1 5 Million Homo Erectus
1,480 wordsGlynn Isaac Defines "the Homebase Hypothesis" It has been argued since Darwin's day that the great apes were man's nearest living relatives, and as evidence emerged during the late 1960 's of the hunting propensities and simple tool use of chimpanzees (Goodall 1986), anthropologists found more and more reason to presume similarity of behavior between modern (e. g. , Pan troglodytes or Pan panics) and ancient varieties of hominids (Tanner 1981). Still, modern humans are not chimps. Substantial di...

One apostate (Tim White) defected to the home base of Donald Johanson. In general, no surprises emerged from the new work. (Sept 1992) However, in his 1982 dissertation, Potts developed an independent critique of the home base idea. Many of the animal bones at Type C sites, he noticed, showed signs of carnivore-inflicted damage. Ev...

Billion Years Ago Solar System
2,233 words... alvarez's case, and see if it was flawed. This job was turning out to be more fun than I had expected. On my second reading of Alvarez's letter, I found it particularly dubious that the Cretaceous and Eocene extinctions should be excluded. How do we know that asteroids do not hit the Earth periodically? I asked. Maybe our failure to arrive at a theory just meant that we hadn't been clever enough. Not finding something is not the same as proving it is not there. I decided to reserve judgment....

Long Term Memory Speech And Language
1,076 wordsRecent brain scan research has found abnormalities in the brains of stutterers, and promises new treatments for stuttering using drugs and computerized devices. No differences between stutterers and non-stutterers have been found during silent rest (Ingham, 1996). During fluent speech, stutterers' brains look similar to non-stutterers' brains. But during stuttering, cerebral activity changes dramatically. The most striking difference is that left-hemisphere areas active during normal speech beco...

Cruel And Unusual Punishment Death Penalty
1,802 wordsWhile capital punishment has been one of the most feared things in our time, it is still being questioned if it's unconstitutional. The death penalty is being enforced in more than 100 countries. And throughout the history, the death penalty is usually a result of crimes of either rape or murder. Although we carry out the punishment in a better manner than other countries, its safe to say that the American public's opinion toward the issue is divided. Some people believe that the procedure is cr...

Central Nervous System Peripheral Nervous System
1,382 wordsThe ability to regenerate the tissues of the human central nervous system (CNS) is one of the greatest projects undertaken by biomedical engineers today. With this eventual technology, permanent paralysis and blindness due to CNS injury will be a thing of the past. Central nervous system injuries will be repairable, an idea that was, until recently, just a fanciful dream, something out of a science fiction novel. In the last few years, however, giant strides have been made to make the idea of CN...

Chemical Reaction Test Tube
682 wordsBackground An example of a gas would be hydrogen. A chemical property is how a substance changes its identity. An example of this would be being able to support flammability. A physical property distinguishes one type of matter from another and can be observed without changing its identity. An example of this is somethings boiling point because when you change a liquid to a gas it does not change its identity only its form. A chemical change is when something changes identity and example of this...

Transformational Leaders Charismatic Leadership

They have visions and can communicate them successfully to their followers by linking them with the innermost desires of the followers, thus making these visions appealing to the followers and motivating them to work towards the visions. The reason why past research has almost always assumed that if a leader is charismatic, he / she is also a visionary could be that, most of the leaders that were studied by researchers on were very prominent, succ...

Greater Can Be Conceived Idea Of God
1,457 wordsThroughout history there has been a concept of a greater being (s) that guided our lives. In the beginning the main idea was that of plurality and polytheism. In ancient Greece and Rome, there were various gods that were believed to control different aspects of life. At some point, people began to worship only one god, the god of their own tribe. This religious position of henotheism eventually shifted to monotheism, for many. With monotheism comes the idea that your god is not only the god of y...

Darwin Theories Spontaneous Generation

This so-called war between Charles Darwin and Richard Owen circled on the topic of evolution. As much as it would liked to have this essay based upon a physical war between these two opposing figures, it is not the case. This war involved the use of text written by Darwin and meanwhile having Owen misinterpreting it and trying ...

Deduce From T Theory T Is Scientific Version
672 wordsThere is often a heated debate on whether or not a theory is scientific. This debate brings to light a problem named the demarcation problem. This problem simply asks how one distinguishes between science and non-science. This is a very important question especially in examining separation of church and state.

Visual Perception Psychological Factors
1,456 wordsVisual sensation differs from visual perception even though the two processes form a sequence. Our brain obtains meaning from what we look at through the process of sensation and perception (Grivas Down &# 038; Carter pg 77). Though the two systems interact they both serve a different purpose. Sensation is a physiological process which involves the reception and transduction of information and its transmission to the brain. (Grivas Down &# 038; Carter pg 77). In other words sensation involves co...
