Since the last exam, we have built on the concept of derived and ancestral homologies. Pick a primate category, and explain how we can use derived traits to define that clade. (make sure to explain why we say it’s derived)

Using the same example above, why are those traits not useful at defining groups within the clade? 

Using the concept of inclusive fitness, explain how an individual can be reproductively successful even when they have no children themselves? Make sure to explain what inclusive fitness is (explain the concentric circles)  

Which of the following characterizes hominoids [1].

Lemurs are found [1].

Which of the following is NOT a cercopithecoid? [1]

A grouping of 2 or more males to one female is called [1].

Primates possess [1], whereas most other mammals do not.

Dawin’s hunting hypothesis, Robdmans and McHenry’s patchy forest hypothesis, and Lovejoy’s provisioning hypothesis are three very different explanations to explain what? [1]
