New project that's going to be released for FREEEEE! Short teacher-friendly clips to break chronology down into some of its composite concepts. Video 1 will be sequencing and just needs editing together.

But 'big-brained' mammals such as humans, whales and elephants have all attained their proportions in different ways, and it hasn't always been about their smarts ⚡️🧠
