For the most part independent Egyptologists claim weathering is largely the result of precipitation. Given that Egypt has remained bone dry for the past 5‚500 years they conclude weathering must have occurred during what is called the African Humid Period. Which occurred some 5‚500 to about 16‚000 years ago when Egypt and all of Northern Africa was a green environment. The problem is there is no evidence of any civilization capable of building anything like the Sphinx at that time. Precipitation

Biological Psychology Biology is the study of all living things whereas psychology deals with the way these living things behave and react to external and internal stimuli.

(Krilowicz and Henter‚ 1997). Chronobiology is the study of biological rhythms. While there maybe be some factors that affect biological rhythms (Cermakian and Boivin‚ 2009)‚ this paper will emphasize normal biological rhythms. The importance of chronobiology is that it shows us how animals and humans regulate their bodies. We had to conduct an experiment that would let us see how our bodies are regulated. The experiment tests the biological rhythms of human beings to see when a person would reach the

desirable traits (Anemone‚ 2011). There are two types of adaptations‚ biological adaptation and cultural adaptation. Biological adaptations have to do with our genetics and cultural adaptations are those made by physical objects such as housing‚ clothing‚ and tools. Biological adaptations are traits that get passed on to different generations through natural selection (Anemone‚ 2011). We can look at skin color as apart of biological adaptations and the absorption of UV rays and vitamin D. We get vitamin

This approach tends to fit in with the nature nurture debate. A biological perspective is relevant to the study of psychology in three ways: 1. Comparative method: different species of animal can be studied and +compared. This can help in the search to understand human behaviour. 2. Physiology: how the nervous system
