Discussion
• Why did I have you read this?
Haeckel’s Phylogeny
• What is wrong with this tree representation of evolution?
“No single species is a Mount Everest of the rest”
• Humans have their own evolution along with millions of other species
• All adapted in their own ways to their own environments
