He questions that if animals such as primates can demonstrate moral behaviors such as‚ reciprocation and empathy‚ then it is possible morality has a scientific explanation rather than a spiritual one that many religious individuals have said govern our decision making from deciding right from wrong.

Natural selection forms the foundation of how we understand the ways that species have formed over time. Another form of selection is sexual selection‚ which is the selection of traits based on their roles in courting and mating. It involves attracting a mate with the greatest fitness while simultaneously portraying oneself as the best mate for selection. Fitness‚ described in natural selection‚ is the ability to reproduce and leave successful offspring that will continue the cycle. Sexual selection

"Humans are Old World primates" Humans however have striking similarities as well as differences from that of the chimp or gorilla. For instance vision human vision is the same as any other diurnal primate meaning we clearly see the same as monkeys and apes. Our sense of smell is the same as that of the anthropoid primate or ape. Similarly our behavior patterns are closely resembled of most old world apes‚ humans live in

The objective of our experiment was to determine the effect of temperature on the rate of movement of Porcellio scaber. Our prediction was that P. scaber would have faster rates of movement in hotter temperatures. We expected this response as P. scaber is an ectotherm. Hence‚ its body temperature is directly determined by the temperature of its environment (Mellanby 1939). Løkke and van Gestel (1998) stated that the rate of the metabolism is controlled by the environmental temperature for ectotherms

that were once categorized as being monogamous have been observed behaving in non-monogamous ways. This is especially true for primates that have been studied‚ but the reasoning is interesting. Social monogamy is considered to be very rare among mammals‚ but the behavior has been seen slightly more often in primates (Tecot et al‚ 2016). This is interesting because primates are classified as mammals. If this social behavior happens to be so rare in

Bipedalism & Human Birth: The Obstetric Dilemma Over hundreds of thousands of years‚ the human body has evolved in many different ways to help us adapt to our ever changing environment. The obstetric dilemma refers to changes in the female pelvic region as a result of our evolution towards bipedalism‚ and the resulting difficulties in childbirth. When assessing gestation periods‚ premature births and maternal & infant health‚ the question comes up as to why the human body has evolved in
