Theory of Evolution One of the greatest questions of all time is: "Where did we all come from?" One of the most popular answers to this question is creationism‚ the idea that everything was created by a higher being. Another popular idea is evolution‚ the idea that all living organisms descended from a less complex organism. Evolution possesses a new way of thinking that is being greatly accepted by the scientific community‚ but not by pious groups of people. Creation and evolution are diametrically

Journal 2 I have always been interested in evolution‚ probably due to my innate inability to accept what people say on “face value”. I believe (as I have taught my children) to question anything and everything which would explain my passion and interest in the evolution of psychology. Evolutionary psychologists use various methods to study how evolution affects psychology. Deductive and comparative methods are the two most commonly used methods because they allow psychologists to study something

The theory of evolution‚ formalized by Charles Darwin‚ is as much theory as is the theory of gravity‚ or the theory of relativity. Unlike theories of physics‚ biological theories‚ and especially evolution‚ have been argued long and hard in socio-political arenas. Even today‚ evolution is not often taught in primary schools. However‚ evolution is the binding force of all biological research. It is the unifying theme. In paleontology‚ evolution gives workers a powerful way to organize the remains of

Evolution of Polar Bears The observed fossil transitions that inform our knowledge of Polar Bear speciation are very well documented. Bear fossils change through time: generally‚ when examining the fossil record‚ successively deeper levels of sediments or sedimentary rocks yield successively older fossils. For some transitions from one species to another‚ one can find a well-characterized series of transitional specimens leading the observer across the species "boundaries" (Kurten‚ 1976). Sometime

At this early stage of his life‚ along with graduating college Darwin soon began collecting evidence for his theory of Evolution and natural selection. While on his journey Darwin made many observations. They were mainly about the different species he saw on the Galapagos Islands. Each island had a different variation of birds. He noticed that the beak sizes of the

USA whether or not Evolution should be taught in public school classrooms due to the controversy over evolution and creationism. In the early 2000’s a parent in Dover Pennsylvania went to the district school board with complaints that his child was being taught lessons in science that contradicted his religious beliefs; the subject being evolution. Joshua Rowand was taught by his family and church that the world was created through creationism and felt that the theory of Evolution did not support his
