In 2003, scientists announced the 1997 discovery in an Ethiopian valley of three anatomically modern skulls-two adults and a child. Known collectively as the Herto skulls, they were dated by researchers to 154,000-160,000 B.P. All of the following clues suggested these skulls were in fact of anatomically modern humans, EXCEPT
A. evidence of the skulls' cutting and handling, suggesting they had been detached from their bodies and used-perhaps ritually-after death. B. their long and broad midfaces. C. their tall and narrow nasal bones. D. their tall and narrow sagittal crests. E. their high cranial vaults, falling within modern dimensions.
Charles Lyell's 1865 book The Geologic Evidences for the Antiquity of Man was important because it:
a. Documented the fact that humans had lived with now-extinct animals in the distant past. b. Provided evidence that humans had been on the earth for a far shorter time than other scholars of the time suggested. c. Argued for an extremely young age of the earth (not more than 6000 years old). d. Finally showed that the "ancient ax heads" discovered in river gravels were nothing more than naturally fractured river cobbles. e. Showed that the remote antiquity of humankind would not be accepted by the scientific community

How does a big man increase his status?
A. Big men are village heads who are trying to turn their achieved status into something more permanent; the standard way of doing this is through conspicuous symbolic displays of wealth. B. The term big man refers to the liminal state a Kapauku youth enters before marriage; he accumulates wealth as a way of funding the wedding and paying the bride price. C. Big men are typically war leaders, and as such must have a standing supply of "grievance gifts" to compensate the families of warriors who die under their command. D. The primary means of becoming a big man is the wearing of a tonowi shell necklace, which is imported from the coast and is therefore quite expensive by Kapauku standards. E. Big men do not keep the wealth they accumulate; instead, they redistribute it to create and maintain alliances with political supporters.
