Today we are going to embark on a journey back to an age that began before the dinosaurs walked the earth. The age I am referring to was an incredible age with incredible creatures. These ancient animals lived nearly 300 million years ago and thrived for about 50 million years. We humans have only been around for about 60,000 years and we have only been using computers for about 75 years. The ancient animals of this age mysteriously became extinct and disappeared from our earth, but left their fossilized remains behind. Fossils have been discovered constantly in human history; the Chinese thought they were dragon bones and Europeans thought they were the bones of biblical monsters. Luckily, the scientific study of ancient animals began in between 1815-1824 with the discovery of an Iguanodon fossil. Since then ancient animals and dinosaurs have been discovered all over the world. Their immense size, strange shapes, and wonderful natures make them inherently worthy of interest. The study of ancient animals requires depth of imagination, analytical skills, and thought. The many unanswered questions about their lives, behavior, and disappearance provoke the curious to seek answers and ask even more questions. I hope this book fuels your imagination and makes you want to learn even more about dinosaurs and the ancient animals which preceded them. I hope you learn to appreciate the value of your study and that you bring a spirit of openness and wonder on your journey back to an ancient age that began before the age of the dinosaurs.

Download or read book Models and Methods for Biological Evolution written by Gilles Didier and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-04-10 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological evolution is the phenomenon concerning how species are born, are transformed or disappear over time. Its study relies on sophisticated methods that involve both mathematical modeling of the biological processes at play and the design of efficient algorithms to fit these models to genetic and morphological data. Models and Methods for Biological Evolution outlines the main methods to study evolution and provides a broad overview illustrating the variety of formal approaches used, notably including combinatorial optimization, stochastic models and statistical inference techniques. Some of the most relevant applications of these methods are detailed, concerning, for example, the study of migratory events of ancient human populations or the progression of epidemics. This book should thus be of interest to applied mathematicians interested in central problems in biology, and to biologists eager to get a deeper understanding of widely used techniques of evolutionary data analysis.

This book was released on 2005-01-19 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our knowledge of extinct animals depends almost entirely upon the study of fossils. This richly illustrated book clothes the skeletons of dinosaurs and other Mesozoic reptiles with flesh, and shows how these fascinating animals evolved and probably lived. Expert author John L. Cloudsley-Thompson provides an interesting synthesis of current views on their ecology, physiology and behaviour, and outlines the various hypotheses that have been proposed to explain their extinction. Numerous beautiful drawings of the animals and their environment illustrate this exciting monograph.
