Cladograms and Hominid Skulls Unit Two, Day 14 Cladograms and Hominid Skulls
Opener 15 minutes Get out your reading and notes on Hominids Fill out the graphic organizer with your tablemates
Agenda Hominid Skulls Homework: finish study guides Monday: assessment on speciation and cladograms
Questions about study guide?
New Learning Targets I can analyze the data provided by a phylogenetic tree or cladogram to determine the evolutionary history of the organisms described in the diagram In short: I can read cladograms I can use a data set to create a cladogram that represents a reasonable hypothesis about the evolutionary history of a group of related organisms In short: I can make a cladogram
Hominid Skulls
Hominid Cladogram Do: Use the data you collected, and the groupings of taxa you made, to create a cladogram showing the evolutionary relationships between the taxa represented by the skulls First: make a rough draft on a white board. THEN, transfer to poster paper. Hints: Use the fossil data Some of the skulls belong to the same taxon Some of the clades you identified might need further division Looking at which skulls SHARE traits might be helpful
