- Homogolous vs. analogous structures
- Convergent / divergent evolution
- inherited / aquired characteristics
- DNA: simularities/differences
- Early beliefs about evolution
Thoughts:
- I think it makes a lot of sense that natural selection and mutations are mostly responsible for evolution.
- i also think its interesting that species can evolve into different species if they're isolated.
- Although we have tons of evidence to support the current theory of evolution, there is some evidence that challenges every thing we believe. this evidence is that of the crystal skulls. These skulls are apparently thousands of years old and could not have been made with primitive tools. the only way they could have been made is with some sort of power cutter. if these skulls really are thousands of years old, then it suggests there was once advanced civilization before us. I do a bad job of summarizing the whole story of it, so i strongly suggest to anyone reading that you should really check out the links below. each link is a part of a huge tv special about this mystery. check it out, it's enlightening!

Cool. I'll have to watch all of the episodes this summer. I tend to be on the skeptical side of things, but if you don't watch and listen, you can't make an informed decision. It does raise questions regarding the theory of evolution, though.
