Hylonomus (/ h aɪ ˈ l ɒ n əm ə s /; hylo-"forest" + nomos "dweller") [2] is an extinct genus of reptile that lived during the Bashkirian stage of the Late Carboniferous.It is the earliest known crown group amniote and the oldest known unquestionable reptile, with the only known species being Hylonomus lyelli.
A buzzer is often constructed by running string through two of the holes on a large button and is a common and easily made toy. A buzzer (buzz, bullroarer, button-on-a-string) is an ancient mechanical device used for ceremonial purposes and as a toy. It is constructed by centering an object at the midpoint of a cord or thong and winding the ...
First signs of teeth in fish. Earliest Nautilida, lycophytes, and trimerophytes. 488–400 Ma First cephalopods [78] and chitons. [79] 395 Ma First lichens, stoneworts. Earliest harvestmen, mites, hexapods (springtails) and ammonoids. The earliest known tracks on land named the Zachelmie trackways which are possibly related to icthyostegalians.
Model organisms are made standard by limiting genetic variance, creating, hopefully, this broad applicability to other organisms. [1] The idea of the model organism first took root in the middle of the 19th century with the work of men like Charles Darwin and Gregor Mendel and their respective work on natural selection and the genetics of ...
260 BC: Aristarchus of Samos proposes a basic heliocentric model of the universe. [61] 200 BC: Apollonius of Perga discovers Apollonius's theorem. 200 BC: Apollonius of Perga assigns equations to curves. 200 BC: Apollonius of Perga develops epicycles. While an incorrect model, it was a precursor to the development of Fourier series.
The funnel model is the hypothesis that the most conserved stage of development (the phylotypic period) occurs at the beginning of embryogenesis, with increasing divergence as development progresses. This is also known as the early conservation model of development.

1976: Yeast genes expressed in E. coli for the first time. [48] 1977: DNA is sequenced for the first time by Fred Sanger, Walter Gilbert, and Allan Maxam working independently. Sanger's lab sequence the entire genome of bacteriophage Φ-X174. [49] [50] [51] In the late 1970s: nonisotopic methods of nucleic acid labeling were developed.
