Human evolution

As the years progress, scientists make scientific breakthroughs about evolution or creation. My main goal in this paper is to give 6 or more scientific facts and discoveries to help support my belief in creationism. My first scientific fact of creation is the development of intermediate species and how scientists have no fossil records of them. Intermediate species are one of the biggest arguments a creationist can give against an evolutionist. In intermediate species the argument is if one…

The African Leopard is becoming more threatened as humans encroach on their habitat and poach them for their coats. A black variation of the African leopard exists, leaving some individuals with a much darker coat. The allele associated with this phenotype is “a” recessive allele and shows presence in an individual when it is homozygous. The normal patterned leopard coat is expressed by the dominant “A” allele and shows presence in an individual when it is homozygous as well as heterozygous. The…

frequencies due to recurring natural selection. In fact, natural selection and mutation were considered the main hypotheses for the sickle gene cell. However, those hypotheses limit in explaining the entirety for the frequency of the HbS allele in human populations around the globe. The complex relationship between the HbS allele frequencies and the level of malaria prevalence support the malaria hypothesis at a global scale and further demonstrate why adaptation or natural selection alone…

Evolutionary biologists such as Richard Dawkins1 , Paul Meyers2, and Jerry Coyne3, and philosophers of science such as Daniel Dennett4, Micheal Ruse5, and Peter Singer6 have produced differing defences and explanations of Darwinism, its roots, and its various implications within a Neo-Darwinian framework. In many cases, these have been intended for wider consumption beyond academia and have incorporated the promotion of Darwin as a unique historical agent, with Dawkins arguably leading the pack…

All of whom saw the variation caused by breeding or artificial selection to acquire a desired trait. Darwin just had to puzzle together the missing pieces and voila. He proves evolution. Sounds simple in theory, but the amount of investigation Darwin put forth is astonishing. If you read On the Origin of Species, it feels like a journey as Darwin starts with the simple foundation of his ideas and expands into a masterpiece of scientific…

I have just finished a wonderful book! The end of evolution is a realistic fiction book by Peter Ward. In this book he describes the two greater mass extinction in the history of our planet and compare them to the mass extinction presently occurring in our world. He give a really good point about both side of the history for us to understand the subject. Peter Ward is professor of geological science, adjunct professor of zoology, and curator of paleontology at the University of Washington in…

No one has influenced our knowledge of life on Earth as much as the English naturalist Charles Darwin 1809-1882. His theory of evolution by natural selection, now the unifying theory of the life sciences, explained where all of the astonishingly diverse kinds of living things came from and how they became exquisitely adapted to their particular environments. His theory reconciled a host of diverse kinds of evidence such as the progressive fossil record, geographical distribution of species,…

The article H. J. McCloskey wrote, On Being an Atheist, discusses how arguments presented are proof that God does not exist. As I learned from Dr. Foreman’s presentation, Arguments for God’s Existence, there is nothing that can be proven with one-hundred percent certainty. We need not use arguments, but we should use evidence, just as an attorney in building a case against or for an accused. (Foreman, Approaching the Question of God 's Existence n.d.) Evidence sometimes is circumstantial, full…

Evolution is “the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth” (Dictionary). What was accepted as the origin of the species before Darwin’s discovery…

society through the years. He discusses all the ways the culture has been able to manipulate and create new organisms. However, many of his facts and each topic is briefly touched upon. Paul Root Wolpe conveys the message that humans have taken control and advanced evolution, yet the evidence used to support the main claim is not the most reliable and he makes counter statements that challenge the main claim. While stating facts, Paul Root Wolpe grants no knowledge of where this information is…
