to topics covered in your course textbook, slide shows and lectures. Your answers should be written in paragraph form and should use in-text citations.
1. Highlight two arboreal adaptations of primates. Explain how your selected adaptations help primates survive in this environment. (Chp. 6, 3 pts, min 4 sentences).
2. Why are primates social? Think about this question from an evolutionary perspective. (Chp. 7, 3.5 pts, min 5 sentences)
3. Visit the Jane Goodall Institute website -http://www.janegoodall.org/. (Chp. 6 and 7, 4 pts, min. 6 sentences)

b. How can the Institutes research help answer questions about humans?
4. Briefly explain how an incomplete fossil record can lead to biased perspectives of evolutionary pathways (Chp. 8, 3 pts, min 5 sentences). *Specific examples and references to help you with this question can be found on slide 9 and in the Chp 8 lecture.
5. In what ways do dating methods (relative and absolute) support the theory of natural selection and biological evolution? (Chp. 8, 3 pts, min 5 sentences).
6. A skeptic of evolution asks the following question – “If humans evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?” Use your understanding of primate evolution to explain to this individual why their view of primate evolution is skewed.
