Microscopes on the Past
ENDNOTES
Little remains of the plants and animals that went extinct as a direct result of colonization, but this does n avenues of exploring the past are made known to us. The evidence of extinct species’ existence remains with. Using new DNA technology, scientists have been able to piece together information about the lost 200 years.
Plant and animal samples of extinct species can be found in our world through fossils, furs, plant presses specimens contain the DNA of the species they belong to, which until as recently as 2001, were not able piece together vital information about these extinct species. Every plant and animal has their own unique essence, DNA maps out the identity of different species, and for the extinct species of the Atlantic whos furs that previously were of unknown species can be identified. Sometimes fossil evidence can also be di have been proven to belong to the Sable antelope instead.2 Because gene sequences of species are ent from other species.
From the beginning of life on earth, plants and animals have been evolving to survive as best they can, a creation of new species. These species diverge from one another, but still share physical and behavioral relatives, scientists are able to determine where and how they have diverged. Connections have been fo been able to prove the birds the parakeet is most closely related to.3 Studies show that while the bird is understand how it evolved. Similar discoveries have been made with other species such as the extinct G with other known animals, but have identified features that diverge from other species. Specific sequenc create features such as feathers or strong hind legs. While the purpose of most of these sequences is unk them to one another. As scientists continue to research and explore plant and animal DNA, their discove relatives.
There is a lot to learn about the lost species of our past, but as research continues, more is being uncove 400 years ago, the chances of their DNA still surviving is decent, as some fossils, furs, and prints have be sequencing and the specific purposes that DNA has on the characteristics of species, the more we can e these species through first-hand accounts of them and fossil evidence, we may just come to know throug lost to us, or are they still waiting for us to find them, hidden in the microscopic strands of their DNA?
