LA LÉGENDE MINOENNE La légende de Minos Zeus, le souverain des dieux, enleva Europe, la fille du roi de Phénicie qui jouait avec ses amies sur la plage de Tyr. Pour séduire Europe, Zeus se transforma en un superbe taureau d'une blancheur incomparable et très doux. Minos, roi réel ou mythe, a laissé l'image d'un roi juste. Minos et le Minotaure Pour prouver à ses frères que les dieux sont avec lui, Minos demanda à Poséidon de faire sortir des flots de la mer un taureau blanc qu'il promit de lui sacrifier en retour. Minos envoya alors sa flotte saccager Athènes et exigea après sa victoire sur les Athéniens que ceux-ci lui envoient tous les neuf ans quatorze jeunes de la cité (sept garçons et sept filles) pour nourrir le monstre. Ariane et Thésée Thésée, prince et fils du roi d’Athènes Egée, se porta volontaire pour le sacrifice. Pour se venger, Minos enferma Dédale et son fils Icare dans le Labyrinthe. Phèdre, la sœur d'Ariane épousa Thésée dont elle eut deux enfants. Phèdre, éprise de remords, se pendit. Minos

Artificial selection in the lab Artificial selection in the lab For thousands of years, humans have been influencing evolution, through changes we have caused in the environment — and through artificial selection in the domestication of plants and animals. In many cases, scientists have carefully documented evolution through artificial selection in the lab. John Endler performed experiments in microevolution, allowing artificial selection to manipulate the spots on guppies. After fewer than 15 generations of selection, the markings of guppies in different ponds had substantially diverged as a result of natural selection. Endler then performed another experiment, with the same pond set-ups but without predators. Without predators, there was sexual selection for male guppies that stood out from their background and attracted the attention of the females.
