    Journal 2 I have always been interested in evolution‚ probably due to my innate inability to accept what people say on “face value”.

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

    Evolution in biology is a genetic change in a line of descent over time. The evolution of life on Earth has resulted in many hundreds of thousands of species. Genetic evidence reveals that humans share a common ancestor with life forms as different from us as bacteria and corn plants. In early 1800s‚ the source of Earth’s remarkable diversity of life forms was hotly disputed. Many people believed that all species had come into existence at the same time in the distant past. In 1831 Charles Darwin

    A system for controlling whole populations is very bad. Although the two books Divergent and The Giver are very different‚ they also have a few similarities‚ which I will point out.
