Paleontologists have studied the fossil record of human evolution just like they have done for other major transitions, including the evolution of tetrapods from fish and the evolution of birds from dinosaurs. In this film, part of the Great Transitions trilogy, Sean Carroll and Tim White discuss the most important human fossils and how they illuminate key phases of human evolution, focusing in particular on three traits: larger brains, tool use, and bipedality.
This set includes the short film, a film guide, several accompanying activities, and a student quiz. The film is available in English and Spanish to stream or in DVD form, which can be ordered free of charge from HHMI Biointeractive. Accompanying resources are provided in PDF form.
This learning set includes the HHMI Biointeractive short film Great Transitions: The Origin of Humans and the accompanying activities, film guide and student quiz resources.
