In the text it states, “He did not see nature as particularly kind, but as a cruel system in which species attempted to kill and dominate other species in order to secure the survival of their own kind.” I found this interesting because I thought nature wasn’t a cruel system but when he put it that way it did seem like nature is a cruel system.]]> 2018-04-26 14:01:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255650995 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255651453 Based on my reading of pages 12 through 17 what I found surprising was how many people were against Darwin’s thinking.On page 16 the text says “Darwin’s ideas were extremely controversial in 1859.Some people were upset that he did not see nature as kind.Others thought his vision of how humans evolved conflicted with what was written in the Bible.”I found this surprising because when I read this part of the text it didn’t affect me in any way.

Before reading pages xii-xvii I only knew about Homo sapiens, mammals, birds, amphibians. Reptiles, and fish. All the other names provided a deeper understanding of the animal kingdom. I got confused for remembering which name meant what. I also was wondering why the animal kingdom was organized the way it is. I found interesting how important fish is to us. Before thinking about what the world would be like without fish, I didn’t notice that fish and many other animals hold up the food chain. If any part of the food chain breaks, the world will have a down fall. I found surprising how all the other Homo genera became extinct beside humans. ]]> 2018-04-26 14:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255652460 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255652574 Based on the reading 12-17 I found surprising that we come from mammals that gradually may developed the human. Based on the order of the Animal Kingdom Mammals (Order=Primates, Family= Hominidae, Genus= homo, Species=Homo Sapiens, and The Human. This is surprising that we are with the animal specie because of the hominidae.]]> 2018-04-26 14:04:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255652574 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255652635 Based on my reading of the text “World Without Fish” what I found interesting was that Charles Darwin saw nature differently than we do. The text says “he did not see nature as particularly nice or kind, but as a cruel system in which species attempted to kill and dominate other species in order to secure the survival of their own kind.” I found this interesting because he thought that all nature was crue/selfish and that is what he mainly focused on.]]> 2018-04-26 14:04:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255652635 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255652860 I found it very interesting why Darwin feels this way about the our actions towards animals. It states on page 17 “It is important to understand that there are not two worlds: the world of humans and a separate world of plants and animals” this proves that Darwin has a strong opinion about people and how we are connected to the rest of the world. That is what i found very interesting in pages 12-17 about Darwin and his opinions.]]> 2018-04-26 14:04:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255652860 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255652875 What I found during reading pages 12 through 17 in world without fish by mark Kurlansky was that how Charles Darwin explained the world now he thought it was a cruel place and also explained how we have different kingdoms of species which is very interesting cause I only thought at first there was only one this is what I found interesting in the reading ]]> 2018-04-26 14:04:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255652875 jhenny2468 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255652943 Based one my reading of pages xii-xiiv what I found interesting, surprising, or confusing about is is that  people thought that Charles Darwin’s explanation about that before men were apes monkeys and evolved to human beings is true but at the ame time people did no believe him.]]> 2018-04-26 14:04:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255652943 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255652960 What I found interesting was how they were talking about species of animals because there are alot that I don’t know that I may have found out about when I was reading.]]> 2018-04-26 14:04:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255652960 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255653008 Based on my reading of the text I found it interesting it says “ We tend to care more about our own our class mammals such as whales and seals and polar bears than we do about fish. Is that because they are in a different class?”]]> 2018-04-26 14:04:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255653008 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255653092 Based on my reading I found surprising when the text said “ Killling our own species is the worst thing we can do. Killing close relatives to our species like monkeys, though it occurs, is revolting to most of us.” This is surprising because the author went straight to his point and how we are killing close species and how we are disrespecting our world]]> 2018-04-26 14:05:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255653092 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255653168 I found it very interesting that humans are more affected by the animals that are biologically closer to us than with other species. I found this super interesting because it is true! For instance, we have more affection towards pandas then we do for a fly. If we see a panda being hurt, we immediately feel bad for it and want to save it. But if we see a fly being mistreated or swatted away, we could care less. That is what I found very interesting about “A World Without Fish”

I also thought it was cool that he added some of Charles Darwin’s thinking and what he studied through his life and what it was all about. I also thought it was nice that he introduced everything instead of just jumping right in and not explaining what he did. ]]> 2018-04-26 14:05:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255653320 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255653729 Based in my reading, what I found interesting was how Charles Darwin thought that Nature was Cruel. The text says “Species attempted to kill and dominate other species. I found this interesting because were species and we do kill other species and sometimes we make them go extinct. So I find Charles Darwin Theory of us evolving from monkeys interesting, this is what I found interesting.]]> 2018-04-26 14:06:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255653729 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255654205 What I found suprising in ” World Without Fish” pages 12-17 was that Charles Darwin is saying that “the birds which are idly singing round us, mostly live on insects or seeds, and are thus constantly destroying life” I found this surprising because it’s part of the food chain and it’s what birds need to survive

This was surprising to me because someone that studies nature should think it was a beautiful thing rather than something that is cruel. To me, nature is beautiful. For all these reasins 5hat is what I found surprising in world without fish.]]> 2018-04-26 14:10:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255655553 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255657184 I found it surprising that the man that made the theory of evolution is so important to understand why the loss of fish is a problem, as the text says, because, if anything, evolution would allow animals which depend on fish to live without them, but, it’s actually the reason that fish are disappearing.]]> 2018-04-26 14:12:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255657184 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255657884 Something that I found surprising is that by being a vegetarian you eat plants but by eating plants, you are killing animals because some animals live on plants. On page 13 when th3 text states “Ultimately, a vegetarian is a person who rejects killing loving things for his own kingdom- animals-but accepts killing things from other kingdoms - plants.” This can show that by not killing animals you are killing plants which eventually can kill animals anyway. As you can see, this is what I found surprising in the text.]]> 2018-04-26 14:14:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/vjyfbkjic22q/wish/255657884
