Item description

Are you finding it difficult to source good quality worksheets on Human Evolution for your senior biology classes?

This resource consists of eight printable black-and-white Student Worksheets (PLUS Answer Sheets) that will not just save you lots of preparation time but also help your students gain a better awareness and understanding of human evolution, including the significance of fossil discoveries such as ‘Lucy’ (A. afarensis) and the ‘Taung Child’ (A. africanus) in shaping our understanding of the transition from non-human to human species.

Human Evolution covers the following:

• Classification of humans into taxonomic groups.

• Features of mammals and primates.

• Evolution of hominins (erect-walking primates).

• Features of hominins.

• Transition from non-human to human hominin species, and how certain features – such as bipedalism, introduction of meat to the diet and increased brain capacity – lead to major behavioral changes.

• Origin of modern humans (Homo sapiens).

• Change in lifestyle of modern humans from that of hunter-gatherer to farming/agriculture.

• Differences between biological, cultural and technological evolution.

Along with printable worksheets, a digital (PowerPoint) version of this resource is included here at no extra cost, giving teachers a choice as to which they prefer to use – taking into account the different learning styles of their students.

Human Evolution encourages active research and can be used as classwork, homework, revision or even tests. It includes an Answer Key PDF with all images in full color that look great on the big screen and can be used to facilitate good class discussion. Answers provided are also highly detailed, so there is no need to research or fact-check here; it’s all been done for you.

I hope you and your students find this product useful and that you enjoy using it as much as I enjoyed creating it!
