We are sure that our closest living relatives are chimpanzees. There is a saying that that humans evolved from chimpanzees. Explain why this is not an accurate view of human evolution. In your answer: • be sure to indicate what misconceptions about evolution this view illustrates, and explain why there are physical similarities and differences between humans and chimpanzees (do NOT list the differences, just explain why/how they exist).

With which of the following statements would a biologist be most likely to agree? O Humans evolved from chimpanzees. Humans and other apes are the result of disruptive selection in a species of chimpanzee O Humans and other apes represent divergent lines of evolution from a common ancestor. Humans represent the pinnacle of evolution and have escaped from being affected by natural selection.

Starting with the work of Thomas Huxley, Charles Darwin based his theory of human origins on which set of observations? Since the fossil record known at the time linked humans and orangs, both Huxley and Darwin assumed humans evolved in Asia. O There was an excellent fossil record of human evolution from which Huxley and Darwin concluded that humans had a close evolutionary relationship with the African apes. O Humans are bipedal while other apes are not, humans have larger canines than other apes, humans are tool users, and humans have larger brains. Humans are bipedal while other apes are not; humans have smaller canines than chimps, gorillas, or orangs; humans are tool users; and humans have larger brains.
WRITE ABOUT A THEME: Organization You have seenmany examples of how form fits function at all levels of thebiological hierarchy. However, we can imagine forms thatwould function better than some forms actually found innature. For example, if the wings of a bird were not formedfrom its forelimbs, such a hypothetical bird could fly yet alsohold objects with its forelimbs. In a short essay (100–150words), use the concept of “evolution as tinkering” to explainwhy there are limits to the functionality of forms in nature.
hat I Can Do The evolution of man is one of the most fascinating discussion and discovery in the field of science. Humans as the race that have dominated the Earth and seem to be at the center of it have evolved greatly. Observe the illustration on the left. The common ancestor of the primates like chimpanzees and humans might look like a primitive primate with four limbs on which the forelimbs are used to hang on trees. After some time, the emergence of humans has marked a great change on the history of life on Earth. In your point of view as a senior high school STEM student, are humans still evolving? Provide evidences for your answer.
For some, science and religion seem to be at odds—especiallywith regard to the topic of evolution. Many evolutionary scientistshold religious beliefs. Like many religious people, these scientistsare able to reconcile their religion and their science. Others find thetwo ways of knowing to be in conflict. There is little doubt that aliterate citizen should explore the interface between science andreligion. Regarding evolution, there may be social controversy, butthere is no scientific controversy. 1) Do you think that the exploration of the interface betweenscience and religion should be a part of a science class? 2) why?
In studying recent fossils of the genus Homo, such as Cro-Magnon,biologists have determined that modern humans have not undergonemuch biological evolution in the past 50,000 years. Rather, culturalanthropologists argue that cultural evolution has been far moreimportant than biological evolution in the recent history of modernhumans. What do they mean by this? Support your argument withsome examples.

Microtaxonomy ( Species and Speciation ) People who do not believe in evolution often cite the classic example of man presumably evolving from the apes. They oftern ask: if humans evolved from apes, why are there apes until today? How will you provide a convincing answer that there is no contradiction in the existence of apes and humans at the same time?
Sometimes biologists are alleged to have said that "man came from monkeys." The correct way for a modern biologist to explain the apparent sequence of human evolution is: None of these is an accurate explanation. O humans and monkeys are biologically identical. O humans and monkeys share a common ancestor. evolution leads toward more perfect forms and humans therefore came after modern monkeys. monkeys have evolved less than humans.
Scientists know that the last common ancestor between chimpanzees and humans lived 5-7 million years ago because: O It lived shortly after the disappearance of the dinosaurs at 10 million years ago. O The carliest hominins were found in woodlands The time the last common ancestor existed can be calculated by comparing chimpanzee and human DNA and using a "molecular clock" O Chimpanze fossils first appear in the fossil record 10 million years ago
