Intshayelelo: Ngaba Abantu Banokuba NgamaFosili?
Ingqikelelo yokuba abantu babe ngamathambo esalathiso kwixesha elizayo inokubonakala ngathi yintsomi yenzululwazi, kodwa njengoko uphando lwejoloji luhambela phambili, kufanelekile ukuphonononga ukuba kunokwenzeka. Iifosili zesalathiso zizixhobo ezibalulekileyo kwijoloji ezinceda izazinzulu ukuba ziqonde imbali yoMhlaba. Ziifosili zezinto eziphilayo ezaziphila ngexesha elithile kwaye zisetyenziselwa ukuhlangana kwamatye. Nangona kunjalo, ukusetyenziswa kweefosili zesalathiso eziqhelekileyo kunemida, nto leyo ekhokelela izazinzulu ezithile ukuba ziqwalasele iindlela ezintsha zokusetyenziswa kweefosili zesalathiso.
Kweli nqaku, siza kuphonononga uluvo lwabantu njengeefosili zesalathiso ezinokubakho. Siza kuxoxa ukuba zeziphi iifosili zesalathiso, ukubaluleka kwazo kwixesha lokwakheka komhlaba, imida yeefosili zesalathiso zemveli, indlela abantu abanokuba ngamathambo esalathiso, indlela yokusebenzisa abantu njengeefosili zesalathiso, imingeni kunye neendlela zokuziphatha zokusebenzisa abantu njengeefosili zesalathiso, kunye ikamva lesalathiso samathambo.
Ukuqonda iiFossils zesalathiso kunye nokubaluleka kwazo
Iifosili zesalathiso ziifossils zezinto eziphilayo ezaziphila ngexesha elithile kwaye zineempawu ezahlukileyo ezenza ukuba zibonakale lula. Zisetyenziswa njengesixhobo somhla wokwakheka kwamatye kunye nokunxibelelanisa iileya zamatye ezivela kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo. Ngokomzekelo, ukuba uhlobo oluthile lwe-trilobite lufunyenwe kwi-rock layer, kuyaziwa ukuba i-rock layer ivela kwixesha elithile. Ukusetyenziswa kweefosili zesalathiso kuvumela izazinzulu ngokwakheka komhlaba ukuba zenze umda wexesha lembali yoMhlaba.
Iifosili zesalathiso zibalulekile kuba zibonelela ngendlela yokwenziwa komhla wamatye anokuthi aqulathe ezinye iintlobo zeefosili. Bakwavumela izazi ze geologists ukuba zinxulumanise iileya zamatye ezisuka kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo, nto leyo ibalulekile ekuqondeni imbali yoMhlaba. I-Fossils ye-Index inokunika ulwazi malunga nokusingqongileyo apho bahlala khona, njengemozulu, i-geography, kunye ne-ecology yelo xesha. Zikwaluncedo ekuqondeni ukuvela kwezinto eziphilayo ngokuhamba kwexesha.
