JURASSIC WORLD and INDOMINUS REX What do you do when you want to boost visitor attendance to your dinosaur-dominated, Jurassic World theme park? Use DNA, from four different dinosaurs, and “in the Hammond lab” create something entirely new and fearsome. Then ... give the new creature a name which signifies its awesome power: Indominus rex. At least ... that’s how the story theme works in the 2015 film “Jurassic World.” So ... let’s travel back in time, to the age of the dinosaurs, and meet the four interesting creatures whose DNA led to this new and ferocious predator: Rugops; Carnotaurus; Giganotosaurus; Majungasaurus. If—contrary to plan—Indominus rex becomes a killing machine, we have to ask: Did she “inherit” that trait from her “ancestors?” Let’s examine the question, starting with Rugops (ROO-gops). What we know about this theropod, from a physical standpoint, comes from a single, nearly complete and fossilized skull. With its weak but gaping jaw and skull, Rugops—which means “wrinkle face”—is not a predator like the Cretaceous-Period Spinosaurus. Instead, Rugops is a natural-born scavenger, likely waiting in the wings for what’s left of a Spinosaurus-caught, Cretaceous-era fish known as Onchopristis. Living off the scraps of meals, killed by another creature, could be enough for a Rugops.

Looking at animals: when visual nature questions visual culture 1 A topos of Western philosophy indexes animals’ irreducible alienation from the human condition on their lack of speech. In ancient times, their inarticulate cries provided the necessary analogy to designate non-Greeks as other, the adjective “Barbarian” assimilating foreign languages to incomprehensible birdcalls.1 To this day, the exclusion of animals from the sphere of logos remains one of the crucial questions addressed by philosophy and linguistics.2 In the work of some contemporary critics, however, the tenets of this relation to the animal “other” seem to have undergone a change in focus. With renewed insistence that difference is inextricably bound up in a sense of proximity, such writings have described animals not simply as “other,” but as our speechless others. This approach seems to find particularly fruitful ground where theory proposes to explore ways of seeing as constitutive of the discursive structures that we inhabit.

  • Protect the Planet Study Guide
    www.didgedownunder.com Study Guide for Protect the Planet! Earth Science - Environmental Entertainment! by Rob Thomas & Tanya Gerard, PTP Creators / Performers Birth of the Universe For thousands of years, humans have looked to the stars for guidance and insight to the world in which we live. In the last 100 years, we've had a series of breakthroughs in our understanding of the birth of the universe, the beginning of time, and where we came from. Birth of the Universe Scientists now believe that our universe began 13.8 billion years ago, with one enormous explosion of energy and light, which we now call the Big Bang. It was an unimaginably hot, dense point. Birth of the Universe When the universe was just a hundredth of a billionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second in age — it experienced an incredible burst of expansion known as inflation, in which space itself expanded faster than the speed of light. This was the singular start to everything that exists - the beginning of the universe, the creation of space, and even the initial beginning of time itself. Birth of the Universe Less than 15 minutes after the Big Bang- nuclear fusion took place that created hydrogen and helium the actual composition of stars. About 20 minutes after the big bang, the universe was no longer hot enough for nuclear fusion but far too hot for electrons to bond to atoms. Birth of the Universe (Nuclear fusion is the process of making a single heavy nucleus (part of an atom) from two lighter nuclei- the positively charged central core of an atom.

  • Prehistoric Life SNC210/SW259 (Online Course)
    DePaul University -School of Continuing and Professional Studies Prehistoric Life SNC210/SW259 (Online Course) COURSE SYLLABUS Version: Spring 2019 Kevin F. Downing Ph.D. AUTHOR [ © 2014+, All Rights Reserved by the Author. Printed in the U.S.A.] Course Description: Course Description This course promotes students’ investigation of fossils to interpret the character of 3.5 billion years of biological evolution and ecological change on earth. By way of scientific reasoning, mathematical inference, and applicable technologies, emphasis is on the exploration of earliest evidence of life, development of multi-celled plants and animals, dinosaur evolution, mass extinction events, mammal diversification, human origins as well as appraisal of the societal reliance on fossil resources and the persistent debate over evolution versus creation. Learning is assessed through labs, a fieldtrip, a short exam, video summaries, contributions to online discussions, and a research paper in a scientific format. Learning Experience This online course progresses through 10 paleobiology-themed modules that employ a combination of readings (text and scholarly articles) and multimedia resources (archived online videos, Paleontology Society Portal websites, and National Science Digital Library multimedia). Corresponding laboratory exercises and analytical video reviews alternate every other week with laboratory exercises employing fossil specimen kits, online 3D virtual fossils, online paleontology databases (Fossilworks), as well as online simulations of natural selection and the history of life (Bio-alive). Students are required to participate in weekly online discussions that reinforce module concepts and student critical thinking through original contributions and collaborative responses to classmates. Students undertake a structured self-directed fieldtrip to a natural history museum (e.g., Field Museum, Milwaukee Public Museum) or an actual fossil site to conduct an original study centering on a paleontological hypothesis.
