This week in class we switched groups in the evolution experament and we discussed how to classafy diffrent things. We also went over what Carl Linne did in history. Then on friday we went over some videos about what religion did when the theory of evolution was trying to be brought to schools across America.

This week in class we've been going over more of the evolution of humans. So I was going to write about the new fossol they found that is beleaved to the missing link.
