Evolution Animation and your Class Notes

Evolution is the idea that all life is related in some way.  We can count primates and fish as distant cousins. And earthworms, mollusks as even more distant relatives.  Going back even farther, we can even have a family reunion with a flatworm.  The story of life as an animation is here.  Your bi 11 evolution notes here.
