"Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps; for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are and what they ought to be."
-William Hazlitt
I chose this article because I feel that it is important since it touched on a few concepts that we studied in this chapter such as the predecessors of modern humans, human evolution and the existence of an ancestral Eve.

Links: http://www.becominghuman.org/ This site showcases articles and research about human origins and evolution. It is also interactive which gives it a special advantage over other sites.
http://www.creationism.org/index.htm This site reflects the opposing view towards evolution which is scientific creationism. It offers outside links to other creationism sites as well as articles, books and textbooks on the subject.
I chose this chapter because ever since a young age I can remember being fascinated with human evolution, mainly for the “where did humans come from” factor. I feel that overall, human evolution and evolution in general are extremely strong opposing theories to my own personal beliefs in God as a Christian. These contending subjects do add some confusion to my ideals but I think that adds to my fascination. I chose these supporting materials because I think they are good reflections of differing beliefs being that both human evolution and scientific creationism are touched upon.
