Biological Psychology Biological Psychology The brain is a complex organ that is composed of many even more complex systems. Several theorists and psychologists focus on these systems and the functions of the brain. Scientists are also among those who take an interest in the functions of the brain. Each group digs deeper into researching biological psychology because they are learning more about the history of the field‚ the theorists that have contributed to the understanding‚ and relationships

Evolutionary psychology is an approach that explains psychological traits such as perception‚ memory‚ and language as adaptations. This approach is focused on how evolution has shaped mind and behavior. Michael Ghiselin coined the term evolutionary psychology‚ making him a key theorist. Other key theorists include Jerome Barkow‚ Leda Cosminde‚ and John Tooby. These three popularized the concept of evolutionary psychology with their book “The Adapted Mind: Evolutionary Psychology and the Generation

Genetic Drift as an Evolutionary Force Becky Gonzalez Genetics 2450 Lab Section 1262 March 2‚ 2011 Genetic Drift as an Evolutionary Force Genetic drift‚ along with natural selection‚ mutation‚ and gene flow‚ is one of the basic evolutionary forces of evolution. Evolution is the method by which allele frequencies in a population change over time. This process can be random‚ where the changes occur through genetic drift (Hahn and Bentley 2003)

2. Biological Classification Classification The process of grouping living organisms into convenient categories based on simple characters is known as classification. 1. Two kingdom classification Carolus Linnaeus divided all living things into two kingdoms- Plantae and Animalia. 2. Five kingdom classification R.H. Whittaker divided all living things into five kingdoms- Monera‚ Protista‚ Fungi‚ Plantae‚ and Animalia. The main criteria for classification included o cell structure o thallus

(Krilowicz and Henter‚ 1997). Chronobiology is the study of biological rhythms. While there maybe be some factors that affect biological rhythms (Cermakian and Boivin‚ 2009)‚ this paper will emphasize normal biological rhythms. The importance of chronobiology is that it shows us how animals and humans regulate their bodies. We had to conduct an experiment that would let us see how our bodies are regulated. The experiment tests the biological rhythms of human beings to see when a person would reach the
