Human evolution is the biological and cultural development of humans. A human is any member of the species Homo sapiens‚ meaning "wise man." Since at least the Upper Paleolithic era‚ some 40‚000 years ago‚ every human society has devised a creation myth to explain how humans came to be. Creation myths are based on cultural beliefs that have been adopted as a legitimate explanation by a society as to where we came from. The science of paleoanthropology‚ which also tries to create a narrative about

Evolution of Birds It has become widely accepted that birds have evolved from reptiles in the Jurassic period and are the living descendants of a group of dinosaurs called theropods. Birds share hundreds of unique skeletal features with dinosaurs. Over the years‚ birds have evolved in a wide variety of forms‚ from flightless and aquatic to flying animals. Due to poor fossil records‚ some information regarding the evolution of birds are based on theories but during the last 30 years‚ the evolutionary

The evolution of plants has resulted in increasing levels of complexity‚ from the earliest algal mats‚ through bryophytes‚ lycopods‚ ferns to the complex gymnosperms and angiosperms of today. While the groups which appeared earlier continue to thrive‚ especially in the environments in which they evolved‚ each new grade of organisation has eventually become more "successful" than its predecessors by most measures. Probably an algal scum formed on land 1‚200 million years ago. In the Ordovician period

Evolution and classification Main article: Evolution of birds Archaeopteryx lithographica is often considered the oldest known bird The first classification of birds was developed by Francis Willughby and John Ray in their 1676 volume Ornithologiae.[5] Carolus Linnaeusmodified that work in 1758 to devise the taxonomic classification system currently in use.[6] Birds are categorised as the biological classAves in Linnaean taxonomy. Phylogenetic taxonomy places Aves in the dinosaur clade Theropoda

Color in film went through a self-contained evolution much like sound. Many films of the silent era‚ for instance‚ used processes such as tinting and toning to give an overall color to the frame (Thomspon & Bordwell 34). Thompson and Bordwell comment on the process that “color could provide information about the narrative situation and hence make the story clearer to the spectator” (34)‚ much like the use of photogénie and mise-en-scene by the Impressionists and Expressionists. Other films‚ such
