Gene Pool Natural Selection
1,169 wordsvolution is the cornerstone of modern biology. It unites all the fields of biology under one theoretical umbrella. It is not a difficult concept, but very few people -- the majority of biologists included -- have a satisfactory grasp of it. One common mistake is believing that species can be arranged on an evolutionary ladder from bacteria through "lower" animals, to "higher" animals and, finally, up to man. Mistakes permeate popular science expositions of evolutionary biology. Mistakes even fil...

Hereditary Claim Maori Tattoos
746 wordsWhen looking at Maori art, there is one thing that sticks out amongst everything else with me, and with most likely everyone that sees it for the first time, this is their tattooing skills.

The art of tattoo was brought to New Zealand by the Polynesians when they migrated to New Zealand. Men of the tribe are more e...

Fraternal Twins Environmental Factors

At the beginning of the 18 th Century Tsar Peter the Great was in power...
