Question

Question 1: Use specimens to fill in the following table. Provide the specimen name(s) that you are using as a reference for each species (Homo species only). For most questions provide a briefdescription of the trait (1-2 sentences at most). For questions that ask about presence of a trait, simply indicate if this trait is present or absent for each species. For some questions, you may find it helpful to rank the trait across the species. I have started a few of the chimpanzee trait descriptions for you.

	Chimpanzee	H. habilis	H. erectus	H. heidelbergensis	H. neanderthalensis	H. sapiens
