Los pulmones de los organismos que respiran aire y la vejiga natatoria de casi todos los peces actuales han evolucionado a partir delos sacos aéreos dobles de los primitivos peces óseos. En éstos, igual que la vejiga natatoria en los actuales, los sacos aéreos seinflaban y desinflaban para determinar la profundidad a la que nadaba el pez. En otros grupos de peces se transformaron enpulmones primitivos, provistos de abundantes repliegues para maximizar la absorción de oxígeno en un medio pobre en...

Anaxagoras therefore suggested that all things are composed of very small particles, or “seeds,” which exist in infinite variety. To explain the way in whichthese particles combine to form the objects that constitute the familiar world, Anaxagoras developed a theory of cosmic evolution. He maintained that the activ...

Michigan - geography.

The interior location of Michigan in the northern part of North America results in a continental climate, characterized by four definite seasons with moist, mild to hotsummers and snowy, cold winters. Winds off of Lakes Michigan and Superior in winter create heavy snow accumulations in nearby areas. The tempering effects of LakeMichigan account for the presence of the state’s famous fruit-growing belt along the lake’s shore. Since the water is colder than the land in spring, the westerly windspa...

Cette théorie, appelé évolutionnisme, leur viens de Charles Darwin, est illustré ici à travers le personnage de Georges Duroy, qui semble t...
