1. Are any physical states you observed for these species ancestral or derived characteristics? Explain

2. what conclusions can you make from these observation? what are you the implications of the data you collected?

3.what did the skull proportion and skull and vertebral attachment indices tell you about the type of life these primates may have lived?

4.did any of the hominid species ever coexist? if so, which ones? Did they ever come into contact with each other? Did one die out? if so, why do you think that may have happened? Use textbook and reliable internet sources. Cite your sources in CSE

5.Were any issues with the data that you collected? If so, are there any methods for improvement? Is there any other aspect that you would like to investigate?
