Q Instructions Read: Use the information already part of this class. Review the traits and the species you want to write about. Only use the Explorations textbook, module pages, and links provided on the module pages for your argument. Do not use google or do additional library research. Class materials are enough. Do not use direct quotes, whether cited or not. Everything must be written in your own words. Organize: You will want to present information on the following kinds of traits for both Homo sapiens, your one chosen hominin species, and chimpanzees, in a comparative structure. For example, "Homo sapiens do X" and include a description and details about this. "Homo erectus did X too in mostly similar ways", and include a description of how it is similar or different. "Chimpanzees are different because they do Y." "Given these similarities, I think Homo erectus can be considered the first "human" hominin." Also discuss the selective pressures that favored these traits, and how selection drove the evolution of "human" traits we see today.
