Liquid Water Aquatic Life
655 wordsWhat would the world be like if solid water was denser than liquid water? Density is a property of matter. It is defined as the amount of material that fits in a given space. Denser objects are naturally heavier than objects that are less dense and of the same size. In the same manner that solid objects have density, liquids also have density. In that connection, water is denser than oil. If two objects of different densities come into contact, then the one that is less dense will float on it. T...

Millions Of Years Adipose Tissue
3,426 wordsHuman Evolution: the water theory. Elaine Morgan The crucial question about human evolution is why humans differ so strikingly from the African apes despite their close genetic relationship. Most Darwinists would agree that such differences are usually attributable to differing environmental pressures; and hence that our ancestors at some stage probably occupied a significantly different habitat from the ancestor of the gorilla and the chimpanzee. For the last half-century it has been generally ...
