1. To prove that this person is an imposter, and that I am the real me would be extremely difficult. Because of the fact that they have the exact same body as me, that would mean that I cannot use the body theory. They also share the same memories as I do so that would eliminate the memory theory. The illusion theory claims that there is no self that persists through time and we are constantly changing every moment, so I could not use that theory. The only one remaining that I could attempt to use

Lesson 3 Essay Questions: 1- Compare and contrast directional selection and disruptive selection, and provide an example of each. Directional selection occurs when one extreme of a trait is favored and the distribution curve shifts in that direction. An example of this is the human struggle with malaria. The mosquito Anopheles transmits the disease. A new drug for the disease and a insecticide for the mosquito was created. But over the years they became resistant to it and multiplied, shifting

Well obviously there must be something to have made everything, everything has a creator. Non-Believers: If there was a higher power that was responsible for everything that has and will happen on Earth, then Earth would be perfect. The theory of evolution, produced by Darwin, states that there isn't a 'God' at all. There is no authenticated evidence to suggest that 'God' does exist. Whereas, there is more than enough evidence to support Darwin's theory. The human eye is imperfect, if there was a 'God'

occurs. Even for a single definition of species, there are many ways for speciation to occur. Under the biological species concept, speciation is the evolution of one or more reproductive isolating mechanisms. Under the cohesion species concept, speciation is the evolution of isolation or otherwise distinct reproductive communities and/or the evolution of novel and shared adaptations that create lineage cohesion due to natural selection. Populations can be recognized as distinct species if they are

Aggression as a group of humans on an individual in another territory is a low-risk strategy in order to gain more resources, more food, more females and more offspring, thereby passing more genes onto the next generation (in line with Darwinian evolution). Group displays of aggression may occur due to xenophobia - also known as the threat of the unknown. It is evolutionarily advantageous to be wary of something unknown and to display aggression when faced with something which could potentially
