AS90719+Human+Evolution

**Hi folks,**
====**According to the history the wiki has been forgotten :( so I'm not feeling too inclined to spend alot of time here ... also have a virus on my computer so until i can get this cleaned up at school I dont have alot of access**====

Other links this one about neanderthal

====**I am going to be away from a computer for the next 5 days or so. I had difficulty uplaoding the exam questions but will do so when i next can log in. In the mean time feel free to add you own resources and visit THE ALAN WILSON CENTRE website. There are powepoints on HUMAN EVOLUTION and notes that are useful to you, as well as other evolution resources. IF someone can add them here that may be helpful to others.**====

**Have a great break, have a rest and then get back in to your study with enthusiam!!! Remember to be amazed at this.**
====**Also when you look at past exams you will see that there is not a great emphasis on knowing all the details from the textbooks but being able to apply your knowledge and use your thinking skills to answer the questions. Keep an eye out for changes here and remember this is also your resource to share with the rest of the class.**====

**PS if you would like to join Mr Clays wiki, he is happy for you to join, he said ....**
You could give them the link to this video so they can find out how to join and use the resources… If they do decide to join please ask them to create a username that ends with _bdsc
