Key innovation in human evolution is the development of bipedalism and gradual increase in size of brains. The evolution might have occurred due to change in climate and environment which lead to reduction and replacement of trees with grasslands. Due to presence of large numbers of trees‚ it was easier for our ancestors to have quadrupedalism instead of bipedalism‚ so that they can climb on trees and move from one place to another. But with the decrease in number of trees‚ requirement for bipedalism

Genetically modified crops; what are they? Crops that have been scientifically altered‚ to create a better species. Though crops can sometimes breed through cross-breeding‚ with genetically modified crops this is not the case. These crops have had pieces of DNA inserted into them to create a superior race. The reason we produce these superior species of crops are because they are often stronger‚ resistant to herbicides‚ quicker growing‚ and therefore cheaper to produce. That way‚ the community as
