Blog #2: Current Event

Knowing what is going on in the world around you is very important. Do you know what the headlines were in the local news yesterday? What about the national or international news? How often do you take the time to read about what is going on beyond your small community? Spend some time surfing the web for current events. Identify an article that was published within the last 48 hours and read the entire text. Your blog post should not only summarize what the current event is, but it should also express your personal opinion about this issue. How do you feel about this? What do you see that does or could impact your own life? Your entry should be thoughtful and thoroughly developed and no fewer than 250 words. As always, draft your prompt (and save a backup) on Word. You must cite your source at the conclusion of the blog entry. Be sure to add at least one picture that depicts this current event.

•  The Underground Search for the New Human Species

This article is really cool because researchers and people found bones of a new species that possibly could be human. The fossils have the resemblance of an ape and a human combined. In the article it states that the bones were discovered in South Africa deep down in a cave. There were 15 skeletons found in the cave, eight children, five adults and two adolescents. When I am reading this article it just shocks me that there was a new species that was discovered. I never thought there would be something like this discovered.  It just shows how humans are not the only thing in earth. It is also kind of creepy thinking about it.
