Discuss Origins and Diversification (what fossil record reveals about early animal evolution and identify environmental and biological factors that may have encouraged adaptive radiation during the Cambrian period.

Animal Evolution
1. How protist ancestor(s) could have given rise to animals
-Using the geological timeline will
help you put these events together to support your finding (Chapter 16.5)
-Make reference to the following to
support your findings: homeotic genes
(Chapter 10.3) comparative genomics and patterns of development.
2. Discuss Animal Traits and Body
Plans (identify features common to all animals and describe some of the ways in
which animal body plans can vary
3. Discuss Origins and
Diversification (what fossil record reveals about early animal evolution and
identify environmental and biological factors that may have encouraged adaptive
radiation during the Cambrian period,

Human Evolution
–
1. According to DNA and fossil evidence, where
were the first bones known to man found and how was it identified (name/location)
–
2. According to evidence, what were some of the
characteristics of the first human.
–

–
3. Based on your knowledge of Evolution do you
think humans as we know now will evolve into something totally different, if
so, explain and give examples.
