The Change of Hominids
Over time, Hominids have changed dramatically. This did not happen spontaneously but through evolution. Through a skull lab I completed in school, I saw the changes occuring through the lab. The bone ridge on the top of the cranium of the skulls. Some of the ridges were really large, yet others were not even there. The fang teeth or the canine teeth also varied in size and length. Some like the chimpanzees, have longer canine teeth than Homo Sapiens do. One peculiar trait that I like is the Foramen Magnum (the hole of where the spinal cord links to the brain). Some of the skulls have the Foramen Magnum underneath. Others like Homo Sapiens have it towards the rear. that is why Homo Sapiens can lift their heads higher.

Hominids have changed a lot over the long time.

your blog sure showed the change
Ohh...I see now. Evolution is freaky, but that only applies for non-humans, in my book.
Heh, I studied a bit on the human skull as well, but not on the monkeys. So, I don't exactly know what you're talking about.
