Evolution of Letters Nearly all modern alphabets are descended from an alphabet invented 4000 years ago‚ probably by a group of people related to the ancient Hebrews‚ Phoenicians‚ and Canaanites‚ living in what is now the Sinai desert. They got the idea from the Egyptians‚ but used their own simplified pictures to represented consonant sounds. The Phoenicians and others of the region simplified the pictures further and often rotated them‚ but if you use your imagination‚ you can still make out

The history/evolution of computing predates silicon microchips and CPUs by hundreds of years. The modern computers we are all familiar with can trace their roots back to simple computational machines that seem far removed from what we think of as a computer today. Simple Computers • By definition‚ a computer is any device capable of performing mathematical equations or calculations. Therefore‚ many simple devices such as an abacus (which dates back to at least 300 BCE) or a slide rule (first

A. Evolution and Behavior 1. Study microevolution by viewing domestication and natural selection in the wild. 2. Domestic dogs attack prey differently than their ancestral wolves do due to behavioral selection 3. In domesticating foxes‚ you are selecting for neotenous traits and a suppressed adrenal gland that made the foxes less aggressive 4. Natural disasters or major ecological changes are good examples of looking at microevolution 5. When studying behavior

Divergent Evolution Once upon a time there was a nuclear war that killed over 5billion people on earth. However because of the war the human race went through Divergent evolution ‚ which is when two or more species live in different habitats but come from the same ancestral group. Therefore the human race was split into to very different species. The first species was selected for a mutation that allowed them to grow an immunity to the nuclear radiation and are to be referred to as mutants

1. Origami and its evolution Origami is derived from Japanese word ‘oru’ (to fold)and ‘kami’ (paper). 1.1 History Paper was first invented in China and was brought to Japan in the sixth century .

The evolution that has taken place in the music industry over the last 15 years is quite staggering. The entrance of the internet onto the world stage has revolutionized the way music is bought‚ marketed and shared. It is not only the depth of the changes that are occurring‚ but also the increasing rate at which these changes are taking place. New technologies and processes are becoming outdated almost as soon as they are adopted. Love it or hate it‚ the World Wide Web is here to stay‚ and it has

The Integrated Circuit: The Evolution of an Electronic Miracle The microprocessor evolved over the course of many years of research‚ and people all over the world enjoy the benefits of this electronic miracle. It is difficult to think of anything that has affected modern life more than this invention. Cellular phones‚ wristwatches‚ calculators‚ automobiles‚ stereos‚ televisions‚ and computers are just a few of the thousands of electronic devices that have a microchip at the heart of its operation

Audience and Purpose: This paper is geared towards people who are interested in the evolution/history of different areas in music‚ anyone studying music‚ and people who want to learn about scales. This paper might be placed in a magazine‚ on a website or a segment on the history channel about music. When I was a little girl learning how to play the piano‚ I didn’t like it very much. One reason was that I was being forced by my parents to take piano lessons in the first place. Secondly‚ I had to

group Caminalcules species in your taxonomic classification (chart)? What does this suggest about classification based on strictly of similarity versus evolutionary relationship? The phylogenetic tree was more of an evolutionary tree. It showed the evolution of the organisms and their ancestors or traits that they branched off of. The chart however just simply organizes and separates the organisms in similarity. The tree did not change the chart‚ the chart see similarities with structures between the
