Natural Selection Intensity among four Hindu Varna populations of Lucknow Disttict‚ Uttar Pradesh Vibha Devi Bajpai and Dr. Udai Pratap Singh Department of Anthropology‚ University of Lucknow‚ 226007‚ U.P. India Abstract The selection intensity indices were calculated based one demographic information pertaining to fertility and mortality among the four Varnas of Lucknow population.The highest value of Crow’s index is observed in Kshartiya (0.494934) where as lowest in Brahmins (0.365809).

Darwin’s theory of natural selection is not supported by the geological or fossil record‚ since there have been little to no remains of intermediate species found in fossils. Darwin explains this by using the imperfection of the geological record‚ as changes in land over time means that species will often not be preserved in a way that can be studied by scientists. He also references Charles Lyell’s Principles of Geology‚ which states that the earth’s surface is constantly changing‚ as evidenced

he consequences of natural selection for all the species that do not vary and that are genetically identical is that the environment around them may cause them to go extinct. The environment has many powerful factors that play a role in natural selection. 2. Thomas Robert inspired Darwin and Wallace to write the theory for natural selection. He was an English clergyman and economist. The essay was about the increase and decrease of resources and population. It said the while the mankind population

Natural selection is Charles Darwin’s most famous theory; it states that evolutionary change comes from genetic variation in each generation and the survival of individuals with different combinations of these variable traits. Organisms with such characteristics that increase their probability of survival in their environment will endure and possess more opportunities to reproduce. Over time these traits are passed on to their offspring and proliferate through the population. Darwin’s innovative

Natural selection would favor groups living in areas with large amount of predators. This is because when individuals live in large groups‚ there are more eyes to watch the predators‚ and therefore‚ more time to eat. Moreover‚ it favors species that usually hunt huge animals because they can catch their prey easily. 2) Optimal flock size in birds has important benefits such as a better possibility of fending off predators. When a group of several birds are watching for predators‚ each individual

The Theory of Natural Selection was first introduced by Charles Darwin. While on a voyage to the Galapagos Darwin observed how animals possess certain traits that allowed them “the best chance of survival”. The basic concept of natural selection is that the animals with traits considered advantageous are able to reproduce more offspring then animals that do not have these traits. The precepts of this theory are manifested by observing animals and their traits. In his book The Origin of Species Darwin

example; “Culture conditions obviously influence the outcome of adaptive evolution.” This statement implies that they have extensive knowledge on all the different aspects of evolution. Many scientists today will admit that we do not fully understand evolution and all the factors involved. To say that the conditions ‘obviously’ influenced that outcome is too broad of a statement considering we weren’t there to see most of earth’s evolution take place.

The article on friendship and natural selection touched on some great topics which includes social ties that humans exhibit. Humans are some of the only species who form long lasting relationship with individuals who are not related to them through family or not involved sexually. The article states that humans tend to make connections with other individuals who they are similar with which in the article is called “Functional kin”. Friendship is a fundamental characteristic of human beings that has

Natural selection allows for success. Naturally‚ our human instinct is to survive and become successful. How we accomplish that success is questionable. Is success granted in how far a person has gone in their career? Or is success granted in achieving high morality? Playing by the rules will not provide an individual a sense of high morality or make them more successful than those who bend the rules. Playing by the rules is synonymous with having high integrity.
