Today for biology we visited the Natural History Museum and learned about the evolution of man. I learned a lot about the Neanderthal people that I didn’t know before. Scientists have recently studied the DNA of Neanderthals and found that there is no genetic link between Neanderthal and modern humans. It is likely that we had a common ancestor but we have no direct link to them. I also found it very interesting that they buried their dead and probably had some sort of belief in an afterlife.
After the evolution exhibit Laura, Catherine, and I explored the rest of the museum and saw a life size model of a blue whale. It was huuuuuge! There were lots of darling school children there venturing through as well. I love their uniforms. I felt like I learned a lot here and definitely want to come back to see the other exhibits.
