Aristotle’s overview of the soul is that every living natural body that has life providing self-nourishment, growth and decay has a soul. The living natural body refers to a substance that is potential for life such as a human being, animals, and plants. The soul then is the actuality providing knowledge to the natural body. In a human, animal or plant it is the soul what provides the bodies reasoning, direction, perception, desire, locomotion and comprehension. According to Aristotle the body…

The King Island Emu is now extinct. They were a subspecies of the Emu of today. Before they became extinct, they were only found on King Island. You will find King Island, located between the mainland of Australasia and Tasmania. The King Island Emu was a close relative of the Tasmanian Emu, which many also are extinct. The King Island Emu was very small, and its size may have been the result of insular dwarfison. The King Island Emu's body was black and brown, and their neck had bare blue skin…

In the book of Ishmael by Daniel Quinn, we discover that humans feel as though they were created to conquer and rule the world and every species in it. However, God never meant for man to travel aimlessly throughout earth on their own accordance. By his refusal to give us all the knowledge and wisdom that would be needed to govern the earth, he made it necessary for us to seek him for guidance in order to fulfill his desire. As we continue to possess an attitude of superiority, our way of life…

ZO3017-Gerhand Schlosser Student Name: Claudia Speight Student Id: 13402132 The role of Modularity is important in evolutionary development The role of modularity is important in the developmental repatterning in evolutionary development. Organisms are composed of modules which are units of elements. Developmental modules serve as building blocks for evolution. They can been seen in heterotopy, heterochrony, heterometry, loss of modules and redeployment of modules. Here we will see…

different species. Interspecific competition results from many species with similar niches and limited resources available. A niche is defined as an area that a species inhabits, the role or function of the species in the ecosystem and the species relationship with all is biotic and abiotic factors affecting it (Biology online dictionary, 2015).The limiting resources could be resources such as mates’ nutrients and space (M. Beals, L. Gross, S. Harrell, 1999). Competition exists between species…

Xenotransplantation is the process of transplanting or grafting organs and tissue between different species. As you’re transplanting a foreign organ not from the same species as you, this has many social and biological implications. Including the fact that there’s could be new viruses and pathogens passed over between species with the potential to cause a mass epidemic and kill of many members of a species. Also this procedure although been around for a long time it hasn’t had a very high…

other rocks, meaning by using one rock or fossils scientists can then determine about what age a rock is that is close to the age of the rock they already know. The rocks scientist use to compare to other rocks are index fossils. Index fossils are species that that lived for a brief amount of time and are abundant. Scientists also use the Law of Superposition, which states the youngest layers are on the top while the oldest layers are on the bottom. Scientist use this law to determine the…

Each trust is like a step you must take to protect the animal kingdom. Through these trusts, a human’s cruelty can be transformed into compassion for all living beings. The authors want us to respect the interconnection through all living species. Every day humans harm the natural world more, without realizing the damage they are causing. The purpose of The Ten Trusts is to change your perspective on how we live on this planet. The authors want you to follow these trusts so the natural world…

extraordinary feature that makes humans different from many species, including our closest cousins, the chimpanzee. When bipedalism came to be remained a mystery that prevented archaeologists, like me to fully understand evolution. Many believed that this trait evolved much later in terms of the timeline of human evolution, but this evidence contradicts this popular theory. Bipedalism is a trait that evolved and nearly perfected…
