Snakes‚ like all living things‚ are a product of the process of evolution. Evolution allows species to change over time in response to environmental factors to produce entirely new species.

The evolution of plants has resulted in increasing levels of complexity‚ from the earliest algal mats‚ through bryophytes‚ lycopods‚ ferns to the complex gymnosperms and angiosperms of today. While the groups which appeared earlier continue to thrive‚ especially in the environments in which they evolved‚ each new grade of organisation has eventually become more "successful" than its predecessors by most measures. Probably an algal scum formed on land 1‚200 million years ago. In the Ordovician period

Analog computers The earliest computing machines in wide use were not digital but analog. In analog representation‚ properties of the representational medium ape (or reflect or model) properties of the represented state-of-affairs. (In obvious contrast‚ the strings of binary digits employed in digital representation do not represent by means of possessing some physical property — such as length — whose magnitude varies in proportion to the magnitude of the property that is being represented.)

This posture positioned the head from the front to the top of body‚

Evolution of Birds It has become widely accepted that birds have evolved from reptiles in the Jurassic period and are the living descendants of a group of dinosaurs called theropods. Birds share hundreds of unique skeletal features with dinosaurs. Over the years‚ birds have evolved in a wide variety of forms‚ from flightless and aquatic to flying animals. Due to poor fossil records‚ some information regarding the evolution of birds are based on theories but during the last 30 years‚ the evolutionary
