Human change over time
- The shared characteristics that define mammals, primates, hominoids and hominins
- Evidence for major trends in hominin evolution from the genus Australopithecus to the genus Homo: changes in brain size and limb structure
- The human fossil record as an example of a classification scheme that is open to differing interpretations that are contested, refined or replaced when challenged by new evidence, including evidence for interbreeding between Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis and evidence of new putative Homo species
- Ways of using fossil and DNA evidence (mtDNA and whole genomes) to explain the migration of modern human populations around the world, including the migration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations and their connection to Country and Place
