1. If you found an almost complete fossilized skeleton – cranial and postcranial – and it is from a site in East Africa dated to around 4 to 5 MYA, how would you determine if this paleospecies was bipedal? And, if a biped, did they retain arboreal capabilities?
2. Why does context matter when we find a fossil or material cultural items? Why do we “care” about provenience? Also, in paleoanthropology, in fact, in all disciplines of anthropology, how do we “know what we know”? What is the approach used to develop models of past primates ecology, locomotion, social organization, activity, etc. How is it done?
