Discussion

• Why did I have you read this?

Haeckel’s Phylogeny

• What is wrong with this tree representation of evolution?

“No single species is a Mount Everest of the rest”

• Humans have their own evolution along with millions of other species

• All adapted in their own ways to their own environments
