02: Hominins - Gotta catch 'em all!
Pokemon is a Japanese-created franchise that developed "pocket monsters" or Pokemon. The creatures of Pokemon live in the wild or with their trainer. The trainer's goal is to "catch 'em all," which includes 700 different creatures!
Thankfully, humans don't have quite as many versions of our ancestry to collect! Each version of humanity built on the previous hominin's experiences and skills as we adapted to our environment and altered the environment to suit our needs. What skills can be highlighted in each hominin group? What weaknesses exist compared to other versions of our lineage?
