Body Hair Human Evolution

Human Evolution: the water theory. Elaine Morgan
The crucial question about human evolution is why
humans differ so strikingly from the African apes
despite their close genetic relationship. Most
Darwinists would agree that such differences are
usually attributable to differing environmental
pressures; and hence that our ancestors at some
stage probably occupied a significantly different
habitat from the ancestor of the gorilla and the
chimpanzee. For the last half-century it has been
generally ...

Organic Molecules Organic Matter
633 words
Dissolved oxygen infers to the volume of oxygen
that is contained in water. Oxygen enters water
through photosynthesis and across the water
interface. The amount of oxygen that can be held
by the water depends on the water pressure,
salinity, and temperature. Gas solubility
increases with decreasing temperature; thus colder
water holds more oxygen. A reason why freshwater
holds more oxygen than does saltwater is because
gas solubility increases with decreasing salinity.
When there is a change in...

Differences In Animal Phyla

Because they are grouped in the same kingdom, the
nine animal phyla share the same fundamental
characteristics- they are multicellular,
heterotrophic eukaryotes that obtain nutrients
through ingestion, they lack cell walls, they have
nervous tissue and muscle tissue, and they
reproduce sexually and have a unique embryonic
life cycle. However, the animal phyla have a great
number of differences as well. Some are visible to

Fiber optics is a cable that is quickly replacing
out-dated copper wires. Fiber optics is based on a
concept known as total internal reflection. It can
transmit video, sound, or data in either analog or
digital form. Compared to copper wires it can
transmit thousands of times more data (slide 2).
Some of its general uses are telecommunications,
computing, and medicine. The very first fiber was
made in 1870 by the British physicist John Tyndal.
In this experiment that he showed to the Royal
Socie...

Involved In The Surgery Emotions
523 words
In 1874, Thomas Eakins took a second course in
anatomy at Jefferson Medical College. He attended
surgical lectures and clinics presided over by
Professor Samuel D. Gross. Eakins painted The
Gross Clinic, to show the emotion involved in
medical procedures. It appears as if the doctors
performing the surgery have emotionally removed
themselves from the situation at hand. By removing
themselves from the emotional aspects of the
surgery, the doctors can complete the task much
easier than they would ...

In 1980, the estimated amount of rain forests in
the world was 40, 000 square miles. This number

The first question that must be posed when trying
to crack the mystery of the mass extinction is to
ask, throughout history were there any other
occurences of this magnitude? The answer is a
resounding yes. Altogether over time there has
been about eight mass extinctions to large land
dwelling vertebrates. The most recent was about
ten thousand years ago, killing most of the giant
mammals like mammoths, mastodons, super-large
camels, saber-toothed tigers, and others (Bakker
