Summation paper

This is a summation document so there is no right or wrong answer but I do want to see that you put some serious thought into your response.

I have found that a great many people know very little about human evolution. There tends to be more fiction than fact out there. Other than a few bits of historical fact and fiction (mostly concerning Charles Darwin) many people have a poor understanding of the historical development of the concept of biological evolution and the Western World’s concept of time.

1. Briefly summarize your understanding of the concept of human evolution and geological/archaeological time before you took this course. I expect your answer to be at least 2 pages and no more than three.

2. How have your concepts on these subjects changed having taken this course?

-What are the TWO most interesting ideas that you have gleaned from the readings or lecture material? I expect your answer to be at least 2 pages and no more than three.

3. Has any information touched on in this class made you think about taking any further course work in the subject area?
