Those who study it call it “The Singularity”. (p.67)

Introduction Cladogram is a tree diagram that is designed to determine the relatedness and evolution of species. Two methods to produce a cladorgam one based on morphological characteristic and another based on sequence of amino acid. Based on morphological characteristic‚ first‚ taxa are chosen that are close or being interesting of their evolutionary

Evolution and classification Main article: Evolution of birds Archaeopteryx lithographica is often considered the oldest known bird The first classification of birds was developed by Francis Willughby and John Ray in their 1676 volume Ornithologiae.[5] Carolus Linnaeusmodified that work in 1758 to devise the taxonomic classification system currently in use.[6] Birds are categorised as the biological classAves in Linnaean taxonomy. Phylogenetic taxonomy places Aves in the dinosaur clade Theropoda

Color in film went through a self-contained evolution much like sound. Many films of the silent era‚ for instance‚ used processes such as tinting and toning to give an overall color to the frame (Thomspon & Bordwell 34). Thompson and Bordwell comment on the process that “color could provide information about the narrative situation and hence make the story clearer to the spectator” (34)‚ much like the use of photogénie and mise-en-scene by the Impressionists and Expressionists. Other films‚ such
