Animals of the future
The idea of trying to imagine (0) what sort of animals will be living on our planet in thousands (1)
if not millions of years seems at (2)
first sight to be futile. Can we possibly imagine what's in store so (3)
far in the future? The team of scientists (4)
that/which work on the question is to be published soon, all (5)
the same, applied a great (6)
deal more than guesswork (7)
on the task.
Each of them, specialising (8)
in a different scientific discipline, has used understanding of the past to figure (9)
out all the environments that may be available to future life forms. By studying past ice ages and climates, they have deduced the (10)
formula /l
aw/
rule (think the first one fits here most; uncertain about the two others) in which weather patterns will, in all probability, affect different areas of the globe. From their study of past evolution, they claim they can predict (11)
what life will adapt to fit the new ecological conditions (12)
brought about by these changes. Because there is a series of rules governing evolution in the past, it requires no great leap of faith to look in the other direction. The result is a collection of very-wierd looking creatures. (13)
Although the scientists admit they may be wrong, they say it is the (14)
thing/idea they can come up with, based on what they know, with just a little imagination thrown in for really (15)
good measure.
