Science quote of the day:
"Science, I am told, is making great strides, experimenting, groping after things which no sane man has ever dreamed of before - without being burned alive for it." ~ Walter de la Mare
Welcome to the 115th Daily Field Note! Here you find the top post of the day, one covering each scientific field that is included by Geopolis. Since these authors put a lot of effort in writing a good post they surely deserve the extra exposure.
Geopolis is a project to promote and connect authors who write in the fields of global sciences. You can read more about the project and how to join here:

Geography: Cartographic mapping :An insight
@prettyprecyHello steemians; Hope our day is going on well as planed? Today I will be talking to us about cartography in general ,the different cartographic map making techniques and how we can apply them to be useful as regards map making. Cartography can be said to be the art of drawing maps. The special designs given to maps, lines drawn on a paper or on the computer. These drawings are drawn using a mapping technique which is called map projections. In the medieval periods, people drew line in most cases using their imaginations just to describe or depict the way a particular place may be and can be .these were mere descriptions which cannot be said to be totally true in most cases because the information could be bias or exaggerated.

If you haven't seen Infinity Wars, you probably shouldn't read any farther! Fair warning, MASSIVE spoilers ahead. Seriously, don't read any farther unless you've already seen the movie or don't care if it gets spoiled...
History: THE BIOGRAPHY OF THE UNIVERSE - The Evolution of Man (Part 6) THE END
@agbonaTaking account of our biological ancestors, this article intends to show the evolutionary processes that lead to the rise of the Homo-sapiens (MAN). A complete and honest scientific analysis of we humans suggests that we are more or less living members and descendants of different life forms that existed a long time ago. Like the bird that can sing, and the fish that can dive, we are the animals that can reason; a species that walks upright, form social groups and evolved from the forests of Africa about three hundred thousand years ago.
