Paleontology: he aha ka mea e a'o nei?

Ma kēia'atikala, e kama'ilio mākou e pili ana i ka'ike'epekema e like me ka paleontology - he aha ka mea e a'o ai, no ke aha e pono ai a pehea ho'i ka ho'ohana'ana i kēia no ka honua hou.

'O nā wā kahiko

'O ka hapanui, i ka wā e hō'ike ana i nā'ano mua o ke ola ma ka Honua, hiki i nā po'e ke ho'omana'o i nā dinosau. Akā, ka mana'o o lākou nā kānaka kahiko loa o ko kākou honua,'oiai ua hala nā makahiki 65 miliona ma hope o ko lākou nalowale, ua kuhihewa. Wahi a kekahi mau'ike o ka po'e'epekema, ua ho'omaka ke ola ma ka honua i 3.9 piliona makahiki i hala aku nei, a he mea pa'akikī loa e'ike i kēia ki'i.

I kēlā mau wā, noho nui'ia ka Honua e nā huapē a me nā mea'ano mua loa, a ma hope loa ua'ike'ia nā uluna mua, nā amphibians a me nā mea kolo.

'Oiai ma Girka kahiko, ua loa'a i nā kānaka'epekema nā hanana kupanaha o nā'ano like'ole o ke ola, akā, no laila,'a'ole hiki i ko lākou mau makahiki a me ko lākou hānau ke a'o i kekahi mea, a no laila'a'ole lākou i a'o pono ia mau mea. Akā i kēia manawa i ka wā o nā makahiki, i ka Renaissance, ua'olu'olu ka hoihoi i nā po'e kahiko o ko kākou honua i ka ikaika hou. A i ka ho'omaka'ana o ke kenekulia 19, ua ho'oili'ia ka hua'ōlelo "paleontology". He aha kāna e a'o ai a no ke aha?

'O kā mākou manawa

Penei, e like me ka oihana wehewehena, paleontology i këia ano kahiko o ke ola i ola i ka hala 'ā ina manawa a ola a hiki i kēia lā i loko o ka palapala o ka fossils a me ke koena o ia mea. He mea kūpono ho'i e ho'omaopopo i ka hana'ana o kēia hapekema i nā loulou pili o nā'anoola olala e pili ana i ke kumumana'o o ka ho'olālā kino.

'O ka no'ono'o'ana i nā iwi ho'ona'auao, ka hō'ili'ili'ana i nā ala a me nā mea'ē a'e o ke ola o nā meaola - ua kau'ia kēia a pau i kahi o ka pono o ka'ike'epekema e like me ka paleontology. He aha ka mea e hiki ai ke noi'i iā mākou? Ma waho a'e o ka'ike a me ka'ike o ka ho'olālā, kahi li'ili'i. Akā,'o ka mea'oia'i'o,'a'ole i ho'okumu'ia e nā lāhui kanaka ma'alahi ka pahuhopu o ka holo'ana i kekahi pono waiwai.

Malia paha'o ka'oihana kaulana loa o nā mea e a'o ai i ka'epekema, ho'omaika'i'ia i nā mea a pau i ka manawa ho'okahi, akā lohe'o ia,'o ia ke a'o'ana i nā dinosaurs o nā'ano a me nā makahiki. Akā ma ka'oihana,'oi aku ka nui o nā prosaic - he laulā ko lākou mō'ī a'a'ole loa i ka piha, i hiki i nā hale'ike ke'ike hou i ka hana hou'ana i nā pūpū, kahi i li'ili'i nā iwi maoli.

I ka wā e pane ai i ka nīnau e pili ana i ka paleonōlogy e pono ai, e pili ana i ka po'e o ka moana kahiko - nā'ano trilobites a me nā mea'ē a'e. Ua ola ke koena o lākou i ka waiho'ana i nā pōhaku a me nā moe moe. 'O nā mea nui o ka "'ōpio" o ka honua o nā kūpuna, he'ano nui. Ma muli o nā kūlana ma'amau i Siberia, he kupaianaha ko lākou kūlana no ko lākou palekana a me nā kiko'ī.

He aha ke kumu o ka paleontology?

He aha ka mea e'ike ai ka'epekema i ha'i'ia a me pehea e ho'ohana ai ia ma nā wahi'ē a'e? 'O ka'oia'i'o,'o kēia a'o'ana,'a'ole e like me nā mea'ē a'e, hiki'ole ke kaena i nā'ano'imi noi'i kūpono a me nā hopena e ho'opō'ino i ko mākou ola, e like me ke kākamaika, ka'ikekino a lā'au lapa'au paha. Akā, ma muli o ka'ike i hō'ili'ili'ia ma ka bit, ua a'o nui nā'epekema i ka mo'olelo o ko kākou honua ma mua o ka'ike'ana o ke kanaka a ho'opiha i nā lālā'oi o ke kumumana'o o ka loli. No ka laʻana, a me ke kōkua o ke radiocarbon Ka Ikepili a koe ke aʻo mai i ka mea a ke aniau ua miliona o ka makahiki aku nei, kekahi i hele mai ia mai nā manuʻaiʻia a me nā holoholona, a me ka hana i wānana, ka mea, e hoʻololi a hiki ma hope o kekahi mau haneri tausani makahiki.

He aha nā ha'awina o ka paleontology, ma ka'oihana, e like me kahi ho'olu'olu, a ma'alahi pa'akikī kahi ma'alahi e hana hewa ai'ole e lawe i kāu mea e makemake ai no ka'oia'i'o, no ka mea, he nui nā kumu kū'ai ma ka hā'awi'ana o nā mea noi'i ma mua o kā mākou makemake.

Nā ho'olālā

Akā inā he mau makahiki he nui o nā meaola ola, no ke aha lā lākou i palaha ai i ko lākou manawa? Pehea lākou i mālama'ia ai he miliona miliona mau makahiki ma hope aku, a he aha ke kumu o ko lākou pō'ino?

E like me ka mea i ha'i mua'ia, paleontology ka'enepekema o nā'ano kahiko o ke ola, a ua hō'ea mai lākou iā mākou i ke'ano o nā mō'ali. A'o ka māhele holo'oko'a, no ka ho'ona'auao'ana, pono nā kūlana kūpono. 'O ka hapanui ka loa'a'ana o ka pōhaku one,'a'ole kēia he pilikia. 'O ka Petrification he mea kūikawā no ka minerali'ana i nā mea ola honua, i ka wā i kaomi'ia, ma ka nalowale'ole o ka ea a me ka makama,'o nā iwi a me nā pūnaewele o ka "mea ma'amau" e ho'onui'ia me ka kohuke. A i ka hopena, lilo lākou i pōhaku.

He lō'ihi kēia hana, a he mea pinepine i ka pilikia i kekahi'ano o nā pilikia āpau, no laila, i ko mākou mau lā, ua emi ka nui o nā mea i koe i ka hana. Eia kekahi, pono e'ike mua'ia,'a'ole i ke'ano o ka pū'ali koa maika'i loa. I kekahi manawa'o nā ho'ona'auao-paleonōlogists ho'olālā i nā malama he nui no ka ho'onohonoho pono'ana iā lākou.

'O nā'āpana kūpono loa he canyons, canyons, nā koloku'u kahiko, i ka wā e hiki ai ke ōla'i a mālama'ia nā holoholona i lalo o kahi papa pōhaku multimeter.

Pālā

Ma ka paleontology, aia kekahi mau lālā nui: paleozoology a paleobotany. 'O nā huahelu mua a me nā invertebrates, a me ka lua - nā mea kahiko a me nā mea a pau e pili ana me ia. A ua ho'oka'awale'ia lākou i nā māhele he nui,'a'ole e hiki ke hō'ole i nā paleoantology, e pili ana i ka'ike'ana i nā kūpuna o nā kānaka. 'O ka paleontology ka'ike'elekema o nā mea ola e ola nei i ka manawa.
