Multiply actual total of 100 possible by 0.75 to get 75 possible points.Extra credit:Potentially you won points by being in classand correctly answering questions aboutthat day’s lecture material.These are simply added to your scoreTOTAL GOING IN TO FINAL: 200 pointsDivide your score by 200 to find your percent/gradeNo making up work not done by nowWorksheets 9-10 go offline TODAY, Dec. 6,at 10 pm for those who are late in completing eitherWe will have your score out of 200posted on Blackboard soonPlease check your total score and raiseany questions before noon on Tuesday,Dec. 10Final comprehensive examTHIS ROOM, this Friday, Dec. 13 9:00-11:30 am100 pointsWe supply the paperAbout half the questions are from this lastthird of the course, since the last testAbout half are comprehensive questionsraised from your first two testsStrategyRead through the Final exam study guideStudy lecture notes, online worksheets, vocabulary list, and online practice quizzes from this last third of the course. Also takeany review PowerPoints.Take the online practice quizzes for thislast third of the course!I guarantee at least a C on the final examif you learned the vocabulary words!Then review your first two tests and vocabulary lists look up the answers to any questions thathad any red marks from gradingYour T.A. will hold an open study session atThursday, Dec. 12th, 1:00-2:00 pmHamilton 318 (corner Pickens & Pendleton Streets)Giving you a chance to ask specific questionsBring your first two tests, your notes, vocabulary lists, and specific questionsStructure of final comprehensive examination:54 multiple choice, worth 27 points57 matching, worth 28.5 points47 True/False, worth 23.5 points10 name skulls/tools from pictures, worth 5 points3 compare/contrast, worth 3 points12 Short Answer, worth 13 points these range from 0.5-1.5 pts eachTOTAL 100 pointsWhat have we covered since the last test?Archaic and anatomically modern H. sapiensPaleolithic (Lower, Middle, Upper Paleolithic) Upper Paleolithic artPeopling of Australia and the New World Different cultural period terminology in New WorldPaleolithic to early Mesolithic & Paleoindian to Early Archaic societiesHow archaeologists can see religious beliefsRise of early Old World civilizationsHuman diversity Speciation, races, clines Are human races genetic or cultural“Hobbits” and NeandertalsRange of types of human societies egalitarian stratified, hierarchical (chiefdoms, state-level)The characteristics of a civilization (a state-levelsociety) and where the four earliest ones werelocatedModels or hypotheses that will be on the exam:You’ll be asked to explain each. You will alsoneed to know or be able to recognize examplesthat support each.1. Gradualism vs. punctuated equilibrium2. Multiregionalism vs. Recent, Out-of-Africa3. Evolution vs natural selection4. Expensive tissue hypothesisGradualism vs Punctuated EquilibriumModels (both are correct at different times)for the rate of speciationGradualism:Punctuated equilibrium:small changes accumulategradually until you have a new species long periods ofequilibrium (set of allele frequencies stable),punctuated by bursts of changeEvolutionVariations in alleles exist because ofVariation in individuals exists because ofThe allele frequency of a population changes overtime due toA change in allele frequency of a populationover timemutationsexual reproduction: mutation, linked genes,crossing over/recombination, and independentsortingmutation, genetic drift, gene flow,and/or natural selectionNatural selectionVariation exists (see previous reasons)When the environment changes, variationsthat had been formerly adaptive mayno longer be adaptiveOnly those individuals adapted to the new conditionssurvive to reproduce and pass on theiralleles to the next generationNatural selection is one of the mechanismsthrough which evolution can occurIt should be viewed as a conservative forceMultiregionalism vs Recent Out of AfricaHypotheses on where anatomically modernhumans aroseGiven that Homo erectus had first spreadout of Africa and into Asia, southern EuropeThat archaic Homo had also appearedover a broad geographic areaWHO/WHERE became the first anatomicallymodern Homo sapiens?MultiregionalismSays that all those geographically spread-outpopulations of Homo erectus and thenarchaic Homo evolved at about the sametime into Homo sapiensRecent Out of AfricaSays that the first anatomically modernHomo sapiens evolved in Africa, and thenspread out and replaced those archaic Homothat were already spread out geographically elsewhereYou’ll need to know what are the major issuesabout the colonization of Australia1. 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 issuesabout the colonization of the New World:1. When was the New World settled? Beginning to accept at least 20,000 ya2. 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 coast3. 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 meantby the Clovis-First vs the Pre-Clovis controversyClovis-First says that the distribution and spreadof Clovis points (13,000-10,000 ya) across NorthAmerica represents the distribution and spread ofthe original colonists into AmericaPre-Clovis says that people were here before Clovis.So the distribution and spread of Clovis points between13,000-10,000 ya represents the
