A farmer wants to make a better corn plant that produces more and bigger kernels. In the chart, information is provided on two ways organisms can change over time. Natural Selection Selective Breeding Humans are not involved in the evolution process Human intervention is involved More generations are involved in natural selection, so it is a slower process Selective breeding is a faster process Survival of the fittest increases species' chance for survival Adaptations may not necessarily improve survival Mutations that result in natural selection occur randomly The desirable charactenstics are artificially chosen What is the best way for the farmer to improve his crop and why? Use evidence from the table to support your reasoning. Please write in complete sentences.

Human Evolution

Human evolution is the process of evolution of humans from early man to anatomically modern humans. The process of evolution in humans leads to the gradual development of traits like bipedalism. Humans are the highly social animals that make them the most advanced animal on Earth.  Human evolution is an outcome of interaction among the following processes:
