Humans have been interested in trying to clone animals that have gone extinct. Jurassic Park is a movie series based on what happens when a scientist did manage to clone these extinct creatures. The DNA of a woolly mammoth has recently been found, and now the discussion of cloning has been back in the media. This has become an important topic that society needs to think about now that technology has continued to advance. Bringing back extinct creatures could become a reality, not just science fiction

According to Nick Brostrom: “The human species is still young on this planet, and it is possible that we have as yet seen little of what is possible for us to become.” Think of the developments humans have made over the past thirty years, we’ve created smartphones, laptops, and other technological advances that have changed the world so it’s only logical to think that we will develop this new brand of human, the new and improved versions of ourselves. Such as androids, the androids in Dick’s novel

A gene is an inheritable factor that controls a specific characteristic of an organism. An allele is an alternative form of a gene. When you are born, you get one allele from your mom and one from your dad. These two alleles together represent your genotype. An allele is represented by either a capital or lowercase letter depending on the inheritance pattern. There are three types of inheritance patterns: complete dominance, incomplete dominance, and codominance. Complete dominance is when one allele

on the side of the evolutionist or the creationist? In 1859 Charles Darwin came up with the theory of evolution. It took seven years to translate the Hebrew Christian Bible to English, that is known as the King James Bible today. (Lang). These two very different theories on how everything came to be have been controversial topics for hundreds of years. Science highlights the belief in evolution, making us doubt the true and preserved word of God which states that humans were created in the beginning

There is one reason that I believe that the species have changed over the years. I think that the different biomes changes each organism. Each organism lives in a slightly different environment making them evolve. Species 2 lives in a forest where their webbed feet allow them to climb up trees to catch their food. Species 3 lives in a swamp and that evolved them to have a full shell around them to protect them from fish. Their sharp claws also allow them to catch onto small fish to eat. Species

Evolution plays a major part in today; it provides a vast amount of information of the reproduction of animals and organism. Evolution is the process of which different kinds of living organisms are believed to have developed from recent and earlier forms during the history and past of the earth. There are many theories of evolution from many different scientists but the two most well-known theories are by Charles Darwin and Jean Baptise Lamarck. Charles Darwin: Charles Darwin was born in 1809

One study that I came across examined the effects of climate change on ectothermic species, due to the fact that they constitute a vast amount of biodiversity and are potentially vulnerable to climate change because their basic physiological functions are influenced by temperature (Deutsch et al 2007). There have been many studies that examined how temperature impacts insect’s intrinsic rate of population growth (Frazier 2006). This study used data from previous studies to construct fitness curves

On March 1925, the state of Tennessee passed the Butler Act, the nation’s first law that made it punishable by law to teach evolution. The ACLU, which only formed five years prior was determined to defend any teacher willing to challenge this law; Such a teacher, was a young Biologist at Dayton High School, John T. Scopes who agreed to be tried for violating the Butler Act and was charged. The ACLU, for all its efforts, at the time had little success, took the case and hired Clarence Darrow, a famous

When speaking of this theory, it is understood that Leslie White as the precursor and principal model of this theory. The neo-evolutionary, as Leslie provided general guidance on the evolution and changes to cultures. Seeing this evolution as cause and effect, exploring into the nitty-envisioning of the future. Leslie White with a great Marxist and Symbolist influence, as well as interested in the meaning of the human symbols as a deposit of culture and how

De-extinction is the process of bringing bringing back animals.It sounds like a scientific term to bring animals back like the wooly mammoths.We need to bring them back because they are like elephants and a lot of people never have seen them in real life except for cavemen.I think that this is a very good idea. First we need to research to find the evidence that mammoths are very important and that we need to bring them back.George Church says de-extinction is a good idea.”Mammoths could keep the
