WRITE ABOUT A THEME: Organization You have seenmany examples of how form fits function at all levels of thebiological hierarchy. However, we can imagine forms thatwould function better than some forms actually found innature. For example, if the wings of a bird were not formedfrom its forelimbs, such a hypothetical bird could fly yet alsohold objects with its forelimbs. In a short essay (100–150words), use the concept of “evolution as tinkering” to explainwhy there are limits to the functionality of forms in nature.

Paleontology

A branch of science concerning the scientific study of life from ancient times is known as paleontology. The scientists working on paleontology are known as paleontologists. Paleontologists collect the fossils of organisms from ancient times to classify them. The paleontologists also study the environment from ancient times to study the interactions between different organisms.
