Reflection 1/4/17

Today in the lab we did a virtual activity called "What did T. rex taste like" and "The Evolution of Flight in Birds". Out of these two activities I found "What did T. rex taste like" activity the most interesting because of its in depth logic. Prior to this activity I had no idea what a cladogram was and through the series of slides, i was able to understand how animals that we would normally not consider similar due to the basic general characteristics. I liked how the cladogram made deeper connections of the similarities different animals share. The cladogram shows distinct relations with common ancestors as well as common ancestors that can be dug up hundreds of years ago.
