Hominid Skull Analysis
A fantastic lab for evolution! To me, evolution is a difficult unit for students to have real lab experiences. You can study natural selection through several investigations, but few allow us to take evidence on patterns found in the past. This investigation challenges students to evaluate 6 hominid skills through anatomy observation and measurement using a simple ruler allowing patterns in evolution to emerge. The answer key is provided and follow-up questions ask students to outline next steps
