Paleoanthropology – the study of fossil hominins – continues to make headlines. Often I feel there’s a new story coming out every week! So let’s explore some of the most recent new discoveries.
Follow the links provided below to investigate the studies making headlines in the world of anthropological research today. Pick one news item related to human evolution to share with the class. The story you choose does not have to be about a fossil hominin, but it MUST be related to human evolution. In addition to the link to your news story, your post to the discussion board should include three elements:
Provide a short summary of the study
Describe how the study fits into what we’ve covered in this class
Explain to your classmates why you found that new discovery so fascinating
You are allowed to directly quote the article in your summary, but be sure to use quotation marks if you do. Otherwise, you are plagiarizing. Also, your summary should be more than just a quote from the article.
