Climate Effects on Human Evolution This article explores the hypothesis that key human adaptations evolved in response to environmental instability. This idea was developed during research conducted by the Smithsonian’s Human Origins Program. Natural selection was not always a matter of ‘survival of the fittest’ but also survival of those most adaptable to changing surroundings. (Illustrations for this article coming soon.) Background Paleoanthropologists – scientists who

under the benefit of cheap energy we do nothing to shrink our carbon footprints. Many ignore the topic of Climate Change as they don’t believe in it‚ or simply don’t understand why they should bother. This is exactly what Michael Pollan trys to argue in his article‚ “Why Bother?”‚ published by The New York Times‚ He argues that every common man should do their part to slow the advancement of climate change. Pollan’s cites “crisis of lifestyle” and “specialization” as two reasons no real effort has been

Currently‚ our planet is going through a series of significant climate events that is potentially leaving an impact. Global warming has been at the center of creating destructive climate change. By increasing the amounts of greenhouse gases‚ humans are creating an environment with hotter temperatures‚ melting ice caps‚ and rising sea levels. To add on‚ scientists are now worried that humans are potentially destroying the oceans by creating an acidic environment in the water. The acidic environment

Al Gore is a politician and environmentalist that gave his speech “Climate Emergency” at Yale School of Forestry in 2004. He also presented it during the presidential campaign that same year. He argues that the Earth’s environment is in fact vulnerable‚ and that humans have a big impact on it. In his speech he uses scientific facts‚ statistics‚ maps‚ and graphs to demonstrate. Gore explains why he used the title “Climate Emergency”‚ “it is intended to convey what it conveys- that this is a crisis

I have always believed that climate change exists and I have seen proof of it. Speaking of proof‚ an example is a graph that NASA has created that explains the drastic increase of the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the past few years. As you can see from the graph‚ the graph sharply inclined upwards around the past century‚ passing the line shown in the graph. I have also witnessed glaciers melting away and Arctic and Antarctic animals hopelessly trying to cope with melting ice. However

Outline the relationship between climate and one or more biomes. Arctic tundra is a biome characterized by cold weather and low growing plants and shrubs and virtually no trees. They are found mainly in regions just below the Arctic ice caps‚ located at latitudes 55o to 70o North‚ across North America‚ Europe‚ Alaska‚ Canada and Siberia. They cover 20% of the earth’s surface. The summer season is short‚ where there are brief periods when the sun shines for almost 24 hours a day and temperatures
