This has led some biologists to suggest one of the forces that led to the domestication of dogs was a shift in human lifestyle in the form of established human settlements. Permanent settlements would have coincided with a greater amount of disposable food and would have created a barrier between wild and anthropogenic…

The article, “The Genetic Architecture of Domestication in Animals” by Dominic Wright talks about the diversity in domesticated animals. The contrast between domesticated animals and their wild counterparts are their genetic makeup. The genes have changed over the years due to evolution, adaptation, and inbreeding. The author explores the question if the clusters in the genome represent the pleiotropic effects or if the clusters are actually linked clusters. Dominic Wright states that the…

Columbus unknowingly arrived in the New World, and the implications were profound for both the Natives and the Europeans.…

The Roots of Inequality Worldwide 600 million children are living in extreme poverty, over 3 billion people live on less than 2.50 dollars a day. How is this possible? How did the world become so unequal? The answer lays in our agriculture, our animals, and our ability to grow and conquer. The people of Papua New Guinea are extremely under-developed, why? Because they live in such a wet and unforgiving climate, that they are constantly in search for food. Their main food source? Sago, a…
