TEKS 8.10C explore how short- and long-term environmental changes affect organisms and traits in subsequent populations Readiness Standard In this diagram, a hawk is hunting for mice in a field. Some mice are white while others are dark. 1. An organism with traits will survive and passing those traits to the next 2. Which population of mice is naturally selected to survive? 3. What will happen to the white mice population? 4. What will happen to the dark mice population? 5. If a drought occurred and made the environment above lighter in color due to less vegetation, what would happen to both populations of mice?

Human Evolution

Human evolution is the process of evolution of humans from early man to anatomically modern humans. The process of evolution in humans leads to the gradual development of traits like bipedalism. Humans are the highly social animals that make them the most advanced animal on Earth.  Human evolution is an outcome of interaction among the following processes:
