Fossils are the preserved remains of an animal or plant in a rock. Many of the fossils discovered so far are the ancestors of organisms that are alive today. The study of fossils is called paleontology. Much of what we understand about evolution comes from studying fossils. When organisms die, t
The theory of evolution states that individuals within a species show wide degrees of variation, and those individuals with characteristics best suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. This theory grew from studying the variations and similarities in living animals and

In this video segment from NOVA: "Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial," paleontologist Neil Shubin recounts a fossil discovery that added another compelling piece to the body of evidence that supports evolution. Shubin's find of a well-preserved skeleton, a "fishapod," represents a transitiona

Click here to see more videos: https://alugha.com/FuseSchool Like all living organisms, humans need resources to live. We need food, clean water and a shelter to live in. A few thousand years ago, this is all we would have wanted - a full stomach and a warm, dry home. But, as the human race has d
Komodo dragons mainly live on the island of Komodo, after which they are named. But fossils show they were once much more widespread. Their ancestors originated in Australia. Authors: ZDF/Terra X/R. Rauert/Marc Trompetter/Maximilian Heß Translation and dubbing: alugha Click here to see more video
Stromatolites are calcareous deposits. The stones can be up to 3.5 billion years old. For a long time they were known only as fossils, until 1956, when a "living" colony of stromatolites was discovered off the west coast of Australia. Author: ZDF/Terra X/Viking Film/Iris Gesang/Andreas Kieling, Fra
Carbon dioxide is a product of one of the most important chemical reactions in the world: combustion. Like water, the bonds in carbon dioxide are POLAR COVALENT, making the carbon atom delta positive and the oxygens delta negative. Although, unlike water, carbon dioxide is not a polar molecule ov
