This is my final project from my Graphic Design in Cartography course. I wanted to
make something that both relates to my background, and helps others learn about human evolution.
For this project, I used Leaflet, which involved the use of html, javascript, and css. Each skull icon
represents the approximate location of a hominin discovery. Click the skulls to learn more about the find,
and follow the links to the newly created extension to my website! Here, I have created individual pages
for most of the discoveries. If there wasn't much information available for a specific find, I simply linked you to external
sources which may be helpful.
To view the map, click here. To go directly to the Hominin site, click here.
Note: I do not own any of the material (images of skulls, written information, etc). I just collected as much information as I could, given
my timeframe, and put it all together. Brief introductions for fossils were copied from their Wiki pages, as
were the images (though I photoshopped each image to remove backgrounds).
There is a link directly below that
information to where it came from. The Wiki information was checked for accuracy.
Note: the information for this project was last update in roughly November 2017.
