Extractions: This geological time scale, presented as a clock, allows a better comparison of the relative lenght of each particular geological era or period. This form makes it easier to understand. It precedes the photo gallery "3d" of an amateur of paleontology and mineralogy, collecting minerals and fossils, but only an amateur. This site is designed as a recreational site. I hope that very serious amateurs will be very indulgent towards me and that they will not hesitate to correct my lack of knowledge. I thank them inadvance.

Extractions: Cesi and the Linceans - May 29, 2004 Ever wonder how people figured out there used to be such things as dinosaurs? Curious about how scientists learned to reconstruct fossil skeletons? The knowledge we take for granted today was slow in coming, and along the way, scientists and scholars had some weird ideas. This Web site shows some of their mistakes, provides a timeline of events, gives biographies of a few of the people who have gotten us where we are today, and lists resources you can use to learn more. The fascination with oddities led to a better understanding of the history of life. Starting in the late 18th century, Georges Buffon and later Georges Cuvier suggested that the earth was much older than anyone had previously imagined. By studying the fossil record, 19th-century geologist John Phillips divided the ages of the earth into three eras: Paleozoic (old life), Mesozoic (middle life) and Cenozoic (new life). Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species describing natural selection as a driving force in evolution. William Buckland and Gideon Mantell published the first descriptions of a certain group fossil reptiles, later to be given the much more popular name of "dinosaurs" by Sir Richard Owen.

Extractions: adaptive landscape: A graph of the average fitness of a population in relation to the frequencies of genotypes in it. Peaks on the landscape correspond to genotypic frequencies at which the average fitness is high, valleys to genotypic frequencies at which the average fitness is low. Also called a fitness surface. adaptive logic: A behavior has adaptive logic if it tends to increase the number of offspring that an individual contributes to the next and following generations. If such a behavior is even partly genetically determined, it will tend to become widespread in the population. Then, even if circumstances change such that it no longer provides any survival or reproductive advantage, the behavior will still tend to be exhibited unless it becomes positively disadvantageous in the new environment.
Digging For Fossils
should have a basic knowledge of evolution. Concepts and vocabulary include fossils, paleontology, skeletal system, DNA, phenotype.
http://www.accessexcellence.org/AE/AEPC/WWC/1995/diggingfossils.html

Extractions: Copies of pictures of the bones described Summary of activity: Using a chart or model, students compare and contrast key skeletal differences between chimpanzees and humans: brain size, teeth, hand and thumb, trunk, pelvis, lower limb, foot and big toe. Students then sort and group a set of mixed "fossil bones" of chimpanzee or human. A set of Australopithecine bones is introduced and students apply their skeletal knowledge to the classification of these "mystery" bones. Early hominid evolution is "discovered" by students as they analyze bones that share characteristics of both apes and humans. Prior knowledge,concepts or vocabulary necessary to complete activity: Students should have a basic knowledge of evolution. Concepts and vocabulary include: fossils, paleontology, skeletal system, DNA, phenotype. Teacher instructions: Students should work in groups of two for the hands-on components of the activity and individually for the summary questions. The teacher should prepare two envelopes of bones for each group-envelope 1 contains chimp and human bones; envelope 2 contains Australopithecine bones. Students are not told the contents of the second envelope until they have derived the concept of an anatomically mixed organism from the activity. The activity should be followed by a fuller exploration of hominid evolution, including cranial measurements and phylogeny construction.
