Since we were talking about the Tree of Life today in class, I thought I would take a look and see what I could find. Though this picture comes from Wikipedia I thought it did a good job of showing how science has evolved from the literal looking tree to this almost complete circle. I wonder what it will look like in another million or two years.
I thought this tree idea was very interesting. I learning how organisms have slowly become more and more complex through a process taking millons of years is nearly unbelieveable. I find it difficult to fathom that there are a possible 95000000 species left to find on this earth as well. It sort of makes you feel kind of small in the grand scheme of things.
ReplyDeleteI also thought the tree of life lesson was very cool. I like how it is presented, it gives a great view of how everything started and how things are today. It is very easy to understand and I like how it shows what life was originally like and how it evolved into present day creatures, very interesting.
