people, including six million Jews, under the leadership of Hitler and the Nazi Party.

The common attribute of anti-Semitism through the…

of the womb," a common proverb, suggests that a promise kept between two people is more important than genetic relations. However, relatives and family held great significance for Europe during World War II, where bloodlines and genetics were often the difference between life and death. Blood is a motif of war, and how fitting that The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, set in the bloodiest war in history, is not only a story of a girl living in Nazi Germany, but also a story about family and the…

little bit of history on biological weapons, and my views on biological weapons. A biological weapon is also known as a germ weapon. This is when bacteria, viruses, fungi, or toxins can be used as a weapon against, animals, plants of humans. The use of infectious agents were used in warfare. Diseases were known to kill off more soldiers more than combat has. This tactic was used because it has the ability to kill or injure a humans with little to no effort. The history of genetics began many…

technology have saved the lives of hordes of people suffering from illnesses and disorders; however, some of these medical advancements, such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis, enable doctors and parents to slaughter offspring that are deemed unfit. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a screening test used to determine if genetic or chromosomal disorders are present in embryos produced through in vitro fertilization (IVF). This technology also allow parents to choose their child’s…

It is based on history and observation of the jerky movements and associated with other behavioral disorders (Jankovic, 2011). A familial history of similar symptoms is essential in diagnosis. The tics could be…

Valley civilizations are unknown but, most scholars point to natural disasters or the invasion of the Aryans.

It is in the Rig Veda, the main book, that we find the potential beginnings of the caste…

Survival of the Sickest Analysis In Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection, Darwin suggests that those organisms that possess certain characteristics that give them an advantage over other organisms, are to be more likely to survive and pass on their traits to other organisms of their species through reproduction. Thus, through evolution, all life on earth is bound to only get stronger and improve its chances of survival - or be…

The Columbian Exchange In the 1960’s historian Alfred Crosby wrote a book about history from the ecological perspective called the Columbian Exchange.

Since then, the book has become known as a foundational text for the field of environmental…

impact of zebra mussels, little is known about the geographical history of their invasions and patterns of genetic differentiation among and within populations in their native and invaded ranges (May, Gelembiuk, Panov, Orlova, & Lee, 2006). From what is known, zebra mussels were first described by German zoologist Peter Simon Pallas in 1769 and originally endemic to the northern and southern regions of the Ponto-Caspian Sea in Eastern Europe (Johnson & Carlton, 1996).
