Can Biological Theories Explain Rolex Watches in Addition to Peacocks Tails?
Can biological theories explain Rolex watches in addition to peacock’s tails? As humans, we do many things which are not instrumentally useful in an evolutionary sense: we dance, get drunk, create art, listen to music, and dress up in expensive clothing, amongst other things. These exhibitions of “useless” behaviours cannot be accounted for simply because we are reported to be in an evolutionary disequilibrium (Kirk et al, 2001); even our ancestors exhibited many of these

Molecular Biology Review
A study was recently conducted on what makes twins different. Some identical twins have small physical difference or tend to be more susceptible to disease than their pair. The theory for why these differences occur, as addressed in this article, is that chemical triggers switch on and off genes. They do this by attaching to the chromosome “like charms on a charm bracelet”. This is called epigenetic modification. These chemicals come from virtual all around

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

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.

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.
