Extinction Extinction is the termination of evolutionary lineage. The most common extinction event is the loss of a species. There are many reasons why a species might die out. Human intervention (either directly or indirectly) has become the leading cause of species extinction (possibly for the last fifteen thousand years). Species and Populations An important distinction must be made between true extinction and extirpation. Extirpation is the loss of a population‚ or loss of a species

Dinosaurs Were Endotherms Jiawei Tan‚ 30120159 Abstract: Whether dinosaurs were warm-blooded or cold-blooded is one of the most heated controversies since 19th century. This article is to suggest that dinosaurs were endotherms‚ which means they were warm-blooded. In this paper‚ I will list some evidences that indicate dinosaurs were more similar to mammals and birds rather than cold-blooded animals‚ such as reptiles. Evidences will be shown with comparison among dinosaurs‚ warm-blooded animals

Extinction of Dinosaurs Theory Evidence They’d been around too long and just ran out of ways to evolve. The dinosaurs were a group of organisms that lasted around 180 million years‚ evidence suggests that these organisms ran out of ways to evolve and as a result could not cope with changing conditions. They were poisoned by the newly evolving plant life which produced chemicals to protect themselves from predation. This theory is plausible as it ties in with the first one‚ as the dinosaurs were not prepared

Evolutionary Concepts Defining Speciation: BSC 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

Dinosaurs lived on earth 65 million years ago. They lived on the earth much before any human being was born. They ruled the earth for over 165 million years‚ till 65 million years ago. They were huge monsters‚ even bigger than elephants. The word "dinosaur" was taken from a Greek word which means terrible lizard. But they weren’t exactly lizards. Lizards are one type of reptile and dinosaurs are another type. Not all dinosaurs were giants. Some dinosaurs were no bigger than small dogs. The smallest
