The Tailbone's Connected to the.........

 

All Mammals share the vertebrae also known as a tailbone. The human tailbone is similar to the tail bone of  many animals. The tailbone is proof of human evolution. Despite their outwardly differences they have the same form but they have different functions. "Other mammal find their tails useful for balance, but when humans learned to walk, the tail bone in humans became useless and evolution converted it to just some fused vertebrae we call a coccyx"~ Lifscience.com

  Animal tails are used in a variety of ways. They provide a source of locomotion for fish and some other forms of marine life. Many land animals use their tails to brush away flies and other biting insects, this analogous structure serves a different purpose for different mammals

Jean-Baptiste Lamarck and Charles Darwin both had different opinions about how life on earth evolved. Although, Lamarck and Darwin ideals regarding life on earth differ they also shared similarities. For instance, both Lamarck and Darwin both recognized that life had changed over time, in addition Lamarck also agreed life evolved from organisms. Lamarck believed that living things changed to adapt to their surroundings. for example, Lamarck believed that the giraffe stretched its neck to reach high for eating and subsequently the changes are passed on to giraffes’ offspring. Several years after Lamarck’s Theory of Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics was published Darwin book Origin of Species dealing with natural selection was published.

Darwin’s book pointed to the inconsistency of species from common ancestors. Darwin was influenced by Lamarck and spent many years considering Lamarck’s theory that over time living things change to adapt to their environment.

If the environment changes, the traits that are helpful or adaptive to that environment will be different. Organisms with those new adaptive traits will have greater reproductive success than others and those new beneficial traits will spread, producing a change in the population.  This is the process of natural selection, essentially the process of the natural environment selecting the organisms that will be most successful.

Darwin it is believed that Darwin was interested in life and how life evolve. I believe because of his contemporizes work it encouraged Darwin to set out on a journey to understand the process of natural selection.

No doubt Darwin was closed mouth about his theory on evolution and the process of life due to the overwhelming influence the churches had on society at that time. Darwin’s life would have been at risk if the churches felt that Darwin was undermining the bible.

Two items I would take to a desert island.

 If I were stranded on a desert island the two items I would take with me would be a fire starter and water purification pills. I would have plenty of water to sustain myself by using the purification pills. I would also have fire to provide warmth, cooking and provide light at night.
