Homo Sapiens Unite

A: The two species I found to have the homologus trait is the frog and the rabbit. Frogs are amphibians that can not only live on land but also in water.They are known for their extremely long hind legs that make it so they can make incredibly long leaps. They only procreate in water and have very smooth skin. Rabbits are mammals that strictly live on land. Most people keep them as pets and kids in agriculture use them in competitions. They have large teeth and are very fluffy. Small fun fact people believe that rabbit's feet are lucky. Their long legs make them very agile. Rabbits had to adapt to be fast to outrun predators. The homologous trait they share is the humerus bone. B: These animals are homologous due to their common ancestor the Eusthenopteron. The Eusthenopteron is an extinct lobe fish that gave the rabbit and frog their common trait. Both these animals may share this common trait but, like I explained before they use it in different ways. The frog uses it to swim f...

Week 1 Historical Influences on Darwin After reading the text I think that Alfred Russell Wallace had the most influence on Darwin. Most people would not know this but, Wallace was the co-founder of the evolutionary theory.The bullet point that I believe fits the best for Wallace is if the environment changes, the traits that are helpful or adaptive to that environment will be different. In 1885, Wallace actually posted an article stating that all species were descendants of other's the appearance of the new species was due to environmental factors. These factors made the "new" species adapt to survive in different conditions. I do believe Darwin would have been able to publish his theory without Wallace but, without Wallace getting close to the answer Darwin would not have published as soon. When he saw Wallace getting close to figuring the theory out it kicked Darwin into gear to get his work published. The attitude of the Church was a big factor in how long it took ...

If I was ever stranded on a deserted island I would want matches and a machete. These items would not only come in handy for building shelter and creating warmth but, they would also help in finding food and cooking said food. I know these items might sound cliche but, I feel like they are the most obvious choices to bring with me.
