The topic I signed up for in my college anthropology class involved observing bonobos (chimps) at a zoo. They happen to be on the endangered species list and the closest zoo that has bonobos is in San Diego and thats over 5 hours away from where I live. My parents aren't willing to take a weekend trip to San Diego (I've never driven there, I've had my drivers license for less than a year) just to observe a bunch of apes for 3 hours. The other two choices for topics were really really hard (one was answering the question, What are the prospects, possibilities, & possible/probable limitations of the future evolution of human beings?). Do you think he will let me choose another primate family (group of apes) to observe? Or will he have me write a paper on the other more difficult topics?

Can you catch a bus or the train? Can you convince your parents that the San Diego zoo is LOTS of fun for adults as well as kids and they will more than enjoy the three hours at the zoo?
Otherwise, tell him that you volunteered for this topic before you realized that you could not logistically manage it. Find out what groups of apes are actually close to you and propose a different group.

Your anthropology instructor is pointing out the present medical data about the origins of people. The oldest accepted human fossils are from Africa, so until eventually older ones are chanced on, or technological awareness learns something distinct, what your anthropology instructor stated is ideal. yet, technological awareness is tremendous because that is the purely academic self-discipline it truly is self-correcting. So, who's prevalent with what destiny discoveries will exhibit.

I think that if you look into the other topics available, you will find that you will learn more, and they will be more interesting.
