Humans have developed in many capacities that have led to our advantages and technology today. We have developed from over 3 million years ago with brain and body developments. There are six key essential concepts that have helped our species grow, including fire, language, cooking, shelter, clothing, and art. Each of these concepts is connected…

John Wyndhams book title is slightly ambiguous due to the fact that he invented the word for his book, but it originates from the word chrysalis, a stage in the butterfly life cycle. The Chrysalids is a book about the aftermath of a nuclear war, and the struggle of people who are different. The novel…

Abstract The fossil record supplies research with evidence of human origins, offering a crucial insight into the study of palaeoanthropology. This discipline has critically developed our understanding of human origins; however, the fossil record is sporadic and incomplete, often precluding a full assessment to the potential morphological scope of past populations. Over the past couple…

Evolution: the age-old journey that has shaped life on our planet into the vibrant mosaic we see today. Evolution has woven a mesmerizing tapestry of diversity, from ancient microbes to towering redwoods. But beyond its aesthetic charm lies a world of implications that stretch far and wide. In this exploration, we delve into the captivating…

The theory of evolution by natural selection was first formulated in Darwin’s book ‘On the Origin of Species’ in 1859. This is the process that changes a species over time due to changes in heritable physical or behavioral traits. These changes allow an organism to better adapt to its environment which helps it survive and…

Our current theory of evolution in basic terms is that all living things come from a common ancestor and that natural selection caused the adaptions that created all the different species on our planet. This is a huge claim- that everything on Earth is somehow connected. But, what evidence is there to support it? Fossils…

Introduction (200 words) Natural selection, a key concept in evolutionary biology, profoundly shapes the diversity of life. This principle, first elucidated by Charles Darwin, explains how species evolve and adapt through generations. It is the process by which traits that enhance survival and reproduction become more prevalent within a population, leading to the gradual evolution…

Specific interpretations in Darwins theories of evolution pose challenges to modes of proceeding within feminist critique. Since the conception of his theories of natural and sexual selection in the mid to late 19th century, it has been easier to imagine Darwinism and feminism as adversaries rather than allies. Women authors in the 19th and early…

Evolution is the development of life on earth. This process began billions of years ago and is continuing to this day. Evolution tells us how the enormous diversity of life could develop. It refers to any change in the distribution of alleles within a population over time. In the early 19th century Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (17441829)…

An aspect of biology that interests me is the evolution of humans over many hundreds of years. Human evolution began six million years ago in Africa. This has been proven countless times by evidence such as fossils of human remains which can be dated back to many million years ago. Our first ever relative was…
