My themes for this semester:

  • the external appearance of animals, body parts, colors, theories about the origin of their appearance, possible ways of evolution of different body features
  • evolution vs. creationism debate
  • convergent evolution (the process whereby organisms not closely related independently evolve similar traits as a result of having to adapt to similar environments or ecological niches) – like a /fictional/ free depository of physical features
  • decomposition or composition
  • even blood and ist color evolned (several times)
  • every bird embrio has a genetical potentiality to be a dinosaur
  • objects that appear “alive” – producing movement or having the potential to do so
  • wire as a material for making objects, possibly using them as a conductor of electricity
  • insect in media and future
  • attributes of an insect as tools for survival
