Please answer the question in the following discussion. this is an a.docx
Please answer the question in the following discussion. this is an anthropology discussion which talks about fossils.
Questions:
Please address both parts of the prompt in your response.
1) Select a fossil related to human evolution and discuss what types of information scientists can learn from this particular fossil. Feel free to use the textbook, websites listed under 'more resources' in Unit 8, or something that you find elsewhere online.
2) As remains become fossilized, what factors influence our knowledge of the fossil record?
After writing your response for both of the questions please respond to the following responses:
Fossils can teach us so much about the past. Firstly, the book states, "Fossils provide an essential historical record for documenting and understanding the biological evolution of surviving and nonsurviving lineages." Next, fossils provide us with information on both geologic and chronological time. Finally, fossils in different geological settings can shed light on past environments and diets. This reveals important
contexts for understanding how past organisms evolved. All these things can be learned from human skeletons from the past, giving us a better understanding of how we came to be as we are today.
Another cool thing that can be done with human fossils is reconstruction through art and science. The books uses a Dimanisi boy to show this process on page 227. It may take up to four months but, through reconstruction we can learn what humans of the past looked like. Strips of clay are used to imitate muscles, more clay is applied like tissue and the exterior surface is molded, and details are made to make the hominid look real.
I chose to look at the Homo naledi fossils. This species shares the modern human genus Homo. I found this particular species and fossil set interesting because it gives us a more detailed window into the evolutionary process linking quadrupeds and bipeds. The Homo naledi has a very human like foot. In fact, the feet are the most human-like part of their skeleton. Scientists believe that the naledi was bipedal but that they also were arboreal. The other thing about the naledi that I found interesting is that it appears that they honored their dead. They hid the bodies of those who died. Perhaps to keep them from being eaten by scavengers? The idea of emotions is what creates empathy for other species, in my opinion and observation. Those species that we can see emotions, get more of our empathy than those who cannot show emotion in a way that we can readily observe. Thinking about the naledi working to preserve or protect the bodies of their loved ones is really eye opening. This is merely a hypothesis at this point though. I wonder if it is possible that they were just trying to easily distance themselves from the dead because the bodies may have made the living a target for predators. It will be interesting to see how the research plays out and what information they can glean fr.

Evolution[1]
This document provides an overview of the theory of evolution by natural selection. It explains key concepts such as variation within species, competition for resources, survival and reproduction of individuals with advantageous traits (natural selection), and accumulation of adaptations over generations (evolution). Evidence that is discussed includes homologous structures, vestigial organs, comparisons of DNA and embryological development between species, observation of species change over time, and the fossil record. The theory of evolution is contrasted with ideas like Lamarckism and creationism.
Fossils
This document provides an overview of fossils, including what they are, how they are formed through a process of death, decay, burial and uplift, and the different types of fossils like petrification, carbon films, molds and casts. It also discusses how fossils are discovered by paleontologists and their uses, such as for dating rock layers and determining past environments through the fossil record and principle of fossil succession.
evolution_ppt.pptx
The document discusses evidence that supports biological evolution over time, including:
- Comparative anatomy studies show that homologous structures in different species suggest common ancestry.
- Vestigial structures provide evidence that species descended from ancestral forms that used those structures.
- Molecular biology research indicates that organisms with similar DNA sequences share a common ancestor.

Fossils and rock layers
This document discusses key concepts in geology including the difference between a timeline and timescale, relative and absolute dating, fossils, index fossils, rock layers, and unconformities. It explains that timelines show events in order while timescales assign numerical ages. Relative dating compares rock layers while absolute dating assigns numerical ages. Most fossils are preserved in sedimentary rock. Index fossils found in specific rock layers worldwide can help correlate rock sequences. The oldest rock layers are on the bottom according to the law of superposition, though layers can be disturbed by folding, faulting, or volcanic intrusions creating unconformities.

Web Qest on Fossils _ 4th Grade
The document provides instructions for a 4th grade science lesson on fossils. Students are directed to various websites to read about topics like what paleontology is, how fossils are formed, examples of large prehistoric animals, and what paleontologists study. They are to answer 16 questions by exploring the websites and resources. The questions cover definitions of key terms, the fossilization process, examples of large dinosaur and mammal fossils, and whether the student would want to pursue paleontology.
Living fossils. english
This document discusses fossils and how they relate to Darwin's theory of evolution. It notes that while fossils provide information about past life, the fossil record does not show the gradual transitions between species that evolution predicts. Instead, species appear abruptly in the fossil record fully formed. It argues this contradicts Darwin's theory and supports the idea that species were created as distinct types. It provides examples of "living fossils" - species that have remained virtually unchanged for hundreds of millions of years - as further evidence against evolution.
PBB418-323 PALEOBOTANY 2021.pptx
Paleontology is the study of prehistoric life forms through the examination of plant and animal fossils. It provides information about when different types of plants and animals existed, as well as their geographical distribution. The main branches of paleontology are micropaleontology (study of microscopic fossils), paleobotany (study of fossil plants), palynology (study of pollen and spores), and various branches focused on specific types of organisms like invertebrates, vertebrates, and hominins. Fossils are any preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms, and include body fossils, trace fossils, and chemical fossils. Paleontologists classify and name fossil species using the same taxonomic system applied to living
Australopithecus Research Paper
The document discusses the genus Australopithecus, which was an early hominin that evolved in Eastern Africa around 4 million years ago. Several Australopithecus species emerged during this time period, including A. afarensis, A. africanus, A. anamensis, and A. garhi. A. anamensis is considered the earliest known Australopithecus, existing between 3.8-4.2 million years ago. Evidence from fossils shows that A. anamensis could walk on two legs but also had adaptations for climbing trees.
Australopithecus Research Paper
The document discusses the hominin species Paranthropus aethiopicus. Key points include:
- P. aethiopicus dates back to 2.3-2.7 million years ago and was one of the earliest known robust forms of Australopithecus.
- The species was first discovered in Omo, Ethiopia and nicknamed the 'Black Skull'.
- An important fossil discovery of the species was KMN-WT-17000 found in West Turkana, Kenya in 1985.
- P. aethiopicus had strong jaw muscles and teeth adapted for grinding, allowing it to consume harder foods than other species.
Fossil Mosaic Evolution
This document discusses several hominin species from the genus Homo that existed between 2.4-1.5 million years ago, including Homo rudolfensis, Homo habilis, Homo erectus, and Homo heidelbergensis. It examines the connections between these species and why they are considered part of the same genus, while also touching on their cultural developments. The author aims to analyze the relationships between these later hominins in the Homo lineage.
Anatomical proof of evolution and fossils
This document discusses how scientists have supported the theory of evolution through anatomical evidence and fossil discoveries. It explains that early scientists showed anatomical similarities between organisms to demonstrate evolution. Additionally, fossil discoveries like shark teeth and "tongue stones" provided early evidence that fossils record past life. The document also gives examples of how fossils can provide clues about species interactions and growth patterns to increase understanding of evolutionary history. Finally, it describes how analogous, homologous, and vestigial structures in living things also support evolution by demonstrating common ancestry and evolutionary changes over time.
B10vrv5164
This document discusses multiple lines of evidence that support Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, including biogeography, the age of the Earth, the fossil record, homologous and vestigial structures, and similarities in embryonic development. Biogeography shows that closely related species are geographically separated while distantly related species in similar environments converge. The age of the Earth, over 4.5 billion years, provides enough time for evolution. Recent fossil discoveries document intermediate forms connecting modern species to ancient ancestors. Homologous structures and vestigial organs reflect common descent, and comparable embryonic development across species also supports shared ancestry.

=======================
Since an awesome measure of information backings the possibility of organic development
through common choice, and in light of the fact that no logical confirmation has yet been found
to demonstrate this thought false, this thought is viewed as a logical hypothesis.
confirm that backings the hypothesis of development by normal choice:
Biochemistry:
is the investigation of the fundamental science and procedures that happen in cells. The natural
chemistry of every single living thing on Earth is staggeringly comparative, demonstrating that
the majority of Earth\'s living beings share a typical heritage.
Comparative anatomy : it is the examination of the structures of various living things. This figure
analyzes the skeletons of people, felines, whales, and bats, representing how comparative they
are despite the fact that these creatures live interesting ways of life in altogether different
situations. The best clarification for likenesses like the ones among these skeletons is that the
different species on Earth advanced from normal predecessors.
Biogeography, the investigation of living things around the world, cements Darwin\'s hypothesis
of organic development. Fundamentally, if development is genuine, you\'d expect gatherings of
living beings that are identified with each other to be bunched close to each other in light of the
fact that related living beings originate from a similar basic progenitor.
Then again, if development isn\'t genuine, there\'s not a single explanation behind related
gatherings of creatures in sight close to each other. At the point when biogeographers look at the
dissemination of life forms living today or those that lived before (from fossils), they find that
species are conveyed around Earth in an example that mirrors their hereditary connections to
each other.
Comparative embryology thinks about the incipient organisms of various life forms. The
developing lives of numerous creatures, from fish to people, demonstrate likenesses that propose
a typical predecessor.
Molecular biology concentrates on the structure and capacity of the particles that make up cells.
Sub-atomic scientists have looked at quality arrangements among species, uncovering
similitudes among even altogether different creatures.
Paleontology :it is the investigation of ancient life through fossil proof. The fossil record (every
one of the fossils ever found and the data picked up from them) indicates point by point proof of
the adjustments in living things through time.
Advanced cases of natural development can be measured by concentrate the aftereffects of
logical analyses that measure transformative changes in the populaces of li.
evolution.pptx
This document outlines an introductory science lesson on evolution and biodiversity. It includes:
1. An opening prayer, introduction and video clip to introduce the topic of evolution.
2. Two classroom activities where students draw fossils in their proper eras/periods and determine fossil ages using carbon dating. This assess students' understanding of the geologic timescale and dating fossils.
3. A discussion of key concepts like the fossil record, comparative anatomy and genetic evidence for evolution, how fossils are formed and dated, and the geologic timescale.
4. Concluding reflections on adapting to environmental change and a quote about personal growth and evolution.
Improving searches III: Database Search Techniques
This tutorial provides tips for improving database search techniques, including:
1. Using limiters to narrow results by criteria like date, subject, or resource type. For example, limiting to peer-reviewed journals.
2. Entering terms with "AND" to find results containing both terms, like "viruses AND computers".
3. Entering alternative terms with "OR" to broaden results, like searching for "(fruits OR vegetables) AND (orchards OR farms)".
Improving searches I: Revise your search question
This document provides guidance on revising search questions to find more relevant results. It discusses searches being too broad or too narrow. For searches that are too broad and return long lists of articles, it recommends narrowing the search topic by identifying its main aspects and combining keywords. For searches that are too narrow and return few results, it suggests broadening the search by looking at individual parts of the topic in isolation or more general topics on the subject in order to learn more and develop new research directions. The document also provides templates for developing good search topics and advises beginning researchers to use existing research to add to current understanding rather than simply restating others' work.

are despite the fact that these creatures live interesting ways of life in altogether different
situations. The best clarification for likenesses like the ones among these skeletons is that the
different species on Earth advanced from normal predecessors.
Biogeography, the investigation of living things around the world, cements Darwin\'s hypothesis
of organic development. Fundamentally, if development is genuine, you\'d expect gatherings of
living beings that are identified with each other to be bunched close to each other in light of the
fact that related living beings originate from a similar basic progenitor.
Then again, if development isn\'t genuine, there\'s not a single explanation behind related
gatherings of creatures in sight close to each other. At the point when biogeographers look at the
dissemination of life forms living today or those that lived before (from fossils), they find that
species are conveyed around Earth in an example that mirrors their hereditary connections to
each other.
Comparative embryology thinks about the incipient organisms of various life forms. The
developing lives of numerous creatures, from fish to people, demonstrate likenesses that propose
a typical predecessor.
Molecular biology concentrates on the structure and capacity of the particles that make up cells.
Sub-atomic scientists have looked at quality arrangements among species, uncovering
similitudes among even altogether different creatures.
Paleontology :it is the investigation of ancient life through fossil proof. The fossil record (every
one of the fossils ever found and the data picked up from them) indicates point by point proof of
the adjustments in living things through time.
Advanced cases of natural development can be measured by concentrate the aftereffects of
logical analyses that measure transformative changes in the populaces of li.

Improving searches III: Database Search Techniques
This tutorial provides tips for improving database search techniques, including:
1. Using limiters to narrow results by criteria like date, subject, or resource type. For example, limiting to peer-reviewed journals.
2. Entering terms with "AND" to find results containing both terms, like "viruses AND computers".
3. Entering alternative terms with "OR" to broaden results, like searching for "(fruits OR vegetables) AND (orchards OR farms)".
Improving searches I: Revise your search question
This document provides guidance on revising search questions to find more relevant results. It discusses searches being too broad or too narrow. For searches that are too broad and return long lists of articles, it recommends narrowing the search topic by identifying its main aspects and combining keywords. For searches that are too narrow and return few results, it suggests broadening the search by looking at individual parts of the topic in isolation or more general topics on the subject in order to learn more and develop new research directions. The document also provides templates for developing good search topics and advises beginning researchers to use existing research to add to current understanding rather than simply restating others' work.
Improving searches IV: Ask a Librarian
This document advertises research help available from UST Libraries information literacy librarians, who are available 7 days a week by phone, email, chat, text, and Twitter to assist students having trouble with research or those wanting to learn more about resources and search techniques. It directs students in need of assistance to the Ask Us page at http://askus.stthom.edu to find contact details and access an answer database and tutorials.
Improving searches II: Try a Different Resource
This tutorial provides an overview of different resources available at the UST Libraries for research, including databases by subject, UST OneSearch, reference resources, and Google Scholar. It explains that databases by subject and research guides can help identify relevant databases for a topic. UST OneSearch searches books, articles, and other materials. Reference resources like academic encyclopedias and companions can direct users to additional sources. Google Scholar also searches scholarly articles and can find related materials through citation links.
From pub med to f1000
This tutorial teaches users how to find articles from a PubMed search that are recommended in Faculty of 1000. It instructs users to copy their PubMed search string, paste it into the F1000 search box after selecting the PubMed database, and then click "View only Recommended Articles" to see which of their PubMed results are recommended in F1000 and have reviews. The tutorial also notes that recommended articles in F1000 will have a button to access full text resources.

This document provides an overview of searching PubMed, including:
I. PubMed searches the MEDLINE database and provides access to over 21 million records and abstracts indexed with Medical Subject Headings (MeSH).
II. MeSH terms standardize topics across articles and help retrieve related articles that use different terminology for the same concept.
III. Searching PubMed involves using keywords that are matched to MeSH terms, and filters can then focus results; searching for a term as a "MeSH Major Topic" limits to articles where it is a primary topic.
IV. Full text of articles can be accessed through setting preferences in a NCBI account, using the UST OneSearch database which includes Pub

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
