Hello to all curious minds!
We are happy to welcome you to the first season of HackBenchers North America. It is the time of the quarter to learn and build something exciting. HackBenchers North America brings you an interesting topic to work on: Evolution.
Evolution: A natural selection process
The age of the Earth is about 4.54 billion years. The earliest evidence of life on Earth dates to at least 3.5 billion years ago. In the beginning, all living beings on Earth were single-celled organisms. After a billion year, multicellular organisms evolved and increased the diversity of life on Earth. The evolution does not explain the origin of life but it does explain how lifeforms rapidly evolved into the complex ecosystem that we see today.
This HackBenchers revolves around the past of the evolution of all living beings. There are various questions about the past of living beings that must be addressed. For example, several million years ago:
- What were we?
- What were our form and structure?
- How did we look?
- What did we eat?
- How did we survive?
- What was our behavioral trait?
Isn't it interesting to walk through the past and understand this huge transformation?
Here is a video by Kurzgesagt: In a nutshell that explains what, why, and how of the evolution:
HackBenchers North America absolutely helps you to find the story about our evolution. If you are eager to know about how lifeforms evolved on Earth, then this season of HackBenchers is exclusively for you.
It sure is going to be interesting and challenging. In case you need any help throughout the project, we are here to guide you. Scroll down to view problem statements and understand the expectations of this project.
