Early human evolution is characterised by speciation. The term speciation refers to “the formation of new and distinct species in the course of evolution”. Recently‚ experts in the field of evolution have given special emphasis to the new and most controversial issue of Homo floresiensis. Homo floresiensis (known as the Hobbit Man and LB1) is the little bodied and an extinct species that was discovered from a fossil and simple stone tools in 2003 on the island of Flores in Indonesia. Scientists indicate

Should we teach Evolution or Creationism in our schools? God only knows. Most Teachers and scientists believe that teaching creationism in the schools is inappropriate because they consider this a religious teaching. Creationists believe that Intelligent Design should be taught in the schools because they hold the Bible to be the text for the blue print of life while proclaiming science a myth. Evolutionists believe that Intelligent Design is not a true science because it cannot be verified

In this study‚ "Darwin Island" and "Wallace Island" are lab environments that were used to conduct the experiment. By manipulating

Evolution Theory should be taught at schools.Whenever various debates have taken place in parts of the country regarding whether evolution should be taught in schools‚ I have always observed the situation with a degree of skeptism; the education I received never attempted to dissuade us from learning about evolution‚ and while none of my classes ever taught evolution with as much depth as Ernst Mayr attempted to convey in What Evolution Is‚ both systems taught it as a fact – one that we took for

Evolution versus Creationism: Evolution leads the truth over Creationism Abstract Evolution and Creationism have been a heated debate in the school system for years. There is a lot more evidence shows that Evolution is better than Creationism but some people don’t believe that. Like how the Earth was created slow and instead of fast like the Bible says. And how plant and animal life evolved more slowly than the Bible saying that God created the plant and animal life on Earth

The theory of evolution says that the existence of homologous structures adapted to different purposes as the result of descent with modification from a common ancestor. There is a lot of evidence for the theory of evolution. Some might be fossil record‚ embryology‚ comparative anatomy‚ molecular biology‚ and biography. Darwin was one of the first people to try to figure out what evolution is. He did a lot of research and experiments to find out if evolution is real or not. He even went on a voyage

Evolution or Creationism Let us go back in time to the roaring 1920’s where jazz was loud and dancing was known as an every night kind of exercise for everyone! Not only were things changing around us‚ but also school’s education. John Scopes is in court in Dalton‚ Tennessee for teaching his high school biology class Darwin’s theory of Evolution. Not only against the law according to William Jennings Bryan who is afraid the morals of others going down under with the tradition home. Thus making

Catholicism and Evolution I grew up in a Catholic family. They taught me that God created all humans out of clay in a seven day time period. I also learned that Adam and Eve were the first humans created. However‚ as I got older and began my education‚ science has taught me something new to believe. This new teaching is called evolution. On the other hand‚ Catholics and scientists have had much controversy over the new teaching. Scientist for evolution teach that humans were created over a series

There has been an on going debate about creation and evolution for hundreds of years and there is multiple sides to each debate. I agree with the bible that we were created by God. Some of the following facts support my belief that creationism is more realistic than evolution. Creation shows the existence of a creator who has used his creative abilities‚ creating this world. Thus‚ apparent design in biology would constitute evidence for a Designer. It is a self-evident and universally recognized

a) Discuss current research into the evolutionary relationships between extinct species‚ including megafauna and extant Australian species. Megafauna simply means large animals‚ in which most have become extinct within the last 20 000 to 50 000 years. The extinction of megafauna was‚ debatably‚ due to climate change and human expansion. Although‚ Africa still retains some megafauna‚ such as the elephant or the rhinoceros. Australia has managed to keep many examples of relict species‚ some from
