Out of Africa

Hybrid theory

Multiregionalism

Neanderthal in the media

Part A

1. Create a list of terms that you associate with the human relative Neanderthal.
2. Do a google image search and create a graphic that represents how you believe the public perceives Neanderthal
3. Create a post/tweet/snap that reflects the popular perception of Neanderthal (this does not require the use of the associated platforms for production)

Part B

1. For each of the stereotypes presented with either the list you have created or from the images you have chosen to use attempt to find evidence that would refute or rewrite our understanding (misunderstanding?) of Neanderthal.

Final Assessment

Part 1.

Create an artifact to illustrate human evolution.  This artifact should clearly demonstrate what theory you believe(out of africa, multiregionalism, hybrid theory) . Included should be a clear understanding of the process of evolution, the timeline that this process occurred on, the evidence to support your argument and a description of how this is represented in the modern population(lactase persistence, language development, brain development, abstract/cultural development).

Becoming Human

Examining evidence.

1. Using the interactive found here create a graph that illustrates the relationship between human history and brain size.
2. Based on your research within the interactive examine 2 other factors that show a relationship between evolution and who we are today. Create a visual (infographic, graph, map ...) that shows this relationship.

Nina Jablonski-Ted Talk

To achieve the equilibrium five conditions must be met:

• Population must be very large.

• Population must be isolated from other populations (no immigration or emigration).

• No mutations.

• Random mating.

• No natural selection (i.e. every individual has an equal chance of survival)

3. Answer

Explain how the evolution of human skin color illustrates the principles of microevolution.  Include in your discussion how each of the points of the Hardy Weinberg equilibrium model are represented in the evolution of skin color. Site specific examples for each on the points.
