The first chapter of the book discusses the way we can use fossil records to study the biological world. Fossils are one of the major lines of evidence we use to understand ourselves. Surprisingly, we are able to discover them with a high amount of precision and predictability. In particular, field paleontologists have it easier than it has ever been before due to the current information age. The physical hunt for important fossils, however, is much like it has always been. Three factors limiting the number of useful fossil sites include rock age, type (whether or not it can preserve fossils), and number of exposed rocks.

One reason they cursive should not be forgotten is because of the history that comes from it. For instance, the article states, “Thomas Jefferson penned one of our country’s most famous documents, the Declaration of Independence, in glorious cursive” (Tarshis 19). This piece of evidence shows how some of the most important events in history used cursive, showing how

A brief walk through the history of the ancient Remetch script and its decipherment. The history of hieroglyphics is dated as far back to approximately 3150 BCE and remained in use for over 3300 years for many aspect of life. During that period the script has gone through several writing styles.
