The early 2000s saw the creation of fledgling interim federal administrations‚ culminating in the establishment of the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) in 2004. In 2006‚ the TFG assisted by Ethiopian troops‚ assumed control of most of the nation’s southern conflict zones from the newly formed Islamic Courts Union (ICU).

The Article that I looked at was titled The Meaning of Fossils‚ Episodes in the History of Palaeontology by M. Rudwick (September 6-11‚ 2012). The motivation for this paper seemed to start with wanting to explain the finding of certain fossils in specific locations‚ along with the differences that seemed to be found in various sedimentary layers. The first question that seemed to be asked in the article was‚ “Fossils were part of the natural world‚ but what were they?” This drew a lot of controversy

He explained that the stone tooth shaped fragments he had found were from an ancient shark and had been fossilized by horizontal deposits of sediment. (Circa

Neanderthal and modern humans at around 465‚000 to 600‚000 years ago. Archaeologists have found much physical evidence to confirm this date‚ such as the 0.73 Mya old fossils with stone tools and animal bones. The other date matches the movement of modern humans out of Africa and the appearance of modern traits in fossil skulls. Fossil skull traits such as high rounded skulls and small brow ridges‚ a vertical forehead and a pronounced chin first appear in Africa about 130‚000 years ago. They then

Two general processes used to figure out the age of rocks is relative dating and radiometric dating. We will compare and contrast the strengths and weaknesses of both methods. According to Lutgens and Tarbuck‚ Relative dating is the process in putting events in their proper sequence. Relative dating is based on assumption‚ not able to give an accurate date but an estimated time period where the rock originated from. A Danish scientist‚ Nicolaus Steno is accredited for the Law of Superposition.

Recently in the remote rain forests of Tanzania‚ a major herpetological breakthrough was discovered. As a group of field Biologists continued their studies they came across a beautiful and remarkable snake‚ Antheris Matildae (Matildas Horned Viper). What is remarkable about this species is it evolved just about 2.2 million years ago from Atheris Ceratophora (Usambara bush viper)‚ and is just now being discovered. Antheris Matildae is restricted to a very small area of just under 100 square miles

<center><i>The Fundamental Principles of Relative Dating</i></center><br><br>Relative dating involves placing events in their proper chronological sequence‚ that is‚ in the order of their occurrence (Dutch 1998). This type of dating tells us which geologic event happened first‚ but does not give an exact date to which something happened. There are several different methods that are used in relative dating. These are the fundamental methods that are used in the field by geologists ’ and earth scientists

Diplodocus is the longest and in fact the largest known to science terrestrial dinosaurs whose complete skeletons have ever been found. In appearance‚ it resembled a lizard brontosaurus‚ but Diplodocus differed from it by a thin S-shaped neck and a long tail with a thin shout end. The first remains of Diplodocus‚ in particular its tail and hind limb bones‚ were discovered in 1877 by Samuel Williston near the town of Canyon City‚ Colorado‚ USA. According to him‚ Otniel Charles Marsh described the
