yeah same i talked about dating + comparing with previous species via the comparison of brain capacity, bone size ( i.e to gauge height), etc.. etc.. etc.. that sort of stuff..

i was supprised there wasnt like a classification table in there somewhere either for like Apes, New/Old World, Humans, Prosimians, or with Austro's, vs Homo's etc.. but yeah .. lots of guys from my school thought the paper was fairly broad not very specific to biology..

what did everyone else think?

Talked about how we can obtain photographs, diagrams, models from journals, encyclopaedias, Internet etc etc to compare... then went on to first hand investigation - dating, visual comparisons with fossils, biochemical methods to test for DNA similarites.

it was alright, all depends on how well i wrote my answer, probly won't end up getting 6/6 marks- terminology wise, hopefully 5/6 rofl.

yeh i thought they would have the comparsion of new/old world monkeys as well, cos they haven't had that for while
