I have learned a lot in this unit about how animals have evolved from the first simplest organisms. I also go to know a little about how animals and humans could have lived a really long time ago. My favorite activity of this unit was making the transitional species model because it was really cool to try and imagine the kind of animal that could come in between two major animal phyla. Connecting evolution to my heritage is interesting because I realized that I am very distantly related to fish which is very odd. I really liked watching the movies Your Inner Fish, and Your Inner Primate because it was very informative and had extraordinary visual models that really helped me grasp how animals have slowly evolved over time to become what they are today
