Stop 1: Chimpanzee, Modern Human, and Neandertal Skeleton 1. The modern human skeleton is much larger in size compared to the chimpanzee and hominid skeleton. The Chimpanzee had longer arms, much narrower rib cage and smaller skull compared to both ancient hominid and human. On the other hand, the hominid had robust bone joints, allowing more flexibility. The skeleton structure of chimpanzee indicates that they moved by using four limbs while both human and hominid walked upright. 2. The…

There’s an elephant in the room, and her name is Lucy. Whether talking figuratively or literally, this room is much too small, and has sparked major controversy in the eyes of people all around the world. The sad truth about an idiom representing an issue that is too big to ignore, yet no one wants to talk about, is that it also represents a lonely elephant in a frigid Canadian zoo; confined in a small area surrounded by concrete, and metal bars for most of the year.

The term “evolution” conjures the image of a single-celled amoeba’s gradual progression and eventual formation into a multicellular organism. This process occurs over a period of time when organisms undergo a variety of hurdles which may alter their biological and chemical structures to differentiate them from another species. Charles Darwin, the father of evolutionary theory pioneered the idea that life had a common origin from which species arose from. In one of his famous works, “On the…

If someone came up to you and said that they’d pay you $100 to give up your current lifestyle and return to a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, would you do it? What about for $1,000? Would you still do it for no money at all, but with the knowledge that it would give you a better life? I would. My family would think me to be crazy. In fact, most Americans and Europeans would think that I was crazy, too. As stated in the passage Agriculture, for Better and Worse by Jared Diamond, they would think that…

Chickens: Let Them Live Free The conditions of factory farms and the horrific way poultry is handled in the United States is appalling. Eggs and chicken meat are not required for human survival. There is no reason to cause such a sentient animal to go through so much agony for the sake of a non-essential protein. The inhumane treatment of chickens in the United States must be stopped. Throughout history, in the United States, the business of raising poultry has endured many changes; most of…

Will humans wage war as long as we exist? Since the beginning of time, humans have engaged in war, spilling blood of millions. As humans become more modern, will we still carry the habit of warfare? Is war in our blood? These questions can be answered if we look into our past. Warfare shows many of our advancements and instincts, such as human evolution, territorial and population issues, and reasons why humans must fight. Is it part of human evolution to create wars? Our ancestors, chimpanzees,…

This is understandable for most people, why waste time foraging around for an item when it is available online? Consequently, the internet is the way to go, but does it make people spend more? Evidently, every store has a shipping fee, the fee depends on the person 's location. If the buyer lives in Miami,…
