Question
Answer
Paleoanthropology   (prospecting for fossils) Systematic study of fossil evidence for human evolution (Artifacts, traces, impressions and fossils included)  
🗑
Archeology   looking for new fossils  
🗑
Lab Analysis   using old fossils and techniques to stimulate new hypotheses analyzing the physical characteristics  
🗑
Jean B. Lamarck   Inheritance of aquired characteristics was the right idea VOLISM: determination to develop fitness over life span CANNOT be passed on to offspring WRONG IDEA, difference between sex cells vs. Body Cells  
🗑
Adaptive Radiation   Species separated by genetic reproductive boundary that hinders the ability to mate successfully with other species  
🗑
Community   Share common genetic resources  
🗑
Separation   Inability to mate with other groups  
🗑
Allopatric Speciation   Geographic Isolation -> Reproductive Isolation  
🗑
Micro-Evolution   Evolutionary gene changes in frequency within populations by generations  
🗑
Macro-Evolution   Longterm evolutionary changes as a whole unified population  
🗑
Mophology   Typological species concept physically based distinguishing traits  
🗑
Graded   Boundaries between species are arbitrary Anagenesis vs. Cladogenesis  
🗑
Anagenesis   (single)  
🗑
Cladogenesis   "Clade": Boundaries between are well defined  
🗑
Homology   Similar morphologies shared by 2 species DUE TO COMMON ANCESTORS ex. Humerous Bone: Forelimb pattern of design is common but different functions  
🗑
Analogy   Similar Morphology shared by 2 species BASED ON FUNCTION -feels more coincidental (ex. Brid Wing, Insect Wing, Bat Wing all developed to fly but common ancestor didn't have wings)  
🗑
