How to figure your grades going in to the final exam as outlined in the syllabus 200 possible points so far Final comprehensive exam is 100 points So your total for the course will be 300 points Add together Test 1 possible 50 points Test 2 possible 50 points Movies possible 25 points 4 x 10 pts x 0 625 Online worksheets possible 75 points you will have 1 pt subtracted from the first late worksheet 2 from the second 3 from the third and any further late worksheets were not accepted Multiply actual total of 100 possible by 0 75 to get 75 possible points Extra credit Potentially you won points by being in class and correctly answering questions about that day s lecture material These are simply added to your score TOTAL GOING IN TO FINAL 200 points Divide your score by 200 to find your percent grade No making up work not done by now Worksheets 9 10 go offline TODAY Dec 6 at 10 pm for those who are late in completing either We will have your score out of 200 posted on Blackboard soon Please check your total score and raise any questions before noon on Tuesday Dec 10 Final comprehensive exam THIS ROOM this Friday Dec 13 9 00 11 30 am 100 points We supply the paper About half the questions are from this last third of the course since the last test About half are comprehensive questions raised from your first two tests Strategy Read through the Final exam study guide Study lecture notes online worksheets vocabulary list and online practice quizzes from this last third of the course Also take any review PowerPoints Take the online practice quizzes for this last third of the course I guarantee at least a C on the final exam if you learned the vocabulary words Then review your first two tests and vocabulary lists look up the answers to any questions that had any red marks from grading Your T A will hold an open study session at Thursday Dec 12th 1 00 2 00 pm Hamilton 318 corner Pickens Pendleton Streets Giving you a chance to ask specific questions Bring your first two tests your notes vocabulary lists and specific questions Structure of final comprehensive examination 54 multiple choice worth 27 points 57 matching worth 28 5 points 47 True False worth 23

since the last test Archaic and anatomically modern H sapiens Paleolithic Lower Middle Upper Paleolithic Upper Paleolithic art Peopling of Australia and the New World Different cultural period terminology in New World Paleolithic to early Mesolithic Paleoindian to Early Archaic societies How archaeologists can see religious beliefs Rise of early Old World civilizations Human diversity Speciation races clines Are human races genetic or cultural Hobbits and Neandertals Range of types of human societies egalitarian stratified hierarchical chiefdoms state level The characteristics of a civilization a state level society and where the four earliest ones were located Models or hypotheses that will be on the exam You ll be asked to explain each You will also need to know or be able to recognize examples that support each 1 Gradualism vs punctuated equilibrium 2 Multiregionalism vs Recent Out of Africa 3 Evolution vs natural selection 4 Expensive tissue hypothesis Gradualism vs Punctuated Equilibrium Models both are correct at different times for the rate of speciation Gradualism small changes accumulate gradually until you have a new species Punctuated equilibrium long periods of equilibrium set of allele frequencies stable punctuated by bursts of change Evolution A change in allele frequency of a population over time Variations in alleles exist because of mutation Variation in individuals exists because of sexual reproduction mutation linked genes crossing over recombination and independent sorting The allele frequency of a population changes over time due to mutation genetic drift gene flow and or natural selection Natural selection Variation exists see previous reasons When the environment changes variations that had been formerly adaptive may no longer be adaptive Only those individuals adapted to the new conditions survive to reproduce and pass on their alleles to the next generation Natural selection is one of the mechanisms through which evolution can occur It should be viewed as a conservative force Multiregionalism vs Recent Out of Africa Hypotheses on where anatomically modern humans arose Given that Homo erectus had first spread out of Africa and into Asia southern Europe That archaic Homo had also appeared over a broad geographic area WHO WHERE became the first anatomically modern Homo sapiens Multiregionalism Says that all those geographically spread out populations of Homo erectus and then archaic Homo evolved at about the same time into Homo sapiens Recent Out of Africa Says that the first anatomically modern Homo sapiens evolved in Africa and then spread out and replaced those archaic Homo that were already spread out geographically elsewhere You ll need to know what are the major issues about the colonization of Australia 1 When was Australia settled Agreed by 40 60 000 ya Older is controversial 2 How many waves of migration were there to Australia You ll need to know what are the major issues about the colonization of the New World 1 When was the New World settled Beginning to accept at least 20 000 ya 2 By what route was the New World settled a over land Beringia then ice free corridor b by sea from Siberia down Pacific coast c by sea from England down Atlantic coast 3 Where did people come from Siberia or Europe Do we find similar artifacts earlier in the source areas You ll need to be able to explain what is meant by the Clovis First vs the Pre Clovis controversy Clovis First says that the distribution and spread of Clovis points 13 000 10 000 ya across North America represents the distribution and spread of the original colonists into America Pre Clovis says that people were here before Clovis So the distribution and spread of Clovis points between 13 000 10 000 ya represents the spread of a new technology not the colonization of America there were already people here they just were making less distinctive artifacts than Clovis points What is RACE You ll need to be able to explain the reasoning and evidence for the Expensive Tissue Hypothesis and WHO it is about Homo erectus You ll need to be able to summarize various physical
