1) Discuss how advancements in hominin tool making provide evidence and information about the evolution of cognitive processes and the brain. Be specific in your discussion of brain structures (areas), processes, and species differences.
2) The evolution of hearing has taken different paths for reptiles, birds, and mammals. Describe the two major adaptations in the evolution of mammalian hearing and discuss the adaptive advantage that was gained by each. In addition, identify the fundamental, most obvious difference between reptile and mammalian hearing systems.
3) Every major evolutionary innovation in locomotion was accompanied by adaptations of the nervous system. Discuss the evolutionary history of locomotion from invertebrates to vertebrates to apes and describe the adaptations of the nervous system that enabled new forms of locomotion.
