5LittleMonkeys Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 She is in 10th and has read a lot about the basics of evolution...natural selection, micro evolution, etc. She wants to learn more about the specifics of the evolution of the human species.

Jen in NY Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 http://www.hhmi.org/biointeractive/browse?field_bio_format_type%5b0%5d=23448&field_bio_biointeractive_topics%5b1%5d=23477 There is lots of free, streamable material about evolution at HHMI. One series in particular is entitled: Bones, Stones, and Genes: The Origin of Modern Humans. We have enjoyed many of the HHMI materials over the years!

Crimson Wife Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 National Geographic had a short but interesting article on the Denisovans in the most recent (July '13) issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetC Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Not specific to the human species (though there is some), but the Nova episode "What Darwin Never Knew" discusses broad effects of evolution on biological research. The title refers mainly to the modern ability to sequence DNA but also covers things like new fossil finds, etc. --Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 There was recently a great miniseries on PBS/Nova called "Becoming Human" on this topic. When trying to google it for you, I also found this interactive website: http://www.becominghuman.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhschool Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I was just looking at a Teaching Company catalog today and there were two courses on evolution. I don't know if it's "the latest," but those courses tend to be up to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
