Evolution.
Some random key ideas.
1.
The egg. Long before chickens existed, eggs were a successful evolutionary strategy.
2.
Quote:
- Charles Darwin.
- 1859.
Meaning:
Survival belongs to organisms that respond effectively to change as environments shift over time.
3.
From History: ~2.4 Billion years ago (+/- 100 million)
About 2 billion years ago, bacteria are added to cells and that group leads to eukaryotes. You are a walking chimera ecosystem made of an Archaea host and trillions of Bacterial power-plants.
4.
Comparing the EQ of chimps and humans gives chimps an equivalent IQ of about 35 to 40.
5.
Quote:
- Charles Darwin.
- 1859.
From History:
Meaning:
In one brief line in 1859, Darwin moved human origins inside science. His quote signaled that our species should be studied as part of nature.
6.
From History: 270 Million Years Ago (+/- 5 million years)
Ginkgo represents an ancient seed-plant lineage going back 270 million years ago.
7.
Red algae did not descend from green algae. Both lineages split from a shared ancestor about 1.5 billion years ago, then adapted independently to different light environments.
8.
From History: ~425 Million years ago (+/- 25 million)
About 425 million years ago, modern fungi morphology emerges. Modern fungi are built on one ancient division.
9.
A new fossil can be exciting without being decisive. Right now, H. aff. erectus is best understood as an early European hominin with erectus-like traits, not yet a confirmed direct ancestor of us.
10.
From History: 3.9 Billion years ago (+/- 100 million)
About 3.9 million years ago RNA-based protocells evolved. Likely with a mix of random DNA experiments.
Done. Refresh for another set.
