    paleontology, Geology and evolution (Previous Page Next Page) Paleontologistsgenerally come much too late to find anything but skeletons.  
    http://www.agiweb.org/news/evolution/paleo_geo_evol.html
    
    Extractions: (Previous Page Next Page) In Darwin’s day, the fossil record was poorly known, but this is no longer true. A major focus for geologists is establishing the times of origin of the rock formations in the crust of Earth — the science of geochronology . For paleontologists, it is important to know which rock formations were formed at the same time and thus can be correlated, which rocks were formed at different times, and to put the formations into a time sequence from oldest to youngest in any area under study. Fossils are key to establishing the sequence of the ages of layered sedimentary rocks, and they are the direct proof of the changes that have occurred in living organisms through time on our planet. In the mid-1600s, about 200 years before Darwin published his theory of evolution, the Danish scientist Nicholas Steno found that it was possible to establish the order in which layered rocks were deposited. He recognized that particles of sand, mud, and gravel settle from a fluid according to their relative weight. Slight changes in particle size, composition, or transporting agent result in the formation of layers in the rocks; these layers are also called beds or strata . Layering, or bedding, is the most obvious feature of sedimentary rocks. The study of layered (sedimentary) rocks is called

Other research interest range from brachiopods to the history of paleontology and evolution-creation debates. Author of five books, including "the Eternal Trail"(1999) and Tracking Dinosaurs" (1991), and more than 150 scientific papers, and many miscellaneous reports on fossil footprints ( see bibliography Research areas include Colorado, Utah and the Rocky Mountain West, Europe (Wales, England, Spain, Portugal, France Germany, Switzerland), and east and central Asia (especially Korea, Japan and China).

    Extractions: adaptive landscape: A graph of the average fitness of a population in relation to the frequencies of genotypes in it. Peaks on the landscape correspond to genotypic frequencies at which the average fitness is high, valleys to genotypic frequencies at which the average fitness is low. Also called a fitness surface. adaptive logic: A behavior has adaptive logic if it tends to increase the number of offspring that an individual contributes to the next and following generations. If such a behavior is even partly genetically determined, it will tend to become widespread in the population. Then, even if circumstances change such that it no longer provides any survival or reproductive advantage, the behavior will still tend to be exhibited unless it becomes positively disadvantageous in the new environment.

    UC paleontology Museum Puts evolution Online. July 10, 2001— evolutionis the central organizing principle of the life sciences  
    http://www.hhmi.org/news/071001a.html
    
    Extractions: Evolution is the central organizing principle of the life sciences, yet it remains a source of controversy. Teachers, students and the public often have a hard time getting a handle on exactly what evolution is and why it is so important. To help ease the controversy and confusion, the University of California Museum of Paleontology will use a new $390,000, four-year grant from HHMI to develop an interactive Web site on evolution. Different sections of the site will target teachers, middle and high school students, and the public.Teachers will be able to turn to a section of the Web site to find factual information as well as self-study units on topics such as the nature of science, a series of proven teaching strategies, and links to curriculum resources elsewhere on the Internet. For students, a section called Exploring Evolution will provide Web-based activities such as a virtual research lab. Students also will find a guided tour of major concepts in evolution, as well as information about careers in evolutionary biology and a chance to "meet" scientists working in that field. A third section, Evolution Around Us, will offer the public an interactive arena that addresses common misconceptions and controversial issues and provides answers to frequently asked questions.

The Evolution of Everything. Ripoff Press) Why learn about fossils? Some more-or-less practical reasons: (1) Fossils can reveal when, and how fast, organisms appeared, evolved, and became extinct; (2) Fossils are reliable indicators of the age of sedimentary rocks; and (3) Fossils are indicators of past environments. Non-practical reasons include the pleasure of discovery, reconstructing the life of the past, and being able to critique the entire Jurassic Park series. The lecture part of this course will cover the principles of paleontology, the basic morphology and geological significance of important fossil groups, the use of fossils in dating and in deciphering ancient environments, and the major features of evolution as seen in the fossil record. The laboratory part of the course will illustrate the concepts discussed in lecture, introduce you to important groups of fossils, provide field experience in collecting and analyzing fossils, and develop research and writing skills.
