    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.

Evolution in Hawaii: A Supplement to Teaching About Evolution and the Nature of Science Evolution in Hawaii examines evolution and the nature of science by looking at a specific part of the world the Hawaiian Islands. By focusing on one set of islands, this book illuminates the general principles of evolutionary biology and how ongoing research will continue to expand our knowledge of the natural world. This practical book has been specifically designed to give teachers and their students an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of evolution using exercises with real genetic data to explore and investigate speciation and the probable order in which speciation occurred based on the ages of each island.

    http://www.trueorigin.org/whales.asp
    
    Extractions: Creation Matters , a newsletter published by the Creation Research Society onventional wisdom among evolutionists, at least at the popular level, is that whales descended from Mesonychidae, an early and diverse family of land mammals that were well adapted for running. It is hypothesized that some mesonychid species began feeding on creatures inhabiting shallow waters and that over many generations the selective pressures created by this change of diet transformed one or more of the species into an amphibious archaeocete. The selective pressures of amphibious living in turn generated a variety of archaeocetes and eventually transformed one or more of the species into a fully marine archaeocete. Marine existence then shaped further adaptations to produce the 75 to 77 living species of whales, porpoises, and dolphins. The purpose of this article is to suggest that the fossil evidence for the mesonychid-to-whale transition is not persuasive, let alone conclusive.

    http://www.amherst.edu/~geology/dept_history/
    
    Extractions: Our department has an unusually rich and storied history. Below are brief views into Amherst Geology history. In 1826 Amherst College had a total of 136 students but by 1836 it had grown to 259 students, making it larger than Harvard and slightly smaller than Yale (Cooper, 1990, p. 13). The College Catalogue of 1826 mentions the courses "Cleaveland's Mineralogy" and "Geology" that were developed by a new teacher, Edward Hitchcock, Professor of Chemistry and Natural History (1825-64). Hitchcock was to have a long and influential career at the college. Frederic Loomis (class of 1896) came to Amherst in 1899 and taught Biology and Comparative Anatomy until 1917 at which time he became the Hitchcock Professor of Mineralogy and Geology. Loomis was a Vertebrate Paleontologist, but he also taught other geology courses. He took Amherst students on over 18 digs in the U.S. and South America. He died at a dig in Alaska in 1937. Many of the Pratt Museum skeletons resulted from those expeditions. Meanwhile, George Bain had come to Amherst in 1926, about 100 years after Hitchock had arrived. He retired in 1965. Bain, an economic mineralogist, was responsible during WWII for finding critical uranium deposits in South Africa. These deposits were needed in the construction of the Atomic bomb. Bain taught structural geology, mineralogy, and geomorphology, and was assisted by Loomis who taught paleontology and evolution.

    http://www.palaeos.com/Invertebrates/Arthropods/Eurypterida/Eurypterida.htm
    
    Extractions: Eurypterid links The Eurypterida are an extinct Paleozoic group of chelicerate arthropods of which 200 fossil species are known. These were spectacular animals, although very rare as fossils. The largest, such as Pterygotus ; reached 2 meters and more in length, but most species were less than 20 cm. Although called "sea scorpions" only the earliest ones were marine. Most lived in brackish water, sheltered lagoons etc. Many species inhabited shallow aquatic environments and some may have been amphibious, emerging onto land for at least part of their life cycle. They may have been capable of breathing both in water and in air. Their morphology suggests that they fed on a variety of kinds of foods. Some forms like Mixopterus were very scorpion-like and may have even been ancestral to scorpions . About two dozen families of eurypterids are known. Baltoeurypterus tetragonophthalmus

    http://www.strangescience.net/
    
    Extractions: Ever wonder how people figured out there used to be such things as dinosaurs? Curious about how scientists learned to reconstruct fossil skeletons? The knowledge we take for granted today was slow in coming, and along the way, scientists and scholars had some weird ideas. This Web site shows some of their mistakes, provides a timeline of events, gives biographies of a few of the people who have gotten us where we are today, and lists resources you can use to learn more. Strange ideas didn't end with the Middle Ages. Savants took centuries to unravel the process of fossilization, many of them suspecting that nature fashioned odd stones just for fun. Living animals often proved as puzzling as fossils when scholars had to make sense of the weird specimens that explorers brought back to Europe from other continents. And belief in monsters and omens persisted well into the Renaissance, fueled in part by the religious tensions of the Reformation. But over time, fascination with oddities led to a better understanding of the history of life. Starting in the late 18th century, Georges Buffon and later Georges Cuvier suggested that the earth was much older than anyone had previously imagined. By studying the fossil record, 19th-century geologist John Phillips divided the ages of the earth into three eras: Paleozoic (old life), Mesozoic (middle life) and Cenozoic (new life).
