Based on my reading of the pages XII-XVII in World 🌎 Without fish 🐠 I found it surprising that Charles Darwin contradicts what the Bible(word of the lord)has stated/claimed. I also found him research to be based on his personal world view. I found this intuguing because at first I agreed with his work and, thought 💭it was correct. Although because I am Christian I changed my opinion do to the fact that it is against my religion. ;)

Based on this reading I found it interesting that humans and codfish got grouped together. This was interesting because without hearing the evidence it would seem like human and codfish are completely different.

I found that the fact that there were Homo Genera like us who have become extinct was interesting because we wonder what they had looked like. The text claims that small shifts in nature can affect the greatest of animal species. This describes why the other species of Homo Genera have died off. Also the text states that some species have become so advanced that other species aren’t taken care of. This shows how humans have become so advanced that other Homo Genera have died or becam extinct.

Based on my reading of pages xiii-XVII, I found it surprising that no one believed Charles Darwin. Darwin made many great ideas about the groups of animals that are connected. Probably people during his time thought that he is going crazy, but when you think about it, it’s believable. Darwin made many classes of animals with very interesting names like “genus” and my favorite, ”phylum”. I like this name because there are so many groups that are connected to the class. He also made the point about how us humans are the only surviving species of “Homo genera”, that’s why we are called Homo sapiens. This is just a bit of what Darwin said that was too crazy for other people to believe.

Based on my readings of pages 12-17, what I found interesting and surprising is that humans care more about mammals than fish. In the text it states, “ We tend to care more about our own class—mammals, such as whales, and seals and polar bears—than we do about fish”. I found this really surprising because we seem to care about ourselves, mammals, then other types of classes.

Based on my readings of pages xiii through xvii, i found it interesting that in page.16/xvi it says “ Day by day-even hour by hour-changed the order of nature. These shifts continue to happen, so slightly that we don’t even notice. But things are changing and, over time, these changes can be enormous.” This is because it’s interesting that the order of nature can change hour by hour without anybody noticing.

I found it confusing that someone took the time to invent all the animal kingdoms because well animals are animals leave it as it is.

Based on last nights reading I found it surprising that Darwin actually came up with his theory of Evolution with the technology he had.

I found it interesting how many people believed Darwinism, as back then most people were especially religious, and having something not be like how (in this case) the Bible said it was was usually punished with something like death. For as controversial as the ideas were, the book made it sound like a lot of people actually believed Darwin in his way of thinking

What I found interesting during the reading of XII - XVII was that it was said that Darwin’s theories connected with things in the Bible. I was confused what it meant by that, but i just found it interesting.

Based on my reading of pages XII-XVII, I found it interesting that cod fish are categorized in the same group as humans are. In the text it states, “Killing our own species is the worst thing we can do.” This brought my attention because I never thought about what fish or animals being in the same group, especially that cod fish have white flesh favored by Homo Sapiens which are humans.

Based on pages XII-XVII I found it interesting that the book said that we care more for creatures that are genetically closer to us. I thought that was a very unique and unheard of statement.

I found it surprising that catagoies amimals could be sorting into, I found this surprising because I only heard of a select few.

What I found interesting is that there are living things divided into kingdoms and have species in them for example we are in phylum category and there are fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds and mammals. We are in the mammal colum. Our scientific name is Homo sapiens. Also what I found interesting is that we eat more things that are in a different kingdom such as plants. This is what I found interesting.

based on my reading of pgs xii- xvii in world without fish by mark kurlansky what i found interesting & surprising is that in the text it states “ a vegetarian is a human who rejects killing living animals from his own kingdom animals but accepts killing from the other kingdom plants “. i found this surprising and interesting because if your not killing one kingdom you are killing another kingdom. this is what i found interesting & suprising based on my reading of pgs xii - xvii in world without fish by mark kurlansky.

I found it interesting that we are the only species left incur species, hominidae. I was wondering, what happened to the other species? Also, it was interesting to read about a person that doesn’t like nature. I was thinking whyyyyyyy?!?! 🤔His side is that it’s a only one species survives nature but I like to focus on the beautiful things in nature, not the violence.
