1: T-Rex Authenticated Model Kit Now Available Online
The creator of all the works featured on this site is not only a gifted sculptor, but actually works with dinosaur fossils as a paleontological reconstruction artist, fossil preparator, and field technician at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles. His artwork is based on the latest scientific research, real fossil material, and years of hands on experience. This is why the work featured is regarded as some of the most scientifically accurate available to the public. For the Dinosaur connoisseur and collector, you will find what you have been looking for at Dinosaur Model Toys.com.
2: What Japanese People Believe About Zodiac Symbols
Japanese people think that zodiac symbols have a great influence on the life of a man and these symbols have an important position in their history and present-day life. Until now, the belief based on the superpower of zodiac symbols exists among them. The root of these symbols is the Chinese practice of dividing time into 12 different blocks.
3: Is Thomas Jefferson's DNA In Your Family Tree?
Years ago your grandmother may have prepared your family tree but I bet that by adding information obtained with DNA that family tree's branches will most likely be a little more crooked than you imagined. You see, your grandmother only had access to whatever data was recorded in the local church, library or newspaper office. Stories and legends that had been passed down through the generations would have provided a certain amount of information, too, however most of it would have been unverifiable. With the advances we've had in technology since your grandmother first started her research, your DNA family tree probably will not even resemble your grandmother's family tree.
As an example, your grandmother's family tree might show that you are a direct descendant of Thomas Jefferson and his wife, Martha Wayles Skelton. But add a little DNA to that family tree and you may be stunned to learn that you're actually a direct descendant of Thomas Jefferson and his slave, Sally Hemings.

4: The Scientific Type
I minored in chemistry in college. This was the mid-Nineties, and I managed to get a full-ride at a state school in the panhandle of Texas. Nothing special, but I didn't have to pay for room and board, not that either cost very much in a town like Lubbock. No, I had a knack for molecular bonding and laboratory equipment. That's right: Bunsen burners, vials, test tubes and beakers galore.
5: Bunsen Burners and Prospects In Chemistry
The chemical realm is not one for the faint of heart. When introduced to the very basics of chemistry in preparatory school, I had the distinct feeling that I was being taught a language I was doomed never to understand. Though I could understand the terms used for the various pieces of equipment, when the solvents and reagents were bandied about, I had the distinct feeling I was having a migraine.
6: Things To Pack When Going On A Cruise To Watch Whales
Going on a cruise to watch whales with your family sure can be very exciting. So much so, that you may forget to pack the right things for the event. What are the things that you should include in your luggage to make the most out of the experience?
7: Should Native American DNA Testing Be Mandatory?
To some groups of people, like Native Americans, DNA testing is used not only to establish links to ancestors but also to determine legal rights and privileges. Tribal sovereignty and legal rights are hot topics of debate in American political arenas and are disputed within the courts all the time. States, industries and land owners themselves challenge the tribes' rights to control their own lands and people, or to even exist at all. Most citizens don't even realize that tribes are political entities unto themselves and not just quaint little ethnic groups. And because of the legal protections afforded Native Americans, DNA testing often becomes necessary for them to be able to prove their ancestry and enjoy the rights and privileges that their tribes have earned.
8: Animal Research Over The Decades
Animal research has undergone many updates and transformations of the years, and certainly within the past few decades. Even up until the 1980s many leading cosmetic giants were insisting that animal testing was necessary in order to prove that their products were safe for human use.
9: Using Mitochondrial DNA Testing To Argue The 'Seven Daughters Of Eve' Theory
In his book, "The Seven Daughters Of Eve", Oxford University Professor Brian Sykes uses research obtained through mitochondrial DNA testing on specimens extracted from the Iceman to back up his conclusion that all people on Earth are direct descendants of one of the seven daughters of Eve and therefore, direct descendants of Eve herself. In essence his theory proposes that there really was one woman to begin with and that through mitochondrial DNA testing, we find that we are all descended directly from her.
10: A Very Brief Look At A Sharks Life Cycle
The sharks life cycle is, for the most part, still relatively hidden from humans. Much of the aspects of mating, birth, and life remain a mystery to man that is slowly being unfurled through study and research.
