Responses to NOVA: Evolution Web Quest

PBS:NOVA, Revealing the Origins of Life 

   Chemistry is a major part of how the earth and the beings on it were created. Through chemical processes that formed parts of the RNA such as the phosphate and half of the nucleic base containing genetic information and then the process of evaporation started the recipe for life. The hybrid of RNA would fall from the sky, meet the other half, and then connect and form the RNA helix. Light would then hit the ribo-nucleotides and change the C base into U.


A Neanderthal Burial 

   In the video, there were many skeletons found but one stood out to the researcher. It was that of a young female. She was positions as if asleep but that didn't make sense to the scientist. What they once believed was the site of a cave in, they now think is that of a burial place. The girl had a panther paw next to her and scientists hypothesize that this is a trophy for hunters, much like that of bear hunters cutting off their claws.
