Entry #10: A Little Science

Okay so this is a really interesting picture that I found on the internet that I thought would be super interesting to post. This is a chart of the embryo's of 8 different animals, all at the same points in their stage of development. I feel like such a nerd thinking this is cool...guess my mom's love and enthusiasm of science is finally rubbing off on me. Anyways, it was really interesting that in the first stage that they are all shown at, they all pretty much look the same. And if you compare just the chicken embryo to the human embryo..it's scarily similar.



This next picture just shows an interesting thing that doesn't really have anything to do with anything besides the fact that we descended from an aquatic animal, and eventually branched off and evolved into different kinds of animals in the future.



Anyways I thought that it was pretty awesome how through embryo comparison you can tell how similar all these different kinds of animals are linked together.

Pretty random, but still cool!
