Module 14: Human Evolution

 Looking back, I am amazed by how much I have learned in the last few months and how much I still must learn about evolution. Starting the course, I could only define evolution, and today I can confidently state evidence supporting evolution. Like many other science courses I have taken thus far, the material we covered supports the ideas that the process of science is iterative, the process of science is not predetermined, and there are many routes into the process. Science circles back on itself so that useful ideas are built upon and used to learn even more about the natural world. This often means that successive investigations of a topic lead back to the same question, but at deeper and deeper levels. I appreciate the fact I can do some coding and going forward I will be using R for statistical and data analysis. Thank you for a great semester.

    Hi Tashongedzwa,

    I also think its super crazy how much I have learned in this class. The way that we leaned through Rstudio and coding was awesome as well. I also plan on using Rstudio going forward for graphical and data analysis. I hope you have a great summer!

Get to Know Me

  Hello there! My name is Tashongedzwa Mataswa, an international student, originally from Zimbabwe. I am a senior majoring in Human Health Biology. I plan to study podiatric medicine starting next fall. I am most passionate about myself. Self-improvement, and future development are very important to me. Time with family and engaging in volunteer work are some of the things I feel good about choosing to do, not just for others, but for myself as well. Evolution and biology provide a sensible context for one to examine themselves and the larger environment they are a part of physiologically, cognitively, socially, and emotionally. What fascinates me about evolution is the fact that we know so much about it then again, we know so little about it. Evolution can help one know through provided evidence what happened billions of years ago, but it is quite a challenge for one to know most of the bacteria that have lived in humans over time. My roommate's dog that has been bred to rescue he...
