Paleo Slide Sets

  • Vegetation zonation with elevation has shifted over the last 40,000 years in the Grand Canyon.
  • fossil record shows that biological communities are loose amalgamations of species with similar physiological tolerances; these amalgamations reorganize into both similar and different combinations during
    times of change.

Big surprise: The brains of men and women view beauty differently - OregonLive.com

  • Men process beauty on the right side of their brains, while women use their whole brain to do the job
  • women consider a visual object they link it to language while men concentrate on the spatial aspects of the object

Paleo Slide Sets

  • Such DNA "fingerprinting" can be used to confirm
    species identifications based on leaf morphology,
    to identify hybrid zones, and to determine if changes in genotype frequencies
    accompanied large-scale migrations during the last deglaciation.

Paleo Slide Sets

  • Each midden sample may contain tens of thousands of plant parts,
  • The sorted materials
    are archived and then mined for special studies, which include the extraction and sequencing of ancient DNA.

Paleo Slide Sets

  • this midden from the Garrison site in western Utah contains objects gathered by a packrat some 13,480 14C years ago, including plants and animals that no longer exist at this site.
  • The plant material found in the midden indicates that the vegetation at this site was once an open limber pine
    (Pinus flexilis) woodland.

  • if you try to be a good person and do the right thing, then you should be saving the evidence so when someone tries to paint you as a bad person, you can pull out the email or document and wave it in their face and remind them who did what to whom
  • Surely the CDs represent proof of ownership.
    If the RIAA comes calling, you can produce them in the same way as the documents mentioned in the blog post. :)
