cell division" stages, importance ie meioisis variation, independent assortment, meiosis/mitosis, diploid no/ haploid no, gametes, location, benefits, errors, mutations, etc.
Chapter 15 of NOB summarises this section fairly well,
definition of hominin, hominoid, hominids,
knowing all humans are hominoids, hominins and hominds.
A good way to think about these three words is like this.
Hominoids is a much longer word so what i think is that describes more organisms ( i know this is very unconventional but it helps) ie
Hominoids are all apes, both great and lesser apes ie gibbons, orang-utans, gorillas, chimps and humans.
Then the next terms is just remember by sheer memory knowing hominins comes last.
Hominids are all the great apes- orangutans, gorillas, chimps and humans
Hominins is the collective term for all human species and their bipedal close reletives
ie all members of genus homo and australopithecus
for this section know about primate features
for eg:
primates have reletively large brains
long gestation periods etc ,
and a brief but sound understanding of the homo and austra species, as in what came before what, their achievements and their physicality, brain size and stuff,
Know about the different hypothesis like the out of africa hypothesis/ regional continuity
and then known about tech/cultural/ biological evolution
Hope this helped
