As you have learned in the readings‚ extinction is a natural selection process. You have also read that humans are often responsible for accelerating this process. Using at least two scholarly or reputable resources and your textbook‚ address whether or not we as humans should be concerned with the extinction rate. Additionally‚ discuss whether or not humans should strive to preserve representative samples of all biomes on the planet. Yes‚ I believe that humans should be concerned with the extinction

due to shrinking of tropical trees‚ could be taken as a particularly salient example of this. Ignoring the impact of human on minimizing the habitat of animals is thereby a grave mistake. Additionally‚ another factor has added fuel to fire is traditional concept of animals. The blinded belief accounts for the over hunting and the abuse specific animals on conventional therapies.

GLOBALWARMING: NATURAL OR MANMADE? ------------------------------------------------- Saloni Gupta (Civil engineering Dept.‚ MediCaps Institute of Science and Technology) ABSTRACT: The ‘Mother Earth’ has been cooling for the last decade. Poles of the planet are gaining about as much ice as they are losing. It is worth mentioning that since past 420‚000 years‚ Earth’s atmospheric temperature is changing even before carbon dioxide emission by humans. There is no scientific evidence to back claims

We don’t know what are the side effects of these repellents are. Some leaves‚ unripe fruit‚ and their seeds contain vermicidal and insectidal properties. It is an inexpensive alternative in avoiding mosquito that causes

Chapter ten focused primarily on evolution and natural selection. Evolution are the changes in traits‚ phenotypes‚ of groups of organisms over time. Darwin was influenced by Lamark and Malthus‚ who were other scientists during his time. Lamar believed that acquired characters are passed on to offspring. For example‚ giraffe necks would change for “adaptation”. Giraffes would be born with longer necks. Malthus believed that populations try to go beyond support capacity. He believed they go through

100 million animals are used in animal testing every single year to further the understanding of species and the impact of different modern medicines. There are many organizations that are extremely against the use of these animals in medicine‚ saying that it is “cruel and inhumane”. Compare these 100 million to the 56 billion animals slaughtered for food for humans. Those 100 million almost seem like a small amount‚ don’t they? The animals used in scientific testing have contributed to many life-saving
