A December Thought

One of my favorite paintings complimented with a favorite quote.

“When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money” –Alanis Obomsawin, canadian native american and documentary filmmaker

Paleontology – experimental early life taxonomic trees I created using  MindJet’s MindManager. Must have Java/Flash installed and allow content to run (if asked).

Phylum Annelida

Phylum Arthropoda

Phylum Hemichordata

Phylum Chordata

Phylum Echinodermata

 

Particles of Wisdom

“Millions of our race are now supported by lands situated where deep seas once prevailed in earlier ages. In many districts not yet occupied by man, land animals and forests now abound where the anchor once sank into the oozy bottom.”

— Sir Charles Lyell

  • Darwin's Theory of Evolution Infographic
  • Australopithecus bahrelghazali es una especie fósil de homínido hallada en 1995 por Michel Brunet en Koro Toro, Chad, representado por una mandíbula con siete dientes. Fue apodado Abel. El yacimiento ha sido datado en 3,58 ± 0,27 millones de años de antigüedad. Se considera que representa una línea de Australopithecus distinta de la que evolucionó hacia Homo.
  • Cro-magnon skull
  • Skulls with mix of Neandertal and primitive traits illuminate human evolution
  • A South African scientist shows a tooth of <i>Australopithecus sediba</i> hidden in a rock excavated from an archaeological site three years ago. Also pictured is a copy of a skull of the same species that was discovered at the Malapa site in the Cradle of Humankind in 2009.

  • Americans' Heads Getting Bigger In Size, Changing Shape, Anthropologists Say
  • Homo habilis fossil skull. These predate homo erectus, living between 1.4 to 2.4 million years ago. Note that the teeth are not like modern apes and monkeys but like modern humans instead, giving more evidence (i.e. on top of bipedalism) that this was a human ancestor and not an early ape.
  • A New View of Evolution by sciencemag:  This is a 1.77-million-year-old complete adult skull (braincase volume: 546 cubic centimeters) of early Homo from the site of Dmanisi, Georgia. Together with the fossilized bones of four additional individuals discovered in close proximity, the skull indicates that populations of early Homo comprised a wider range of morphological variation than traditionally assumed, which implies a single evolving lineage... #Science #Human_Evolution
