Evolution
Guided inquiry, myth 3
Your team will deal with Statement 3: Evolution follows a preordained, straight path (or if human evolved from apes, why are there still apes?)
Read the text carefully. Identify and document the arguments put forward by the authors to support their point of view.
Questions: Does evolution follow a preordained, straight path? If a species evolves from another species, does this mean that the first one should become extinct?
To check the above question, the following bibliographic sources are suggested:
- Ιf human evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?
- Why Are There Still Monkeys?
- Evolution doesn’t proceed in a straight line – so why draw it that way?
- Explore the Tree of Life
- The Tree of Life
