What Can Bones Reveal About Humans? In the article “Ancient Genes and Modern Health‚” authors S. Boyd Eaton and Melvin Konnor reveal the diet of Paleolithic ancestors‚ nutritional variations that accompanied the advancement of agriculture‚ and common illnesses that were frequent in the West but not in hunter-gatherers. As anthropologists have discovered much evidence that early humans were once primarily scavengers and gatherers of plants‚ much valuable information can be revealed about early history

Evolution vs. Creationism by Verda Kamal The origin of mankind has been a topic of interest for everyone‚ from a microbiologist to the layman‚ for hundreds of years. Different theories had been postulated to explain it but none of them elucidated the process as well as the theory proposed by Charles Darwin in 1859 known as ‘The Darwin Theory.’ The latter came as a shock to the monotheistic religious groups who believed a divine power to be responsible for the creation of humanity rather than

Quammen then begins to present the evidence that Darwin was correct in some of his theories but not all of them. He does this by stating what Darwin based most of his beliefs off of. His beliefs were based solely off of the four fields of study‚ paleontology‚ embryology‚ morphology‚ and biogeography. Quammen explains that Darwin was wrong in his theory of variation among species‚ and his theory of inheritance. Being wrong in both of those fields he was correct in the most important aspect of science

What is the scientific community’s argument for evolution? The theory of Evolution is a well known and accepted theory by people all around the world‚ but still has a great amount of controversy around it‚ simply because of the connotation that comes along with the word ‘theory’. Biologists and the rest of the scientific community considers the existence of biological evolution to be a fact. However‚ biologists admit that they are less certain of the exact mechanisms of evolution. Everything

Was Darwin Wrong? By David Quammen Evolution by natural selection‚ the central concept of the life’s work of Charles Darwin‚ is a theory. It’s a theory about the origin of adaptation‚ complexity‚ and diversity among Earth’s living creatures. If you are skeptical by nature‚ unfamiliar with the terminology of science‚ and unaware of the overwhelming evidence‚ you might even be tempted to say that it’s "just" a theory. In the same sense‚ relativity as described by Albert Einstein is "just" a theory

1 What is science? The word “science” probably brings to mind many different pictures: a fat textbook‚ white lab coats and microscopes‚ an astronomer peering through a telescope‚ a naturalist in the rainforest‚ Einstein’s equations scribbled on a chalkboard‚ the launch of the space shuttle‚ bubbling beakers …. All of those images reflect some aspect of science‚ but none of them provides a full picture because science has so many facets: These images all show an aspect of science‚ but a

Evolution of Whales Whales have evolved dramatically to adapt to life in the water as they started out as typical land animals. It has taken 12 million years for the modern whale to become as we know it. They had feet and legs suited for walking on land. They also had long skulls and carnivorous teeth‚ these whales evolved nostrils that were positioned further and further back along the snout. This trend has continued into living whales‚ which have a "blowhole" (nostrils) located on top of the
