Development of Life

Picture
How does life originate, where does it come from, how does it change?  These are all interesting and relevant questions that have pondered scientists since the dawn of science.  Some questions we have been able to answer through collection and analyzation of fossil and laboratory experiments and resulting data.  Others we have clues but are not entirely sure.  In this unit we will examine some of the questions while focusing specifically the scientific evidence for development of life, evolution of hominid species, and topic of phylogeny.
