Discuss the two phylogenetic theories of the phylum tardigrada. Describe the evidence for each idea. Where do you think the “water bears” fit into evolutionary relationships?
Answer one of these three questions. 1] Name and describe the 3 major evolutionary models, including their associated researchers, species, locations, evidence, time line etc. 2] Describe 3 traits unique to the crania, dentition and post crania for these species; Australopithecus aferensis, Homo erectus, Homo heidelbergensis, Homo neandertalensis and Homo sapiens. 3] Describe in detail the environmental situation and cultural inventions and capabilities concerning Homo erectus leaving Africa.

The discovery of theories such as the law of gravity, newton’s law of motion, the law of floatation and many others have had a great influence in the evolution of technology. Identify any three recent inventions or technology and indicate the theory or principle behind it and explain how it works.
