A. Evolution and Behavior 1. Study microevolution by viewing domestication and natural selection in the wild. 2. Domestic dogs attack prey differently than their ancestral wolves do due to behavioral selection 3. In domesticating foxes‚ you are selecting for neotenous traits and a suppressed adrenal gland that made the foxes less aggressive 4. Natural disasters or major ecological changes are good examples of looking at microevolution 5. When studying behavior

“Radical Evolution” In Joel Garreau’s book “Radical Evolution: The Promise and Peril of Enhancing Our Minds‚ Our Bodies- and What It Means to Be Human” Garreau discusses the concept “singularity” along with views from Vernon Vinge‚ Ray Kurzweil and others. Singularity is this drastic change that will take place during a period of accelerating change in particular with technology. “The Curve implies one of the all-time changes in the rules. Those who study it call it “The Singularity”. (p.67)

Color in film went through a self-contained evolution much like sound. Many films of the silent era‚ for instance‚ used processes such as tinting and toning to give an overall color to the frame (Thomspon & Bordwell 34). Thompson and Bordwell comment on the process that “color could provide information about the narrative situation and hence make the story clearer to the spectator” (34)‚ much like the use of photogénie and mise-en-scene by the Impressionists and Expressionists. Other films‚ such

Evolutionary Concepts Defining Speciation: BSC and Recognition concept Species are produced by individual speciation events‚ so a single species concept can’t be defining all species. Hugh Paterson’s ideas are significant in understanding evolution. Paterson argues that speciation is not an adaptive process‚ but is a result of the adaptation of intricate bonding mechanisms to a new environment (Paterson). The conceptual basis of his research is the Recognition Concept of Species. He argues that

E-commerce‚ in the popular sense‚ can be defined as: the use of the Internet and the Web to conduct business transactions. A more technical definition would be: e-commerce involves digitally enabled commercial transactions between and among organizations and individuals. Ecommerce differs from e-business in that no commercial transaction‚ an exchange of value across organizational or individual boundaries‚ takes place in e-business. E-business is the digital enablement of transactions and

mammalian evolution towards colonization of land‚ however in some instances this trend has been reversed; there are three large orders of mammals that have separately re-adapted to marine life‚ the Cetacea (whales‚ dolphins and porpoises)‚ the Pinnipedia (seals‚ sea lions and walruses)‚ and the Sirenia (dugongs‚ sea cows and manatees). This “re-adaptation” is most extreme in the cetaceans which have evolved a totally fish-like form‚ masking their true mammalian ancestry (Coffey‚ 1977). The evolution of

Human Evolution and the Fossil Record Scientists continue to debate the history of man. It is generally agreed upon by the scientific community‚ however‚ that humans evolved from lesser beings‚ and this essay will function to provide evidence to support this claim. Several points will be outlined‚ including the general physical changes that occurred between several key species on the phylogeny of man‚ and a discussion of dating methods used to pinpoint the age of the fossils. This essay will

2014 Human Evolution The Evolutionary History of Life on earth traces the process by which living and fossil organisms have evolved since life on the planet first originated until the present day. According to research earth formed about 4.5 Ga (billion years) ago and life appeared on its surface within 1 billion years. The similarities between all present day organizes indicate the presence of a common ancestor from which all known species have diverged through the process of evolution. Every
