The play Inherit the Wind by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee chronicles the trial of Bertram Cates—a school teacher in Tennessee who breaks the law by teaching Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution instead of creationism. Matthew Harrison Brady, the prosecuting attorney on the case, exhibits prominent characteristics which directly affects the way he conducts the trial. Brady displays various examples throughout the play of how his arrogance, insecurity, and intolerance influences the way he acts

The constant struggles, the endless despair, life as an ant needs much repair. We struggle for food day by day, while we watch all the others stuff their face. We kill their pests which live in their lawn, while they kill our families with raid ant spray. Us ants also aid in decomposition, and act as a barrier to termites, while we keep the pest population down overall. Despite all the good we do to humans they just swat us off. While waiting on the kitchen counter us ants try our very best to be

I was always interested with dinosaurs when I was young. I saw how each was unique, they all had interesting traits and ways of surviving that aren't commonly seen. As I got older I realized I probably wasn't going to get Jurassic Park any time soon, but the animals we had today weren't too bad, I just needed to search a little harder. I found out about animals like the horseshoe crab, most commonly considered that old flat animal you sometimes see at the zoo. I was more impressed by it

Title The finches’ adaptation and evolution In this experiment takes place as the investigation of finches being adapted and how they evolve during the years. Introduction and Purpose In the process of evolution permits you to experience the adaptation and evolution of the population of finches over 100, 200 and 300 years. These experiments can be located on the island Darwin and Wallace Island. Using different parameters that influence the adaptation and natural selection

text about humans So I was reading this article about artificial intelligence, and the concept that some of them are getting smarter day by day. Let's use the word "evolving" for this one. So now, they are evolving day by day, getting smarter because humans are getting new ideas on how to actually make them think, feel, and everything we can basically do, and maybe even more. These robotic studies, as well their intelligence, artificial intelligence always fascinates me more and more, day

1. Directional selection and disruptive selection is similar because they both show the distribution of phenotypes. In directional selection the distribution of phenotypes forms a “bell curve.” The selection against one of the phenotypes causes the distribution to “move” in one direction or the other. For example, plants whose flower color is determined by incomplete dominance, colors being red, white, and pink. Pink flowers being the average phenotype, but if the red flower was to be removed from

The humanities can be described as the study of how people process and document the human experience. Since humans have been able, we have used philosophy, literature, religion, art, music, history and language to understand and record our world. These modes of expression have become some of the subjects that traditionally fall under the humanities umbrella. Knowledge of these records of human experience gives us the opportunity to feel a sense of connection to those who have come before us, as well

In the novel, Lord of the Flies, the boys show the concept of Social Darwinism. The boys showed their level of strength by either dying or surviving when on the island. The concept of Social Darwinism is the natural selection of people best suited to live in society. This novel ties to the article Social Darwinism because some of the boys are stronger than the others, causing them to survive and the weaker to die. The novel Lord of the Flies represents a concept of Social Darwinism because the boys
