and why they came to be. Upon further discoveries throughout time from modern humans‚ the majority of scientists would agree that man evolved from a common ancestor in the span of thousands of years. In recent human history some people would suggest that humans have stopped evolving due to advancements in technology and medicine. Even though humans have certainly gained more knowledge‚ there are still forces of evolution that cannot be stopped. These forces include; genetic drift‚ gene flow‚ and natural

His research brought about new ideas of origin‚ from animal to human‚ and has opened the path of research for new forms of life. His great works of literature have conveyed a strange‚ but fascinating‚ new light on the world. When animals enter into or are forced to a new environment‚ or run out of a certain resources

From an average of 20 cm of rainfall I would expect more hard seeds to be produced. 2. a. The beak size of 12 mm is relatively shallow compared to the available range from 10 mm to 30 mm. b. The shallow beak size of 12 mm is not suited for the hard seeds that are available because of the low rainfall of 20 cm.

Evolution Lab BIO/101 Pooja Thakur 7-23-12 Evolution Resulting From Natural Selection INTRODUCTION The Evolution Lab simulates environmental situations to determine effects on evolution over periods of time. This lab experiments with the evolution of finches on two different islands over 100‚ 200‚ and 300 years. By manipulating parameters that influence natural selection‚ the effects that natural selection have on the evolution process can be studied. HYPOTHESES • The size

according to new research. Tree-dwelling Gastrotheca guentheri are the only frogs with teeth on both their upper and lower jaw. The reappearance of these lower teeth after such a long time fuels debate about whether complex traits are lost in evolution or if they can resurface. Scientists suggest this new evidence identifies a "loophole" in previous theories. The Gastrotheca genus of frogs carry eggs on their backs Commonly known as "marsupial frogs"‚ the Gastrotheca genus carry their eggs

Divergent Evolution Once upon a time there was a nuclear war that killed over 5billion people on earth. However because of the war the human race went through Divergent evolution ‚ which is when two or more species live in different habitats but come from the same ancestral group. Therefore the human race was split into to very different species. The first species was selected for a mutation that allowed them to grow an immunity to the nuclear radiation and are to be referred to as mutants
