For the final project in this course, you are making recommendations for a museu

For the final project in this course, you are making recommendations for a museum exhibit on human evolution. As the Final Project Guidelines and Rubric document explains, you will step into the role of a biological anthropologist who has been asked to consult on a museum exhibit geared toward younger patrons, specifically high school students. The museum exhibit is entitled “Understanding Humans: How Did We Get Here?” Before you start on Milestone One, be sure that you have read all details of the Final Project Guidelines and Rubric document.
The final project has four total critical elements that will be covered throughout the course. They are titled Impact of Primate Evolution, Hominin Evolution, Impact of Culture and Environment, and Deconstructing Race. For this first milestone, you will work on the first critical element, Impact of Primate Evolution. Your specific goal in this milestone is to teach museum visitors about the impact of Primate evolution on modern Primates.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Impact of Primate Evolution
Identify prominent examples that illustrate major trends in non-human primate anatomical evolution and provide a detailed explanation as to why you recommend the museum exhibit these primates. How do your chosen species demonstrate the major events of primate anatomical evolution?
Analyze the anatomy of your chosen primate species and discuss the relationship between anatomical evolution and modern primate behaviors. What connections can you see between the primate anatomy and modern primate behaviors?
Identify examples from the fossil record that illustrate evidence of the evolutionary split between apes and monkeys and, later, between apes and humans. How do these examples illustrate the major differences between apes, monkeys, and humans today? What are the behaviors of these extinct species?
What ethical considerations are involved in deciding what information or items to display? For example, would it be better to use captive live animals to demonstrate primate behavior versus videos of primates in their natural habitat? Why? Are there any ethical considerations related to how the museum might obtain Primate anatomical specimens or replicas?
