Part 1. Nefernefuruaten Tasherit was an ancient Egyptian princess. She was the fourth daughter of Pharaoh Akhenaten and his Royal wife, Nefertiti. She was born and raised up in the city of Armana in the land of Egypt in the fourth year of her Fathers rule. As of (In Rupert 67), Tasherit is believed to have died from being stung by a scorpion and died. She is then thought to have been reborn again as a black cat to watch over her sister from the dark forces of Kemkakemet.( In Rupert 67).2. Humans are the only bio-cultural creatures on the planet.

The dynamic relationship between our biology and culture is encoded into our genetics and neural evolution and inherited by our descendants. Part 2 1. Their bodies were short and stockier compared to humans. This characteristic is because of the environments the inhabited. The cold conditions were responsible for their body statue. ("Neanderthals Characteristics Search")Their bodies were built more than humans. It is so as to conserve heat. A characteristic brought about due to their cold environments.

They had a larger skull. It is a variation of the cold conditions the lived-in.2. The metric analysis is applied to bones remains to study them. This analysis involves using a standard requirements recorded for measuring of sizes of bones. In this situation, one would access the bones and try and date the time of their existence ("Spoilheap Archaeology").3. The skull of Homo- Sapiens became small. It resulted from a change in the environmental conditions. Homo-sapiens lived in less cold areas.

The jaws and teeth of Homo habilis were large. It is because the fed on roots and uncooked food. With time, the jaws and teeth became smaller as Homo sapiens fed on cooked food.4. The skull was about 850cc in size. It is smaller than the earlier species brain. It explained that they lived in a warmer region than before.The hole in his vertebrae through which the spinal cord goes has only half as those for regular humans. It explained that they lacked the fine motor control to control speech and were not eloquent like humans.Part 31. DNA is a division of the cell that has vital information that gets passed on from a generation to the next carrying with it the characteristics of the species.2. Reproduction involves the formation of gametes.

The gametes have half chromosomes from the father and half from the mother. It ensures the newly formed species is different from the mother and father(variation). Sexual selection is the differential variances in male and female mating success. Males have higher variances than females.3. Directional selection: this takes place when natural assortment favors one extreme of continuous variation.Stabilizing variation: this occurs when natural selection favors the intermediate state of continuous change.

Disruptive selection: this occurs when natural selection favors both extremes of continuous variation.4. A change in the structure of an organism so as to become suited to survive in a certain environment.5. Mobile lips that they use in feeding and communication situations.They are bipedal to some degree allowing them to walk on two limbs.Have a large cranial capacity and thus high IQ. ("Neanderthals Characteristics Search").6. It refers to practices carried out by early man that is learned by successive generations of species.

A good example is making of tools.7. It refers to the existence of new species from pre-existing ones. Chimps have developed all the way from early Homo-habilis to the present humans. Natural selection has played a crucial role.8. It is where environmental conditions are acquired in our genetic characteristics and then successively passed on to other species.Works cited"Homo Habilis | Hominid :: Behavioral Inferences."
