humans and climate change could have been the reason for the extinction of the Megafauna. They ultimately assisted each other to destroy the beasts that used to roam Australia.

By discovering this, it assisted the palaeontologists in understanding what factors may affect the…

Blue-Banded-Periwinkle evolved these proteins to survive the extreme heat of the high-tide zone. Another physiological adaptation of the Blue-Banded-Periwinkle is its ability to secrete watery mucus, in order to form a protective layer around their shell opening, to protect them from aerial exposure. Another physiological adaptation of the Blue-Banded-Periwinkle is its ability to survive up to 70% water loss. Along with its ability to then rehydrate very quickly, this helps the…

people over 40. However, there are other factors to tooth decay such as receding gums and mouth dryness which are commonly found in older adults. Studying how drinks affect the color of your teeth using egg shells and a variety of drinks is the closest to doing it with real teeth. Egg shells are close to teeth because they are both made of calcium and stain the same way. The only difference is the fact that eggshells are made of calcium carbonate and teeth are made calcium phosphate. That…

The smashers are all members of Gonodactylidac and others species which generally their prey on armored animal such as crabs, snails, bivalves and even their species.

The Judeo-Christian says that the Earth and everything created on it, was made my God, the all powerful being. The…

When the United States entered the war in 1917, the army didn’t have any established medical forces. Soldiers suffered and witnessed horrific injuries ranging from four kinds of cases which were gas injuries, shell shock, diseases and wounds. When an organized medical system was finally established, it replicated the French and English medical system arranging military medical staff in a practical manner.

Bastardized versions of Native American history have been widely accepted within the media, which is often seen from classic Western films to some of our children’s beloved Disney adaptations. Such has caused many of the undereducated to hold a belief that the extent of Native American history is one of rebellion upon horseback while shooting rifles in the air, and attempting to scalp any “white man” who dared trespass onto their defined territory. This could not be further from the truth. Prior…

The Yurok tribe lived in the northwest cone of what today is California. Some of its people lived in villages along 45 miles of the Lower Klamath River.

Yurok territory also ran along the Pacific Coast from Little River in the north, to Trinidad Bay in the south, in addition on the tribe’s inland territory along the Klamath River. Today the land would be in the northern part of Humboldt County and continue north though much of what is…

Billy assumes an ironic protagonist, who is weak and accomplishes nothing during and after the war. His portrayal reveals the raw reality of most soldiers: weak, frightened, and traumatized into becoming an unfeeling and uncompassionate shell of a human. Although Billy is brave for surviving through the terror of being a lowly soldier, prisoner of war, and a survivor through the bombing of Dresden, he holds no sympathy for others who did not so luckily survive. Vonnegut compares Billy…
