WHY CHAPTER 2 ??? Maybe not one of the most popular chapters, but I think one of the most important that will be covered throughout this course. Many reasons could be listed, but to keep it short, where we began to where we are now, is one phrase to summarize Human Origins. Not to mention a lot of unknown happenings & findings are discussed. While reading through the information provided in the book, I definitely have a better understanding of our  physical characteristics , cultural sophistication, and the many debates that are brought upon this topic. Lastly, as you browse through this blog, you will discover supporting material I have researched to make it all possible...

Already known, their are many different theories on human evolution, but all seem to originate from very few concepts, apes being one of them. I found interest in this news article from BBC., because it basically sets the foundation on why we as humans have survived and will  continue for years to come. As one reads the article from BBC news, they'll get a better understanding on why I've chosen it for the particular material.

Human Evolution can be shown in many different settings. However, Human Origins displays the topic in a more interactive manner, and I've found this to be good & fun learning tool.

Timeline of Evolution chart in short gives more detailed information. In specific, timeline of human species, major events surrounding our growth and possible line of descendants of human beings in the present day in age.

“Education...beyond all other devices of human origin, is a great equalizer of conditions of men --the balance wheel of the social machinery...It does better than to disarm the poor of their hostility toward the rich; it prevents being poor.”
