Summary
What we learned about was the many branches in life, all with a common ancestor that we share. One of the few main concepts was about each of the three kingdoms. The rest was about each of the species in each of them.

There is the animalia kingdom, the plantae and much more that we had focused on but mainly the two mentioned. The animalia kingdom includes many mammals, and many others. We had focused on the main features of them, such as having hair on their body, or reproducing without laying eggs.

The Plantae Kingdom talked about the evolution of plants, and how the early plants back then evolved into what we know today. These early plants made the fruiting plants and other functions we know today.

The other parts we had covered included Chordates and Invertebrates, each with their subsections and unique parts.

What on Earth Evolved?
When I was doing the presentation, I was practically improvising and thinking of how to improve the presentation. I was reading off the slides most of the time, but I threw in a bit of information that I din't include. I was even going to see if I should make last minute edits right during the 10 min. break before class. The stress wasn't as bad as I thought, since I worked pretty hard on this, than if I walked in to class, tried to remember what to say, and not freak out. I think a big part is that I wasn't focused on eye contact and just doing what I thought was needed. I'm usually much more stressed when doing it without something to read off.
