1,675 wordsICE AGE EXTINCTIONS OF THE MEGAFAUNA During the last Ice Age before humans arrived, the North American continent belonged to various forms of enormous, fantastic creatures. By the end of the Ice Age, most of these large animals had become extinct. Numerous attempts have been made to explain the disappearance of these animals, but there has yet to be a consensus. Among the theories that have been debated, two are predominant. They are the climatic change theory, and the overkill theory. The clima...

Ice Age Extinctions Of The Megafauna
1,668 words... vironments than do smaller animals. Larger animals are safer from predators than small animals are, but it is also harder for them to sustain in trying conditions. Many of the larger animals such as mammoths and bison travel in herds, and that, along with their large size, protects them from predators. However, when the predator is Mother Nature, there is virtually no defense. For modern day elephants, drought is the biggest concern. It can take twenty percent of a herd every year, but the e...

Kill Or Die March Of Folly Ideal
552 wordsThe song "Imagine" by John Lennon from the Beatles is certainly one of the songs that affected the youth in the 60 's and the early 70 's. It is clear that the song is trying to present a certain ideal about the world in the future- and ideal of peace, harmony and no wars. It is hard to argue with the song about the necessity of the things, but it is very easy to revoke the possibility that this ideal will come true. In this paragraph I would like to talk about the ideal itself. The ideal for su...

Work Of Art Type Of Person
1,258 wordsWhen Walter Benjamin wrote The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction in 1969, I am sure he didnt expect it to parallel the arguments of todays discussions on the ethics of cloning. In the short shadow of the replication of Dolly the sheep, and five little piglets from Virginia comes the discussion on if this practice should really be allowed, and if so, what limits do you set? How can you look in the eyes of people who have had there family members pass away because the cloning of pi...

Woolly Mammoth Huge Tusks Thick
346 wordsWe have learned much about the Woolly Mammoth almost more than any other dinosaur that has been identified. Due to the fact that the Woolly Mammoth so closely resembles todays elephants, care for them would most probably require most of the same factors to keep it alive. Since the Woolly Mammoth has been extinct for 4000 years, it is difficult to tell exactly what they lived on, but we can hypothesize. The Woolly Mammoth lived during the Ice Age, so if alive today, it must be kept in a tundra en...

Gregor Mendel Nitrogenous Bases
2,810 wordsIn the past few years, genetic engineering and cloning has come a long way. In a 1968 World Encyclopedia, genetics is described as the science of in-heritage (World Encyclopedia, pg. 84), and only refers to the original pea work by Gregor Mendel as the most recent experiments and references. The expand-tion of what genetics is does not take the space of half a page. In 1978, another encyclopedia has ten pages on the subject, though it focuses on plant genetic manipulation. As defined in Biology ...

Preservation of the mammoth remains was somewha...
