5H.2	HUMAN EVOLUTION
Humans as primates	describe the range of form in primates illustrated by lemurs, old and new world monkeys, apes and humans.
Evidence for human evolution	describe the phylogenetic relationships of hominoids, illustrated by evidence from the following: comparative anatomy of skull and skeleton (details of individual bones are not required); fossils and geochronology with reference to comparing and dating fossil material; immunological studies of blood sera; amino acid sequences; DNA hybridisation and base sequences.
Hominoid evolution	describe the divergence of apes and hominids from a common ancestor; the possible influence of climate and habitat change on the evolution of hominid features; describe the Australopithecines and their possible relationships to Homo.
Evolution of Homo	describe the main features of Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Homo sapiens and Neanderthal man; changes in the skeleton, skull and brain development; bipedalism and evolution of the hand.
Palaeolithic	describe Homo habilis; tool making, development of brain, speech and language; sexual bonding and extended childhood; describe Homo erectus; development of hunting and the use of fire;   describe Homo sapiens, Neanderthal man, Cro-Magnon man and the Upper Paleolithic cultures; development of flint knapping and cave painting; foundation of religious beliefs and practices.
Neolithic	describe the development of agriculture and settled communities; domestication of animals.
