Greek philosopher, born in 384BC died in 347BC. Through his work, the “Scala naturae” also called “the great chain of being”, Artistotle tried to analyze the relationship between all living things. “Scala naturae” is the earliest work of taxonomy in biology, which categorized species on Earth from the simplest to most complex. He also declared that species could not ever change over time. Nicholas Steno (1638-1686): Steno was a Danish scientist. Steno was an anatomist and bishop in the Catholic…

in the classroom and while shadowing a physician. While these two types of learning are very different, they both are vital aspects of having a holistic education in the biological sciences. Through my major in Cell Biology and Neuroscience, I have also been able to build on my biology foundation by delving more deeply into neuroscience, the facet of the life sciences that most interests me. I also have had hands-on experience working at the cellular level in my laboratory and have developed a…

In every single learning aspect we learn more and more as time progresses. If it may be the slight change in weather or possibly even a new discovery we continue to learn and gain a better understanding of the world we are living in, and how we live in it. We have broadened our capabilities to understanding the human body and the certain processes that we need to be completed in order for us to keep surviving in this world, and we just keep going up from there. Since we have come to the…

issue that does not have a definitive cure. This is what began my desire for helping others by assisting in finding cures or new ways to more effectively treat diseases. Through Biomedical Sciences, I am able to make contributions to the fields of biology and medicine. A PhD in Biomedical Sciences is not typical of a person interested in learning sciences. However, I find it important that biomedical scientists begin to research areas involved with learning sciences. A degree in biomedical…

I plan to pursue my love of Biology by attaining a degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. I hope to further my knowledge in the clusters The Amazing Red Blood Cell, and Living Oceans in Climate Change at UCSD. While the former appeals to my determination to discover innovative ways to remedy human ailments, the latter appeals to my desire to address the pressing issue of climate change. My interest in biology began in freshman year. We learned about the different parts to the cell, and I was…

Darwin 's theory of evolution is a widely held concept that all life is related through the descent of a common ancestor with modification. It presumes the development of life from non-life and how complex creatures evolve over time from more simplistic ancestors by a process called natural selection. According to Darwin’s observations and inferences, natural selection arises from heritable variations (i.e size, shape, behavior, color) among population members, high fertility rate, differences…

Darwin’s theory of evolution is an idea that all living organisms are related and have a common ancestor. His broad theory speculates that progression of life from non-living and emphasizes an all in all realistic “descent with modification”. In other words, complicated creatures emerged from uncomplicated creatures consistently over time. This meaning stray genetic mutations happen in an organism’s genetic code. These mutations, which are useful, are retained as they help in survival, also…

of the context and complexity of human behavior and culture it is a must to have to many sub-fields. In recent studies, molecular anthropology has become a vital component of biological anthropology thus aiding in the concentration on human evolution, growth and development, and human adaptation. Additional fields include forensic anthropologist, which study the skeletal biology to assist in the identification and analysis of more recently deceased individuals. Primatologist study monkeys and…

scientifically grounded ideas we have about the way species evolve and change. Especially considering you developed these ideas without the understanding and knowledge of genetics and molecular biology. But still, you have managed to develop a set of laws explaining the evolution of species, which later became the backbone of biology. Impressive. You have made one of the most important contributions to the science of evolution; your concept of natural selection. Natural selection is the basis…

Natural selection is when stronger organisms adapt to their environment and have more children. First is variation- different, then selection when the most favourable survive and breed more. Inheritance when offspring get favourable traits. Time- Evolutionary change- few gen Speciation- thousands of years The likeness and the variation in comparative anatomy is different in the anatomy of species. A noteworthy issue in deciding evolutionary connections in view of near life structures…
