Paleo Project Announcement Day

Today, we reviewed evolution in relation to plants and disease, particularly in fava beans.

Then, we took a short quiz.

The majority of the class was spent picking and working on our Paleo Project.

James and I chose to research early kangaroos.

We have learned that early kangaroos were more like dogs, with 4 legs, claws, and sharp teeth. Here is a picture of a Nambaroo gillespieae:

We also discovered that these kangaroos evolved from possum-like tree-dwelling marsupials in Australia, similar to the one in these pictures:

This is what our research has consisted of so far.

We are continuing to discover new clues regarding kangaroo evolution every day.
