What is cryptozoology
Cryptozoology refers to the search for animals considered nonexistent by mainstream biology, including animals thought to be extinct like dinosaurs, animals from myths and legends like Bigfoot, and wild animals outside their normal ranges. The word was coined by Bernard Heuvelmans but he credited Scottish explorer Ivan T. Sanderson as inventing it first. Cryptozoology aims to find living proof of these hidden animals through exploration of remote habitats.
(Social) Darwin and the Theory of Evolution
Charles Darwin embarked on a voyage in 1831 which led him to conclude that species evolve over generations from lower forms. In 1859, he published On the Origin of Species, arguing that humans and apes descended from a common ancestor. Fossil evidence shows early hominids like Australopithecus lived 4-2 million years ago in Africa with adaptations for walking upright. Homo habilis emerged around 2 million years ago, exhibiting more advanced tool-making abilities. Later Homo species migrated out of Africa and demonstrated behaviors such as controlling fire and crafting diverse stone tools.
Animal mummification
Animals played an important role in Egyptian culture and were mummified for religious reasons. Egyptians mummified pets to accompany them in the afterlife, as food offerings, and to honor gods they believed could manifest as animals. Common Egyptian pets included dogs and cats, which were mummified through careful removal of organs and wrapping in linen bandages. Egyptians would mourn by shaving their eyebrows. Archaeologists collected the mummified animals they uncovered, while Romans found Egyptian mummification practices strange.

Symptoms typically emerge between ages 15-35 and include changes in eating/sleeping, delusions, withdrawal, and hallucinations. Famous people who suffered from schizophrenia include mathematician John Nash and Pink Floyd founder Syd Barrett. The book "I Know This Much Is True" and movies "Donnie Darko" and "A Beautiful Mind" depict lives impacted by schizophrenia.

The Eiffel Tower was built in Paris, France for the 1889 World's Fair commemorating the French Revolution. At 300 meters tall, it was the world's tallest structure until 1930 and required over 2 years and 300 workers to construct using over 7,000 tons of iron. Named after its designer, Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, over 70 million people visit the iconic landmark each year, though it also attracts some depressed individuals.
Sea Sponges
Sea sponges can be found in oceans around the world, from depths of hundreds of meters to shallow waters of 5-50 meters where temperatures and pH levels are optimal for their growth. They come in various colors and have no true tissues, but rather layers of cells and pores that circulate water to feed on plankton. Different species of sponges are found in specific locations around the world like the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Pacific. Sponges also host diverse microbial communities including algae, bacteria, and other microbes.
Gunpowder
Gunpowder is an explosive material made of sulfur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate. It originated in China around 800 AD and has spread around the world. Gunpowder is used as a propellant in firearms, for mining explosives, military bombs, fireworks, and igniting matches. It ignites very quickly and can reach temperatures of 800 degrees Celsius. Today, gunpowder is still used in ammunition, fireworks, and some household items like matches.
Rutabaga
Rutabagas are a cross between cabbage and turnips. They are sweeter than turnips with a lower water content. While similar in shape and size to turnips, rutabagas are high in vitamin A and low in calories, sodium, fat, and cholesterol. Rutabagas are often mashed, used in casseroles, or eaten with cheese sauce. They are planted in spring and harvested in late summer or early fall, storing well in cold, dark places for months. Rutabagas are often purchased from farmers markets in early fall when their flavor is at its peak.
Physical ppt
To be a good chef requires a passion for food and cooking, a willingness to work long hours on your feet, and the ability to multitask. It is important to start with hands-on experience by working entry-level positions like dishwashing to learn food preparation. Formal education can help but experience is also key. Good chefs are creative, pay attention to detail, and are team players. They know recipes by heart and can make quick decisions while handling criticism well. Bad chefs have sloppy presentations and poor attitudes.
Aztecsss
The document discusses the history and culture of the Aztecs. It describes how the Aztecs arrived in the Valley of Mexico in 1195 and founded Tenochtitlan in 1325, where they built their first pyramid. It also outlines some key aspects of Aztec culture, including their calendars used for agriculture and sacred rituals, ceremonies involving human sacrifice at the tops of temples, and their pantheon of gods who were seen as explanations for different aspects of life.
Chinchillas
Chinchillas are a type of rodent that originate from the Andes Mountains in South America. They have soft fur, large bodies, and squirrel-like tails. Chinchillas can grow up to 9 inches long and have small ears like a cat. They eat dry kibbles and enjoy toys, straw bedding, and living on the floor of their cages. Chinchillas are agile jumpers known for having the softest fur in the world, which is 30 times softer than human hair.

Dyslexia
Dyslexia is a learning disability that affects reading comprehension, decoding, and fluency. It is a condition present at birth that often runs in families. While it cannot be cured, people with dyslexia learn to work around it, and some famous figures like Walt Disney and Tom Cruise have succeeded despite being dyslexic.
Science slid show
Auditory processing disorder (APD) affects 5% of school children. People with APD have trouble hearing and processing sounds because their brain and ears do not work together effectively. While there is no cure for APD, people can learn coping strategies. APD is often genetic, so those with a family history may be at higher risk. It can be diagnosed by assessing whether loud noises are bothersome, or if the individual has trouble following conversations or with reading, writing, and word problems.
Narwhals!
Narwhals are whales with spiraled horns that live in the icy Arctic seas. They can grow up to 16 feet long and weigh around 1.8 tons, with gray and white blotchy skin. Adult narwhals have one tooth that spirals outward from the left side of their mouths, which is used for courtship, obtaining food, or amplifying sonar. Narwhals live in groups of 4-20 individuals, eating fish, squid, shrimp and other marine animals. They can live up to 50 years and there are approximately 45,000 narwhals in the world today.
