Deconstructing ‘White Fang’: binary of “truth/deception” Around 1876, the theory of evolution by Charles Darwin was in its apogee in the scientific world which led to Jack London’s use some of his theories in his writings. The theory of evolution examines why organisms evolve over time through the natural selection of inherited physical or behavioral traits. London’s work is vast and while writing for sixteen years, the author left nineteen novels, short stories, essays and several books as part

DARWIN VS LAMARCK Evolution is a process of change, modern theories of evolution state that all living organisms share a common origin. It is the slow process that changes animals and plants with modification. Small modifications occur at the genetic level in DNA with each generation. These genetic changes can alter the characteristics of the population and as new species appear. The aim of this seminar is to inform the audience on the various theories of evolution such as Darwin and Lamarck and

Charles Darwin is important to the society now because of the hypothesis that he has made. In the science world, he was known for learning about genetics. He was a man whose theories seemed to appear as the truth. Darwin found different birds and also the theory of natural selection. These are some of his well known hypotheses. Charles Darwin, had found species of birds and named them all similar. The birds are Finches, the birds come in different shapes and colors. The finches originated from

Darwin or Adam Smith Homo sapiens are different from all species due to the fact that people have achieved intellectual dominance of planet Earth, and all life forms that reside on it. Humans are known as, “social animals” (Heilbroner) because of the way they interact with other humans. The “Juggernaut Theory” (Edward Wilson) suggests that humans have a selfish gene embedded in the fabric of the race’s D.N.A. This results in disrupting natural growth cycles of other species and organisms by overpopulating

Evolving from primates to humans took millions of years. Until the mid-1800s, many believed humans were a product of Intelligent Design. Charles Darwin and Gregor Mendel’s theories of evolution and genetics were a breakthrough in the scientific community and are still praised for their efforts to this day. From 1831-1836, Darwin went to the Galapagos islands and found that the finches there had various beak sizes, which led to his discovery of natural selection. Mendel bred thousands of pea plants

In Charles Darwin's essay "Natural Selection" he defines natural selection as the "preservation of favorable variations and the rejections of injurious variations" (191). In other words, natural selection is the process by which nature, over the course of several generations, manipulates the physical characteristics and/or behavior of animals by carefully selecting and passing on the modifications that would allow the individual animal to thrive in their natural habitat; however small the modification

19 MENGAPA KEKEBALAN BAKTERI TERHADAP ANTIBIOTIK BUKANLAH CONTOH PERISTIWA EVOLUSI? Satu konsep biologi yang dicoba-sajikan sebagai bukti teori evolusi oleh para evolusionis adalah kekebalan atau daya tahan bakteri terhadap antibiotik. Banyak sumber evolusionis menyebutkan bahwa kekebalan terhadap antibiotik adalah sebuah contoh perkembangan makhluk hidup melalui mutasi yang menguntungkan. Hal serupa juga dikatakan tentang serangga yang menjadi kebal terhadap insektisida seperti DDT. Akan tetapi
