-Museum of Man-
I was absent yesterday but I did go to the website to take notes. I found out things that I didn’t know such as the “4 Million Years of Human Evolution.” In Primate Hall, there are fossil records that tell us that there has been human evolution in the past. The primate evolution story begins with a small shrew-like mammal that survived the extinction of the dinosaurs about 65 million years ago and was the common ancestor of all primates. It talks about mammals began to flourish after the dinosaurs became extinct.

At Hominid Hall, there are sculptured figures of the process of evolution on display. They represent the life of the Hominid species. They were made by a team of artists for and 1973 movie and were donated two years later. They have been there ever since.
---
In the Time Tunnel, there are descriptions everywhere about the things that were invented throughout time. This museum was about humans and their inventions in the last 40,000 years. It says that humans dominate the world; there are more than 6 billion of us. It also says that 99.9% of our DNA is identical.

I liked these museums because I have never learned about this subject to this certain extent before and I enjoyed it. I hope we could have these field trips every week to a museum that is that interesting.
DNA code for all things in life. They code for traits that effect everything in human activity. Every one has different DNA (except for identical twins) this happens in several way one way when the DNA copies mutate and another trough sexual reproduction in which both parents contribute ½ the Chromosomes (wound up DNA strands) needed to create a life.
We share some common DNA with Bananas (50%), mice (90%), Gorillas (97.7%), Chimpanzees (98.4%). In the theory of evolution the reason that we have so much DNA in common is that we share a common ancestor.
The theory of evolution has two section one more credible than the other. The first is that all organisms share a common ancestor. The seconded is that life evolves as DNA changes. The other is the change in DNA by adaptation and natural selection one more adapt species reproduces more and then has more offspring meaning more are adapted with the survival genes of the parent.
Because bacteria reproduces fast it shows the effect of a changing environment. This means the process of Natural selection is in fast forward with generation changing slightly to mach the environment. Scientist observe the changes by adding antibodies and as the bacteria grows it becomes immune to the antibodies.
IN the theory of evolution the Hominids are the chain from which humans evolved.
Well yesterday I got a lot of info. There were many new things that I learned from the museum. Like all the different ways humans used to be like and how they evolved. Also about the different tools they had back then
What I liked best was the display about modern humans. I liked the way it was set up and how it looked. I also liked the info that was given. Since I didn’t get a good chance to look at it I would like to learn a little more about this display and get to look at all the inventions and advances. So that I can learn more about our past.
For me the display that stood out the most was the one about human evolution. It was probably because I got to see how we used to be and how we have changed. Like I got to see how hairy we were. Also how short we were
DNA && GENES:
NUMbER 0NE: The basis for all life is your personal code and DNA.
NUMbER TW0: You have 99.9 % in common with the person that is next to you, 98.4 % with a chimpanze, 97.7% with gorillas, 90% with mice, and 50% with a banana.
NUMbER THREE: Evolution works like this life evoles as DNA changes.
NUMbER F0UR: Evolution is the organizing concept of the biological sciences.
NUMbER FiVE:The environments selects the trait.bacteria shows evolution in fast forward.
NUMbER SiX:Reproduce rapidly and they show changes in the environment and it is very effective.
NUMbER SEVEN: they are wisemen. there were more like apes then humans.
NUMbER EiGhT:All of our human ancestors are extinct. The hominid evolution story begins more then 4 million years agon
♥ DNA and Genes
What is the basis for all life? DNA
How much DNA do you have in common with other living things?
Gorillas: 97.7%
Chimps: 98.4%
Other People: 99.9%
Bananas: 50%
Mice: 90%
♥ How does evolution work? Evolution is the organizing concept of the biological sciences, and it consists of two parts. The first part is all known organisms are descended from a common ancestor. The second part involves the process of how evolution works.
♥ What is evolution? Evolution occurs as the genetic traits of a population change over time.
♥ Environment
What is the environment's role? Nature "selects" a gene's helpful effects, the process is called natural selection.
♥ How does Bacteria show evolution in "fast-forward"? Some bacteria may have a mutation that makes them resistant to the antibiotic. If so, they survive in the new environment. From these survivors, a new strain evolves.
♥ What are Hominids? Homo Sapiens
♥ What is the Hominids story? The evolution story of Homo Sapiens, in other words, “Wise Man.” The evolution story is almost complete but the evidence from our ancestors is still patchy.
♥ Tell me about modern human? The greatest difference between us and them is the size and shape of our brains. Modern humans are not the peak of a long climb to perfection. We are simply the only hominids left standing.
♥ Future
♥ What are the challenges we will face in the future? Extinction
How will we evolve? We won’t, we will simply go into extinction.
What is the basis for all life?
The basis for life is DNA
How much DNA do you have in common with other living things?
We have DNA in common with:
Gorillas: 97.7%
Chimps: 98.4%
Other People: 99.9%
Bananas: 50%
Mice: 90%
How does evolution work?
All organisms are descended from a common ancestor.
What is evolution?
Occurs as the genetic trait of a population change over time.
What is the environment's role?
Nature can select a trait or weather a gene is helpful.
How does bacteria show evolution in “fast-forward”?
Some bacteria reproduce rapidly and antibiotics do not eliminate them.
What are Hominids?
They are Homo Sapiens they look like apes.
What is the Hominids story?
The hominids are extinct but their story goes back to 4 million years ago.
Tell me about modern human?
Modern humans features are smaller.
Future- what are the challenges we will face in the future?
The challenges we face in the future are extinction.
How will we evolve?
I believe we wont evolve.
Title: About Human Evolution.
Hominids have lived on this planet for more than 4million years.
Homo sapiens have lived on this planet for about 200,000 years.
All the cells in a humans body contains thousands of messages in the genetic code.
Inside each nucleus there are chromosomes.
Chromosomes are strands of long molecules called DNA.
DNA and genes are found in every living thing.
Unless you are an identical twin, your DNA is very unique.
We have about 50% in common with bananas, 90% with mice, 97.7% with gorillas, 98.4% with chimpanzees, and 99.9% with the people.
DNA is the basis for all life. Sections of DNA, called genes, are coded messages that influence everything from the color of your hair, to stomach enzymes. Humans have 97.7% DNA in common with gorillas, 98.4% in common with chimpanzees, 90% with mice, 50% with a banana, and 99.9% with the person next to you. Everyone’s DNA is unique. When DNA copies itself, and there is a change, it is called a mutation. In sexual reproduction, each offspring inherits half its DNA from its biological mother and half from its biological father. Therefore every offspring is genetically different from its parents and siblings.
Evolution happens when the genetic traits of a population changes over time. Evolution consists of two parts. The first is the fact that every living thing is a descendant from a common ancestor. The second part has to do with how evolution works. Some individuals happen to be better adapted to the environment more easily, they are able to produce more offspring. As a result, their genes increase in frequency in the population.
The environments role is that different genes are used to benefit in certain environments. These genes may be harmful, helpful, or neutral, depending on the environment.
Hominids are our ancestors from 4-million years ago. Hominids are more like apes than humans. They had small brains, big teeth, and a heavy jaw. A modern human has a straight face, smooth forehead, a chin, small teeth, a large brain, increased height, sophisticated language, complex culture and technology.
Some challenges I believe we will have in the future will be global warming and mutations. I do not think we will evolve into anything, I think we will become extinct due to violence or a big explosion or something.
