Describe their appearance and
expressions.
2. What is happening in the photo?
3. List three things you might infer
from this picture.
4. What questions does the
photograph raise in your mind?
5. Where could you find the answers
to them?
Answer
In the picture, I can see a monkey slowly progressing into a
modern human. As time passes by, their physical appearances
and cognition change as they go through what we call a
biological evolution. The most noticeable changes are the
postures, faces, hairs and body shapes. The picture shows how
the heads gradually change over time, this means that their skulls
and brains are becoming more developed and larger, which gave
humans more knowledge and power compared to other species.
The way they walk becomes better as their postures become
straighter.
The photo represents the biological evolution of humans or
Homosapiens, which includes the physical, genetic, emotional,
behavioral and cognitive changes that took place throughout the
years. These changes may be small or large, visible or not so
visible.
i. Humans’ last ancestors are apes and chimpanzees.
ii. Biological evolution is a natural process that is
experienced by all species.
iii. Humans have gone through a lot of changes so that
they can adapt to the environment around them.
i. When and how did language evolve?
ii. Why did we start walking on two feet?
iii. Do human-like creatures, that also evolved from our
ancestors, exist?
iv. Are we still evolving?
The questions I asked are also big puzzles of human evolution,
they remained unsolved even ‘til today. Scientists have different
opinions and theories towards said questions, I can probably find
answers through the internet when they have come up with a
theory that is accepted globally.
