Threatened species

Biodiversity allows for a more stable ecosystem. With between 10 and 100 million different species on believed to be on Earth there is a great diversity of life forms here, but is it enough, and how long will it take before this number starts plummeting?3 We all are all aware of how terrible species extinction is, and are constantly being told how it is all a human caused problem. It is common for species to go extinct naturally, but at a low rate. The annual background extinction rate is…

Although later they begin to find out, like the previous article, that divergence between these two species was over 500,000 years ago through PCR-amplified mtDNA (Noonan, 2010: 548); language is still a possibility. The research on Neanderthal genome that was studied showed that there is a FOXP2 gene present in Neanderthals that is believed to be the key-defining gene for the evolution of language (Noonan, 2010: 551). However, from my perspective, if the variety in their genome diverged 500,000…

Natural Life Humans are only known to exist upon Earth. From the beginning of time, life has evolved upon our planet. The vast Oceans of our world were only known as one. The lands came to exist among this ocean, further dividing it until there were not one but seven Oceans. It is from these expanses of water that life came to be upon Earth. From the sea, they evolved and thrived upon land. Their lives are dependent upon surviving nature. Their abilities to live within nature upon Earth are…

The idea is to highlight the time when racial differences were generated among the species. Also the Adam and eve theory did not have the scientific basis of cells which Darwin added. The work of Desmond and Moore upholds Darwin’s “abhorrence of racial servitude and brutality, his hatred of the slavers... to make the black man another kind…

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 arguments…

There is no doubt that in todays society we strive to protect every individual from harm, forming/maintaing laws and keeping rights. When someone is arrested, even if they have committed a crime or serious offense, the authority’s duties is to protect the person under arrest and the society around them. To accomplish this, officers have a ser procedier enforing the indivudal of their rights; miranda rights. The authority tries it’s best so that every individual feels safe within their living…

Having this unique ability of communicating through a native language, separates humans from any other living thing. This skill is very beneficial to humans, so it makes you wonder why other species have not evolved this ability. We were created with the capability to employ speech for communication, plants do not have this ability. Have you ever watched The Lorax by Dr. Seuss? This a movie about how the Oncler cuts down trees to make thneeds…

Hebert Spencer established the hypothesis that the society is like a biological organism and that a social structure is a living organism, Coser (1977). The writer outlines Spencer’s theory as well as the writer’s understanding on development. The relevance of Spencer’ theory will be mentioned by comparison of the similarities and differences towards a general theory of evolution. 1. Hebert Spencer’s theory The biological Organism Employing the organismic analogy that is, comparing organic…

1. Natural location, which should include country and part of the world where they live. Wild ostriches live in the woodlands, dry, hot savannahs and of Africa. First they were spread out over whole Asia, Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, but because of hunters, who were really hunted down, the wild ostriches' range has been reduced, so only they are left in the sub-Saharan Africa. However, you can find ostriches all over the world, like in zoos for instance. 2. Natural environment (habitat) i…

how other species communicate. Text 1, “Communication Among Bacteria,” states, “Even bacteria can communicate… secrete distinctive organic molecules.” This is different from how humans do not release anything physical. The only…
