This PowerPoint is one small part of the Change Topics Unit (Evolution and Natural Selection) unit from www.sciencepowerpoint.com. This unit consists of a five part 3200+ slide PowerPoint roadmap, 27 page bundled homework package, modified homework, detailed answer keys, 12 pages of unit notes for students who may require assistance, follow along worksheets, and many review games. The homework and lesson notes chronologically follow the PowerPoint slideshow. The answer keys and unit notes are great for support professionals. The activities and discussion questions in the slideshow are meaningful. The PowerPoint includes built-in instructions, visuals, and review questions.

18.  Hominini: Any of a family (Hominidae) of erect

Scientists split the Hominoids into two subfamilies: Ponginae (orangutans) and
Homininae (humans and their ancestors, and chimps and gorillas). But, we still
need a way to discuss humans and their ancestors as a separate group, so
researchers have proposed a further breakdown of the Homininae subfamily, to
include Hominini (humans and their ancestors), Panini (chimps), and Gorillini
(gorillas)
