Hutton’s concept of “deep time” says the idea that our planet’s history stretches back over a period so long that it is difficult for the human mind to imagine. In this world there is tons of mystery and confusion of things that you would not understand until after death. ]]> 2020-08-26 17:44:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ksmith1088/gd92ccedqnzy7jaw/wish/700695543 Claire Kennedy https://padlet.com/ksmith1088/gd92ccedqnzy7jaw/wish/703375252 A little off topic, but I found the section on Thomas Malthus's studies of human and species overpopulation very interesting. It leads me to wonder how the recent coronavirus related deaths have effected issues in countries that had been struggling with over population. ]]> 2020-08-27 18:06:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ksmith1088/gd92ccedqnzy7jaw/wish/703375252 22jackm https://padlet.com/ksmith1088/gd92ccedqnzy7jaw/wish/705735870 Thomas Malthus's overpopulation idea was very interesting and makes a lot of sense because if all this death, war, famine, and viruses and such didn't go around the world would be overpopulated. Even though its a terrible thing for example the Black Plague it was terrible but better for the future for humanity.

If I wouldn't have kept reading, I would have been very intrigued on how that would've worked. But, as reading Malthus's work, I wondered why is it that some plants/animals produce more or less fruit or milk? Is it because of their habitat? Wouldn't all species produce the same amount? 22wilsonf https://padlet.com/ksmith1088/gd92ccedqnzy7jaw/wish/707283788 2020-08-30 14:12:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ksmith1088/gd92ccedqnzy7jaw/wish/707283788 Maddie Proano https://padlet.com/ksmith1088/gd92ccedqnzy7jaw/wish/707535382 Lamarck's was quite interesting to read because we knew that his hypothesis wasn't true. But its amazing to read Lamarck's thought like "organisms  could change the size or shape of their organs by using their bodies in new ways." and we all knew that his idea wasn't true.

The forces also create mountain ranges. ]]> 2020-08-31 02:28:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ksmith1088/gd92ccedqnzy7jaw/wish/707818586 Bowen Young https://padlet.com/ksmith1088/gd92ccedqnzy7jaw/wish/707939318 It is really cool and interesting how both Darwin and Lyell at the time were, in a way, unable to show the scientific discoveries due to things like the church not allowing them or people not believing in them. But it is amazing how both their discoveries fall in line. On page 455 where Darwin discovers fossils of sea creatures well above the sea level, it proves both of their theories. That animals do evolve from past species related to them and the Earth is constantly changing and evolving.]]> 2020-08-31 04:12:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ksmith1088/gd92ccedqnzy7jaw/wish/707939318 https://padlet.com/ksmith1088/gd92ccedqnzy7jaw/wish/708535400 Fran Barbeito
I thought the section about uniformitism was very interesting. “This way of thinking called uniformtism, holds that the geological processes we see in action today must be the same ones that shaped the earth millions of years ago.” How did he come to the conclusion that it shaped the earth millions of years ago? What evidence helped prove this? ]]> 2020-08-31 12:54:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ksmith1088/gd92ccedqnzy7jaw/wish/708535400 Katherine: 22katherinep https://padlet.com/ksmith1088/gd92ccedqnzy7jaw/wish/708543526 It is interesting to me that Dawin originally called it artifitual selection seeing that it eventually is called natural selection and these two words or quite different in meaning. I also have a question, and it is how was Larmarck's definition of natural selection different from Darwins? This part confused me because they sounded almost exactly the same when I red the text,]]> 2020-08-31 12:57:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ksmith1088/gd92ccedqnzy7jaw/wish/708543526
