History of biology

Since the beginning of the world’s earliest scientists, animals have been used for testing. Though most people probably do not know, infamous scientists such as Aristotle and Erasistratus used live animals to test various experiments, and since then the testing has not stopped. “About 20 million animals are experimented on and killed annually, three-fourths for medical purposes and the rest to test various products. An estimated eight million are used in painful experiments. Reports show that at…

Animal testing was revived in Greece about 2300 years ago; however, it became widely used only from 1850 (Understanding animal research, 2015). After this time, many breakthroughs were made such as insulin for diabetics, hepatitis C vaccine and medicine for epilepsy, which have saved countless number of animals’ and humans’ lives (AMP, 2015). Today, we have developed many alternatives to animal testing, thanks to new technologies, which are used to develop and test new medicine and treatments;…

Perform in of this paper analyzes Asian of this paper I will cover the key factors of our patients challenged life. The first issue I will discuss is our patients homelessness. And the case study population is homeless because she does not feel comfortable in her home because of past situations that has went on between her and her family. In some ways she has felt that she can do bad all about herself. In a way, a patient feels that she is better off as homeless instead of being in the home…

Title: Paws for a Cause Animal testing is defined by dictionary.com as the use of non-human animals in research and development projects, esp. for purposes of determining the safety of substances such as foods or drugs. In my personal opinion, animal testing is not required for the majority, if not all, tests and research studies that occur today. Animal testing is done to test perfumes, cosmetics, shampoos, and other non-essential items/products. Most animal testing is not done in the name of…

41. What is the Innermost Essence of ‘MATERIALIZATION’ & ‘DEMATERIALIZATION’? • An average Terrestrial Man was puzzling and at the same time fascinated by phenomena of Materialization or Manifestation which is Appearance or Creation of (Living) Matter from an unknown source, and even more with ‘Teleportation’. The last is Dematerialization and Re-materialization which is a ‘transfer’ of Matter or Living Body from ‘point A’ to ‘point B’ without traversing Physical space between them. Per example…

Forces of Evolution Mammals have evolved in ways that are beneficial for them, ensuring their survival and turning them into the beings that we are familiar with today. Species, organisms which have always had features in common, evolve through four main forces: gene flow, genetic drift, mutations, and natural selection. Genetic drift involves a population, a group of the same species that lives in the same geographical and temporal location. Genetic drift causes changes to occur in members…

When we look at living individuals today, there are at least a million differences amongst them, and yet there are multiple similarities. No living individual is the same as they were a year ago. It is known that many significant individuals have looked for answers of possibly why this has occurred, and is still occurring. Despite the various approaches from multiple fields of study, there has always been a connection between the studies conducted; evolution. From physical attributes to one’s…

In Neil Shubins’ “Your Inner Fish: A Journey Into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body”, he takes the audience on the journey of the discovery and history of how different organisms and adaptations have converged to form a relationship between fish and tetrapods. Shubins first relates the evolutionary fact that humans and other forms of “tetrapods’ major body systems have developed from fish and sharks” (20), through his time on the field as a paleontologist. He describes his multiple…

Students of Yr. 11, Marian Catholic College biology class, took on the role of a field officer for the Department of Environment and Climate Change to investigate the biological community present near Euroley Bridge, Yanco. During their time, they were to observe the various organisms that are found in the ecosystem, taking into account their surroundings amid this process. They were provided with a booklet that had various activities which were intrinsic to their Field reports such as a site…
