Essays on Scientific Theories

Charles Darwin’s theory of “survival of the fittest” is a cornerstone of evolutionary biology that explains the process of natural selection and the adaptation of species over time. This essay delves into the key concepts of the theory, its implications, and its enduring relevance in…

Introduction The theory of continental drift, proposed by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century, revolutionized our understanding of the Earth’s geological history. This groundbreaking theory suggests that the continents were once part of a supercontinent called Pangaea and have gradually drifted apart over millions…

Many of us think that everyday we live normal lives without anything that has to do with it, but you are wong. Biology has something to do with our everyday lives as well as math, but I will mainly focus on Biology. In this essay…

For many years, the world has been confronted with two theories that should explain the existence of life and the development of human beings in the world: the theory of evolution and the Creationism. The first one is the scientific discovery that has had the…

Though gender may seem like a simple term, it is truly quite complex in nature. What is seen as acceptable, appropriate, or desireable for a specific biological sex is engrained in everyone’s subconscious. The idea of gender is different throughout many cultures, and many different…

Meyer (1988) and Barley & Groves (1992) states that the economically viable mineral-deposit (ore) systems are heterogeneously, but not randomly, distributed in time and space. There are distributed in relation to the evolution of the earth, particularly to its progressive cooling and geodynamic evolution from…

We should care about evolution according to Shubin because it explains where and how we humans came about. It explains why we have the characteristics we do today. At this point common descent is pretty much fact since the evidence is so conclusive. The sooner…

The two articles address evolution in a very detailed matter with convincing evidence. Elizabeth Bumiller’s article is obviously an explanation. At first, it may look like Fullam is offering an explanation while Bumiller has an argument. However, it is actually quite the opposite. Bumiller’s article…

The Kalahari Basin in the continent of Africa lies in the south and covers a vast lowland area in six different countries, it is a semi-arid, sandy savanna. Soil over the Kalahari basin is produced by the breakdown of rock due to physical or chemical…

A schematic geochemical evaluation should be considered to examine the favorability or probability of a mineral deposit in order to construct a predictive model (Caranza et al., 2010; Wang et al., 2013). Taking into account that the primary geochemical haloes are formed and developed contemporaneous…

Evolution, what is evolution? Evolution is the process by which different kinds of organisms have changed and adapted from their earlier forms. Evolution relates so closely to biology because biology is the study of life and evolution is how living organisms have adapted to the…

All cultures have origin stories or legends to explain their beginning and the beginning of the world. Some culture stories are based in creationism, and others are based in the science of evolution. Evolution is a widely accepted theory of how species change over time….

Evolution of Sexuality in Animals Scientists estimated that about 99% of all eukaryotes reproduce sexually. Cats reproduce sexually, fish reproduce sexually, but why all those animals reproduce sexually? Wouldn’t be easier if they reproduced asexually, after all reproducing asexually only need one species, and it…
