animals are not exempt from captivity and maltreatment. On the other hand‚ supporters of animal rights argue that animals have a right to live a life free from suffering. They also argue that animals should not be discriminated against due to their species. Furthermore‚ proponents of animal rights also argue that human beings are not superior to animals. Animal’s rights should be upheld by all human beings and activities such as hunting‚ animal testing and animal farming should either be regulated or

naming plants and animals—a system we still use today. This system is known as the binomial system‚ where each species of plant and animal is given a genus name (a general name) followed by a specific name (species)‚ with both names being in Latin. For example‚ we are Homo sapiens. Homo is the genus that includes modern humans and closely-related specie. Linnaeus named over 12‚000 species of plants and animals‚ although some have had to be renamed because we know more about them now. Linnaeus

the evolutionary relationships between extinct species‚ including megafauna and extant Australian species. Megafauna simply means large animals‚ in which most have become extinct within the last 20 000 to 50 000 years. The extinction of megafauna was‚ debatably‚ due to climate change and human expansion. Although‚ Africa still retains some megafauna‚ such as the elephant or the rhinoceros. Australia has managed to keep many examples of relict species‚ some from the time of the megafauna. These include

Natural selection occurs in a specific process that results in the formation of new species. This process includes: 1. A species produce more offspring than what can survive 2. In each species

and Recognition concept Species are produced by individual speciation events‚ so a single species concept can’t be defining all species. Hugh Paterson’s ideas are significant in understanding evolution. Paterson argues that speciation is not an adaptive process‚ but is a result of the adaptation of intricate bonding mechanisms to a new environment (Paterson). The conceptual basis of his research is the Recognition Concept of Species. He argues that the Biological species concept isn’t the only mode

advantage of multiple developmental stages‚ metamorphosis‚ to further diversify occupying many niches and thus increase their chances for survival. All these characteristics contributed to the overriding success of insects as a group: today insect species outnumber those in all other living groups combined (Borror and others 1992).

That eventually ended in extinction. “The Cretaceous Tertiary or K-T extinction‚ which was a mass extinction of the animals and plant species that were on Earth that occurred over million years ago. This served as conclusion of the Cretaceous period” (Alvarez‚ Alvarez‚ Asaro‚ and Michel).

polar bear remains ever found. Accelerator mass spectrometry was used to determine the age of a canine tooth left on the jaw. It was estimated to be approximately 130-110 ky old. It is said that this jawbone confirms that the polar bear was already a species at least 100 ky ago and was preserved due to the low temperatures and permafrost that was present during that time. Tests such as “next generation” sequencing technology and isotopes analyses of carbon and nitrogen of past and present environments
