Common ancestry and evolution paragraphs

Biology

Biological evolution is not simply a matter of change over time. Lots of things change over time: trees lose their leaves, mountain ranges rise and erode, but they aren't examples of biological evolution because they don't involve descent through genetic inheritance.

The central idea of biological evolution is that all life on Earth shares a common ancestor, just as you and your cousins share a common grandmother.

Through the process of descent with modification, the common ancestor of life on Earth gave rise to the fantastic diversity that we see documented in the fossil record and around us today. Evolution means that we're all distant cousins: humans and oak trees, hummingbirds and whales.

AfilCa [17]

Yes! a region of the body with greater sensory acuity to have cutaneous receptors with large receptive fields, or small receptive fields.

The sensory receptor located in the skin is known as a cutaneous receptor ( the dermis or epidermis). The somatosensory system includes them. Mechanoreceptors (pressure or distortion), nociceptors (pain), and thermoreceptors are cutaneous receptors (temperature). The lowest spatial resolution is found in the thigh and calf area, whereas the fingertips have the highest spatial resolution (and the smallest receptive fields) (and largest receptive fields). Two-point discrimination threshold measurements can be used to assess the spatial resolution in response to light touch stimuli.
