(Public Service Announcement) If you're having a hard time starting your final paper, consulting page 396 might be a good idea

  1. Would you classify evolutionary biology as an easier science to understand, or a harder science to understand? In other words, how would you compare evolutionary biology to the other sciences we’ve discussed in class?


  1. Do you think that this whole book is an argument like Darwin describes it to be? 


  1. In the relation to the discussion about different species’ place in the natural system being lost when modification has caused them to lose all traces of their heritage, what animals do you think could have potentially been once related but are now too modified to trace their relation? 

 

  1. Do you think that there are any animals that could evolve to become as smart, almost as smart, or possibly even smarter than humans?


  1. Since Darwin claims that all beings, which includes humans, descended from a “few beings which lived long before the first bed of the Cambrian system was deposited” (636), what are your thoughts on where we evolved from?
