Keith Stanovich’s The Robot’s Rebellion delves deep into the world of evolutionary psychology, stating how modern society is stuck in a technologically run programme of sorts where we are all but robots stuck in a world revolved around our most primal cognitive abilities. In the introductory pages of this novel, Stanovich draws our attention to four notable theorists, among them, philosopher Daniel Dennett who refers to the implications that modern evolutionary theory will have on the…

microorganisms in agriculture and food (Xu, 2010). Further, population evolution is a vital factor in devising important strategies for the protection, conservation and even maintenance of enhanced utilization of useful microbes. If this does not happen, populations would barely attain their biotic potential as there would be significant limiting factors. Also, population genetics provides the basis for tracking the evolution and origin of antibiotic resistance and that of infectious deadly…

Emergence of the idea of Evolution The Webster’s dictionary definition of evolution is stated as the historical development of a biological group. Due to advancements in scientific thinking and ideas from different ancient cultures such as the Arabs, Indians, and Chinese, notions of biological evolution were able to be cultivated long before prominent naturalist, Charles Darwin was even born. Precursors to the development of the theory of evolution were largely important for naturalists to…

revolutionary he was during the 19th century. With no comprehension of advanced genetics, Darwin figured out how to concoct the thought of acquired characteristics and the transformation of these attributes after some time. Charles Darwin theory of evolution was one of the most significant topics to change and impact the world of science, unfortunately, it didn’t come without ramifications. In 1831, Charles Darwin set sails for a five year voyage, which he would spend all of this time studying…

Harmonizing with his “no miracles” principle, Darwin firmly asserts that the evolution of any species develops from a gradual process, which will outlast the lifetime of humans capable of its observation. When tracing a species’ self-improvement “we ought to look exclusively to its lineal ancestors… in order to see what gradations are possible” (Darwin 183). In fact, Darwin uses morally loaded language to first argue that the evolution of an animal’s eye, “with all its inmitable contrivances”…

By gaining an understanding and examining evidence associated with each of these three theories it becomes clear that the most logical and truthful of the three is the theory of Chemical Evolution. Before delving directly into the first theory, one must understand Darwin’s theory of natural selection because it is a theory that the majority of scientists take to be true. The scientific community agrees on natural selection because the evidence…

As it is unknown to how the tardigrade was able to evolve to that extent, a plausible answer is contingency, a theory that evolution sometimes occurs by chance. Lastly, the tardigrade parallels the idea of the “Posthuman” as its ability to survive is far greater than the human’s ability to survive, making the tardigrade a model for the advancement of human physical evolution. Just because humans cannot communicate…

the evolution theory. Dupré claims that the evolution theory is too simplistic; thus this theory is restricted in terms of applicability, and alone is not sufficient in explaining human behaviours (2002). I conclude by arguing that although it may be true that humans behaviours are complex, I do not think that the evolution theory is as weak as Dupré portrays it to be. Most changes in behaviour can be explained by evolution partly…

Creationism and Evolution one is allowed to be taught in our school the other is banned in all facets of its matter. Evolution is a science subject that teaches our kids a species can develop from a single cell organism. This is an inveigle way of teaching without having proper evidence of this theory, so we are teaching our kids something that is no more than a fairy tale. We don 't teach about God or creationism in public schools because we lack physical evidence of his existence and we don…

shocked to find out that the class taught evolution as a major part of the curriculum. Instead of teaching about musical notations, types of music, and what makes for good music, she was taught about evolution. It is simply an unquestioned truth that people often cannot even see and has invaded almost every area of our thinking. It has even invaded theology. Many people today see theistic evolution as the only viable option in light of the "fact" of evolution. It appears to me that the "puppet…
