Ch.13 - The Frozen Zoo in San Diego has the largest number of species on ice. In 1974 the Endangered Species Act was passed. This has saved many species. Will humans cause the sixth extinction? THE END! @OlatheANMLHLTH

Ch. 12 - Neanderthals are extinct, however, they shaped the genetics of many modern humans. Europeans and Asians have more of a resemblance to Neanderthal DNA than other humans. @OlatheANMLHLTH

Ch.11 - Were humans responsible for the extinction of large mammals? Large peaceful mammals had no predators before man. They were slow to reproduce. Elephants gestation period is 22 months🐘. @OlatheANMLHLTH

Ch.10-A white fungus was killing off the bats in Albany, NY. When a new species is introduced to a new environment, it can consume resources others need & can cause those to die off. Extinction of bat species can spread to other bats & cause mass-extinction.🦇@OlatheANMLHLTH

Ch.9 - In the Amazon Forest in Brazil🇧🇷, Reserve 1202 is 25 acres of rainforest controlled by the BDFFP. 5,000 rainforest species go extinct annually. For every species that disappears, hundreds of others species are impacted. @OlatheANMLHLTH

Ch.8 - In the Manu National Park in Peru 🇵🇪, Miles Silverman is studying the impact of global warming on tree species. He has 2 1/2 acres plots of land at different elevations that grow different types of species because the temperature varies in each one. 🌳 @OlatheANMLHLTH

Ch.7 - The Great Barrier reef is off the coast of Australia🇦🇺. Reefs grow by adding new life forms. Carbon dioxide is a threat to reefs. The great barrier reef is home to many marine animals including the unicorn fish🦄. @OlatheANMLHLTH

Ch.6 - Ocean acidification is threatening the creatures that live there. About 1/3 of the carbon dioxide that humans pumped into the air has been absorbed by the oceans. This is threatening ocean life. @OlatheANMLHLTH

Ch.5 - Paradigm shifts are a good way in which to study the history of evolutionary science. Is it possible for human beings to go extinct due to the change in composition of the earths atmosphere? @OlatheANMLHLTH

Ch.4 - Just north of Rome ouside the town of Gubbio is a narrow gorge known as Gola del Bottaccione. Walter Alvarez came to study the Apennines. He discovered the giant astroid that end of the Cretaceous period. @OlatheANMLHLTH
