Task: Good afternoon! When you arrive to class, please work with a partner to identify the 10 most important points from the Becoming Human documentary. We'll use these points as a starting point for our notes on historical periodization.

Finally, for the last portion of class, we'll discuss and answer questions about Guns, Germs, & Steel in preparation for tomorrow's quiz.
