Question

1. where did the genetic ancestor of all modern humans live? 2. how do people make up for their lack of natural weapons? 3. one particular invention lets us have smaller stomachs - and therefore bigger brains - and functions to protect us from predators. what is the invention? 4. wolves have several advantages in hunting that humans dont, but there is one hunting technique that we share with them. what is it? 5. why were the clothes in this period better than those humans used before? 6. what advantages do humans gain by hunting with domesticated wolves?

Explanation:

1. Genetic ancestors of modern humans are believed to have lived in Africa, especially in regions like East Africa where early hominid fossils have been found.
2. Humans compensated for lack of natural weapons through tools (e.g., spears, axes), teamwork in hunting - gathering, and use of fire for protection and cooking.
3. One invention that allowed for smaller stomachs and bigger brains is likely cooking. Cooking made food easier to digest, reducing the need for a large digestive system and freeing up energy for brain development.
4. Wolves' advantages in hunting include their speed, sharp teeth and claws, and pack - hunting behavior which allows for better pursuit and take - down of large prey.
5. Clothes in the relevant period were better likely due to the development of more advanced sewing techniques and access to better materials like animal furs and plant fibers, providing better protection from the elements.
6. Hunting with domesticated wolves provided advantages such as better tracking ability (wolves have a keen sense of smell), assistance in cornering and taking down prey, and increased hunting range.

Answer:

1. Likely in Africa, especially East Africa.
2. Through tools, teamwork, and use of fire.
3. Cooking.
4. Speed, sharp teeth/claws, pack - hunting.
5. Advanced sewing techniques and better materials.
6. Better tracking, help in taking down prey, increased hunting range.
