A famous conflict was between Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) and the Roman Catholic Church. In this conflict, science and religion argued over where the center of the universe…

The concept of race has been modified over time as people change their perspective of the world. Determining the boundaries of human ‘races’ has proven to be challenging, and there have been inconsistencies in defining these racial boundaries (James, 2016). Genetic variation arises from hereditary traits and environmental factors acting on populations. Humans are very visual individuals and consequently, classify things based on what they perceive. When different groups of people came into…

Bryan D’Ostroph SOAN 207 Midterm Assessment Darwin, Social Darwinism, and Darwinian Archeology “Why, if man can patiently select variations most useful to himself, should nature fail in selecting variations useful, under changing conditions of life, to her living products?” This key question that Darwin poses in his chapter “Recapitulation and Conclusion” helps to exemplify the ideas that he conveys regarding natural selection and “descent with modification.” Darwin distinguishes between…

The hypothesis of evolution by natural selection, initially formulated in Darwin 's book "On the Origin of Species" in 1859, is the process by which organisms change over time as an aftereffect of changes in heritable physical or behavioral characteristics. His voyages on H.M.S Beagle as a naturalist amazed him about the inhabitants of the species. Darwin uses various sciences to explain natural selection. Darwin used anthropology as a framework to understand human origins and how natural…

Many oral traditions have successfully passed on through the centuries, eventually being printed and adapted into what we know as fairy tales. These tales have commonly served as a tool for the older generation to instill lessons and values into the fresh new minds of the younger due to the stories’ effective ability to resonate with children. The relevancy of their teachings has allowed for many of these countless tales to live on well into the modern era. However, their lessons about…

1. Introduction. Ernst Mayr identifies the ‘One Long Argument’ in The Origin of Species (“Origin’) as a compound theory of two independent activities: modification over time and diversification in geographical space (Mayr 86). This paper will focus on the second element of Darwin’s compound theory, species diversification in geographical space as argued by Jerry Coyne in Why Evolution is True. My thesis is twofold: First, Coyne incorporates Darwin’s geographical space theory into four…
