week of 6 October

Hi there,
   So, this week, we will be discussing the six articles that you read and starting our conversation wrapping up the hominin evolution research on Wednesday.  Thursday/Friday I will show you the last episode of "Your Inner Fish" called "Your Inner Primate".

  Here are links from the articles for more information on some of the articles or interviews with different scientists in case you are interested.  Please remember that I am happy to make a copy of any/all of the articles with you.  Or I could share a PDF of all the articles with you if you'd like.
