There were some pretty big predators around Lucy. How do you think her family defended themselves from them? #MuseumMondays #goCMNH #CMNHatHome

Lucy was a generalist. She used a lot of different environments & ate a lot of things in her environment. Chimps are specialists & mainly eat fruit. Are you a specialist or a generalist? #MuseumMondays #goCMNH #CMNHatHome

Woah I had no idea all primates had color vision. I thought that they had black and white vision! But it makes sense that they needed it to avoid toxic food #goCMNH #MuseumMondays #CMNHatHome

Human ancestors were a hugely adaptable which helped them branch out and be able to survive in many different environments. The family tree shows you what this family tree looks like #goCMNH #MuseumMondays #CMNHatHome
