This excerpt from the book Literature and its Times has an in depth analysis of Victorian Life and provides a brief biography of Robert Louis Stevenson. According to Moss, Stevenson was very involved with Calvinism in his childhood which contributed to an active imagination. This active imagination may have contributed to the creation of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. For example, Moss shows how religion inspired Stevenson’s writings: “Furthermore, Dr. Jekyll’s resignation and…

importance of this debate survived countless generations of scientific inquiry because it was a critical part of step towards a greater quest to explain the existence of life. For many centuries, the evidence on evolution was often unsubstantiated until Charles Darwin, developed the foundational ideas of evolution, creating a set of postulates that when adhered to, could determine if a species is able to evolve. The first of these…

The speaker in this passage describes the poor living conditions of an American soldier in Iraq. The soldier writes this letter to his friends and family to describe his living space on the base.

Certain bacteria are able evolve over a single lifetime. This antibiotic resistance occurs when the bacteria changes in a way that reduces the drug’s effect on itself. This will allow the bacteria to survive and multiply. A whale’s flipper has a very similar anatomical structure to a bat’s wing. They each have a large bone in the upper arm, two bones in the lower part of the arm, and a smaller collection of bones creating a sort of wrist with fingers. Even those these two species are so…

accident. Evolution should not be taught in schools because it is giving people the wrong idea of life and the most backwards way of human existence. Evolution was designed to escape religion in all. By creating a theory to escape the belief in a god, Charles Darwin has changed science as we know it. He not only created a theory with 0 evidence and didn’t believe it himself, but got smart scientists today to agree with it. Even though there are many loopholes and missing pieces in the theory,…

The Undeniable Correlation Between Hybridization and Evolution The article “Shaking up the Tree of Life” by Elizabeth Pennisi, Pennisi discusses the abrupt interest in hybridization in the early 2010s. Pennisi starts the article with the discovery of the similarities between Neanderthal and humans. This confirmed the hypotheses that anthropologists and geologists had argued for decades — that our ancestors had mated with their cousins, which, in turn, originated hybrid offspring. These…
