Document Summary
Week 4 - the place of humans in evolution (chapter 3) Diagrams, charts, tables, graphs (beginning with 3 from chapter 2) diversity and complexity. Can simple get simpler? diversity and complexity directed claims of. More recent representations of human"s place in nature when did the dinosaurs go extinct, and why?! Fig 3. 3 - all of the things that are living. Waldo-sapiens - by the star (all of the animals are there) Not placing a lot of emphasis on the above diagram ( g. Idea of things getting more complex - that"s not really what is mapped. Looking at a relationship of dissent and of time. Complexity may be a byproduct of evolution, but not necessarily. This representation is lines of dissent (or ascent going upwards from common ancestor in. A basic diagram the middle) to the animals that are alive today. If we were looking for a true representation there would be many more branches that terminate (because of extinction)
