U_2_07 — Mosaic and Tile Art

Mosaic — images or patterns created from small pieces (tesserae) of stone, glass, ceramic, or other materials set in mortar — is one of the most durable art forms, with surviving examples spanning 4,000+ years. Origins:

R_2_10 — Primate Evolution and the Hominid Lineage

The order Primates, originating ~65–80 million years ago, encompasses prosimians (lemurs, tarsiers), monkeys, and apes. The human lineage (Hominini) diverged from the chimpanzee lineage ~6–7 Mya, based on molecular clock
