Life After Chaos

Article Abstract:

A study of the rise and fall of population is given through research on the damselfishes off the Great Barrier Reef. Through the nesting patterns and the hatching of the larvae, the studies found that natural forces are hindering most from reaching maturity. The factors which played a part in inhibiting the growth are given as well as the nonlinear dynamics used by ecologists to understanding populations.

Kenyan Skeleton Shakes Ape Family Tree

Article Abstract:

A 1993 discovery in Kenya led to the excavation of an ape fossil, some 11 million to 16 million years old. The discovery is considered a very important one in that this is the period when primitive apes evolved into the ancestors of the great apes and of human beings. It does not, however, clarify exactly which ape was the true ancestor of humans and the great apes.

New Date for the Dawn of Dream Time

Article Abstract:

Researchers claim to have found the oldest human remains ever dug up in Australia at Lake Mungo. The age of the skeleton is estimated to be 62,000 years, which would put human beings in Australia earlier than previously thought. This, in turn, throws doubt on the theory that all modern humans descended from a single African population about 100,000 years ago.
