Problem 1

Human evolution continues The analysis of tooth shrinkage by C. Loring Brace and colleagues at the University of Michigan's Museum of Anthropology indicates that human tooth size is continuing to decrease and that the evolutionary process did not come to a halt some \(30,000\) years ago as many scientists contend. In northern Europeans, for example, tooth size reduction now has a rate of 1\(\%\) per 1000 years. a. If \(t\) represents time in years and \(y\) represents tooth size, use the condition that \(y=0.99 y_{0}\) when \(t=1000\) to find the value of \(k\) in the equation \(y=y_{0} e^{k t}\) . Then use this value of \(k\) to answer the following questions. b. In about how many years will human teeth be 90\(\%\) of their present size? c. What will be our descendants' tooth size \(20,000\) years from now (as a percentage of our present tooth size)?
