In this class we tried to survey the science of human evolution from a historical perspective - we started in the early/mid 19th century and worked our way to the approximate present. How else could this class be organized? Knowing what you know now, if you were to teach this class, how would you organize it? What are the pros and cons to organizing chronologically (moving forward in geological time) vs historically (moving forward with discoveries)? Is this sort of dilemma unique to the historical sciences (paleontology, archaeology, geology etc...)?
