Field Note Collaborations for Week Two (repond to two peers below)

Field notes are a very important part of anthropological research. Anthropologists use their field notes to make records about what they are seeing and thinking while conducting research. For your collaboration you are being asked to make your own field notes, based on the assigned course materials. Each week, as you read the assigned material or watch an assigned video, you will create a new set of field notes in which you are expected to write down such things as important concepts, things that you might have questions about, or even things that you find surprising or interesting. Just like the notes that an anthropologist makes in the field, your notes must be clear and easy to read because you will be sharing them with your peers in the collaboration

Title of Assigned Readings (including chapter numbers) or Videos:

The Past in Perspective chapters 4, 5, 6

Reflections:

I have now learned that I didnt know now that there were more than just one type of cave man or neandertal. Learning now that the progression of man and how we have some to use tools and innovate is amazing. To think that even then we understood the need for survial

Emerging questions/analyses:

With all of the technology we have now and the use of thermal scanners and electronic scanners why are we not able to find more remians.

With all the theorys out there how are we not able to come to one conclusion on where we came from?

Important concepts:

We have to of come from somewhere and it seems our ancestors have come from Neandertals, exploring how we came about to standing upright, to the tools they used and how were they smart enough to make them in the first place. Also through the use of moder technology we are now able to find out how long ago remains were found and how old the remains were when the person died.
