“The Biology of Facial Beauty”‚ an article from the International Journal of Cosmetic Science‚ states that it is common misconception that beauty is unsystematic. In fact‚ due to the contributions of biology‚ beauty is very predictable despite various factors‚ such as nationality‚ age‚ and race (317). This article is captivating and informative. Nevertheless‚ it could be improved by establishing a more clear-cut thesis and only selecting a few biological aspects of beauty to research and analyze

Once upon a time‚ God created a simulation video game based on evolution. It was a video game that gave the player (in this case God himself) many different ways on how to change the environment‚ along with other factors too. There were a type of species from the game’s selection of other species called Barbellus- which had an antennae and a fish tail. God decided to create a large number of these creatures that lived in the ocean of the video game. However‚ in this species’ early stages‚ both populations

our past‚ as well as assist in predicting our future. Evolutionary psychology (EP) will be the standard someday in our lifetimes. The reason is when we look at what we were it allows us to decode our past which‚ will help us correctly write our future. We may be decedents of animals but that does not mean that we have to constantly act as if we are uncivilized. I have always felt that my heart has been in biology‚ and as an evolutionary psychologist I understand that behavior is just an adaptation

Temperature range Background: All organisms are adapted to a particular environment with its characteristic temperature range. The temperature range allows the organism’s enzymes to control its metabolism by operating at their optimum efficiency within this range. Some organisms are adapted to live at high temperatures (80 - 100oC) and these are called thermophiles

Biology – The Science of Life Biology – derived from the words “bios”‚ which means life and “logos” which means study. It is therefore the study of life or living things. Major Divisions of Biology 1. Botany - study of plants - has a subcategory: •Phycology – study of seaweeds and algae 2. Zoology - study of animals - has eight subcategories: •Morphology – study of gross structures of organisms •Anatomy – study of the form and structure of organisms •Mammalogy – study of

Who can doubt that the baby who most readily rewards his mother with a smile is the one who is best loved and best cared for?” – Bowlby‚ 1957. John Bowlby was a psychoanalyst (like Freud) and believed that mental health and behavioral problems could be attributed to early childhood. Bowlby’s evolutionary theory of attachment suggests that children come into the world biologically

of Epigenetics in Homosexuality The article I chose to review came from The Quarterly Review of Biology‚ Volume 87‚ No.4‚ pages 343-368‚ and is entitled‚ “Homosexuality as a Consequence of Epigenetically Canalized Sexual Development”‚ by William R. Rice‚ Urban Friberg‚ and Sergey Gavrilets. The common occurrence of homosexuality is perplexing from an evolutionary perspective. From an evolutionary standpoint‚ homosexuality is a trait that would not be expected to develop and persist in the face
