Human Evolution

[chailinbarroso]

My project is about Human Evolution, but because this such a long project i don't know what experiment use to test my hypothesis. i would also like some ideas to formulate my hypothesis.

Hi,

Here's a Science Buddies project about human evolution: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p019.shtml .

One problem with a project like this is that it's hard to do an experiment--you can't actually observe humans evolve in the time frame you have for the science fair! So, make sure that your teacher is OK with you doing a study where you observe things (like primate DNA) rather than an actual experiment where you manipulate variables.

The project MelissaB suggested is good. Here's another project that might interest you: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p001.shtml

And another: Although the following idea does not have to do with evolution, it does have to do with genetics. You could study how genetics are passed down through fruit flies (they breed quickly and the project is pretty easy to do).

Here's some information about that:
