Project

I have a biology project that is on Evoultion. What I want to d is pick a breed of cattle and talk about how it has changed or "evolved". Im not sure if she will go for it yet but I need to get started. What would be the best breed for me to use?

angus.go to angus hall of fame.they have alot of angus history

there is a difference between evolution and human selection.  with human selection, the environment is changing faster than evolution.

look up aurochs.

angus for sure they have changed over the years

Any change in a breed of beef cattle over the past few centuries due to evolution would be neglible.  I would think almost all of it would be due to human selection.  How long would it take to change Chianinas from 72 inch tall all white animals to 52 inch tall black ones through evolution?  I don't think there would be any black Simmentals through evolultion, either.  Human selection pressure and the ever changing definition of some breeds would lead to the alterations.

This teacher is not very intellegent when it comes to cattle so I think I will be able to get away with just about anything.

Get the book "A Cows Life" by Montgomery - he is kind of annoying but there is a good chapter on the evolution of cattle from the aurochs (primordial ox AKA Bos primigenius) 10,000 years ago to the development of Bos taurus to the Angus breed - just looking at changes in Angus breed from development in the 1800s to today isn't really evolution.....never underestimate the intelligence of the teacher who assigns to topic

when you find out what intellegent and Evoultion mean, let me know.

you made two spelling mistakes, so now, that's three mistakes, two spelling, and one counting.   i already answered the question, that's four oops i don't own the place, oops five, yes some people don't care what i think, but some do, that's six.  

i guess humor is not your forte, or is that fortay?

i found some more.
What's
a comma should be after seriously and own the place, one after mistake, and there should be an and there too, one after next time, then  after question, then after anything.

i guess you don't care what you write like.

comically, it's a joke, lighten up and don't take yourself as seriously as you think i take myself.  if you would look at what you wrote, and that i actually did respond to the question, you might learn something, and some humor along the way.

ever hear of coelacanth, stickleback, hox genes?  you could compare their hox genes with cattle.

To those of you, who actually helped me thank you. I talked to my teacher today and found out that I can do my project on human selection if I want to. I have also decided to go with angus cattle. Thanks again!

Good luck on your project.

You have the opportunity to tackle the topic Evolution, and you choose Angus cattle??????

Consider taking the first eight chapters of Genesis in the Bible, and prove to your teacher that evolution is merely a word to represent a theory with no foundation.

How can you say that Evoultion has no foundation at all. Google Charles Darwin and then tell me how it doesnt. I am not saying that the bible is not right becuase I believe 100% that we are from Adam and Eve, but I do think that there is a lot of examples to back up the theory of evoultion.

Evolution has no foundation?!? seriously?

If you go back a lot of Charles Darwins material was based on fiction. Pure simple fiction that many believed and it is now become what it is today, driven by a lot of false propaganda. The Bible has remained the same over many thousands of years, and one would tend to think that if nothing has changed in its story and most things have come true that there is a reason. Could be I find this hard to be coincidence, but I believe in it fully.
Evolution really has no theory due to the fact that it is based on one mans opinion of something he never saw.
The Bible was written by those who saw these things happen and predicted future events which have all come to be. Again, its hard to argue with facts versus fiction fueled by propaganda.
