End of Course Project

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).

• Examples of artifacts
• Essay
• Timeline and map
• Video
• Podcast
• Social Media
