Branches of evolution


I'm sorry that there's really no way to put up here the "trees" that the first group made out of sticks and cards (although we do have the pictures that Professor Grobstien took). I really enjoyed that presentation-- at first it just seemed fun, and also funny, and I wasn't sure how it would take ten minutes. But I didn't get bored with it, because the longer I looked the more I saw there. If it had been shorter I wouldn't have had a chance to read and look at as many of the cards. While I don't think it covered the whole course (becaue none of the presentations could) and it wasn't an idea I would ever have come up with, I like that it brought us back to the biological evolution, which is where this course started, and reminded up of the complexity of that.
