Example text

Pollard & Earnshaw, 2002 Individuals, or organisms, are built of organs, which are made of tissues, which are comprised of cells. Humans (and everything but bacteria and Archaea) are made of eukaryotic cells that contain nuclei (sing. nucleus). All types of cells fit into two main categories: somatic cells and gametes. Cells are separated into these two groups according to their different functions, their different modes of cell replication, and their different amounts of genetic material in the nucleus.

Humans (and everything but bacteria and Archaea) are made of eukaryotic cells that contain nuclei (sing. nucleus). All types of cells fit into two main categories: somatic cells and gametes. Cells are separated into these two groups according to their different functions, their different modes of cell replication, and their different amounts of genetic material in the nucleus. The nucleus of a cell contains the genetic material in the form of chromosomes, which are very condensed, long strands of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).

They imply that the organism was not well adapted and that it was merely waiting or even striving to eventually evolve into a modern form. They are also misinterpreted to mean that ancestral forms are somehow equal mixes or blends of their modern descendents.
