Do Now Which project you are doing: paleobiologist or physical anthropologist? If you chose paleobiologist, read page , Interview with a Paleobiologist and take notes. If you chose physical anthropologist, read page , Interview with a Physical Anthropologist, and take notes. While taking notes, please answer the following questions: 1.What does a paleobiologist/physical anthropologist do? 2.What do you think a typical day at work looks like for a paleobiologist/physical anthropologist? 3.What is the most challenging part of a paleobiologist’s/ physical anthropologist’s job?

Evolution by Natural Selection Check your homework with an answer key Any questions?

Paleobiologist and Physical Anthropologist Project Due Tuesday, October 22 nd End Product: Poster displaying information in a neat, concise format Double check that your poster addresses all criteria required. All text should be typed.

Background Information: What is Plate Tectonics? Millions of years ago, the continents were arranged close together in a supercontinent called “Pangea” Over time, the convection currents of the Earth’s mantle moved the plates apart. What evidence do we have?

Background Information: What is Plate Tectonics? What evidence do we have? – Continents fit together like a puzzle – A small lizard (mesosaurus) was only found in E. South America and South Africa – Glacial deposits were found in tropical climates
