21. Physical Anthropology
...for the worksheets, resources and rubrics. Below is an overview of the lesson plan. Lesson Objectives to understand and apply various social science research methods ( interview, case study, data analysis, questionnaire, survey etc.) to comprehend the similarities and differences between humans and primates to understand the concept of evolution of humans through the use of physical anthropology by focusing on the Donald Johanson discovery of Lucy to understand and apply the concepts related to cultural anthropology (culture, subculture, ethnocentrism, cultural relativism etc.) to develop quality inter...

Return to List of Lessons Return Home MOLECULAR SEQUENCES & PRIMATE EVOLUTION Amino Acid Differences in Beta Hemoglobins in Primates EVOLUTION Human Evolution Patterns Craig Nelson & Martin Nickels Edited by Larry Flammer Students compare differences in amino acids in the beta hemoglobin from representative SYNOPSIS primates, complete a matrix of those differences, and from these data, construct and interpret cladograms as they r...

23. Evolution Mini-lesson: Classification Intro
.... They then see how living organisms are classified, and note how these natural groupings always reflect about the same ancestral relationships in the same SYNOPSIS nested hierarchies, regardless of the different criteria used. Such patterns are revealed with a look at several phylogenetic trees of primates. Finally, teachers are encouraged to give their students lab experience collecting data from a variety of primate characteristics (skulls, chromosomes, DNA and hemoglobin), to see for themselves the congruency of those data sets. 1. Science deals only with natural patterns and mechanisms 2. The grou...

24. Evolution: Pseudogene Suite - Common Ancestry
...(2 pages) should be printed back-to-back on a single separate sheet, for easy checking. Click here for an animated PowerPoint presentation that nicely introduces the concepts in this lesson, including the One-Gene-One-Enzyme idea, how the GULO gene and pseudogenes compare, and how the inability for primates to make vitamin C points to common ancestry. This link will take you to the script for the PPP and how to request the PPP itself. 1. Students may work alone, or preferably in pairs. 2. Either present the background information included in the Introduction and second section of the Student Handout or...

25. The Great Apes
...on't harm the apes in any way, some people still object to what the scientists are doing because apes don't always get to choose whether or not to participate in the experiments. Debate whether animal experimentation of this variety is ethically appropriate. 3. Describe the major characteristics of primates. 4. Many great novels and classic movies have primates as main characters: Tarzan, Planet of the Apes, King Kong, Curious George, etc. Analyze how apes are depicted in popular culture and compare those depictions to what you actually know to be true about primates. 5. What are the anatomical differe...

26. Molecular Biology and Primate Phylogenetics
...ster-Marx Target age or High school biology, regular, honors, and advanced ability placement level. group: Class time Two 50-minute class periods. Day 1: Students work on required: counting amino acid differences between each pair of organisms and complete table 1, compare gross anatomy of selected primates from reference materials supplied by the teacher, and then begin the discussion questions and identification of organisms on the graph. Students then take home the activity to complete the discussion questions and the graph. On Day 2 the students meet in teams to discuss/debate their responses and t...

27. Evolution: Cladistics in a Bag
...and/or after-lab discussion (also in pdf format) This technique can be adapted to other labs on cladistics that use a similar format to the one being used in this simulation. The ENSI-SENSI site (http://www.indiana.edu/~ensiweb)will have similar labs that deal with other groups of organisms, e.g., primates, in the near future. They will be in the Evolution Lessons, Classification section. This activity was demonstrated in Reno (1998 NABT Convention) using nested cans. These work fine, too, especially as a demonstration. You might try these before, or after students do the lesson with bags. Nested sets...

28. I'm A Fossil, You're A Fossil!
...School HomeThe Practical Web Service for K-12 TeacherswNetStation WNET Educational Initiatives Instructional Television Lesson Plan Database NTTI I'M A FOSSIL, YOU'RE A FOSSIL! Grades 9 - 12 Overview In this lesson students will explore some of the evolutionary changes that have occurred within the primates: monkeys, apes, and man. They will consider some evidence within the fields of comparative biochemistry and comparative anatomy. They will also explore Charles Darwin, the real person as well as the scientist. Approximate time: at least 2-3 class periods. ITV Series ORGANIC EVOLUTION: Program 1: In...

29. Hominoid Skull Comparison
...ore abstractly, I appreciate the power of actually collecting data from physical evidence. In the previous lessons, we have covered comparative anatomy as a line of evidence for evolution by discussion, video, and as it relates to the study of fossils. I have also introduced classification by using primates as an example. I use transparencies and videodisk slides of primate anatomy to illustrate similarities and differences in various primates. As scientists assert that upright walking is the main difference between hominids and hominoid, the foramen magnum is discussed at length, as well as pelvic, le...
