Today, we began our examination of our early human ancestors. Students worked with a series of primary source documents (news articles) that dealt with a variety of our early human ancestors. Specifically, students used the articles to gather characteristics about Ardipithecus ramidus, Australopithecus, Homo habilis, Home erectus, Neanderthals, and Homo sapiens. Students will be examining the fossil remains of these groups in class tomorrow, and will then use their findings to develop an Ancient Ancestors Brochure. There was no homework given tonight.
