A. Sivapithecus and Homo habilis B. gracile and robust C. desert and jungle D. northern and southern |
![spacer](images/spacer.gif) 2. Using a computer program for enhancement of the head and face due to aging, Jack Cuozzo has demonstrated that the typical Neanderthal morphology could be attained at present growth rates: | |
A. In a few years B. In a few decades C. In a few hundred years |
![spacer](images/spacer.gif) 3. True or False: Creationists interpret Homo erectus fossils as people (fully man) who lived during the harsh conditions of the Ice Age. | |
True False |
![spacer](images/spacer.gif) 4. The evolutionary lineage of primates shows: | |
A. A tree with clear lines of descent B. A bush with no clear transitional forms |
![spacer](images/spacer.gif) 5. The subtle message of scientific authority is clear: "You can believe in creation if you want to, but the facts are all on the side of evolution." Which of the following has been part of "scientific" thinking which influence society? | |
|
![spacer](images/spacer.gif) 6. We humans are enamored with our ability to develop sophisticated experiments and to process massive amounts of data. Our problem is that our ability to process data has outstripped our ability to evaluate the quality of the data. Computers are not able to generate "truth" independently, nor can they cleanse and purify data. Which article best supports this statement? | |
|
![spacer](images/spacer.gif) 7. Match the species with the evolutionary age. | w. Homo erectus x. Homo sapiens y. Ramapithecus z. Australopithecus | | i. (13 10 million years ago) ii. (4 1 million years ago) iii. (1.6 1 million years ago) iv. Present | | |
A. w. with i., x. with iv., y. with iii., and z. with ii. B. w. with ii., x. with iv., y. with i., and z. with iii. C. w. with iii., x. with iv., y. with i., and z. with ii. D. w. with iii., x. with iv., y. with ii., and z. with i. |
Assumptions regarding Neanderthals: | | i. | Neanderthals were as fully human as we are. | | ii. | They developed as quickly as we do now, or even more quickly (as apes do), but certainly not more slowly than modern rates of development. | | iii. | Neanderthals were probably post-Flood people living in a hostile climate. | | iv. | Neanderthals developed more slowly than we do now. | | v. | Their faces were more protruded than ours are because they were more primitive than we are and closer in relationship to the ape. | ![spacer](images/spacer.gif) 8. Which of the assumptions above are evolutionary assumptions regarding Neanderthals? | |
A. i. and ii. B. ii. and v. C. iv. and v. D. v. only |
![spacer](images/spacer.gif) 9. Which of the assumptions above are creationist assumptions regarding Neanderthals? | |
A. i. and iii. B. i., ii. and iii. C. i., iii. and iv. D. ii. and iii. |
![spacer](images/spacer.gif) 10. Through personal examination of the original fossils (and through the testimonies of others who had described some bones he could not get access to), Jack Cuozzo an American orthodontist believes: | |
|
![spacer](images/spacer.gif) 11. True or False: If a specific form in a sequence turns up woefully outside its proper evolutionary time-frame, the evolutionary sequence is NOT falsified. | |
True False |
![spacer](images/spacer.gif) 12. True or False: The taxon Homo habilis seems to be composed of some australopithecine-like remains and of some modern man-like remains that are supposedly too ancient to be man. | |
True False |
![spacer](images/spacer.gif) 13. Evolutionists claim that when a new, "advanced" population evolves, the pre-existing population is supposed to die out. However, Marvin Lubenow has done an extensive literature search and has discovered that most of the "hominids" existed simultaneously, even in the same locations. According to the Summary Chart (Sidebar 5) there are 18 sites where fossils of Neanderthal, Archaic Homo sapiens or Homo erectus have been found. One of these 18 sites had footprints of anatomically modern Homo sapiens. Of the remaining 17 sites, how many did NOT also have fossils of anatomically modern Homo sapiens? | |
A. None B. 2 C. 5 D. 10 |
![spacer](images/spacer.gif) 14. Creationists believe the factor(s) that could have produced the unusual morphology of Homo sapiens neanderthalensis is (are): | |
A. Several bone diseases B. Cold adaptations similar to Eskimos C. Great ageup to several hundred years old D. Any or all of the above |
![spacer](images/spacer.gif) 15. True or False: Descriptions of the effects of aging on the skull are reminiscent of the description of the Neanderthal skulls. | |
True. False. |
![spacer](images/spacer.gif) 16. According to the Primate Evolutionary Tree Part 2 (Sidebar 3), Australopithecus robustus has also been called: | |
A. Zinjanthropus B. Australopithecus bosei C. Zinjanthropus and Australopithecus bosei D. Zinjanthropus and Australopithecus habilis |
![spacer](images/spacer.gif) 17. Australopithecus: | |
|
![spacer](images/spacer.gif) 18. In this module's video, what was Dr. Gish's conclusion about Cro Magnon man? | |
A. He was very similar to a European man. B. He was a hoax. C. He was "invented" based on a tooth that was discovered. D. He was disease ridden. |
![spacer](images/spacer.gif) 19. The Current Research section discusses skeletons found in Israel. It appears that there are modern skeletons buried beneath more archaic or Neandertal skeletons. Cuozzo believes the explanation for this is: | |
|

|
![spacer](images/spacer.gif) 21. Essay: "An evolutionary sequence is falsified when a specific form in that sequence turns up woefully outside its proper evolutionary time-frame."
