It's an article that discusses of The 10 greatest discoveries of Zoology, talks about the book of Aristoteles called The History of Animals too, that it's a document the behaviour and characteristics of hundreds of species.
The list of the greatest discoveries is:
10) Tool use by chimps: I'm agree with that, because they are so intelligent that they use the stripped leaves from twigs and inserted them into termite mounts to catch them and eat them, just awesome.
9) Symbiosis in coral: I did not really know this, wich deals that coral called polyps, to survive, does a symbiotic relationship with photosynthesising algae called zooxanthellae. This way the polyps can get the photosynthesis products of algae and algae have a safe haven inside the polyps.
8) How the giant squid hunts: I don't consider so impresive, it's a giant squid hunts that lives at such inaccessible depths and some japanese scientists takes photos of it.
7)Migration routes: the birds migrate with the change of the seasons. Not really interesting, for me at least.
6)Mendelian inheritance: this is important because is the start of studies of a genetic inheritance. Mendel discover that showed that each new generation received "elements" from both of its parents, with the experiment of grew of pea plants.
5)Death of the dodo: this extinction shows the human impact on wildlife, so sad and still happen with some animals and important people doesn't care about it, just want to have more money.
4)Hydrothermal vents: the discovery of marine creatures living around geothermally heated water put the hypothesis that the sun is the holder of the whole Earth living.
3)Photosynthesis: this is an important support of the life on Earth too, because use the waste of humans to convert it in Oxygen and some more products. This is very important and we have to protect the plants and plant more to have a better environment.
2)Microscopic life: this discovery is very important because for this we can see microorganism and see how they work and live. It's important for make vaccines and this stuff.
1)Transitional species: discovery of the fossilised remains of Archaeopteryx, an animal with features of ancient reptiles and modern bird, had wings and feathers, but also claws, teeth and a long, bony tail. It was a very important discovery because help in the evolution hypothesis of some animals.
It was a very interesting article because have very important discoveries that help to the biological world, like the microscope to help the human development.
Wow-wow Xalooooo! I think that we must care about our species for not repeat what happened with the dodo!
ReplyDeletegood article, it is very interesting and there are things that really had no idea!
ReplyDeleteKiss!
Pelu
I chose this article, I found it very interesting and it's from our area.

Gonzalo,
actually very interesting I agree!
