In his book‚ Who’s In Charge? Free Will and the Science of the Brain‚ Michael Gazzaniga explores human identity through discussions of science and ideology. Concluding the book he discusses the social aspect of human evolution. Social competition and cooperation are two forces essential for human evolution and continuation as our race abandoned the nomadic lifestyle and began to settle into larger communities. In order to cooperate in large groups people need to understand each other and be able

What is the Red Queen Hypothesis (in your own words)? The Red Queen Hypothesis evolution is related to the coevolution of species. It states that species must constantly adapt and evolve to pass on genes to the next generation. Also to keep from going extinct when other species within a symbiotic relationship are evolving. List at least 2 ways the human species would benefit from having the ability to generate another human without the need for sex. Briefly explain each. Since this is 2 different

The natural world is seemingly perfect‚ a multitude of entities exist that allow complex life forms to survive‚ while permitting various species to live alongside each other. The environment allows for biodiversity to take place; this factor allows for many forms of life to exist in harmony‚ also allowing for genetic variations of various species to survive. Since humans have been introduced into the environment‚ we have desired to maintain control of our surroundings by forcing nature to work for

The analogy for running is coevolutionary change. Coevolution can be escalatory: In the Red Queen mode of coevolution‚ natural selection continually operates on each species to keep up with improvements made by competing species; each species environment deteriorates as its competitors evolve new adaptations. Evolution is said to be

Chapter 5 Biodiversity‚ Species Interactions‚ and Population Control Summary 1. Two major factors affect the number of species in a community: the latitude in terrestrial communities and salinity/nutrients in aquatic systems. 2. Species play different roles in a community. Native species sustain the ecosystem in which they are a part. Some nonnative species will crowd out native species. Indicator species alert us to harmful changes in the community. Keystone species play ecological
