A01-06-0007 Graeme Rankine Fossil, Inc.—Global Watches and Accessories While we found that Fossil has very strong brand recognition among teens in the watch category, we believe watches are less important to teens than other accessories in the current fashion cycle. According to our proprietary research, interest in the accessories category declined 19% on a yearover-year basis this Fall following the 16% decline seen this past Spring. Given that handbags continue to sell well across the industry

How do you think the principle of uniformitarianism accounts for occasional catastrophic events such as meteorite impacts, huge volcanic eruptions, or great earthquakes? Uniformitarianism is a theory that states that past events are happening today and will happen in the future. What we do today has an effect on the geologic formation and structure and

any process of formation or growth and development, without it we wouldn’t be here today. Evolution though only an theory has an massive backing within the science community; many fossils, scientist and scientific studies have all but proved evolution indefinitely. The proof for evolution is massive and profound; fossils and carbon dating are absolute proof that creatures very similar to us not only lived but were evolving and walking around. African hominids such as the bipedal Australopithecus afarensis

listened to an interview with an evolutionary biologist named Jerry Coyne last week, and a question he was asked was: “If you were to present one piece of evidence for evolution to a non-believer, what would it be?” His answer: “The fossil record.” While I find the fossil record interesting, I find vestigial structures as the most compelling, and best to present to those who are evolution-deniers. Vestigial structures are features of species that have lost ancestral functions, and either have a new

Recently, fossils of early birds have been collected from Mesozoic-aged rocks worldwide. Hundreds of millions of years ago, a huge new life form of flying dinosaurs called Pterosaurs became known. (Birds: The Late Evolution of Dinosaurs)These dinosaurs had wings of skin stretched between an enormously elongated finger and its flanks. Pterosaurs were known as the first vertebrates to take flight. About 150 million years ago, Pterosaurs were joined in the air by a more aerodynamic, featured creature
