Melissa King Biological Anthropology 06 March 2015 Midterm Exam Part I: * A phenotype is an organism's observable trait. The phenotype is determined by the relationship between the two parental alleles. For example. if someone has the genotype "Bb" for brown eyes (B) and blue eyes (b), their phenotype would be brown eyes, because the brown allele dominates over the blue eyes allele. * A gene is a piece of DNA that contains the instructions for a protein. It is a unit that is hereditary

1. What journal was the article published in? This article was published October 1958 in The Ecological Society of America 2. Find five terms that you do not know the meaning of in the paper. DEFINE these terms Non parametric statistics: is defined to be a function on a sample that has no dependency on a parameter, and whose interpretation does not depend on the population fitting any parametrized distributions. Statistics based on the ranks of observations are one example of such statistics

*Q: What is Evolution? - Descent from modification * Macro Evolution (Large Scale Evolution) * Common Ancestor - descent of different species over many generations * OVER LARGER TIMESCALE (ex. Speciation) * Micro Evolution (Small Scale Evolution) * Changes in gene (allele) frequency in population from one generation to the next * May be over shorter time period (generations) * BOTH OF THESE IMPLY: * 1. Common Ancestry * 2. Changes through

classic tale of a wolf in sheep’s clothing where as the wolf being determinism attacking naturalism, the sheep. I have to believe that deep down that Darwin and most Darwinians for that matter that natural selection was and is not the only cause for evolution. There also are some scientists and philosophers for that matter whom concur that our human genotypes do constrain our

belief, however, is the belief that a supernatural Creator initiated the life process and continues to control it. The most reasonable view on the origin of mankind is known as naturalistic evolution. It means a gradual process by which one kind of living creature changes into something different; evolution that is not directed by any purposeful intelligence. Another part of the idea is that more complex forms have arisen from simpler forms. Tracing back to the simplest living thing, a bacterium

years of evolution. If man in his origin is a product of a long evolutionary past, man is then best understood in terms of the animal, the savage, and the child. From the Biblical perspective, man was created as a mature individual and did not evolve over time. Some humanistic psychologists hold that man is simply someone who has evolved from primitivism. Their aim against maturity is what they use to justify their position. If man is constantly led to believe that they evolve from evolution rather

Creationism vs. Evolutionism The quandary continues of whether or not creationism should be taught as an alternative viewpoint to the theory of evolution within the American public school systems. If scientific creationists believe that God's message is the defining element for the content, aims, and conditions of educational practice, then the argument can be made that creationism belongs in the classroom. On the contrary are those who assert creationism is not science and further suggests

important to consider both genetics and experience because they interact with each other providing a clearer explanation for individual behavior. All behaviors are connected through the interactions of genetics, experience and perception. ("Chapter 2, Evolution, Genetics, and Experience"). Behavior cannot be assessed by separately measuring the percentage of factors and adding them together. It is essential to understand the contributions of learned behavior and genetic behavior, but we must look
