Dinosaur Energy Ever since the discovery of the first dinosaur in 1824‚ scientists and laymen alike have been fascinated by the lives of these awe-inspiring prehistoric reptiles. How did they live? What were their insides like? How fast did they go? At the heart of these and many other such questions about these “terrible lizards” is the main controversy: were dinosaurs warm or cold-blooded? This complex scientific issue relates deeply to understanding the biology and lifestyles of these creatures

Analysis of the DNA of these species which are very distant to humans has been done over the years‚ and it was found they share a similarity which is genetic with both the birds as well as reptiles. They also have mammal characteristics. Biologists have always wanted to understand the mystery which is the evolution of these species which is why the decoding of the DNA is an important goal.

isn’t filled with answers‚ but instead questions. The first approach is sex‚ meaning that the dinosaurs became extinct because the male reproductive organs could not function in a setting that was too hot or cold. Unfortunate for the dinosaurs‚ reptiles do not possess the function to control their internal body temperature. To add to that theory‚ Gould cites a study conducted by three experts; E.H. Colbert‚ R.B. Cowles‚ and C.M. Bogert‚ which was on large and smaller alligators‚ proving that the

A 240-million-year-old reptile with a skeletal precursor of a shell has been revealed as the grandfather of all turtles. Scientists have given it the moniker Pappochelys‚ meaning ’grandfather turtle‚’ in honor of its newly found position at the forefront of the turtles’ evolutionary lineage. What the shell? Grandfather turtle was actually shell-less Pappochelys‚ the lizard-like reptile found in a quarry in southern Germany‚ is now the oldest turtle fossil to date. Pappochelys is so old‚ the former

THE CATEGORICAL SYLLOGISM The categorical syllogism is the principal form of deductive interference. Its absolute manner of inferring when applied to certain premises is the kind most suited for imparting scientific and philosophical knowledge. We may describe the Categorical Syllogism as a form of mental discourse wherein two concepts are compared to a third ‘middle concept’‚ and from the agreement of both with the middle concept‚ the mind infers agreement of both concepts among themselves;
