Locate and read a recently published journal article (something that has a print version), describing a group of fossil hominids. (ex: National Geographic)
Write a short paper (about 2.5 - 3 pages) addressing the following points:
- Who wrote this article, what is its title, and where and when was it published?
- Write a brief summary of the discovery being presented.
- Does this article help explain human origins? If so, how?
- How does this article illustrate the strengths and weaknesses of the scientific method?
- In your opinion, what is the most important point made in this article? Why is it so important?
Rules
Article must have had a print version. Must be a full-length article, not just an online News article. If you need help distinguishing between the two, ask me.
No plagiarism. Don't copy sentences directly from a source. Even a sentence that is slightly modified is considered plagiarized. Always write your own sentences.
Normal margins, 12 point font, Times New Roman. Reach the page count. The biggest loss of points on these assignments is due to length.
No direct quotes of sources. This is a writing assignment, not a quoting assignment. =)
