Science has made amazing achievements. Things that seem unrealistic become reality. However it is not hard to imagine how advances in technology such as cloning could lead to a dehumanized society if pushed too far. The Island‚ directed by Michael Bay‚ is a movie that imagines a future society where the ethical boundaries of science have been breached.

Divergent Evolution Evolution is the theory of organisms changing over time. The first two people to explore this theory were Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace. There are four types of evolution‚ those being adaptive‚ convergent‚ divergent‚ and co-evolution. Divergent evolution is when two or more animals originate from a common genetic base. To prove divergent evolution in animals‚ the Ursus Maritimus or polar bear is an example. Divergent evolution is when similar animals branch off

Small Island is structured around four competing narratives each claiming historical truth and experience through shifts in setting and time. Levy’s historical novel is told through a series of extended analepsis that move back and forth between 1924 and 1948 as well as across national borders and cultures.

In relation to the asylum‚ abjection further emerges in the nature of mental illness. Referring to Scorsese’s Shutter Island (2010)‚ I correlate abjection with the loss of identity that the film’s protagonist experiences‚ considering how abjection visually manifests in the physical spaces of the asylum‚ and propels the narrative trajectory forward.

humanoids. Thanks to these finds‚ we now know how we looked millions of years ago and how we gradually developed to the modern human‚ the Homo Sapiens. These finds support the theory of evolution‚ because this is exactly what it states. Another good example of how the fossil record helps us understand evolution is the evolution of the horse (see appendix I). Due to the large amount of findings‚ we have an almost complete model of how the horse evolved. (se Even in our own bodies we find evidence of our primitive
