In the late 80’s the first wetsuit was developed by Dan Empfield. He wanted to help people swim faster and help with transitions during the Ironman race. Over the years, wetsuits have improved to make people swim even faster than in the 1980’s. For one, wetsuits are now made thicker so they aren’t as easy to tear. They are also easy, to take off to help shave off time in transitions (“Triathlon”). Wetsuits are not…

its beginnings in the recent past. Between 1750 and 1800 humans were able to access fossilised fuels and gases, which unleashed the human enterprise. Since then, mankind has had an explosion of discovery and innovation; from finding the Higgs Boson particle, to living in societies where people possess phones that have more computing power than NASA had in 1969. While there has been an almost immeasurable impact on the Earth from human activities in the last 250 years, many scientists believe…

It is very likely that the taxon also occurred during other time-slices, but hard conclusions 189 cannot be drawn from the data currently available. The palaeoecological record does not provide much indication on why 190 Camptothecais currently absent from the delta, but its occurrence up to a few centuries ago make it tempting to assume 191 anthropogenic impact as a cause. 192 193 4.
