Last week at the museum of natural history was pretty cool. Me and my group (other classmates) went to the biodiversity hall first in which we learned: how certain part in every country all over the world have protection and restoration acts all over and that coastal pollution "red tide" humans activities are altering global systems. Also, damage to soils and fresh water caused the disapperence of the aral sea, due to global warming, once the fourth largest lake in the world and Biodiversity loss and ecosystem disruption alter disease pattern like argentine hemorrhagic fever. Futhermore, atleast half of hawaii's native land snails, two thirds of it's native birds and countless species of insects and plants have already gone extinct. This was all in the hall plus i learned: Pollock in berlin sea has decline from over fishing by huge mechanized thawlers and a majority of Madagascar's original forest have been cut down since people arrive there 2000 years ago. The most crazy fact to me is that 20% of the population living in wealthier developed countries do more ecological harm than the entire remaining 80% of the earth people. Crazy rite.

We then went into the plantary hall i think that's what it's called and saw how different plants and trees grow. It showed the whole process in some displays and how the sun and the condition of the earth affects the growing ability. I can't say this part of the hall was that interesting it was slightly not my interest. But what was crazy was this huge piece of tree the museum have, it's chopped in half not saying it's have the tree but i don't know the word to descibed it, anyways it's like two of me standing on the shoulders. It is called The big tree, Mark Twain, from 550AD in California sierras. In the photograph it shows how big these trees grow, they are outragely tall.

The last hall i saw not knowing the name either but i think was called the human biology hall because it was 3 and i had a class at 435. It was the most coolest thing ever, mainly, it was like the sum of the whole human process in one room. I love biology so this really caught my eye, it started with how a cell looks upclose and how the process goes concerning how you get your mother mitchondria chromsome and how the guys get the Y chromsome, how it passes down. Then you see all these bones from all the primates and how each one evolve in to something else all the way down to us, the modern human, It was pretty amazing i thought. It was a video showing about how scientist now believe humans didn't get modernized in Europe but before humans left Africa they were already modern, which put the spotlight back on Africa. It was cool i thought, it was the best hall so far but i couldn't make it to see the Planet Earth hall because i was in the human hall for a hour.... but maybe next time.
