Biological Species Concept
What are biological species? At first glance, this seems like an easy question to answer. Homo sapiens is a species, and so is Canis familaris (dog). Many species can be easily distinguished. When we turn to the technical literature on species, the nature of species becomes much less clear. Biologists offer a dozen definitions of the term "species". These definitions are not fringe accounts of species but prominent definitions in the current biological literature. Philosophers

In What Ways Are the Ideas of Socio-Biology Linked with Eugenics: What's Wrong with Trying to Engineer a Better Society Anyway?
Eugenics is concerned with the current direction of human evolution. Troy Duster (1990) in his book “Backdoor to Eugenics” defines eugenics as "the organic betterment of the race through wise application of the laws of heredity." The word Eugenics was first put to use in 1883 by Francis Galton in his “Inquiries into Human Faculty and Its Development”. The word originates from the Greek word eugenes meaning "...good in stock, hereditarily endowed with noble qualities".

Biological Aspects of Beauty
“The Biology of Facial Beauty”, an article from the International Journal of Cosmetic Science, states that it is common misconception that beauty is unsystematic.

Nevertheless, it could be improved by establishing a more clear-cut thesis and only selecting a few biological aspects of beauty to research and

Biology and Crime
Biology and crime Before being assigned this paper and the reading of chapter six, I would have argued biology and crime were completely unrelated, and that crime was strictly environmental. It’s the classic nature vs. nurture argument. From the text and reading these articles I have found that while environmental factors do contribute, genetics also plays an important role in prediction. Now, in my opinion, it is a complex combination of two strong factors. The

Race: Biological or Cultural?
Through research of DNA samples, scientists have been able to declare that race is not biologically constructed due to the similarities between human genes. Nevertheless, in reality, people still emphasized on biological aspects such as skin color, or hair texture to categorize others into different races. This in turn, denied the true identity of race, which it is culturally constructed. Ethnicity, by definition is also culturally constructed, therefore it greatly resemble race. There is no

Is there a relationship between the quantity of enzymes and the rate of reaction with the substrate?

1. The ability of ice to float because of the expansion of water as it solidifies is an important factor in the fitness of the environment. If ice sank, then eventually all ponds, lakes, and even oceans would freeze solid, making life as we know it impossible on earth. During the summer, only the upper few inches of the ocean would thaw. Instead, when a deep body of water cools, the floating ice insulates
