question 20

Multiple Choice

Use the following information to answer the question(s) below.
Brown et al. and Morwood et al. reported in 2004 that they had found skeletal remains of a previously unknown type of hominin, now dubbed Homo floresiensis, on the Indonesian island of Flores. These hominins were small (approximately 1 meter tall) with small braincases (approximately 380 cubic centimeters) as compared with other hominins. The remains of H. floresiensis were found alongside handmade stone tools and the remains of dwarf elephants that also inhabited the island, suggesting that H. floresiensis was able both to make tools and to coordinate the hunting of animals much larger than itself. H. floresiensis is estimated to have lived at the site where the remains were found from at least 38,000 years ago to 18,000 years ago.
-Referring to the paragraph above, think about the most feasible method to evaluate which other hominin species H. floresiensis was most closely related. You could compare ________.

• A) type of prey hunted by H. floresiensis to that hunted by each of the other hominin species
• B) average body size of H. floresiensis to that of each of the other hominin species
• C) skeletal morphology of H. floresiensis to that of each of the other hominin species
• D) estimated life span of H. floresiensis to that of each of the other hominin species
