researched the qualifications for the Presidential and Merit scholarships. These scholarships are granted to exceptional students excelling in high school. Fortunately‚ I was awarded the Presidential scholarship from Manhattan College due to my high academic achievements. Moreover‚ I applied to STEM scholarships at Stony Brook University. This scholarship is given to a rising senior who shows a strong aptitude in the science field. Overall‚ the merit and STEM scholarships are beneficial and will be used

with examples‚ how the processes of natural selection and sexual selection are thought to have contributed to modern-day human behaviour. The processes of natural and sexual selection can help to explain why modern-day human behaviour has evolved. There are many physical and psychological characteristics that all human beings‚ across cultures‚ display today that have evolved from our ancestors‚ over thousands of years. As a result of the selection process‚ we have adapted in particular ways

the classical theory of natural selection if such an evolutionary protagonist as RD has time for it‚ then there must be a good reason. In fact‚ we see much behaviour in nature that appears altruistic: alarm calling‚ guarding‚ defence and foraging by non-reproductives and grooming are just a few examples. Since work first began on altruistic behaviours‚ various mechanisms have emerged that have been able to squeeze them into the conventional model of natural selection. However‚ by no means can all altruistic

Charles Darwin 1809-1882 Darwin was an English naturalist‚ who developed the theory of evolution through natural selection‚ to explain how the millions of species that inhabit the earth originally came into being. He published “On the origin of species” in 1859‚ in which he described his theory of evolution through natural selection. Darwin studied and observed a variation of plants‚ fossils and animals on the Galapagos islands and found they resembled modern species‚ and that most the animals

Theory) was not too different from Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection which came later in 1859. Both theories suggest that varying traits between individuals of the same species are passed down to offspring and hence‚ organisms evolve into the versions we see today. There are four main factors that drive the evolutionary process: Natural Selection Mutation Migration Genetic Drift Natural Selection: this is the process

Darwin’s Theory of Evolution & Natural Selection Charles Robert Darwin was born on 12 February 1809 in Shrewsbury‚ Shropshire into a wealthy family. Darwin himself initially planned to follow a medical career‚ and studied at Edinburgh University but later switched to divinity at Cambridge. In 1831‚ he joined a five year scientific expedition on the survey ship HMS Beagle. This is where he came up with his theory of evolution. During his voyage on the Beagle‚ Darwin found evidence that challenged

jungle at 9.” wrote British naturalist‚ Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913) to his mother‚ in an 1854 letter from Singapore. A. R. Wallace went on to propose the evolutionary theory of natural selection (independent of Charles Darwin) in the midst of his 8-year stay in Southeast Asia. Very simply put‚ natural selection means that the species with the more favourable adaptations will survive in the long term whereas the ones with the less favourable traits will become extinct. In March 1854‚ the self-taught

suggested that species evolve through sexual selection which involves attracting the mate with the greatest fitness and at the same time maximizing the chances of being selected as ‘fit’ themselves. Fitness‚ in the context of the evolutionary theory‚ means the ability to reproduce and have offspring‚ making it more likely for them to pass on their genes to the next generation. To explain this‚ Darwin came up with the two processes: Intra-sexual selection refers to the evolutionary process where members
