Modern evolutionary synthesis

I have always been a fan of Charles Darwin and his ideas of natural selection and the thoughts of evolution. This short film demonstrates his discoveries and how it influences today’s natural world in a remarkable and evolving way. Through the video, it easily explains about how life is thought-provoking and the signs of the changing world are around us (if its deep underground or in a large amazon forest). It amazes me through this film about how he had developed the idea about the Tree of…

In this universe there have been many theories on how our world came to what it is today, but there was one man who had it figured out. Charles Darwin was a naturalist and geologist, he changed the world with his theory of natural selection and how everything evolves. When Darwin finished his voyage he put his theory out there to the world, taking the risk of knowing the aftermath might not be so good. The theory of evolution by natural selection was created by Charles Darwin in 1836. Darwin…

probably useful to an ancestor. Types of Evolution are factors such as environment and predation pressures where organisms can have different effects on the ways in which the organism needs evolve in order to survive. Divergent Evolution is the evolutionary pattern in which two species gradually become increasingly different. Adaptive Radiation is a type of evolution where an animal or plant group into a wide variety of types adapted to specialized modes of life. Convergent Evolution takes…

Biogeography It shows how the past and present geographical distribution of organisms played a role in their evolution.Also, how species are distributed in accordance to the genetic relationships they share with other organisms. Marsupials and Placental Mammals Marsupials animals are almost exclusively found in Australia, while Placental mammals are very rare there. There are fossils of marsupials in North America, and South America. 30 million years ago South America and Australia…

Luis Correa The Reluctant Mr. Darwin David Quammen 251 Pages The Main Characters in this book are Charles Darwin. Charles Darwin was born in England on the 12th of February 1809, he died on the 19th of April 1882. was a man everyone knew. Maybe you knew him from his Darwinism or Darwinian. He was a man that believed in the theory of evolution. He believes that humans (Us) became ourselves by slowly evolving from animals. He lived his entire life trying to show evidence and prove that evolution…

in the video, Koko learned how to communicate using sign language and he expressed his opinion about taking care of the Earth. In short, Koko is a wise man and his ability to think is only a human can does. Maybe, not as wide understanding as the modern man but still, he can think like a human. If we compared the physical feature of man to an animal, the monkeys rather chimpanzees is the most likely of the man. According to scientist's study, there is changes in the human body of human, the…

Relevance of Evolution in Modern Health Care Understanding the relevance of evolution in the field of medicine has led to several scientific breakthroughs. Naturally, the theory of evolution is the glue that holds the two together, and is said to give science its purpose. As medical science continues to make much needed progress in the development of new medications and treatments, its findings can be exploited by thoroughly exploring evolution. Through the vast scholarship on biological…

The nature versus nurture debate is one of the oldest philosophical issues within psychology. Nature refers to all genes and hereditary factors that influence who we are - from our physical appearance to our personality characteristics. Nurture refers to all the environmental variables that impact who we are, including early childhood experiences, how we were raised, our social relationships, and our surrounding culture. Even today, different branches of psychology often take one or the other…

Several positions exist in philosophy regarding human nature. Karl Marx and Charles Darwin give two of these positions. Karl Marx’s philosophical position on human nature was that economic substructure and society determines human nature (Wall 279). He felt that humans are social animals that are driven to produce in a way that benefited society, and that human nature is “expressed in a drive to spontaneously and creatively produce products in a manner that is conducive to social and…

Earth’s biodiversity is been around for eons, one of the key factors why it have existed that long, is because of evolution and extinction. It is the nature’s way to continually adapt to the fast changing environment, though extinction is the “end of the line” of all living species; it is the key to the survival of the future generation species. But with humans around premature extinction will be a problem due to our selfishness and loss of respect to our environment. With humans also known as…
