While Scientists have used an imaging spectrometer on MRO, they have detected that hydrated minerals lie beneath a small hill on Mars. During warm seasons it appears that several streaks of this liquid (water) is flowing down steep slopes (see image 1). When Mars turns into a much cooler season, temperatures drop below 20 degrees Celsius.
An MRO is used to observe different details and features that have enabled findings such as, “the puzzling seasonal streaks is a big step towards explaining …show more content…
This last research was conducted by several paleontologists that discovered plenty of fossils that were mentioned as new species. First of all Pedro Boshoff discovered ancient teeth and a jaw deep underground in a chamber. While analyzing these pieces Boshoff mentioned, “Something bizarre is going on”. He explained this as an ancient individual that had small front teeth like a human today however it had larger molars like a more primitive human ancestor. Other researchers defined this human as a relatively tall and skinny hominid with long legs, human like feet, a core and a shoulder that are very similar to a primitive human. A co-worker of Boshoff named tracy kivell identified that the bones in the wrist were shaped like we have nowadays, suggesting that the palm on the hand at the base had more stiff muscles. This shows the evolution of humans.
Second of all a paleontologist named William harcourt studied on the foot of this specie, he found out that its proportions and the big toe was aligned perfectly like humans today however the toes where diverging to an ape's much bigger toe. Both of these (hand and feet) suggest that, “you have a creature that would have walked upright really well but also would have been comfortable in the trees”, said
