There has been debate over the present day characteristics of biomes of tropical regions. For some, they are seen as a natural response to the climate of the area, whereas for others they are regarded as a product of human interference. Discuss the statement in the context of the tropical biome you have studied. [40] A tropical rainforest is an ecosystem type that occurs roughly within the latitudes 28 degrees north or south of the equator (in the equatorial zone between the Tropic of Cancer and

believe that 作者主要用通俗大眾化的手筆寫此書，最常出現的論點也是針對創造論（Creation）或化名為智慧設計（Intelligence design）而寫。他認為演化學學者有責任提出更多的證據，讓大眾更相信演化，演化不只是「學說」而已，已是證據十足的科學事實。 此書除了序及前言外共九章。先來介紹每章寫些什麼，第一章〈什麼是演化〉，他提出六點演化的基本觀念，首先演化是一「事實」，第二必須瞭解演化是「漸進的」，第三點是「分種（Splitting）」或更正確「專門化（Speciation）」，這跟第四點的共祖（Commom ancestory）其實是一體兩面的事質，有共同祖先以後分開各自專門成新種，第五及第六是大自然的選擇及非選擇性的方式所引起的演化。 這書的特點是舉出不少實例來說明像上述六點的演化特性，不能詳述。這種實例較能說服人。同樣以下各章也舉出很多實例，第二章談化石的證據，可以看出動植物的演化，顯示魚上陸演化變成兩棲類、爬蟲類、鳥及哺乳類。化石也說明哺乳類的鯨又如何從陸上到海洋，化石找到不少這些演化過程的證據。最讓人信服應該是過渡期的動物化石，如似哺乳類的爬蟲、似鳥類的恐龍等等，有的還找到相當完整的化石。

Feathers are an exaptation- evolved in context of insulation, now used for different function (flight) Adaptive Radiation: a single lineage (common ancestor) undergoes rapid speciation and ecological diversification to form multiple new species. Can occur when: Key Adaptation Adaptations that allow a lineage to exploit new habitats( or resources) and diversify rapidly If key adaptations evolve convergently in different groups:

When I started the Evolution class, I was a little skeptic about whether or not I would believe in the theory of evolution were to be true. I was raised in a Baptist home where we were taught the God created the Heavens and the Earth in the book of Genesis. In Genesis 1 states that in the beginning the earth was without form and was dark. God divided the light from the darkness and created night from day. Throughout all that I was taught, I always wonder if there was something there before the
