Natural World

Human Nature” is an article written to oppose human nature. Specifically, it challenges human evolution as the cause of universality/commonality of human traits. The case made in the article utilizes the logic behind Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection: evolutionary changes come via the generation of variation in each generation and differential survival of individuals with different combinations of these varying traits. The central thesis of “On Human Nature” is that any common…

environment. Being eco-literate according to Orr, (2004) is someone being able to comprehend the dynamics of the world, has a broad understanding of how individuals and societies work together and how individuals and corporations might work on sustainability.

Furthermore, DEEWR, 2009 also establishes a practice that needs to…

Throughout his life time, Charles Darwin was able to distinct himself from his peers as a scientific elite. The epitome of his work is demonstrated in his book on natural selection, allowing for a considerable advancement in the Theory of Evolution, as well as marking his name in history. His story begins in Shrewsbury England, February 12th 1809. The fifth son of a wealthy doctor Robert Darwin, and raised in an Anglican home, Charles had every advantage available to him.

Overview How humans interact with the natural environment is becoming one of the most pervasive issues of the modern world. The effects that human development has had on the natural environment, are only recently beginning to be realised, and has led some scholars to call for the current geological epoch to be termed the “Anthropocene”, due to the great effect human populations have had on the natural environment (Steffen et al. 2011: 843). There has also been a rise in environmentalist…

The theory of evolution is a controversial subject for some. People who resent the theory of evolution think, “the world was covered in water and there was [nothing] but worms and blobs of jelly” (Inherit the Wind). However, to clear things up, the world was nothing like this. Several indisputable, famous studies and experiments have supported the theory of evolution. Bacterial antibiotic evolution is the growing resistance to antibiotics through mutations in bacteria’s DNA. Vestigial organs…

The spill has impacted on the ocean’s ecosystem and was a controversial issue due to the way BP tried to resolve the catastrophic event. Environmental ethics discuss the relationship of the boundaries and principles between the human world and the non-human world. Environmental ethics differentiate from animal ethics as the animals that live in the raw environment…

Think about what the world of science would be like today without Charles Darwin’s Theory. Darwin was known to be the father of evolutionary biology. Charles Darwin once said, “When I view all begins not as special creations, but as the lineal descendants of some few beings which lived long before the first bed of the Cambrian system was deposited, they seem to me to become ennobled.” Charles Darwin’s original Theory of Evolution has evolved itself with a modern understanding of his theories,…
