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...

Men And Women Biological Differences
1,729 words"everyone "does gender without thinking about it" (Judith Lorber, "Paradoxes of Gender, p. 13). When I was young I did not think about my gender role. I did not think about the day to day events in my life that effected my gender. When I look back I can find so many instances of gender in my life. So, I am taking one of the smallest instances because of the many ways it relates to not only gender building, but maintaining. As a child I remember very cold winters in Omaha.

Strawson shows, I think utterly persuasively, that you can think about minds only in a language which con...
