evidence for evolution part 2

in this video we watched it said that afrrica once had water and trees and wild life like i said in my other blog called evidence for evolution part . we know that evolution occured because of the fossil records we see. fossil record
is A term used by paleontologists to refer to the total number of fossil that have been discovered, as well as to the information derived from them.

evidence for evolution part 1

  1. evidence saids that lusy was not evolved enougth to make tools. when the brain sizes didn't changed the climate was changing cause it was drying out. they also belive that affrica was once tropical and had lots of trees and full of water and life. just 3-4 million years ago apes just became bipeteal. they also think that apes had a period of no changes in the brain.

Transitional species

transitional species are animals that shows traits of both of each. this pictures is a picture of an archaeopteryx a transitional species of a bird and a reptile of some sort. the reason we know it is a transitional species of a bird is because it has many parts like a bird like feathers and etc. this is one of the many transitional species that we know of. the one that we want to find is the transitional species of humans.









some questions i have is like what kind of reptile and bird is the archaeopteryx? how many years old is it? Where are they being found? Who found the first one?

Natural Selection

Natural Selection is the process by which forms of life adapt to a ceretain enviormental pressures,as predator, changes in climate, or competition for food or mates, will tend to survive and reproduce in great numbers than any other of there kind or a species in that area and any other critter will die off. like in the project we did in class like how we used a piece of cloth that represented a habitat and different kids of dots to represent animals. in this project i saw that one dot survived longer than the others because they blended into the cloth. and the ones that sticks out. in this project i did the dark green, the green and the blue ones survived better than any other ones nad the white and yellow one stuck out the most on the cloth that we used. like if you put a fat slow kid and a fast fit kid in the wild the fast fit kid will most likely to live because he is i shape and will move faster than the fat slow kid who will get winded faster. I do have some qusetions about natural selections like if the less fit will die off how come you can raise phesants and when you let them go they will live?

evolution part 3

evolution is where amimals evolve from other animales like a singel cell animal evolving into a multiple cell animal. lichen is a form of that because with out the fungi and the alge they would die because they depend on each other. the cambrean explosion is where the under water the under water mud got washed over many animals, that with out this we would not know existed. there is one thing that i have know idea what it is and that is the burgess shale and why its so important. i think it is so cool that we can see that stuff that happened so many million years ago. this is my blog

evolutionary time line

i think evolution is a theory that saids that all species evolved from something else. i think evolution is partialy right but im not sure i belive all of the stuff that it saids because there has been cases where scientests change someting so it matches what they belive or what is excepted. there has also been a lot of stuff that is changed to match stuff that others belive

evolution part 1

evelotion is were scientists think that humans and monkeys have a common ansester and that everything evolved from something else. i think that parts of the evolution thing is right but the other part im a little hesitant on. because i cant wrap my head around how humans evolved from the one and only ape/ monkey and how a land animal could become a oceanic or a water animal. but i do belive is that how there may be a common anster of us but not a ape.
