Emiliano Maestas In the article “There is No Missing Link in Evolution” by Jolene Creighton speaks of evolution and the evidence that proves the theory of evolution based on artifacts, DNA evidence and more. In this article Creighton writes of several reasons of evolution and how it all connects to all the keys of evolution and proves that evolution. She also explains the only proven theory when it comes to humanity is evolution. How we were once prime mates and developed in to the beings we are…

Evolution is an issue that has been highly debated ever since the eighteen hundreds when the theory of evolution was proposed by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck and then elaborated upon by Charles Darwin in his book Darwin on the Origin of Species. Darwin used a variety of research to elaborate on the theory of Evolution and to provide evidence for the theory. Although some disagree, the theory is true, and there are many types of evidence to support the theory such as Fossils, Similar embryos, and…

as “the central unifying principle in biology.” While the idea of evolution had appeared before Darwin’s time (by others including Darwin’s grandfather, Erasmus Darwin) it is in November 1859 that Charles Darwin formally presents his idea in On the Origin of Species. What makes this work so important is not just the idea of evolution, but that Darwin provides the key mechanism, natural selection, for evolution. Through natural selection, species with some form of an advantageous adaptation will…

descended from a common ancestor. While the belief of evolution from animal to man was old and even proposed by ancient Greek philosophers, Darwin proposed a process by which this evolution occurred. Charles Darwin studied specimens and questioned the origin of species for many years. Darwin noticed competition between organisms - competition for food, mates, shelter, etc. and saw that some organisms would outcompete others due to the presence of a favourable trait which gives…

of the gene pool population by introducing new genes into it, which are then carried out by means of inter-ethnic marriages. The science of Eugenics was introduced by Francis Galton, who was a cousin of Darwin. In 1859 Charles Darwin published The Origins of Species. His theory of evolution and of Natural Selection focused on plants and animals. Galton found Darwin’s theory very interesting and introduced…

Natural selection was first proposed by Darwin. Natural selection and mutation are always taking place together. They are the basic process of evolution. Natural selection means those organisms that fit in theirs living environment will be survive. There are three kinds of mutations: positive, negative or neutral. Natural selection is always going to decide a mutation. Ether it is positive, negative or neutral. Here are three examples of positive mutation: Polar bear, peppered moth, and giraffe.…

It's been called the most important scientific book ever. A stunning claim, but certainly Charles Lyell's Principles of Geology, published in 1830, shook prevailing views of how Earth had been formed. Sir Charles Lyell, (November 14, 1797 – February 22, 1875) was the preeminent geologist of his time and distributer of the compelling work, Principles of Geology. Storing up an enormous measure of confirmation, both from his own field research and the work of others, Lyell promoted the idea that…

To understand the origin of whales, it's necessary to have a basic understanding of how natural selection works. Natural selection can change a species in small ways, causing a population to change color or size over the course of several generations. This is called "microevolution." But natural selection is also capable of much more. Given enough time and enough accumulated changes, natural selection can create entirely new species, known as "macroevolution." It can turn dinosaurs into birds,…

All forms of government serve some human interest and some human end and all forms of government should ask the question ‘What is best for human flourishing and how do I achieve that?’ However, as Hannah Arendt showcases in her writings “The Origins of Totalitarianism” the rise of a new and separate form of government later named totalitarianism served no interest in human essence or human end but rather sought to destroy humanity. As Toni Morrison’s novel “Beloved” shows characteristics about…

Chapter three starts off describing the modern evolutionary perspectives on human development. Piaget cognitive development theory was considered to be the “new look” during the 70’s (Shaffer, 2009). Since then new theories have emerged and even though some of those theories focus on the development of humans through biological or environmental repercussions all the theories support Piaget in two areas, and they are “developing persons are active rather than passive beings, and development…
