Assignment: What does evolution look like?

Early in the term, I asked you to write your definition of evolution and draw a picture of what comes to mind when you hear the term. The last forum session will be an exploration of how the information from this course has influenced your ideas about evolution, both as a general biological process and specifically human evolution. If you did not have an initial definition and drawing, take the time to consider what your ideas about these topics were before you started learning the course material.

3. Bring a new drawing of what you see when you here the term 'evolution' after learning the course material.
