The Upper Paleolithic era is characterized archeologically by a decline in symbolic expression, marked by crude stone choppers and an absence of cave art or figurines.

Freckling is a phenotypic expression of a dominant trait [Freckles allele (A); No freckles allele (a)] You have two parents, both of whom have freckles. Parent 1 is heterozygous while Parent 2 is homozygous dominant for freckling. What is the genotype of Parent 1? (yellow cells – one allele per box) What is the genotype of Parent 2? (blue cells – one allele per box) Complete a Punnett square. It should look like the table provided below. Use the ‘table’ function in the text box ribbon to create your own when composing your answer. (Note: Row 1 will include the alleles for Parent 1, and Column 1 will include the alleles for Parent 2; the larger white boxes will show their possible offspring, which will result in exactly two alleles in each box). Using the results of your Punnett Square: What are the possible genotypes and their frequencies?  What are the the possible phenotypes and their frequencies?  To answer A & B, recall that to obtain a frequency you must count each possible unique outcome and divide that summation by 4 (the number of boxes which represent possible offspring).

The shift from foraging to intensive agricultural reliance led to immediate improvements in human dental health, lower infection rates, increased physical stature, and expanded leisure time.
