For my final paper for this class I will be going over and portraying the behavior of non-human primate and human primate in the literature and movies we went over, compared to the evolutionary understandings of primate behavior. Throughout this class we studied and compared the different primates, including human and non-humans. According to the Wikipedia, “The primate lineage is thought to go back at least 65 million years ago.” with that one could say that research on non-human and human primate
I took it because I found it to be very interesting. From learning all these different types of primates, from non-human to human primates, to even developing a better understanding of the evolution of primates and primate behavior. For my final paper, I will be going over and portraying the behavior of non-human primate and human primate. I will be comparing the primates behavior seen over the movies and literatures that we were assigned, to the understandings of evolution. Being able to learn
have been fairly recent clarifications on each theory, which helped to properly progress evidence for both in the right direction. However, there is not a firm conclusion to which theory is full proof in determining the origins of Homo sapiens. This paper will discuss the Out of Africa and multiregional theories in relation to modern human origin, along with providing evidence for both to determine if one theory is more valid than the other. Moreover, the Out of Africa theory started with William W
n.d. Web. 11 Apr. 2015. Evolution is the reason there is change in the genetic makeup of a population, the reason organisms are linked by common ancestors, and evolution is still happening today because of the constant change in environment. This paper focuses on these subjects within evolution and will explore all areas of the process of evolution that creates diversity and unity in life. One key component of evolution is natural selection. Natural selection is a theory, first presented by Charles
Evolution of Live Birth in Mammals The development of placental aspects that are present in mammals today have evolved over time from their ancestors allowing mammals the adaptation of giving live birth to their offspring. Mammals are endothermic amniotes; they maintain their own body temperature and they produce an amniotic membrane around their fetus. Reptiles and birds are also amniotes but mammals differ from them because they are endothermic, have a neocortex, hair, three middle ear bones, and
Abstract The research question that I chose to investigate was: Is it possible for mermaids to exist? I chose to do this because there seems to have been a lot of different controversies on the topic before the semester started. I am supporting the claim that it is possible for mermaids to exist. The main reasons for supporting the claim, is because there are similarities in humans and aquatic mammals, there is a gap in the evolutionary fossil record, and there are mysterious findings and recordings
of squiggles which to you represented Jackson Pollock's painting, Number 1, 1948. You wrote the word entropy on the upper left hand corner of the page. On the bottom right hand side you wrote, Creativity is based on randomness and chance. This paper is, in part, an exploration of the pictures and words that we place in notebooks; it is an investigation of the human fixation with the creation of symbols via art and writing. But is also about how the symbols drawn in one's
by a society as to where we came from. The science of paleoanthropology, which also tries to create a narrative about how humans came to be, is deeply technical. Paleoantropology is the science of the evolution of humans, and it is the base of all research in that field. Humans have undergone many different changes during the last hundred million years, and it is

Quantifying diversification dynamics in Chameleons The objective of this research is to investigate diversification rate shifts to see if there was a higher speciation rate in chameleons once they dispersed from Africa to Madagascar. My phylogenetic tree was built from 6-genes, multiple nuclear and mitochondrial markers and 174 taxa, it represents over eighty-three percent chameleon species. Using three different reconstruction methods, Bayesian and likelihood approaches it was seen that the family
