" Homo sapiens‚ a primate risen in Africa from a lineage that split away from the chimpanzee line five to eight million years ago" (501). In Wilson’s terms‚ Homo sapiens is the reason for earth’s change and composition. He asserts that no other species has ever come close to the human species of 5.5 billion‚ and furthermore believes that this vast number will likely double within the next 50 years. Wilson goes on to say that our species is like no other: "We are tribal and aggressively territorial

Darwin concluded‚ ”In each great region of the world the living mammals are closely related to the extinct species of the same region. It is‚ therefore‚ probable that Africa was formerly inhabited by extinct apes closely allied to the gorilla and chimpanzee; and as these two species are now man’s nearest allies‚ it is somewhat more probable that our early progenitors lived on the African continent than elsewhere. But it is useless to speculate on this subject‚ for an ape nearly as large as a man‚ namely

How DNA Controls the Workings of the Cell Below are two partial sequences of DNA bases (shown for only one strand of DNA) Sequence 1 is from a human and sequence 2 is from a cow.

An Exotic Animal as a Pet? In the many years of my young life (only 16)‚ I have encountered many situations with exotic animals.

The Complexity of the Animal Mind Do animals think? This question has been debated for centuries and no clear answer has yet to be decided. By looking at television‚ comic books‚ and children’s literature it would seem that animals do think and act intelligently. The fictional characters are given human movements‚ behavior‚ and language. In contrast‚ science‚ philosophy‚ and many other academic fields do not believe animals to think‚ feel‚ or behave intelligently. Animals are merely machines
