always had antibiotic resistant bacteria. It was produced even before humans because we have always had antibiotic. They we just not found out about until scientists discovered them. An example would be penicillin. This is produces from an antibiotic made by mold. It makes that antibiotic to kill bacteria that would complete for the material mold gets its nutrition from. This is why there is some penicillin resistant bacteria before human developed and discovered it. When exposing non-resistant bacteria

The Evolution of Compassion The evolution of compassion as a part of human nature has been a long standing debate topic. It is typically ignored when analyzing our evolutionary process, and if considered is viewed as some sort of emotional unreliability, and something that hinders out ability to evolve. However, compassion is an innate part of human nature that has evolved from thousands of years of survival. There are three evolutionary arguments for compassion. The first is that within the

This chapter is an introduction to the ideas, people, and events that have guided scientific activity in developmental psychology over the past century. Its preparation has been facilitated by several recent publications on the history of developmental psychology. The views of the past held by active researchers are reflected in chapters of the edited volume, A Century of Developmental Psychology (Parke, Ornstein, Rieser, & Zahn-Waxler, 1994). The contributors are, with few exceptions, currently

Americans believe in Evolution? Why do they believe Evolution over Creation? Because they don’t want science to be mixed around with all the “emotional fluff” that is supposedly found in Christianity. Evolution and Christianity are both philosophical explanations, meaning you can’t test them, but you can have faith and believe in them, trusting in the evidence found. The Creation theory is the belief that God created the world and everything in it in a 7 day week. The Evolution theory is the belief

don't have to look very far to see evidence of design, a human eye provides a perfect example of design, it is made up of loads of tiny parts all working in perfect harmony in order for someone to see and yet no human designer has managed to come anywhere close to making an eye. Surely this proves that there must be an intelligent designer who created us and the world? A theory which would disprove this would be Darwin's theory of evolution. It states that such complex things, such as sensitive

From the time that humans were created or evolved to now, people have argued whether everything all started with a ¨Big Bang¨ or if it were started and created by a God or another explanation of some sort. People still argue on this topic. If the galaxy imploded itself into existence, or if God created the stars, galaxies, universe, and life itself. Both sides have influential evidence to convince one side of the argument to the other. The term Darwinism is the theory that states we evolved by

Are Imprinted Genes Adaptive or Maladaptive? Epigenetics is referred to be the study of heritable changes other than those in the DNA sequence that encompass two major modifications of DNA or chromatin: DNA Methylation, the covalent modifications of cytosine, and post-translation modification of histones including methylation that is a highly intricate process that occurs within each cell as well as supplying fluid in the brain and within the liver, acetylation , phosphorylation and sumoylation

Science Study Guide Evolution- Adaptions: * Organisms are able to survive and breed in their environments because they are suited to them. * Characteristics such as structures functions and behaviours allow them to survive. * These characteristics are called adaptions because they are inherited. Adaptions are classified as: Structural- adaption is physical Functional- adaption involves the internal function of an organism Behavioural- adaption involves the way an organism
