Albert Schweitzer stated, “The first step in the evolution of ethics is a sense of solidarity with other human beings.” Scientist say evolution took place because there is evidence of different whale fossil records being compared to modern whales which shows evolution. There are also fossil records for chickens, humans, and other animals.
One example that proves this claim in the winging it activity which talks about the human arm and chicken wing. In the “Winging it activity” I observed that the chicken wing had similar bones to a human arm if not almost identical.” In other words, basically in the class activity I saw that a human arm had similar bones to a chicken wing. This means that a human arm and a chicken wing are related because both arms work like each other. This is important because it shows evolution of a chicken wing and a human arm due to having very …show more content…
During the “Whale Tales” I observed, that the Pakicetus was more of a land animal that had a long skull and long teeth unlike the Ambulocetus which had more aquatic lifestyle with shorter legs, feet enlarged like paddles, and had a long and muscular tale. In other words, the Pakicetus was a land animal and had land features unlike the Ambulocetus which lived in the ocean and had body features for swimming. This means that the Ambulocetus evolved from the Pakicetus because one was a land animal while the other one was a water animal and had similar body parts. This shows evolution because it shows that these two whales evolved from each other from being a land animal who could barely swim to a water animal who barely lived on land. This supports my claim because it shows how evolution occurred with whales and it compared two
