Evolution: The Mindless Mechanism Life began on earth 3.5 billion years ago with the presence of primitive single-celled organisms. It is from these organisms that all life evolved. Species diverge from one another through mechanisms of change such as mutation, migration, genetic drift, and natural selection. Though a mechanism of change, natural selection does not strive for perfection. Rather, it is a process resulting from variation in heritable traits. A mindless mechanism with no objective…

The crocodiles twist together trying to align their cloaca. The male then inseminates the female. Crocodiles do not have a mating partner for their whole life. Nesting: crocodiles deposit their eggs into holes in the ground. A female will normally lay between 30 to 60 eggs that will hatch for 80 to 90 days. The temperature of the soil in the nest determines the sex of the hatchlings…

should raise together and bring in money together. Things should be worked for as a team and not an individual. “A similar study showed that monkeys brought up without other monkeys of the opposite sex had no interest in mating- all of which suggests that both mothering and mating behaviors are learned, not instinctual.” This shows that woman are taught to want to have children and not because they want to themselves.

(Luo and Zhang, 2009). An important phenomenon that elaborates on this point is ‘assortative mating’. Assortative mating refers to the tendency for individuals to be paired with mates who have similar physical, behavioral, and psychological characteristics (Lutz, 1905; Lykken & Tellegen, 1993). It involves matching with people who have similar phenotypes, more frequently than you would have in a random mating situation. This further leads to people settling into long-term relationships with…

On the Marquardt Beauty Analysis website, even though there are differences with people that are in the same category, there are familiarities of people group in the same category because as Marquardt, S.

Many women now have an obsession with height. So how did this all start? Where did this 6’ expectation come from when the average height for a male in the United States is 5’ 10”? Doctor Susan Whitborne suggests that it may be due to primitive mating habits. A taller male would be preferred by a mate, because taller was often conflated with being stronger and faster (Psychology Today). These traits would provide a mate with a sense of safety, which was preferred. When you look at this from a…
