How many acres did theodore save by signing the antiquities act?? I need to know this ASAP!!!! thank you! ;)?



16 million acres

how does "the antiquities act" view relic hunting (surface only arrowhead hunting)?

My joy in mortal comes from studying and hunting indian artifacts, I dont screen or dig. Do I have any rights on public land?


As lengthy as you are not on private property you can reasonably dig for artifacts. I take my kids out to a local creek that is a fossil hunters dream with sharks teeth. I never have had a complication.

What is the importance of Charles Darwin's theories of evolution?

Darwin's Theory of Growth

Darwin's Theory of Evolution is the widely held notion that all life is related and has descended from a common primogenitor: the birds and the bananas, the fishes and the flowers -- all related. Darwin's general theory presumes the happening of life from non-life and stresses a purely naturalistic (undirected) "descent with modification". That is, complex creatures evolve from more simplistic ancestors simply over time. In a nutshell, as random genetic mutations occur within an organism's genetic code, the beneficial mutations are preserved because they aid survival -- a activity known as "natural selection." These beneficial mutations are passed on to the next generation. Over time, beneficial mutations aggregate and the result is an entirely different organism (not just a variation of the original, but an entirely different creature).


Darwin's Theory of Evolvement; Natural Selection

While Darwin's Theory of Evolution is a relatively young archetype, the evolutionary worldview itself is as old as antiquity. Obsolete Greek philosophers such as Anaximander postulated the development of life from non-life and the evolutionary descent of man from animal. Charles Darwin only brought something new to the old philosophy -- a plausible mechanism called "natural selection." Natural selection acts to pickle and accumulate minor advantageous genetic mutations. Suppose a member of a species developed a functional advantageously (it grew wings and learned to fly). Its offspring would inherit that advantage and pass it on to their offspring. The inferior (disadvantaged) members of the same species would inchmeal die out, leaving only the superior (advantaged) members of the species. Natural selection is the preservation of a functional advantage that enables a species to fence better in the wild. Natural selection is the naturalistic equivalent to domestic breeding. Over the centuries, human breeders have produced spectacular changes in domestic animal populations by selecting individuals to breed. Breeders eliminate undesirable traits gradate over time. Similarly, natural selection eliminates inferior species gradually over time.




Why do you think his theories were powerful? What did they contribute to science? thank you (:


Extended story short.

It gave us a good blueprint of how life came to be as it is and is used in medical research today.

they in actuality take bacteria and they put it in situations to see how it will evolve and answer. It is way to complex to get into here but they found protiens this way that resist corrision by hydrogen peroxide.

It allows scientists to jot genes and structures back and see why they came to be as they are and give a base for where they migth evolve next.


FYI...he called it "Natural Selection" because the sitting Artifical Selection was already used by breeders who bred cattle, horses, dogs, etc in accordance with the traits desired
