Primate

Eunotosaurus have an unusually broad upper body made up of nine pairs of extremely widened ribs that overlap one another. The most front ribs were angled towards the back, while the farthest ribs from the front were angled towards the front. The cross section in the ribs are T-shaped, each having a wide, flat surface on top and a slim ridge running along the length on the opposite side. The surface of the dorsal side is convex, giving the Eunotosaurus its rounded shape. In most cases the ribs…

Going to the corner store to buy a lottery ticket is the routine of millions of people across Canada, but what if winning meant death? Tradition is more important to some than others. The citizens of a small village in the short story “The Lottery” value tradition enough that they would kill one of their own every year to refrain from breaking it. To these people, human sacrifice seems like going to the doctor, or doing your taxes, rather than murder; it is a yearly task that they want to get…

In Solzhenitsyn’s “new Generation,” he mentions “in only a few short years women have acquired personal freedom in their intimate lives-sexual liberation.” From this I understood that the world changes and the universe is open to it. The universe has no effect whether changes occur, therefore it is open to…

TITLE OF THE ESSAY Introduction In the year of 1984, an almost complete skeleton, with the exception of the hands and feet, of an eight-year old boy was found by Kamoya Kimeu in Nariokotome near Lake Turkana in Kenya (Brown et al., 1986). The Nariokotome Boy, formerly known as the Turkana Boy/WT 15000, was very special in that it was the only hominid from the H.erectus produced with the most complete skeleton and was chronometrically dated back to about 1.6 million years (Brown et al., 1986).…

All species are believed to have come from a common descent. Therefore, humans are thought to have evolved from an ancestral species that can be directly related to all forms of life. Evidence of a common ancestor is even evident among fish and humans. For instance, modern day animals have vertebrae, being composed of a bony skull and backbone. The first organisms on earth to have a bone-like structure are fish. The similarities between the bones of fish and humans can be illustrated through…
