It is the consummate library of information, remembering data and processing it as quickly as 11 million bits per second (The Human Brain). The brain is a…

Current research aids in the modification of the human ancestral tree and the analysis of various sites. One of the newest sites dealing with human evolution is the Rising Star cave system in South Africa, where a new species of human ancestors, Homo naledi…

Collection and Identification of an Environmental Bacteria to the Genus level Introduction: Bacteria can be found virtually anywhere, and interaction with these organisms occurs daily (Fitzpatrick & Allison, 2014). However, though the interaction between human and bacterium is continual, it is not always known what type of bacteria a person is coming into contact with. Therefore it is important to understand, and to have knowledge about, the characteristics of bacteria in our environment. As…

Anglican Protestantism did not resonate with most of the slave population, as it heavily rejected mysticism, something which many African slaves still culturally practiced. Although, during the Great Awakening (1700-1790) blacks and whites in the South were swept up in the religious revival which taught all souls are equal.…
