has a specific history‚ and started in a time where being “colored skin” is considered abnormal. While being white was the norm‚ at that time biology was important and science was influencing the population. Indeed‚ there were‚ are and will be physical differences between people. Yet‚ what is significant about these when it comes to race is not the biology of those differences‚ but the social weight we attach to them. Therefore‚ the race still exists not because it is biological or normal‚ but because

Marine Biology is the scientific study of organisms that are dependent on water. Marine Biology is an interesting topic to many people because of the exotic animals you get to work with. A career in Marine Biology can be dangerous because of the wild animals‚ but at the same time it can be fun. It takes time‚ training‚ and intelligence to succeed in the career. In order to make it in this Biology field you must complete a college work in oceanography‚ marine biology‚ or conservation. You will

In this chapter‚ you will learn about the neural system of human‚ mechanisms of neural coordination like transmission of nerve impulse‚ impulse conduction across a synapse and the physiology of reflex action. 316 BIOLOGY 21.1 NEURAL SYSTEM The neural system of all animals is composed of highly specialised cells called neurons which can detect‚ receive and transmit different kinds of stimuli. The neural organisation is very simple in lower invertebrates. For

In biology and ecology‚ extinction is the end of an organism or of a group of organisms (taxon)‚ normally a species. The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of the species‚ although the capacity to breed and recover may have been lost before this point. Because a species’ potential range may be very large‚ determining this moment is difficult‚ and is usually done retrospectively. This difficulty leads to phenomena such as Lazarus taxa‚ where a species

The term biology is derived from the Greek word βίος‚ bios‚ "life" and the suffix -λογία‚ -logia‚ "study of."[4] The Latin form of the term first appeared in 1736 when Linnaeus (Carl von Linné) used biologi in his Bibliotheca botanica. It was used again in 1766 in a work entitled Philosophiae naturalis sive physicae: tomus III‚ continens geologian‚ biologian‚ phytologian generalis‚ by Michael Christoph Hanov‚ a disciple of Christian Wolff. The first German use‚ Biologie‚ was used in a 1771 translation
