physical injury. The reputation of scientists has

People of the world are part of different races,
which share different biologically transmitted
traits that members of society deem socially
significant. Nineteenth-century biologist labeled

Caucasians; they called those with darker skin and
coarser, curlier hair Negroid; and people with
yellow or brown skin and distinctive folds on the
eyelids were termed Mongoloid. Sociologist

In 1632, Galileo Galilei published his book
"Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems.
" As innocent as this may seem, the implications
that were associated with the publishing of the
book were soon evident. In the time prior to the
publishing of the book, Galileo had been warned
several times not to publish it by the Catholic
Church. The book was a fictitious dialogue between
three men, whose purpose was to discuss two
theories of Planetary Motion. The theory that
Galileo was advocating ...

The Controversy Continues Charles Darwin

Charles Darwin wrote The Origin of the Species,
which laid out his theory of evolution. His ideas
revolutionized science, but also created a
controversy that still continues to this day.
Unlike some figures who took a stand in history,

created. Charles Darwin published the Origin

Process Of Cloning Human Cloning

Should cloning for human benefits or even human
cloning itself be allowed in society today? That
is a question we must ask ourselves. Less than two
years ago, an event in genetic history changed the

the worlds conscience a new element to the study
of Biology. This event immediately caught my
interest and intrigued me. It was the birth of a
unique sheep named Dolly. Dolly was a clone sheep

hundred thousand men and women took part in the

Gregor Mendel Twenty One

Gregor Mendel is considered the father of the
discipline of Genetics. It is ironic that he bears
this exposition, because Gregor Mendel never used
the term gene or genetics in his life. It was not
until 1905, twenty-one year after Mendel's death,
that William Bateson baptized Mendel's work as
genetics. Like many brilliant minds before him,
Mendel was ahead of his era; his findings were
ignored for nearly thirty years. Gregor was of
peasant upbringings; his father was a farmer. He
