In my project, I hope to teach my audience about the root of all races, modern humans, and the genes we know today. I would like to inform people who are interested in anthropology. For my project, I’m planning to write in a brochure because it’s a simple and convenient way to give information. People can read it anywhere like in a museum or on a train. To start the project I will look up different styles of templates and practice my photoshopping skills. I’ll also research how to properly use my information to make the brochure as great as it can be.

One quote that inspired me the most was “Mitochondrial Eve was seen as potentially challenging gendered and racial categories.” This quote comes from my second source, Mitochondrial Eve and the Affective Politics of Human Ancestry. This quote inspired me because it seems like all history is white history. Most of the time we’re learning and reading about white people. In biblical depictions, Eve is shown as a delicate white woman and it shows that she was the first modern woman. However, mitochondrial eve begs to differ, which ignited something in a lot of people.
