Over hundreds of thousands of generations‚ ontogenesis‚ structure and process of human nature and personality have been constructed by natural and sexual selection. This revolutionary concept about organic evolution‚ better known as the ‘theory of evolution’ was first introduced in 1859 by English naturalist Charles Darwin. (Maltby‚ Day & Macaskill‚ 2013) He believed that all living beings evolved from simple organisms and have changed throughout periods of time to create many various types of species

fundamental unit of ecological study. Ecology vs Ecosystem Ecology and ecosystem are two confusing concepts for those who are not aware of them. Ecology is sometimes called study of nature. Well‚ it is‚ but it is much more than life sciences like biology and physics‚ and includes geography‚ environment‚ oceanography etc. It is a comprehensive study of organisms and their relation with the environment they live in and interact with one another. It includes the amount and spread of organisms and how

television nature documentaries alongside Geography and Biology lessons help me appreciate the pressures on wildlife today. My A level subjects support my interest in the overlap between real-life studies‚ scientific theory and the ’wider economic and social context as explored in General Studies.

In behaviorology‚ biology is recognized as mediating behavior but that behavior is always a response to the environment and usually the functional relationship between the behavior and the environment are studied rather than considering the mediation of the behavior by biological processes.

Arabidopsis thaliana as a model organism Arabidopsis thaliana is a small plant in the mustard family (Mitchell-Olds‚2001) that became the best studied model system in plant species. Thaliana is considered a weed. The flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana is a important model system to identify genes and determine their functions. In 1964‚ Plant scientists made a prediction that Arabidopsis thaliana would become the botanical equivalent of Drosophila‚ and history has carried out this prediction

We’re All Human According to Brian Schwimmer‚ “kinship is constructed from a set of categories‚ groups‚ relationships‚ and behaviors based upon culturally determined beliefs and values concerning human biology and reproduction.” (Schwimmer‚ 1996) This definition resonates with me because it has the influx of the sociobiology and relativist perspective on the subject. Faubion describes kinship as “…illustrative of the constitution of intersubjectivity‚ of organized alterity…” (Faubion‚ 2001) which
