This resource contains everything you need (engaging PowerPoint, FREE guided notes, aligned interactive WebQuest) to teach Hominin (formally hominid) evolution (I do it in a 90 minute block class). Topics discussed are what makes humans similar and what makes them different from other primates, pieces of evidence scientists use in this line of study (fossils and the molecular clock), major developmental milestones in hominin evolution (bipedalism, increased brain size, decreased jaw size, tool-making), and some of the major transitional species (Australopithecus, Homo habilis, Homo erectus, and Homo neanderthalensis).

What You Will Receive: (all resources are 100% editable)

  • The PowerPoint in PPTX format with 26 slides of content (please preview the entire PowerPoint above in the thumbnail section)
