    Five morphological observations were made from looking at the unknown fossil specimen. See the list of the observations that were made. Figure 4 Fossil Cladogram was then redrawn into the lab journal and a prediction was made on the fossil placement on the cladogram based on the observations. Next, an explanation of the reasons for the prediction was then recorded in the lab notebook. The four gene file were then downloaded onto the computer by going to the website listed below.…

    In these three passages; "Florida Waters Treasure Hunters" by Scott L. Key; "Weather Reconnaissance" by Harriet Jane Caldwell; and "Search For Ancient Civilization" by Juan De Los Santos, they all share a similarity. They share similarities of finding hidden treaure, also where and when storms are going to hit and ancient civilizations. But they also have differences like what tehnology they use to find those things. I think that in the passage "Search for Ancient Civilization" they used the best advanced technology to find their objects. Their device that they use is very much like a lawn mower called the GPR.…

    The Bone Wars, also referred to the ‘the Great Dinosaur Rush’ is a geologic time period in history which there was an intense period of paleontology discovery, over a hundred new species were found during this time. This was mainly due in part to a rivalry between two men, Othniel Marsh and Edward Cope whom were known to go to extreme lengths to undermine each other. While, many fossils were found between the two men they were not above lying, cheating and even stealing from each other to win the war of who could find the most species to create a new chapter in the world of paleontology.. In the end, despite their hatred towards each other they both made huge contributions in the scientific community even if however it ruined them both financially…

    Recently, scientists have discovered fossils of an extinct species of turtles that particularly have snouts as noses, similar to a pig. However, because of its snout, it was named Golden's bacon turtle, or Arvinachelys golden. Usually, turtles have one nasal passage in their skulls because of how fleshy their nostrils are. Arvinachelys golden was found by a team from Natural History Museum of Utah and discovered the fossil at the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. In addition, this turtle also had a near completed forelimb, partial hindlimbs, and vertebrae from the neck and tail, unlike any other turtle ever recorded.…

Fossil evidence of whales and turtles are talked about in this chapter. Dawkins does discuss in small detail the questionable crocoduck. Evolution clearly does not only rely on fossils.…

    The peat bogs at Lindow Moss date back to the last ice age and were formed by holes of melting ice; they are now a tenth of their original size. Bogs often lead to the preservation of organic materials, particularly human remains, being acidic, cold, and devoid of oxygen. The brown colour of the skin, leathery texture, and appearance of human remains preserved in a bog are due to a type of moss that grows in bogs and when dead, lets out a substance that causes a tanning process. During 1980s CE a series of finds were made at Lindow Moss by workers at a peat shredding mill (peat was then being harvested as fuel). These discoveries were small parts of the human anatomy, for example, a head known as the Lindow Woman and several limbs of other…

    “Prehistoric cave paintings are exactly what the name says, paintings in caves from prehistoric times. They are from a really long time ago and they were the first known from of art by humans. People probably did this when they had some free time and nothing really better to do besides sit around and do nothing.” That is what I thought to myself before watching Werner Herzog’s film Cave of Forgotten Dreams. Many people do not understand the importance of these old pieces of art and what they can tell about past life.…

    Although the statue of Augustus of Primaporta and the statue of Doryphoros bear some minor differences, the similarities between the two statues are remarkable. To the naked untrained eye these two statues might even be mistaken from the same culture. However, the statue of Augustus is from Roman culture and the statue of Doryphoros is from ancient Greek culture. These two works of art seem very similar because Roman art and culture borrowed many ideas from the Greeks and sculpting is just one of them. Augustus of Primaporta was sculpted in the early first century during the Julio-Claudians era in Musei Vaticani, Braccio Nuovo, Rome.…

    Over the course of the book Annihilation, I became aware of many terms and other scientific things that I had not known before. The book was very good and I thoroughly enjoyed the suspense that was created and how it was filled with lots of scientific material. There were many instances that coalesced between the book and the eight themes of science that we were supposed to do for our reading logs. Many of them have to do with biology, because the main character is a biologist, but some other parts have to do with nature and anthropology. Science as a Process…
