Happy SPRING SEMESTER AT STEM ! I hope you are here with bright smiles and eager minds. You have an amazing life and WE are going to have a fabulous SEMESTER
PLAN OF THE DAY
WHY?
ID, EVALUATE and ANALYZE: What makes us human? How did we get here? Where are we going?
REVIEW, ID and EVALUATE the creation of AGRICULTURE and CIVILIZATION. EVALUATE the AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION: are we really CIVILIZED?
1. PADLET: REVIEW AND APPLY:
CLAIM: OUR KIDS WILL BE A DIFFERENT SPECIES
What is the BEST EVIDENCE PRESENTED that supports this claim and WHY?
" I think we're transitioning into Homo evolutis that, for better or worse, is not just a hominid that's conscious of his or her environment, it's a hominid that's beginning to directly and deliberately control the evolution of its own species, of bacteria, of plants, of animals. And I think that's such an order of magnitude change that your grandkids or your great-grandkids may be a species very different from you."
"So what's the bottom line on that? Well it's not completely inconceivable that someday you'll be able to download your own memories, maybe into a new body. And maybe you can upload other people's memories as well. And this might have just one or two small ethical, political, moral implications. Just a thought"
