101 Taxonomy - www.101science.com Genus, in biology, category of classification of living things; specifically, a group of species (see Species and Speciation) closely related in structure and evolutionary origin. Classification, in biology, identification, naming, and grouping of organisms into a formal system based on similarities such as internal and external anatomy, physiological functions, genetic makeup, or evolutionary history. New molecular biology techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction, which permits the easy analysis and comparison of DNA structures, enabled American microbiologist Carl Woese to determine that a group of organisms formerly classified as bacteria actually belong to a separate taxon. www.101science.com /Taxonomy.htm   (254 words)

Category:Evolutionary biology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The main article for this category is Evolutionary biology.

Thomson ISI - Science Citation Index Expanded Evolutionary Biology covers resources concerning the molecular, natural selection, and population mechanisms of evolution; the evolution of species and related groups; the classification of organisms based on evolutionary relationships; and the biology and ecology of extinct organisms. The category is distinguishable from Biochemistry & Molecular Biology by its specific emphasis on the gene as a single functional unit, and on the gene's effect on the organism as a whole. Developmental Biology includes resources focused on the specific mechanisms of cell, tissue, and organism development, as well as gametogenesis, fertilization, biochemistry and molecular genetic control of development, cell biology of gametes and zygotes, and embryology. www.isinet.com /journals/scope/scope_scie.html   (85 words)

101 Taxonomy - www.101science.com Phylum, in biology, major category, or taxon, of organisms with a common design or organization. Classification, in biology, identification, naming, and grouping of organisms into a formal system based on similarities such as internal and external anatomy, physiological functions, genetic makeup, or evolutionary history. A phylum is part of the hierarchy of classification of organisms. www.101science.com /Taxonomy.htm   (85 words)

Descent of Man Theory: Disproved by Molecular Biology [Free Republic] In fact, the differences between modern humans and Neanderthals were so great that calculations indicated that the last common ancestor (according to evolutionary theory) must have existed 550,000 to 690,000 years ago (first study) and 365,000 to 853,000 years ago (second study). There are two currently popular theories of human evolution 1) a single recent appearance of modern humans and 2) the multiregional model, which states that modern humans evolved simultaneously on different continents. These studies, nicknamed the "Eve theory," suggested that the last common ancestor of modern man (actually women) appeared within the last 200,000 years (12-15), much more recently than previously thought. www.freerepublic.com /forum/a3b47d7b94f92.htm   (10268 words)

Kansas Science Standards Their activities are murderous attempts to use evolutionary biology as "proof" that people are not all created equal,(26) and therefore, not entitled to the right to life,(27) or to freedom from human experimentation.(28) Eugenics succeeds by carefully denying altogether the "personhood" of some people, such as the aborted unborn and corporate-owned human embryos. They teach the beliefs of Huxley and other eugenicists that that science is "unified" in evolutionary biology(61)---including physics, chemistry, earth and space science and even health--- while repeatedly teaching school children a psychology of "scarcity" during the thirteen-year curriculum(62) Kindergarten through Grade 12. Evolution is a "unifying concept" in all levels, to be taught under categories entitled "Life Sciences" and "Earth and Space Science." Population studies are taught in all grade levels under categories entitled "Science in Personal and Social Perspectives." Heredity is taught from grade level 5 through 12 under the category "Life Sciences." www.errantskeptics.org /Kansas_Science_Standards.htm   (2701 words)

Encyclopedia: Adaptation Category: Evolutionary biology A spandrel is originally a term from Architecture, but has more recently been given an analogous meaning in Evolutionary biology. Maladaptation is an adaptation that is (or has become) less helpful than harmful. Acclimation is a change occurring in an individual as a result to prolonged exposure of a particular environmental condition, such as a horse shedding its winter coat to produce a lighter summer coat. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Adaptation   (940 words)

Anthropology The objective of the graduate program in biological anthropology is to provide the PhD candidate with comprehensive training in biological anthropology, within the broader field of anthropology, and evolutionary biology, as well as specialization in a particular research area. In the latter category, serious consideration should be given to taking courses outside the Department of Anthropology in fields related to the student's domain(s) of interest (e.g., Earth and Planetary Sciences, Biology, Near Eastern Studies, Classical Archaeology, History, Chemistry, Modern or Ancient Languages, etc.). In addition to its distinguished collections, the Peabody Museum houses the anthropology department which has laboratory facilities in genetics, paleontology, skeletal biology, reproductive ecology, and primatology. www.gsas.harvard.edu /programs/degree/anthro.html   (6080 words)

EUROPE: Western / Ancient Greece / Centaur Mythology This is an odd, fascinating little page, "The Centaur of Vollos," part serious, part tongue-in-cheek, from Dr. Neil Greenberg, chair of the department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where a "centaur" has been reconstructed for display in the university library. When Chiron was discovered to have company, in the early 1990's, this new category was given a name: The Centaurs. Chiron is a major key to understanding, not only our solar system (in astronomy), but healing and wholemaking (in astrology.) It was discovered in 1977, and was so different from anything else ever found that a whole new category had to be invented for it. www.mythinglinks.org /euro~west~greece~Centaurs.html   (2869 words)

DARWINISM: SCIENCE OR PHILOSOPHY? Chapter 1 Grasse argued that, due to their uncompromising commitment to materialism, the Darwinists who dominate evolutionary biology have failed to define properly the problem they were trying to solve. Grasse used the same term to refer to something very different, a poorly understood process of transformation in which one general category (like reptiles) gave rise to another (like mammals), guided by mysterious "internal factors" that seemed to compel many individual lines of descent to converge at a new form of life. If Darwinists want to avoid the situation predicted by Grasse, where biology yields to metaphysics, I suggest that they agree to put Theological speculations aside. www.leaderu.com /orgs/fte/darwinism/chapter1.html   (5170 words)

Intersections Between Pragmatist and Continental Feminism Biology and evolutionary theory teach that plants and non-human animals cannot live apart from the environments that feed and sustain them. Contemporary pragmatist feminist and continental feminist philosophers generally agree with this claim, rejecting the notion that the category of woman (and man) and the conception of femininity (and masculinity) are simply given in nature. Pragmatist and continental philosophy thus presents feminists with a variety of resources for thinking through the benefits and dangers of different conceptions of the Other, including the role of the Other in the constitution of both self and community. plato.stanford.edu /entries/femapproach-prag-cont   (6255 words)

Basic Cancer Programs Schwemmler’s unique take on evolutionary biology is centered on the notion of symbiogenesis: symbiosis between organisms as a key mechanism of the creation of new biological form. The role of symbiogenesis in the evolution of species falls into the “very hard to test” category. On the other hand, Schwemmler’s discussion of symbiogenesis in the evolution of the leafhopper – an insect he spent much of his career studying – is significantly more convincing. goertzel.org /papers/CancerPrograms.htm   (4942 words)

Leslie White White coined this term because he believed that cultures should not be explained in terms of psychology, biology, or physiology, but rather in its own category. He was influenced by the Marxian economic theory, Darwinian evolutionary theory, and by what he learned while attending school and participating in fieldwork. Early on, White did fieldwork in the American southwest with the Keresan Pueblo Indians. www.mnsu.edu /emuseum/information/biography/uvwxyz/white_leslie.html   (4942 words)

World From Within: Triumph and Failure of an Evolutionary Adaptation Discursive interaction is a process largely of assimilation, a momentary (often enduring) expansion of the personal "self" which seems to challenge the individual biology of the organism and its presumed limits. Language is a sub-category of discourse, a single peculiar manifestation of an inclination to discursive interaction which is deeply rooted in animal "behavior"... Though a reasonable case can be made that language itself is a "uniquely human" possession, we run into a logical trap when we attempt to give discourse that same unique evolutionary status. www.incywincy.com /default?catid=238608&cached=www.saivo.com   (4942 words)
