Antrowing Ideas Out There, Study a People.

The conversation that I had with no speaking, writing, or ASL was quite the predicament. I found it slightly easier as the conversation continued and a few more of my friends joined the conversation. The main topic started with the podcast that my friends and I were thinking about starting (a conversation that had come up a lot) and I gave them a heads up that I had an assignment to be involved in a conversation without using words, writing or a form of ASL for 15 minutes. This caught them off guard but agreed and thought it would be a fun experiment. Blake, the one who bought the microphone for the podcast, was primarily in charge of the conversation at first and Kevin also discussed ideas. I felt like I was playing charades at first whenever trying to “voice” my opinions of ideas because I couldn’t speak or write anything.  I would cough if I thought there was potential in the ideas presented and had the gladiatorial “thumbs up and thumbs down” for ideas that I enjoyed or ...

The Piltdown hoax began in Sussex England (Piltdown at Barkham Manor to be more specific) around the early 20th Century. The main finders of these potential humanoid fossils started with a Laborer who then gave them to Charles Dawson who was an amateur Archeologist at the time. Charles was ecstatic and invited Arthur Smith Woodward and Father Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. With these three, and others to come, digging not much was found except other animal fossils that dated the site being potentially a million years old. The construct of the jawbone of Piltdown man, thus what the humanoid looking fossil was called, backed the idea that Arthur Kieth’s idea of evolution that humans developed a larger brain, or skull before bipedal movement being the primary form of movement. This evolutionary discovery went contrary to Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. Many scientists speculated the validity of the fossil, but due to its prestige that it gave to the United Kingdom and the vast amount ...

Homologous trait Octopi and squid tentacles Divergent evolution has the squid with two extra tentacles used for capturing prey Cephelapod Octopi and jellyfish have homologous traits. Octopi are cepholopods that have, on average, 8 tentacles used to grab their prey and drag it toward themselves. Jellyfish are slightly different in the way that they do not have a skeletal form and have an umbra shaped bell at the top of their bodies. Both have tentacles but the octopus has an average of 8 while the jellyfish can have millions of tentacles depending on what kind. Each are used for food capture, but the Jellyfish uses these tentacles to inject toxins in its prey while the octopus normally uses it to crush its prey for consumption. These are different for the different ways of mobility as well as the different kinds of prey that each feast upon. While Octopi can sometimes chase their prey, which may be fast or even bigger than them, Jellyfish have slower mobility rates and need...

I feel that Alfred Russel Wallace was the most influential upon Darwin’s theory of evolution to strengthen his theory. With Wallace’s trip to the East Indies observing wildlife, he was able to, after great time, understand that adaptation is key for a species to survive.   Theories are proven by multiple examples from multiple locations and if they can not be redone in different areas, it either has the theory, or originally hypothesis, invalid, or thus needs more testing. Wallace was the individual who gave the theory backing with his research of the Dutch East Indies animals, he backed with evidence, Charles Darwin’s hypothesis that was made in the Western Hemisphere of species adapting to their environments.   His studies not only showed that species evolve from other pre-existing species in their development, but also show a niche for a specific part of the environment to thrive in, thus helping with the theories or ideas that Populations evolve, annd not j...

If I were stranded on an island and only had two items that I could bring I would bring 5 yards of rope and a buck knife. The buck knife for the purpose of gutting animals or carving other things to use and the rope for tying things like tree limbs together for purposes of shelter.
