Now this lowering of the age of sexual maturity is a well-known evolutionary phenomenon called neoteny. The crucial event in this process is the appearance at the foetal, larval or juvenile stage of some useful evolutionary novelty which is carried over into the adult stage of the organism's progeny. ![]() ![]() It indicates that at certain critical stages evolution can retrace its steps, as it were, along the path which led to the dead end and make a fresh start in a new, more promising direction. It was described by Garstang in the 1920s, and taken up by several biologists but although the existence of the phenomenon is generally accepted, it made little impact on the orthodox theory and is rarely mentioned in the textbooks. ![]() One line of escape from the maze of blind alleys is of particular relevance to our theme: a phenomenon which goes under the name of 'paedomorphosis'. ![]() ![]() ![]() Groups of 9 or fewer, $11 per ticketĬleveland Metropolitan School District teachers: Thanks to a generous donation from the KeyBank Foundation, a limited number of free and reduced-cost tickets are available for CMSD schools and approved partnered schools ( view eligibility list).

Much of the evidence for the early period of Roman history is archaeological, and archaeologists disagree on exactly how old their discoveries are. In a fascinating section early in the book, Beard discusses various legends about the founding of Rome, including the stories of Aeneas and Romulus and Remus, and says they are just that-legends, with no historical truth to them. SPQR (the title stands for “The Senate and People of Rome”) covers the period from 753 BCE, the supposed date of the founding of Rome, to 212 CE, when the emperor Caracalla granted Roman citizenship to all free inhabitants of the empire. It is impossible, in a brief review, to do justice to Beard’s achievement. SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome is a monumental work by the historian Mary Beard. ![]() ![]() ![]() but then quickly fades once the player learns how to elude each enemy.

This principle, in my view, still holds true, and it’s motivated a good deal of what we try to do at Mockingbird. ![]() The revival in religion will be a rhetorical problem - new persuasive words for defaced or degraded ones.
