Adaptive Problems as the Root Cause of Aggression In the article “Human Aggression and in Evolutionary Psychological Perspective‚” David M. Buss and Todd K. Shackelford explain the root cause of aggression. Today‚ many people believe that aggression is caused by social learning. At a young age people are introduced to violent television shows‚ video games‚ movies‚ etc. Some would say that because of these violent video games and television shows‚ aggression is learned at a young age and therefore

Experiments investigating the effect of a particular factor on an enzyme-catalysed reaction are commonly used as assessed practicals in Biology. The reason for this is there are a number of factors that can be investigated‚ and therefore‚ a number of factors that can also be controlled. From our lecture‚ we are aware that the following can affect the rate of reaction: 1) Temperature: a. Independent variable: A range of temperatures should be investigated‚ with particular attention

1859 was an important year for science‚ especially in the science of Biology. That year Charles Darwin displayed an evolutionary theory and explained it through ‘natural selection’. Natural selection simply means that there are variations among species that have different traits‚ and those traits differ by their fit to certain environmental conditions. Furthermore‚ some species with traits better suited to the certain environment are likely to survive‚ whereas‚ those species with traits that are

relationship between ecology and evolutionary biology. Darwin’s extensive observations (ecological studies) of the distribution of organisms and their adaptations to specific environments led him to propose that environmental factors interacting with variation within populations could cause evolutionary change. We now know that events that occur in the framework of ecological time (minutes‚ months‚ years) translate into effects over the longer scale of evolutionary time (decades‚ centuries‚ millenia
