The answer is the second one: Homo erectus.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Homo astrolopithecus: This is not a recognized species in the human evolutionary lineage. The correct term might be "Australopithecus," which refers to a genus of hominins that lived before the genus Homo. There is no evidence that Australopithecus used fire.

  2. Homo erectus: This species is widely believed to be the first to use fire. Evidence suggests that Homo erectus used fire for cooking and warmth, which was a significant advancement in human evolution.

  3. Homo sapiens: While Homo sapiens certainly used fire, they were not the first to do so. By the time Homo sapiens appeared, the use of fire was already established by earlier hominins.

  4. Homo habilis: This species is one of the earliest members of the genus Homo and is known for using tools. However, there is no strong evidence to suggest that Homo habilis used fire.

In summary, Homo erectus is the species most commonly associated with the first use of fire.

Suppose the total value for a cryptocurrency (in billions of dollars) was 103 in January 2020 and 755 in January 2021. Complete parts (a) through (c). (a) Find an exponential function of the form f(t)=y0 b^t to model these data with t in months, where t=0 corresponds to January 2020. f(t)=103 * 1.181^t (Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the expression. Round to three decimal places as needed.) (b) If the model remains accurate, what would have been the predicted value for May 2021? If the model remained accurate, the predicted value would have been 1467 billion. (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.) (c) By experimenting with different values (or using a graphing calculator to solve an appropriate equation), estimate the first full month in which the value of the cryptocurrency exceeded 460 billion. The first full month in which the value exceeded 460 was in of the year (Type a whole number.)

The energy content of food is typically determined using a bomb calorimeter. Consider the combustion of a 0.34 g sample of butter in a bomb calorimeter having a heat capacity of 2.67 kJ / °C. If the temperature of the calorimeter increases from 23.5°C to 28.0°C, calculate the energy of combustion per gram of butter. Energy of combustion = kJ / g
