Anthropology

It's amazing how much we  don't know about Human Evolution. Sitting in class at the beginning of second sememster we were told we were studying Anthropology, or the study of Human Evolutions. Going in I didn't realize how ignorant I was on the topic. We were quick to learn that now a days teachers are allowed to teach Human Evolution verses Behavioral Evolution. Behavioral can't be taught in schools, because the Supreme Court ruled that schools cannot promote religion (for example the Adam and Eve story). Today we study Human Evolution and primates to get a better understanding of what our ancestors or cousins could have been like millions of years ago. Some examples are "Project Nim", and "Keeli and Ivy". To chimp experiments that prove today that Chimps are smarter than we give them credit for. Today we are still discovering new fossils changing the way we look at Human Evolution and how far we have truely come. This all relates back to one important thing, our history. We are still trying to put the puzzle pieces together to understand our past fully, but that could still take years. We may never know, but the exciting part is finding out more new and exciting things bringing us closer and closer to truely understanding.
