During this fall semester, our Science National Honors Society visited Arizona State University to learn about Human Origins. This in depth discussion was led by an University student that shared the story of how we became human. There were multiple molds of different species skulls. We talked about the differences and close similarities each one had when compared side by side. Some major differences were the nasal cavities and the area behind the eyes. Each different aspect helped the species in that way, such as the gorilla. The gorilla has a large jaw that helps it crunch down the mass amounts of food it has to eat everyday, while the human had a smaller jaw because they don’t put so much work into chewing. Overall, this was a great experience, because the graduate student there was able to answer all of our questions and furthered our understandings of Human Origins.
