Activity description:

You are the product of billions of years of evolutionary change! Approximately 10 million years ago, our ancient ancestors split from the ancestors of modern chimpanzees. This led to the evolution of many different species in the hominin lineage. Ultimately, one species was left standing: Homo sapiens! Join anthropologist Lindsay Barone to explore the hominins one-by-one in the DNALC Live series Species Shorts.

In Episode 3, you will:

• Learn about the most complete early hominin ever discovered
• Explore the transition to walking upright
