Theistic evolution

Bipedalism and upright posture are considered some of the most important characteristics that separate humans from other species. The article, “Kinship in a Footprint?” by Michael Day, delves into the significance of bipedalism in hominin evolution and the different ways in which bipedalism is studied. He writes that bipedalism and upright posture are behavioral responses in relation to the environment for primate species. It is useful in increasing visual surveillance, displaying threats,…

‘Has Science Buried God’ because compared to John Lennox, Dawkins’ answers were based on things or theories that had already been proven, the morality of God, and the reason the mind appreciates the idea of a God. Dawkins leaned on the theory of evolution and explained why God didn’t have anything to do with natural selection. Dawkins also used the morality of God in the debate to prove the point that even if there was a God, he was very ‘petty’ and wouldn’t fit the description of a ‘good…

Bonobos are smart and well-rounded animals because they are omnivores, however, their diet consists of mostly fruits. During the off seasons of these staple resources, they must rely on fallback food when their preferred foods are unavailable. Extremely social animals, Bonobos search for their food by using a unique form of communication to locate and inform their group members of the food source. A bonobo’s diet consists of mainly fruits, but despite this preference, they have a highly diverse…

Joseline Jacamo To the Bitter End: A Case Examining the Genetics of PTC Sensitivity First part : Questions 1. What L.H Snyder is inferred by using “Mendelian marker” is to convey that all Mendelian traits which is inherited from the parent and pass down to its offspring can be utilized as a maker. 2. Some question that Dr. Snyder could ask is “How would you know if PTC is an inherited trait?. In addition, “How are you going to test if PTC is an inherited trait or not?. Also, if “PTC tasting is…

In the words of Richard Dawkins, “Evolution is almost universally accepted by those who understand it, almost universally rejected by those who don’t”. For many generations, people have questioned the origin of the human species and how we came about. Until the 19th century, people had no scientific clue as to how humans came to be the walking, talking, intelligent species we are today. With the introduction of evolutionary theory by Charles Darwin, we finally have an idea of how we evolved over…

The Effects of Limiting Factors on Seahorse Population There are over 50 different species of seahorses, yet they all have very similar characteristics. They all have the same relative shape, size, food source, and habitat. However, there are certain limiting factors with which each unique population must deal. Limiting factors affect the population size and density of seahorses, but also keeps them in check. Seahorses are small animals that live in the tropical or temperate coastal waters of…

This piece of of marvelous reality nature documentary is my favorite among the three. From the astounding visual to the message conveyed, ‘March of the Penguins’ worths chewing the cud. The story plot begins with two adventurous men, Laurent Chalet and Jerome Maison. Spending a whole year in Antarctica, they depict the lifecycle of the Emperor Penguins. Being the largest in size of any other species of penguin, Emperor Penguins are able to stand almost fifty inches tall.…

influence on later 19th century poetry and also on 20th century modernist thought. In my presentation, I will outline in brief Bergson’s key philosophical thoughts and how they influenced modernist literature. Bergson maintained that in animals, evolution caused a division between the instinct and the intellect. Although the two are not exclusive of each other, the faculty of intellect is developed more in man while instinct is seen at its best in ants and bees. Intellect is that which reflects…

1.0 HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF ENGINEERING Science and Engineering can be a regarded as an inseparable concept to which modern engineering depends. Engineering was first practiced from man’s mental capacity that fashioned him into recognizing tools and natural resources around him and developing on that for his own benefit. Take for example “the prehistoric man” where discoveries were made of tools used, knowledge of fire depicted by drawings in caves, all without the understanding of science…

species lends greatly to this complex relationship. (Boucher D.H. 1985) To truly understand this interaction between ants and plants, it is important to look at why, how and where the relationship is present in our world today. Evolution of this mutualism comes down to the evolution of angiosperm plants. Angiosperms are essentially…
