Evolution Tree

After doing our skull lab, we did a evolution tree as a class. We came up with a tree that had the modern chimp on it's own branch and modern humans on the other side on another branch. The human branch started with the Australopithecus, which went to the A. Africanus and the A. Boisei. Then were the Neanderthals and Homo Erectus. Then came the modern humans and Cro-Magnon man. This tree was supported by the discoveries we made when we studied the skulls of these species and put them into groups by similarities in features.
