What This Document Is
This document is an answer key for Exam Two from Emory University’s Medical Anthropology (ANT 230) course. It covers material from Lectures 7 through 12, with specific notes indicating starred topics emphasized during those lectures. The key provides answers to multiple-choice and true/false questions, alongside brief explanations supporting each correct answer.
Why This Document Matters
This answer key is intended for students who have already completed Exam Two and wish to review their performance. It’s a valuable resource for identifying areas of strength and weakness in understanding core concepts related to hominin lineage, sexual dimorphism, bipedalism, and early hominid species like *Ardipithecus ramidus*. It’s most useful *after* attempting the exam, as a self-assessment tool.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This document is not a substitute for attending lectures, completing assigned readings, or engaging with course materials. It provides answers, but does not offer in-depth explanations or alternative perspectives. It will not help a student prepare for the exam if they haven’t already studied the material. It also doesn’t include the original exam questions – only the answers.
