The origin of mankind

[Marblehead]

Most sophisticated beings have spinal cord.

Yes Dear.  Just a couple days ago I watched a documentary centered on the evolution of the vertebrates from the invertebrates.

 

It was a dramatic step in the evolution process.

[Junko]

The evolution of the vertebrates from the invertebrates? Could you explain this more in detail? What are vertebrate and what are invertebrates?Thank you.

Sure.

 

Vertebrates are the animals that have a spine.  As you said, a spinal cord.  This allowed for a more complex nervous system and a brain.

 

Invertebrates are those without a spine, like the jellyfish.  Not much more advance over a plant.

 

The spine also allow for the animals to become more mobile.  (This helped to be able to get food and prevent being food for others.)

[Apech]

I've met a lot of spineless humans.

[Junko]

You mean, old people?

[Apech]

You mean, old people?

 

 

No I mean people with no backbone.

[Junko]

What is that? May I ask.....?

Or not facing up to a problem.

[Junko]

You mean, someone born with it?

[Marblehead]

Y'all got me confused. 

[Karl]

You mean, someone born with it?

With their backs against the wall you mean ? If they did, then they would need to put their back into it and show a bit of spine.

Never mind, feel free to get confused or even doubt.....that's where we all can question to each other.

Hmmmmm  ......  

 

'backbone'  -    the connected array of vertebrae (bones )   that run up the middle of the back - 'the spine '  .

 

Vertebrae  -  each individual bone of the 'backbone' or spine.

 

Invertebrae -  no vertebrae  around the central   nerve 'cord' .

 

Spinal cord -   the nerve 'cord' / complex that runs through the vertebrae .

 

 

 

Some animals seem all 'backbone'

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a fascinating  fascination;

 

The diamond python ,  'carpet snake' ,  'rainbow serpent' , Yumbar  has a fascinating 'spine' .

 

I have spent a bit of time with these snakes, observing, holding them, closely inspecting them and their behaviour and communicating with them  (  done by invoking a specific mental or emotional state  and concentrating that towards the snake and watching its response  ) , but then I noticed   (as I also collect dead ones, road kill etc. and get the skins and bones ) the inside of the pythons skull . 

 

There is a channel of fused hollow vertebrae like bones  that goes from where the skull connects to the spine, it runs under the skull and is fused to the bottom of it and continues along the roof of the mouth to the nose.

Why do they call them 'Carpet' pythons?

[Junko]

Snake.....it's fascinating being. They never eat like human!

[Michael Sternbach]

No, but some of them eat humans they don't like.

[Nungali]

Why do they call them 'Carpet' pythons?

 

 

Because they are pythons and some think the pattern on their skin is like a carpet.

 

They use this camouflage to allow them to sneak inside and lay in the middle of the lounge room undetected where they can get warm in front of the fire and watch tv.

Python skin is used for human shoes and a handbag for woman.....that is awful.

[Stosh]

If the earth was the size of a hydrogen atom, the universe would be three times the distance to the moon....

[Nungali]

if the Sun was an orange in the middle of a  football field (in Sydney ) the Earth would be on the .... try/goal/touchdown  line, and the nearest star would be in South Africa.

 

(Unless it was a dark star .... then it would have to move to the back of the Universe . )

Maybe  .....   depends.

 

I have made stuff out of beautiful snake skins. I  collect ' road kill '  but would never kill them.  I have even blocked the traffic on the road with my car to remove  live ones sunbaking .  (And hey also get a lecture off me "What the hell are you doing ? !   Can't you find a better place to sunbake ?  What will happen to the wife and kids if you get run over !  "  )
