Biology Article Summmary

48437_rel.jpgI read an article on the Biologynews website. It was talking about how complex brains in insects develop earlier then biologists originally thought. A 3 inch fossil of a Fuxianhuia protensa was found in the Yunnan province of China, dating from the Cambrian period 520 million years ago. It showed an advanced brain anatomy with a primitive body. The article stated that the fossil was a "missing link" that sheds some light on the evolution of arthropods. It later went on of how this discovery will make a long standing debate of how and when complex brains evolved. The article stated that, "the fossil supports the idea that once a basic brain design had evolved, it changed little over time." (Biologynews).

Homecoming Week

At SHS, homecoming is a week long event that starts out with dress up days. The class that has the most participants wins that dress up day. This goes on till the end of the school week on a Friday, which is homecoming day and the games begin. Every class, wearing a different color shirts, play games to earn points for there class. Then finally a winning class is declared. My experiences of SHS homecoming overall are great! It is a week for a class to come together and work together. This year I was slightly disappointed. The feel of homecoming day was not as energetic as I remembered maybe it is because I'm a senior. I know that SHS does homecoming the best in the entire nation and will continue to do so.
