Theistic evolution

their evolution. When looking at fossils, they try to see how much variation is needed to name it a new species or not. There are different fossils that are currently being argued about, where it is questioned if the fossil should be classified as a different species or a new one. One of those fossils that is currently being debated on is the Homo Floresiensis, known as “The Hobbit” to paleoanthropologists. It is argued whether Homo Floresiensis is a species, or if is a ruminant of evolution.…

the exhibits. Their exhibits include, but are not limited to, Days of Creation: Heaven & Earth, Day of Creation: Astronomy, Days of Creation: Living Creatures & Garden, Ice Age, Human Anatomy, and my personal favorite Hall of Scholars Creation / Evolution debate since Darwin. In the Hall of Scholars they eloquently blame Darwin for the…

Evolution can be defined by descent with modification from a common ancestor. This means that all organisms that inhabit Earth share a common ancestor, this includes you, me, tomato, tiger, etc.…That common ancestor produced descendants, and those descendants produced their own descendants and modification takes place for each generation of descendant eventually leading to the wide variety of Earth’s lifeforms we have today. Common descent with modification occurs due to mechanisms of…

YR 10 Science Evolutionary Theory Alicia Horsfield Evolution can be defined as a gradual process in which a species changes into a different and more complex form. This happens over several generations. Evolution also proves that all species are related through genetic variation. (yourgenome.org, n.e). Charles Darwin (1809-1882) was an English Naturalist, famous for creating the theory of ‘evolution’. He also created a theory that species survive through a process called “natural selection”.…

Evolution When talking about evolution, people generally think of Charles Darwin as the originator or “father” of evolution. Even though Darwin may have opened the door for evolution and proved his hypothesis to be correct through his experiments, he had been influenced by many scientists before him. Although Darwin’s theory of natural selection is considered legitimate, there are many other theories to be equitable as well, much like the inheritance of acquired characteristics. Charles Darwin’s…

This period emphasized the self, creativity, imagination and the value of art. It was a movement that strongly emphasized emotion. It also legitimized ‘individual imagination' as a major authority. Which in turn gave rise to ‘free expression' in art. With such an emphasis on feelings and imagination many thinkers of this period introduced philosophies and theologies of their own on this topic. Richard Kearney in The Wake of the Imagination, explores the various concepts of imagining from the…

If a positive correlation is found between aggressive behaviour in adopted children and aggressive behaviour in their biological parents, a genetic effect is implied. However, if a positive correlation is found between the adoptee’s aggressive behaviour and the rearing family, then an environmental effect is implied. Although, research by Hutchings and Medinick suggests that environmental factors do not play a role in aggressive behaviour, as they found when looking at 14,000 adoptions in…

Into the Jungle: Great Adventures in the Search for Evolution is a novel by Sean B. Carroll built around nine different stories of scientific discoveries and how they all contributed to our current knowledge of the evolution of species. As one can infer from the title, the main biological concept dealt with is evolution. To explain and provide support for the theory, Carroll discussed two more concepts: natural selection and genetic mutations. Every one of the nine stories included in the book…

incest. As for human populations however, social rules and the placement of the taboo on the behavior are stronger factors (including punishments that are created to avoid incest). The paper investigates several theories that attempt to explain the evolution of incest avoidance and concludes that punishing violators of the taboo is costly however, the punishments aid to prevent sibling matings which a greater benefit; also, there is more evidence behind evolutionary hypothesises to avoid incest.…
