Consider this scenario: While excavating in a cave in Spain, you discover an entire group of fossilized individuals dating to ab

out 49,000 years ago. There are cut marks on the bones of the archaic humans that match in location to the cut marks on the bones of deer, aurochs, and wild boars. It is a mixed group of males and females, with some small children as well.
Their skeletons show these characteristics:
A) Their skulls are larger than average Homo sapiens sapiens, and they have a pronounced occipital bun, heavy brown ridges, cheekbones that slope sharply back from their enormous nasal aperture (nose hole). They have a sloping chin with no bump. Their skulls show they were bipedal.
B) Their bodies were very short and heavy, with massive muscle attachments and thick bone.
C) The DNA was recovered, and the males all had the same mitochondrial DNA, while the females had different mitochondrial DNA.
D) Mousterian stone tools were found in the cave, and were apparently used to make the cut marks. One of them miraculously had DNA still on it from a blood stain on the grip segment, and while the nuclear DNA on it didn’t match any of the skeletons that were found, the mitochondrial DNA did match up with one of the females.

2) Where are you least likely to find other examples of their genus and species?

Lunna [17]

<u>Answer: </u>

While introducing and explaining the relationships between anatomy and physiology, most time would be spent talking about the organ systems.

Explanation:

  • Anatomy and physiology are two disciplines that serve as the soul of medical sciences.
  • The common ground for both disciplines is the study of organ systems within the human body as anatomy is the science that dispenses information about the organs and their functions separately and physiology is the discipline in which the functional correlation between the organs is studied.
