Cycads – Living Fossil

4.5 Billion Years of Earth's History(4.5BYEH), Cycads - Living Fossil April 5, 2019 idb

An ancient lineage of plants that resembles palm trees and are known as cycads once flourished on the Earth. Their descendants of these ancient plants were thought to be “living fossils” that were relatively unchanged since the Age of Dinosaurs.Now scientists find that despite their old-school looks, modern cycads are not actually living fossils at all, but totally different from their bygone relatives. Genetic analysis revealed that cycads only recently emerged sometime between five and 10 million years ago. In fact, the cycads aren’t so much living…

It is used by geologists, paleontologists, and other Earth scientists to describe the timing and relationships of events that have occurred during Earth’s history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r10oh1NHKv4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r10oh1NHKv4

The Origin of Species

4.5 Billion Years of Earth's History(4.5BYEH) April 5, 2019 idb

The Origin of Species Charles Lyell and Joseph Dalton Hooker arranged for both Darwin’s and Wallace’s theories to be presented to a meeting of the Linnaean Society in 1858. Darwin had been working on a major book on evolution and used that to develop On the Origins of Species, which was published in 1859. Wallace, on the other hand, continued his travels and focused his study on the importance of biogeography.

4.5 Billion Years of Earth's History(4.5BYEH), Fern Graden April 3, 2019 idb

行路難（三首其三）(李白) 有耳莫洗潁川水，有口莫食首陽蕨。含光混世貴無名，何用孤高比雲月。吾觀自古賢達人，功成不退皆殞身。子胥既棄吳江上，屈原終投湘水濱。陸機雄才豈自保，李斯稅駕苦不早。華亭鶴唳詎可聞，上蔡蒼鷹何足道。君不見吳中張翰稱達生，秋風忽憶江東行。且樂生前一杯酒，何須身後千載名。晚秋有懷鄭中舊隱(白居易) 天高風嫋嫋，鄉思繞關河。寥落歸山夢，殷勤采蕨歌。病添心寂寞，愁人鬢蹉跎。晚樹蟬鳴少，秋階日上多。長閑羨雲鶴，久別愧煙蘿。其奈丹墀上，君恩未報何？放魚自此後詩到江州作。(白居易) 曉日提竹籃，家僮買春蔬。青青芹蕨下，疊臥雙白魚。無聲但呀呀，以氣相煦濡。傾籃寫地上，撥剌長尺餘。豈唯刀機憂，坐見螻蟻圖。脫泉雖已久，得水猶可蘇。放之小池中，且用救乾枯。水小池窄狹，動尾觸四隅。一時幸苟活，久遠將何如。憐其不得所，移放于南湖。南湖連西江，好去勿跏躕。施恩即望報，吾非斯人徒。不須泥沙底，辛苦覓明珠。石州慢寄題龍首峰(安熙) 龍蟠虎踞，朝楚暮秦，世路艱蹇。夕陽淡淡餘暉，閶闔九重天遠。千秋萬古，先天消長圖深，何人解識興亡本。夜鶴渺翩翩，盡平林鴉滿。蕭散。不須黃鶴，遺書不用，洪崖相挽。蒼狗浮雲，平日慣開青眼。擬將書劍，西山采蕨食薇，自應不屬春風管。只恐汝山靈，怪先生來晚。解悶十二首(杜甫) 草閣柴扉星散居，浪翻江黑雨飛初。山禽引子哺紅果，溪友得錢留白魚。商胡離別下揚州，憶上西陵故驛樓。為問淮南米貴賤，老夫乘興欲東流。一辭故國十經秋，每見秋瓜憶故丘。今日南湖采薇蕨，何人為覓鄭瓜州。沈范早知何水部，曹劉不待薛郎中。獨當省署開文苑，兼泛滄浪學釣翁。李陵蘇武是吾師，孟子論文更不疑。一飯未曾留俗客，數篇今見古人詩。複憶襄陽孟浩然，清詩句句盡堪傳。即今耆舊無新語，漫釣槎頭縮頸鯿。陶冶性靈在底物，新詩改罷自長吟。孰知二謝將能事，頗學陰何苦用心。不見高人王右丞，藍田丘壑漫寒藤。最傳秀句寰區滿，未絕風流相國能。先帝貴妃今寂寞，荔枝還複入長安。炎方每續朱櫻獻，玉座應悲白露團。憶過瀘戎摘荔枝，青峰隱映石逶迤。京中舊見無顏色，紅顆酸甜只自知。翠瓜碧李沈玉甃，赤梨葡萄寒露成。可憐先不異枝蔓，此物娟娟長遠生。側生野岸及江蒲，不熟丹宮滿玉壺。雲壑布衣駘背死，勞生重馬翠眉須。積草嶺（同穀縣界）(杜甫) 連峰積長陰，白日遞隱見。颼颼林響交，慘慘石狀變。山分積草嶺，路異明水縣。旅泊吾道窮，衰年歲時倦。卜居尚百里，休駕投諸彥。邑有佳主人，情如已會面。來書語絕妙，遠客驚深眷。食蕨不願餘，茅茨眼中見。客堂(杜甫) 憶昨離少城，而今異楚蜀。舍舟複深山，窅窕一林麓。棲泊雲安縣，消中內相毒。舊疾甘載來，衰年得無足。死為殊方鬼，頭白免短促。老馬終望雲，南雁意在北。別家長兒女，欲起慚筋力。客堂序節改，具物對羈束。石暄蕨芽紫，渚秀蘆筍綠。巴鶯紛未稀，徼麥早向熟。悠悠日動江，漠漠春辭木。台郎選才俊，自顧亦已極。前輩聲名人，埋沒何所得。居然綰章紱，受性本幽獨。平生憩息地，必種數竿竹。事業只濁醪，營葺但草屋。上公有記者，累奏資薄祿。主憂豈濟時，身遠彌曠職。循文廟算正，獻可天衢直。尚想趨朝廷，毫髮裨社稷。形骸今若是，進退委行色。遣遇(杜甫) 磬折辭主人，開帆駕洪濤。春水滿南國，朱崖雲日高。舟子廢寢食，飄風爭所操。我行匪利涉，謝爾從者勞。石間采蕨女，鬻菜輸官曹。丈夫死百役，暮返空村號。聞見事略同，刻剝及錐刀。貴人豈不仁，視汝如莠蒿。索錢多門戶，喪亂紛嗷嗷。奈何黠吏徒，漁奪成逋逃。自喜遂生理，花時甘縕袍。河之水二首寄子侄老成(韓愈)…
