Reflection Paper

In my Anthropology 1020 class, walking in I was very perplexed about

a lot of things we went over, but as I am leaving this class, I feel as if I
learned quite a lot in the semester, but the one question I had was the
unanswered questions, which was like What caused our ancestors to
move away from trees? just questions to what was the driving factor to
humans branching off from our Primate ancestors.
My AHA moment was when, I found out about humans deriving from
Apes pretty much, I knew there was a big debate on that portion, but without
actually taking an Anthropology class, no one would of knew, but that
basically was my AHA moment, it confirmed what I believed.
I would tell this Student that Biological anthropologists view the theory
of human evolution view it like a religion, each and every one of these
scientists devoted their lives work to it to figure out what was this thing
called Evolution.
