In this lab, we learned that australopiths have larger premolars and molars than humans today. We also saw that within the australopith group, the robust species have even larger premolars and molars than their gracile counterparts. To determine these patterns, paleoanthropologists calculate the surface area (in square millimeters) for the last premolar, first molar, and second molar combined. Use the photos in the Lab 15 Exercise Image Library on p. 448 to calculate this information for the mystery fossil specimens. All photos are shown at the same scale. PROPO Parti. What is the total surface area in mm. of Specimen A? 756 mm2 Part it. What is the total surface area in mm of specimen B? 334 mm2 Part Ill. What is the total surface area in mm of specimen C? 516 mm?
