Extractions: From a bed of volcanic ash deposited in northeastern China more than 124 million years ago, botanists have recovered impressively complete fossils of some of Earth's earliest flowering plants. The discovery of this new family of plants sheds light on the life and times of early members of an enormous category of flora, which includes flowers, trees, and many life-sustaining crops.

Extractions: Information on the Internet about human evolution is immense. Unfortunately, it is scattered among many sources, some of the best of which science journals require costly subscriptions to read. It is regrettable also that most of the photographic evidence that is web-available is limited to skulls. Other comparative skeletal material such as the progression of pelvises, knees, hands and feet are equally interesting but are not web-available. Rather than attempt to write a textbook on the subject, I have collected from numerous web sources significant information on a number of aspects of human evolution. The box at right, for instance, has links taking you to a variety of timeline graphics. Please visit these and try to note some of the differences in the presentations. Although some species of fossil hominids are today represented by up to 500 specimens, for many there are but a few not enough, and not complete enough in some cases, to be certain as to the position within our family tree. So there is debate within paleoanthropology about the matter healthy debate that requires more evidence before consensus is reached on all points. Also, some of the timelines do not show the latest fossil discoveries and, in a few cases, two species shown in one timeline are "lumped" together in others. See also the timeline discussion below.

Extractions: Note: Authorities differ as to precise time boundaries between geologic periods. Eon Era Period Epoch While this page is about paleontology and fossils, it is also inseparably connected to geology and plate tectonics. It is impossible to understand the stratigraphic and geographic distribution of ancient life on this planet without having at least a basic knowledge of these subjects. In addition, an understanding of radiometric dating is also beneficial, although you will not have to learn much about chemistry and physics to achieve that understanding. This page is divided into two rather long sections. The first section lists all the geologic periods from most recent to most ancient. Wherever possible a series of maps is presented showing the size and position of land areas during each period. Also a small list of links is given for a description of the period and for museum and fossil exhibits related to it. The second section of this page contains a dozen or more broad topics within paleontology with a variety of links to help you explore each subject area. Those links will in turn offer you additional sources of data. A great deal about the fossil record of life is available online to help you learn. But I urge you to read a couple of books and a journal or two and, if possible, to take an introductory course in paleontology. Most colleges and universities offer them, and you can find online course material on this page. This is an exciting time in paleontology. New fossils are being reported almost daily and old, troublesome gaps in the fossil record are rapidly being filled.

Hominids
I shall commit an outrage against paleontology by giving short shrift to all sortsof lovely complications We refer to these new, bipedal simians as hominids.
http://www.erasmatazz.com/library/History of Thinking/BeforeCivilization/Hominid

Extractions: Our story has now gotten to about 5 million years before yesterday afternoon. I shall commit an outrage against paleontology by giving short shrift to all sorts of lovely complications and baldly stating that one group of simians started, for one reason or another, to walk on two feet instead of four. We refer to these new, bipedal simians as hominids. I will, however, address one nasty complication. The simians were never truly quadripedal in the first place. After all, they were descended from primates who lived in trees and used all four limbs for grabbing as well as locomotion. Simian hands aren't equipped with hard hooves or big pads for heavy-duty contact with the ground. So the simians were, in point of fact, neither quadripedal nor bipedal they were sort of "unpedal". Or perhaps we could say that they were simultaneously quadripedal and quadrimanual. The hominids didn't so much give up using their hands for walking as they specialized their feet to do a better job of walking. So it's best to think of the hominids as simians with greater mobility. Many people have made a big deal about how the shift to bipedalism freed the hands to do all sorts of intellectually stimulating things, such as making tools, but our simian relatives use their hands quite adeptly. It's true that bipedalism gave the hands even greater freedom, but the basic capability to use hands to manipulate objects was already in place with the simians. What really changed the hominid condition was the new combination of using hands while walking: carrying things. Chimps and apes can pick things up, and they can run pretty fast, but when they try to do both at once, they're pretty clumsy. Hominids could carry fairly large items like babies, for example around with them. Perhaps bipedalism was a response to premature birthing it's difficult to disentangle causes from effects in these matters.

http://www.strangescience.net/women.htm

Extractions: This tongue-twister has a very real inspiration. The daughter of a working class English fossil collector, Mary Anning expanded her father's business after his untimely death left the family nearly destitute in the early 19th century. With an exceptional eye for fossils, she unearthed a number of spectacular finds from sediments that were deposited during the Jurassic Period. Many of Anning's grateful customers were upper class English geologists. When hard financial times dropped Anning's sales around 1830, one of those geologists, Henry De la Beche, drew a cartoon designed to inspire interest in her finds. Named Dura antiquior ("an earlier Dorset"), this lively depiction was converted to a lithograph and sold to many members of the Geological Society of London. A commercial collector, Anning was not considered a scientist, although many scientists of the time admired her work. To learn more about Mary Anning, choose Mary Anning's Biography One day, as the story goes, Mary Ann Mantell accompanied her country doctor husband on a house call. While he visited his patient, she took a stroll down a country lane and found a tooth that she presented to her husband after he finished his visit. Whether this story is true can't be confirmed since Gideon Mantell later gave conflicting versions of the story. What is known is that the tooth in question led to the naming of

Extractions: Hadrocodium ( meaning "heavy or full head") was a tiny mammalian ancestor about the size of a paperclip. It is the earliest-known animal with such mammal-like features. This shrew-like quadruped had a long tail, a long snout, delicate teeth, three middle ear bones, a powerful jaw hinge, matching upper and lower teeth, a large brain case, and five-toed feet. Hadrocodium was an insectivore (insect-eater) that may have been nocturnal (most active at night). It lived about 195 million years ago. A skull (half an inch (12 millimeters) long) was found in the Lufeng Basin in Yunnan, China, in 1985 (it was only recently determined that it was a new species). The type species is Hadrocodium wui
