Context and question: There is no easy way to determine when clothing was first developed, but some information has been inferred by studying lice. The body louse specifically lives in clothing, and diverge from head lice about 107,000 years ago, suggesting that clothing existed at that time. Another theory is that modern humans are the only survivors of several species of primates who may have worn clothes and that clothing may have been used as long ago as 650 thousand years ago. Other louse-based estimates put the introduction of clothing at around 42,00072,000 BP.
How many thousands of years ago may have clothing been worn?
Answer: 650
Context and question: Federalism is one of the entrenched constitutional principles of Germany. According to the German constitution (called Grundgesetz or in English Basic Law), some topics, such as foreign affairs and defense, are the exclusive responsibility of the federation (i.e., the federal level), while others fall under the shared authority of the states and the federation; the states retain residual legislative authority for all other areas, including "culture", which in Germany includes not only topics such as financial promotion of arts and sciences, but also most forms of education and job training. Though international relations including international treaties are primarily the responsibility of the federal level, the constituent states have certain limited powers in this area: in matters that affect them directly, the states defend their interests at the federal level through the Bundesrat (literally Federal Council, the upper house of the German Federal Parliament) and in areas where they have legislative authority they have limited powers to conclude international treaties "with the consent of the federal government".
Which political system is not used in Germany?
Answer: unanswerable
Context and question: The lower (Triassic) boundary is set by the PermianTriassic extinction event, during which approximately 90% to 96% of marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrates became extinct. It is also known as the "Great Dying" because it is considered the largest mass extinction in the Earth's history. The upper (Cretaceous) boundary is set at the CretaceousTertiary (KT) extinction event (now more accurately called the CretaceousPaleogene (or KPg) extinction event), which may have been caused by the impactor that created Chicxulub Crater on the Yucatan Peninsula. Towards the Late Cretaceous large volcanic eruptions are also believed to have contributed to the CretaceousPaleogene extinction event. Approximately 50% of all genera became extinct, including all of the non-avian dinosaurs.
What event sets the boundary for the Triassic?
Answer:
PermianTriassic extinction
