HS4CC Commitment: If this course doesn't meet your expectations in the first 14 days, we are happy to switch you to a different course at no charge.

In this course, you will be guided through an exploration of the scientific evidence for the evolution of humans and our fossil relatives, and humankind’s place in the natural world. This includes an introduction to evolutionary theory, an overview of the hominin fossil record and what that record teaches us about our place in nature.
