13. Our advantage in the “survive and reproduce race” is that we are intelligent. We know that we want to reproduce and survive. We learn mechanisms or tactics to protect ourselves and survive. An example of this is antibiotics. The author describes the battle between bacteria and antibiotics as an “Arm race” because whenever new antibiotics are introduced or discovered bacteria always develop resistance to it. An example is penicillin when it first came out in 1928, it worked great but 22 years later in 1950 40% of bacteria were resistant to penicillin. This is because of the rapid mutation rate of bacteria, and it is more beneficial for them to mutate quickly to respond to the antibiotics to reproduce and survive.

The savanna and aquatic ape hypotheses are two rivalry explanations that attempt to answer evolutionary changes in humans. The savanna hypothesis holds that our apelike ancestors migrated to the great grassy plains from forests because of climate change. The aquatic ape hypothesis tried to explain an evolutionary cycle without concentrating on males. It suggested that humans spent time in both the water and land. Because standing upright allowed humans to go into deeper water.
23. The book “Survival of the Sickest” supports the quotation by Theodosius Dobzhansky stating that, “Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution.” The book explains the reasoning behind many wonderful events that are related to the human race and their interactions with other organisms through the idea of evolution. Dr. Moalem answers any question appropriate to the actions and behaviors of multiple species under the same goal- to survive and
