Inferring the behavior and function of ancient organisms is hard. Some paleontologists would say that it cannot be done because such hypotheses can never be testable, whereas others would say that this is surely a prime task for paleontology—to seek to bring ancient organisms back to life. These issues have long troubled paleontologists. The founder of comparative anatomy, Georges Cuvier (1769–1832), insisted on the common pattern of the skeleton of living and fossil vertebrates and that anatomy could be reconstructed with confidence from incomplete fossil remains. Further, he argued that the skeleton of a living or extinct animal held unequivocal clues about function and behavior. Cuvier saw his mission to establish rules for comparative anatomy that would allow paleontologists to make certain statement with clarity and confidence [1], a key principle today, what one might call “evidence-based reconstruction” (for example, sharp teeth indicate a diet of meat rather than plants, or mammalian characters in the teeth indicate that the unknown animal was endothermic and nourished its young from mammary glands) as opposed to speculation (“this dinosaur was purple because I guess it was”).

Fossils can provide great evidence about functions. such as the hard skeleton of a fossil arthpod reveals the number and shape of limbs. the nature of each joint in each of said limb. and perhaps also mouth parts and other structures related to locomotion and feeding.

How are Hammurabi's Code and Chinese Confucianism similar?
son4ous [18]

Hammurabi was the 6th Babylonian King in 18th century BC while Confucius was a Chinese teacher, philosopher and a prophet who passed away in 479 BC. They are from different times and cultures but there are striking similarities between their teachings and writings.

Both of them emphasized on the rule of Law, Hammurabi is a bit straight forward in citing the punishment for a crime while Confucius being a philosopher quoted it in his teachings, urging people to abide by the rules and law and giving such a man the title of “Great Man”.  In the second example when Confucius is stressing on family values and taking care of family, he is being straight forward while Hammurabi when citing the same subject puts is in another way, for example if someone son has died due to the negligence of a builder, the builder’s son will be killed. That shows he is stressing on family values also.

And the final and most amazing similarity is the stressing on Truth, both Hammurabi and Conscious seem uncompromising on this subject.
