News & updates on the project using museum-specimen DNA to bring this iconic species all the way back. Extinction Continuum Learn about the genetic situation of a variety of endangered and extinct animals and how biotechnologies might be applied. A continuum of genetic predicaments is matched with a continuum of genetic rescue techniques.Explore the interactive continuum. Criteria Checklist Can a particular extinct species be revived? Never Say Never Extinct heath hen Gazette archives “Heath Hen May Get Its Boom Back” Revive & Restore posed the question of bringing the heath hen back to Martha’s Vineyard.

TEDx Videos On March 15, 2013 at National Geographic, twenty-five extraordinary talks by leading scientists and conservationists were captured on video on the concept of de-extinction.

The Tree of Life Web Project (ToL) is a collaborative effort of biologists and nature enthusiasts from around the world. On more than 10,000 World Wide Web pages, the project provides information about biodiversity, the characteristics of different groups of organisms, and their evolutionary history (phylogeny). Each page contains information about a particular group, e.g., salamanders, segmented worms, phlox flowers, tyrannosaurs, euglenids, Heliconius butterflies, club fungi, or the vampire squid. ToL pages are linked one to another hierarchically, in the form of the evolutionary tree of life.

Starting with the root of all Life on Earth and moving out along diverging branches to individual species, the structure of the ToL project thus illustrates the genetic connections between all living things.

Email If you have been looking for a simple, easy to follow quick guide to evolution… we’ve got it. Our friends at the Skeptics Society gave us permission to reprint this. Below is the text. Learn it. Original Text: 1 If Humans Came From Apes, Why Aren’t Apes Evolving Into Humans? Humans, apes, and monkeys are only distant evolutionary “cousins.” 2 There Are Too Many Gaps in the Fossil Record for Evolution to Be True In fact, there are lots of intermediate fossils. 3 If Evolution Happened Gradually Over Millions of Years Why Doesn’t the Fossil Record Show Gradual Change?

Sudden changes in the fossil record are not missing evidence of gradualism; they are extant evidence of punctuation. 4 No One Has Ever Seen Evolution Happen Evolution is a historical science confirmed by the fact that so many independent lines of evidence converge to this single conclusion. 5 Science Claims That Evolution Happens by Random Chance Natural selection is not “random” nor does it operate by “chance.”
