Hominid Migration Map


(30 points)
PURPOSE: You will determine the location of a sampling of hominid fossils to infer a continent
of origin and a likely path of migration from that point of origin. You may use a world map or
atlas to help you locate the continents and countries if needed.

DIRECTIONS: Examine the data below and plot each coordinate on the world map on the next
page. Though this list is not an exhaustive list of all fossil hominid discoveries, it is accurate in
terms of general trends of distribution and density within given regions. Mark your map by
using the code: "1" for Austalopithecines, "2" for Homo erectus, "3" for Homo
neanderthalensis, and "4" for early modern Homo sapiens. Write the numbers directly on your
small personal map. After plotting the coordinates, answer the questions on the 3rd page.

HINT: Lines of longitude run vertical and degrees listed as East or West. Latitude lines run
horizontal and degrees listed as North or South. Sites are usually named after the location
where the fossil was discovered or for the scientist who discovered it.
DATA: Type of fossils found (age in millions of years ago): location in degrees east or west
longitude and north or south latitude, and name of site)

Hominid Migration Map


QUESTIONS (10 points/each) :

1. How many years ago is .3 million years?


0.3 million years= 300,000 years ago

How about .02 million years?


0.02 million years= 20,000 years ago

2. Australopithecines remained in what continent?


In Africa continent.

3. Why have scientists concluded that Africa is the "birthplace" of humanity?


Because Africa has the oldest fossil related human with Homo.

4. Neanderthal seems to be most prominent in which area of the world?


Neanderthal seems to be the most prominent in which Europe of the world

5. Early modern Homo sapiens were the first hominids to enter into which continent(s)? Choose
one and infer a possible path of migration.
In Europe

6. Where is the greatest coexistence between Neanderthals and early modern Homo sapiens
likely to have occurred? Explain how this may have contributed to the extinction of
Neanderthals.
There are nearly when Eurasia or between Europe and Asia. They were stockier and
shorter than us, but their brains were almost as large. They made and used
sophisticated tools, used fire, lived in shelters, and buried the dead.

7. Describe the overall migration pattern of humans and other hominids based on the data that
you plotted on the map.
They migration Africa to Europe and Asia first and then they migration to Australia with
early Homo- sapiens.
