Most fossils are formed of the______ parts of an organism
Biologists and Paleontologists see in modern and fossil forms what appears to be the development of armaments on one side which provokes a defensive reaction and stronger armaments on the other side. This evolutionary one-upmanship is called ______________________________.
I would like you to assist me in setting up a dating profile on Hominin (homo sapien).
Would you date a hominin? Australopithecus afarensis is famous thanks to Lucy, but Paranthropus robustus could be a diamond in the rough!
Once again, let's have a little fun with this learning activity. Showcase your knowledge of the important attributes of one of the fossil hominins covered in this Unit by writing a dating profile for one. Creativity is welcome and encouraged! But all of the responses on this dating profile should relate to/be unique to the fossil hominin you choose. There must be good reasons for your answers that relate to the morphology, physiology, behavior, and/or environment of your chosen hominin. Have a short introduction of Homonin you choose, and answer the questions below:
What are your best physical features and why?
What are your special skills and/or favorite hobbies?
What are you looking for in a partner?
What is your favorite food?
What are you…

It is only the second fossil of its kind. It shows an animal that had a long-feathered tail and small teeth, like non-avian dinosaurs. But the animal also had flight feathers and wings, like modern birds. The fossil also shows a fused clavicle bone, which confirms the relationship between birds and dinosaurs because they are the only two groups with this characteristic, What is true about this scenario?
