Domestic Cat Bone Research Paper
Fossil record and genetic record of relationship between the species The oldest fossil evidence found was approximately 3.8 million years old. Although these were said to be the “oldest” there have been more modern research done that shows DNA comparisons of ancient fossils and more recent bones. This evidence is known as the clue to the ancestor of all cats including the domestic cat, margay, and marbled cat. In China, Archaeologists have found the first clear evidence of domestic and/or “small cats” . The evidence was recorded at 3,500 years old.

    Why Do Comb Jelly Exist

    • 763 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The discovery of the Comb jelly which was the first animal fossil was a shocking and unexpected event to most scientists in the world. Scientists had a specific view about evolution. They thought that organisms evolve from a simple state to a more complex state. But that was not the case for the comb jelly which unlike what scientist thought was a very complex specie. It was so complex that it had a nervous system and tissues. But that was not the only misconception that they had to face. Another problem was that scientist believed for so long that the sponge was the first animal fossil, but this discovery has changed the order of species in the tree of life. 
They could not find the date of when Comb jellies have first existed. But if there existence predates the existence of…

    There are on average 206 individual bones in an adult human skeleton, which are both metabolically active and highly vascularised. Bones have many important roles within the human body, for example they provide structure and support for the fleshy tissue, protection of vital organs eg the brain in the cranial cavity, storage for vital materials eg calcium and phosphorus and also enables movement of the body as the bones provide a surface for ligament, muscles and tendons to attach to. The bones also play a role in blood production of both white and red blood cells as bone marrow is stored in the central cavity of long bones. The 206 individual bones can be divided in to 5 subgroups of bone, these are;…

    The skeletal system can suffer from a few diseases one of the most common ones is Osteoporosis another one is Osteogenesis imperfecta. Osteoporosis affects in a progressive way that deteriorates bone mass. Making the bones weaker lacking density and causing to have the deficiency on the bones protein intake this can bring about to the one who has it more vulnerable to skeletal fractures. Osteogenesis imperfecta disturbs the connective tissue or the ability of building it making the bones brittle in way more defenseless to wounds. Both this conditions are critical and need to be treated on the notion of knowing one suffers from them.…

    Gray Wolf Evolution

    • 858 Words
    • 4 Pages

    By the Miocene, twenty million years ago, canines and felines had separated into two families. Scientists use fossil records, which means that scientists look for evidence of the organism’s ancestors through ancient bones and other remains that have been preserved by the earth over long periods of time. For the Canis lupus, the evidence confirmed their evolution, yet is still incomplete. Scientists have tracked the changes in skull shape and size, limb length, teeth, and evidence of changes in wolf population along with habitat distribution over time. In fact, the researchers’ use of the fossil record has tracked that ancient wolves from North America crossed the land bridge to Eurasia and established there then evolved into Canis lupus before returning to North America. An example of the use of fossil records of the evolution of the wolf shown in Tomarctus, a presumed ancestor of the wolf. The fifth toe on the ancestor’s hind leg became vestigial and is evidenced today by the dew claw on both wolves and dogs. As these wolves survival rate inclined with these adaptations, their population decreased. Today, there are only…

    Skull Analysis

    • 1068 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Firstly, we believe skull number one is Homo habilis. H. habilis is about 2.4 to 1.5 million years old. This skull has a small supraorbital brow ridge and no sagittal crest. The nasal bones were flat and the facial prognathism is in between. The canines do not jut and a canine diastema is not present. This specimen also had a centered foramen magnum and its facial prognathism was in between. Although the appearance is somewhat apelike, this was the first skull to have a centered foramen magnum, therefore an upright posture. This leads us to believe that it was one of the earlier ancestors of modern humans, the Homo habilis.…

    The example is of Mary Leakey’s discovery of footprints in volcanic ash at Laetoli in Tanzania. Here, three sets of footprints were discovered that display “the raised arch, rounded heal, pronounced ball, and forward pointing big toe necessary for walking erect.” (Longino & Doell, 213) Adding to the evidence, the distance between the footprints and pressure shown are indicative of a striding gait. From this evidence, Leakey determined that only an upright, fully bipedal creature could have created those prints. Using organic material imbedded in the prints, Leakey could date the footprints to 3.59-3.77 million years ago. Since bipedalism is the determination for hominid status, we can determine with certainty that hominids developed as early as 3.59 million years ago. This settled the debate over whether a larger brain or bipedalism developed first (Agnew & Demas). These footprints are close to 1 million years older than the earliest known stone…

    Sky Barragan, daughter of a good friend of mine is the child I observed for this written evaluation. Sky is four years old with a birthday quickly approaching this upcoming July. The observation took place at a local park in Pasadena that Sky frequents quite regularly for play time. We arrived at the park at approximately nine fifty in the morning and left the park at ten thirty. The park is about five acres and located in a quiet neighborhood of Pasadena, CA. It has a playground, basketball courts, handball courts, and plenty of open grass and trees which make for a calm and peaceful setting. The park was fairly empty with a few adults engaging in morning fitness activities, and the playground was empty. The temperature outside was about ninety…
