Evolutionary history of life

During the latter part of their evolutionary cycle humanity was deeply worried about its own demise. Perusing through the numerous, surviving records of the era, it is fairly easy to identify some of humanity's most common fears: zombie apocalypse, disappearance of bees, evil artificial intelligence, different types of nuclear Armageddon, genetically modified foods, biological weapons gone wild, evil alien invasion, meteor impact, religious rapture, Ebola epidemic, and others. Humans were right…

World Heritage Site? Ilocandia is considered a World Heritage site because of its rich treasures. These rich treasures are the cultural and natural heritage sites that are irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration. And it is because of the churches erected by the Spaniards, and the history that lies in the place. Places as unique and diverse like Paoay Church that has a unique combination of baroque and oriental styles, and Vigan, the Intramuros of the Ilocos, when I compare this…

find best solution to an imbalanced society. Sumner’s social science perspective believed no individual or group owes anything to any other group regardless of their respective level of success. The laws of God and Nature ordained the conditions of life, which include labor and self-denial and no one has a right or claim to anyone else’s efforts. But, as a society everyone’s productivity is needed, therefore a social contract solves the issues of social inequity, by creating a mutual level of…

metabolism of an animal change with increasing temperature?˝ includes a selection of measurements depending on his/her understanding of processes involved in metabolism (either from biochemical, physiological, genetic, evolutionary… point of view), the pre-treatment (life history) of the animal, researcher´s equipment (specialization of the laboratory) and so on. But at least in Natural sciences the subject that is giving answers is not biased, because it is not a conscious…

researchers, is that race is only important when it might indicate coalitional information – that is, whose team you are on. In situations where race isn't correlated with coalition, it ceases to be important. This, they claim, makes sense from an evolutionary perspective.” With this statement from BBC future, they state that the brain indicates more of the race of a person to remember. Researchers did tests of a person's memory where they had people look at images of people of different races…

However, upon isolation or fear of death, the human thought process tends to revert to what is associated to animal-like behaviour. Humans tend to separate themselves from animal life forms as animals…

French Cultural History, American cultural historian Robert Darton argues that readers can access the “social dimension of thought” via folktales because stories are often influenced by the “surrounding world of significance” (6). He claims that folktales often evolve to reflect the social attitude at the time at which they are told. Thus, as Darton suggests, it is “…unwise to build an interpretation on a single version of a single tale (18)”. Focusing especially on the evolutionary aspect of…

One of the most important human relationship that individual creates with other human is the relatively long-term emotionally bond in which an individual looks for security and comfort from the presence of another, i.e. the attachment. ‘A baby cannot exist alone, but is essentially part of a relationship’ (Winnicot, 1964). According to psychoanalytic and behaviourist perspective feeding was seen as a central context in which the caregiver and babies develop attachment. Idea not shared among the…
