Introduction
For this assignment, you will be writing an essay about what it means to be human in order to evaluate what has been learned throughout the class.
In the first discussion from the Week 1 module, we answered the question, What does it mean to be human?. Refer back to that discussion post. What did you say? Do you agree with what you said, or has it changed? How would you answer this question now?
In this essay, compare and contrast how you originally answered the What does it mean to be human? question to how you would answer it at now. Be sure to include a discussion on how the remains and artifacts of Australopithecus and Homo help us answer the question, “What does it mean to be human?”. What have you learned? Has anything changed from the beginning of the class to the end? What do you conclude about what it means to be human?
