SHORT ANSWER TOPICS (2-3 paragraphs)
1. Pleistocene Southeast Asia has provided important archaeological and fossil
evidence for evaluating two competing hypotheses for the general transition from
archaic to modern Homo sapiens across the Old World. What are these hypotheses
called? What kinds of information does each model use? And how does Southeast
Asian evidence support or refute each model? Be sure to support your opinions with
Island Southeast Asian data.
2. Describe the significance of Middle and Upper Pleistocene finds from Southeast
Asia. What kinds of sites and hominid remains were recovered? From where? How
do we date them? How did their study affect global interpretations of human
evolution during the earlier part of this century? Discuss at least two different
hominid- bearing sites and also evidence for different technological traditions in
Southeast Asia during the Pleistocene.
3. Some archaeologists argue that plant and animal domestication developed
independently in Southeast Asia, while others believe it came from elsewhere. Using
the full range of archaeological data now available, summarize at least two
competing models (endogenous vs. exogenous origins) to explain this important
development in the Southeast Asian sequence. What data sources does each model
use? How do they differ from one another? Which side do you prefer, and why? Be
sure to use specific archaeological examples to support your opinion.
4. Archaeologists study the origins of agriculture around the world, and Southeast
Asia offers a good comparative study. Review the late Pleistocene and early
Holocene environment in Southeast Asia to discuss key changes in subsistence and
settlement that occurred sometime after 8000 BP in southern China and mainland
Southeast Asia. What kinds of evidence do Southeast Asian archaeologists use to
examine the origins of plant and animal domestication? Be sure to discuss problems
in the identification of domestication in the archaeological record in your answer, and
to use data from at least three specific archaeological sites as examples.

Could anyone provide what they think wouldve been the most important part about
the documentary on Mau Piailug or do you think hell ask about something technical
like the questions we had on the worksheet? Found the link btw if anyone is
interested in rewatching... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxgUjyqN7FU
