1. Human Evolution

2. Modern species do not descend from modern species!!
It is not monkey to man.
Rather, we share a common ancestor
We’re cousins

3. Cabbage

4. Our family tree

5. De-evolution Branches can be branched even further
Evolution of the genus homo

6. A VERY gradual change
Can’t tell a difference between mother and daughter
Distinct difference between current population and great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents

7. Gradual Change
The intermittent games resemble the games from the same time period
Call of Duty Advanced Warfare
Asteroid

8. Follow current form backwards to find beginning
These are the punctuations. Fossils found that differ significantly
More fossils found that provide the transitional pictures
Don’t include those

9. Speciation
Populations of the same species react to environment in different ways

10. Speciation Populations of the same species may separate
Live in different environments

11. Human Speciation Chimpanzees and Bonobos are our only living cousins.
Fossil record shows many more even more closely related

12. What differentiates us?
Big brains
Thinner/flatter face
Greater wrist flexibility
Bipedal (walk upright)

13. First advances Fossils show that bipedalism was first
Australopithecines walked upright but had apelike heads
Lucy discovered in Kenya
Walked upright, had small brain, fingers were ape-like, hip and knee joins were human like
Fossil record shows intermediary species that are human and ape like

14. Lucy

15. Appearance of Genus Homo
Bigger brains, lighter skeletons, flatter faces, and smaller teeth
