What do I know?

I know that primates are extremely similar to us in the way they act the way they do there every day things.But we are still different in some ways like they are covered in fur,they have different ways of showing anger.

What I have learned?

What do I want to know?

I want to know why haven't primates evolved like us yet and why aren't they as smart as us yet.

What action I will take?

How will I learn this information?

I will look on different web sites online and learn more about my topic.

What new questions do I have?

I learned that we evolved differently from other primates because we evolved from a type of ancient ape a super long time ago and they did the same thing but they evolved from a different type of ancient ape. (they,meaning modern apes like monkey and chimpanzees.)

I made a video on youtube for people to see.

I wonder why people still debate about this topic because this seems to make the most sense.

Reflection:

I am being honest it wasn't very fun for a lot of it because I got behind but that is my fault I think if other people can do it then I can try to catch up to. I learned that primates evolved from a different apes then us but we still are similar to them.

This is a really interesting topic to be learning about. I would recommend not saying you are not sure why that dark line is on your graph because then the people watching it are confused. Also what do you find so important about this topic that you think people should know?

Thank you for explaining why this is confusing unlike the other people.

Well, the purpose is for me to learn what I am interested in and to learn new things and it's confusing because that was my first project and I didn't have experience at the time and I know that other people were not so confusing but I think this can be a confusing topic especially when I wasn't used to passion time.

I hope I answered your question Creana.

I this made me wonder what type of ape we evolved from. Another thing to consider is putting the types of apes human, chimpanzees, etc.

This is very interesting and a good topic but could you maybe out this in a way that wasn't so confusing?

Great topic but I would recommend wording it differently.

This was a very interesting topic. It was kind of confusing though, as some information was not supplied in your post. I have a question, are the other types of apes that we did not evolve from a form of past-human evolution? (Homo-erectus, homo-heidelbergensis, etc...)

This made me think about many different things. I like how you have been thinking a lot about this topic and you are doing a great job.

I discovered that we aren't evolved from the same thing as primates great job.

This is great! This is hard evidence on how we are smarter. Also 110% on us just changing and evolving from different animals or primates.

I enjoy the topic, but you may want to word it differently. The way you worded your descriptions made it very confusing. Maybe you could get someone to check your grammar? But, I have always wondered why primates haven't evolved yet.
