Evolution is the progressive change in organisms over time. There are 3 types of evidence to support evolution; fossil record shows the change over time, Antimonial record compares the body structures and the final one is DNA is comparing protein & DNA sequences. Evolution is a process of continuous branching and diversification from common trunks. This pattern of indivertible separation gives life history- Stephen Jay Gould. Evolution occurs in the Natural selection.Natural Selection was created/founded

scholars could gain only a basic understanding of the anatomy of humans and animals. At a handful of universities where students trained in medicine—such as Bologna or Paris—professors read from the books of the Greek physician Galen. Galen had combined the philosophical work of Aristotle and other Greeks with his own lifetime of dissections, creating a system that explained not just the structure of the human body, but how the body worked. His work was believed to be unblemished and ideal world wide

The Brain Week 2 Psy 240 Biopsychology The human brain is ultimately responsible for all thought and movement that the body produces and is one of the largest and most complex organs in the human body composed of trillions of connections that work together called synapses. The brain weighs approximately three pounds and is made up of nerve cells which interact with the rest of the body through the spinal cord and nervous system. It contains about 75 percent water along with 100 billion neurons

The Brain The brain is known to be the most complex part of the human body. It weighs around three-pounds and is where the intelligence, senses (smell, touch, sight, hearing, and touch), initiator of body movement, and behavior is processed. For centuries, the brain has been examined and researched, but nobody really knew how it worked, not until the last 10 years. The last 10 years, scientists and researchers have learned more about the brain than the past centuries of brain research. This is

the largest and most complex organs in the human body. It is made up of more than 100 billion nerves that communicate in trillions of connections called synapses. It is the portion of the vertebrate central nervous system enclosed in the skull and continuous with the spinal cord through the foramen magnum that is composed of neurons and supporting and nutritive structures (as glia) and that integrates sensory information from inside and outside the body in controlling autonomic function (as heartbeat
