Anthro 1 Final (UCLA) Exam with Questions
and Correct Detailed Answers
Upper Paleolithic Tools - ✔✔A wide variety of materials (bone, antler, ivory)
Unclear if associated with humans or Neanderthals
UP Tools used for - ✔✔Trade with wide networks and were transported very long distances
UP Hunting - ✔✔Expanded range (Large herbivore, Fish, Birds)
UP Gathering - ✔✔Wild barley, wheat, pistachios, olives, figs, grapes- although doesn't
fossilize well
UP Shelters - ✔✔Mammoth Bones and skin coverings
UP Life - ✔✔Is better. Higher population, longer lifespan, less trauma & illness, expanded
ranges mean able to cope with temperatures
UP Fashions - ✔✔Made clothes (Needles, awls used) from animal skins and decorated with
beads
,UP Ritual - ✔✔The first example of. Burials common, ornaments and tools found in graves
UP Art - ✔✔Carvings, musical instruments, ornaments. The Cave of Forgotten Dreams.
Humans and Chimps Relatedness - ✔✔1.2%
Humans and Bonobos Relatedness - ✔✔1.3%
Humans and Gorillas Relatedness - ✔✔1.75%
Regulatory Genes - ✔✔control how genes are turned on and off
Heterozygous Advantage - ✔✔The allele that causes a deleterious condition in the
homozygous recessive condition creates an ADVANTAGE for the heterozygote
Example of the Heterozygous Advantage - ✔✔Sickle Cell Anemia
The Ss creates some suckling with leads to a significant resistance against malaria
Lactose tolerance - ✔✔A Mutation of
, M to T in N. Europeans
G to C in N. Africans
Selective Sweeps - ✔✔When a variant is particularly beneficial it will spread rapidly through
the population
Haplotypes - ✔✔Chunks of DNA that moves together
Continuous Variation - ✔✔Example is skin color
Variation in skin color - ✔✔A trade off of the need for Vitamin D synthesis and the
protection from UV rays which break down folate (required for DNA synthesis)
Darker Skin - ✔✔Preserves folate
Lighter Skin - ✔✔enables Vitamin D synthesis
Founder Effects - ✔✔When gene flow is very limited, occurs in a small population
