This unit was all about constant change. We learned that population are always evolving and there are many different factors that can cause this. Darwin was a very important scientist, who made significant conclusions about natural selection. He also discovered that natural selection is the cause of evolution. The hunger games lab was a very hands on lab that was able to help illustrate the concept of natural selection. We learned about the different pieces of evidence for evolution, like fossils and homologous structures, and how there are other factors and selection that can lead to evolution, such as genetic drift and directional selection. Lastly, we looked at the big picture by learning about earth's timeline and how earth formed, which gave us a scale on which all the previous topics have happened.
In the future, I would like to learn more about the evolution of different specific species. I especially want to learn more about the evolution of the human species, and the evolution of human populations in the area where I live, or in different countries. I wonder what species and populations have been evolving in the area where I live, as there is a lot of different animals that live near me.
In order to be assertive, I have been trying to reinforce in my head what it is that I really want or want to ask for. I need to work on my confidence when asking or saying something, as I am sometimes scared that I might offend someone or my words may be taken the wrong way.
