This week in science

during this week in science, we did not do too much due to other things. We first discussed the Lamarkian evolution. This was a theory which if one species uses a trait that it wants, over a long period of time, the trait will become to them and their children will also have that trait. This is partially true. When we want to change ourselves, we must do so to suit our enviornment. We also learnt how we slowly evolved. We started as apes. then went to then centuries from thhen, we have evolved into the walking humans we are today.
The extra credit for this week is what primate do we fall into?
answer: We fall into the higher primates category. this is so becasue we have a more complex brain structure and are therefore smarter. Apes fall into this category too.
 The other category is the lower primates group. this conists of animales like leamurs.
