I already said in my previosus posts, bacteria wouldn't sustain bacteria but most people would consider it in a situation of life and death. When did I say that it would sustain life in the desert? Meat would, animals would.

Only the ones with a small brian? Really? How can you give proof of this. An example would be quite helpful as I haven't heard of such a story. You'll have to bare with me, I haven't finished my HSC yet, please tell me.

That's quite true, but most billobongs are quite salty in the desert that it could not sustain the life of a plant. The possiblity would be quite low to find plankton in the desert overall.

Evolution doesn't gurantee a change. Not every race which undergoes evolution will change. Some tend to stay the same, but as human beings, they did evovle the same way as us but their life styles stayed the same when the Europeans established a whole new generation of human civilisation.

Hang on, who is "they"?

Bacteria, are there planktons in the desert?

Your point?

And why should I list edible bacteria? I find it irrelevent since I gave you the scenario of being trapped in a desert, how is this supposed to affect me? I think it is your problem what you eat in the desert, not mine.

There were enough of them to sustain planktons and fishes, I suppose until you die. This is not a survival method by the way unless you're willing to have a go at other insects or animals- raw or cooked in which involves beating and killing the animal with a stick or rock of some kind, which was...

Well I say, at least they lasted longer than most of us. They were probably one of the first races besides the discovery of the Afraicans to have existed on Earth. But you have to give credit for that. In evolution, not all races progress. While the Europeans evovled and established a new...

Don't forget algae and cynobacteria :)

Thanks for the quick lecture, but Aboriginals are also human beings as well, and they evolved with the human race for the last 40,000 years. They just evolved differently placed in different conditions. It's not wrong or stupid, it is just different. I don't see how that's seen as a big...

You understand that this does apply to a situation in which there is nothing else to eat other than bacteria itself for survival. Other wise, no, no one is going to harvest and eat bacteria. ;)

I'll try not to be too detailed with my reponse, but I do believe that it would be in my biology book on the topic- Ecosystems, billobongs.

Evolving takes a long process. It doesn't happen in the snap of your fingers. Why do you think we were once monkeys millions of years ago? Anyway, I don't think that you would stand a chance to survive long enough to evolve.

There is bacteria in billobongs as I last checked. Dry deserts doesn't usually account for absolute dryness.

How else would they have caught their food in the absence of technology? If I took away your microwave, oven, bread and anything that was eatable and put you in a dry desert, you would be catching fishes with sticks for the sake of your own survival. Or there is the other option which is to die...

If you can't say anything good, then don't say anything at all. The tree is not important.

I'm sorry, but I don't see how survival of the fittest fits into this. Survival of the fittest involves posessing favoritable characteristics which help one to survive in their environment. There's usually something in the middle which distinquishs a difference (e.g: birds with long beaks and...

It's not going to be likely you will get the laptop. As someone said, the school gets it and provides it to you. Also, I sort of overheard someone at my Saturday school say that the laptops only apply to government schools rather than private schools. Ouch! Is this true? ;)
