“What do you want to be when you grow up?” As a child, we have all been asked this question; and as unrealistic children, we all had dreams of being a superhero, princess, cowboy, or astronaut. Later on in life, as time went by, and as we became more knowledgeable, our answers became more serious. Some of us wanted to be teachers, business owners, or a veterinarian. However, I have always wanted to be a doctor, but not just any doctor. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a pediatrician. Now, half way through my junior year in high school, I have started to question the details of this career, and all the hard work it takes to become a part of the medical field.

Human evolution: the study of how and why our human ancestors changed over millions of years.

The evolution of the human species has significantly changed during the course of evolution to what is now the modern day Homo sapiens. Some of the changes that have occurred through the evolution are bipedalism, changes in body features such as brow ridges, and an increase in brain capacity.

Human beings are still very much evolving. According to recent studies, genetic changes in women over the years have decreased the age at which they birthed their first child. In one study the age decreased as much as four years from age 26 down to age 22 (Allen 2011). Another concurrent study looked at women’s physical appearance in correlation with the number of children they had. The resulting data revealed that, “stout, slightly plump” women had more children. Researchers found that these characteristics are passed on from mothers to their offspring and so forth (Harrell 2009). Therefore, as these traits are passed from generation to generation, the population grows and these characteristics become more prominent in the population. All of these findings confirm that the evolution of human beings is still very much an ongoing process.

I have always had a passion for care and a desire to work in the healthcare field. However, I gained admission into the university for Development Studies in Ghana after high school to study BS in agriculture, and then majored in animal science. It was really an interesting experience and I enjoyed working with animals and seeing how they behaved amazed me. It was a tremendous experience and it got even more exciting when I got employed in a fishery firm after school, where I got the opportunity to see different kinds of fish and how they survive when they are out of the sea. Along the line I had given up my ambition of dreaming to work with humans and in the healthcare field until I went to

Understanding human evolutions is important for identifying the stages of humanity and for understanding how our societies have developed. When most of us think about human

Evolution is the development of different kinds of living organisms which have advanced from earlier forms during the history of the Earth. In other words, small modifications have occurred by the biological traits becoming either more or less common in a population as a function resulting from the inherited traits on the differential reproductive success of organisms interacting with their environment. Human evolution is a lengthy process of change, although scientific evidence demonstrates that the physical and behavioural traits of all living humans are extremely closely related. Numerous similar and uniquely different hominid species have existed throughout evolution, leaving Homo sapiens as the only existing hominid species

“Modern Evolution” refers to any changes to humans within the past 200 000 years in this paper.

Passion is what builds people’s hopes and dreams, and helps them push their way through life. My passion is my horses and live for animals. Since I was a little girl, animals have played a considerably large part in my life. Not only because I have grown up on a farm, but also because I focused my work, hobbies, and future around them. Five-year-old me would never hesitate when people asked me what I wanted to do as an adult, I would immediately respond with, “I want to be a vet.” Now that I am an adult, this field of work still awes me. Ideally, I would go to college and get my undergraduate degree, and then continue into Veterinary Medicine. After college, I would either go directly into a clinic that has already been developed, or I would

Modern evolution is a very important process for humans to survive. Without modern evolution, humans would not be able to drink and digest milk properly as an adult. Modern evolution has made it possible for humans to outrun many deadly diseases. The question the reader should ask themselves is that if theses evolutions were not made would the human race still be

Evolution is change over time. Human evolution is a long process of change. Scientific evidence shows that our physical and behavioral traits shared everyone on this planted originated from apelike ancestors and evolved over a long period. Human evolution has been going on for over 6 million years according to scientist.

Evolution has shaped many things into the way they are today, ranging from various animals to even parasites! However, to understand this, we must know what evolution even is. Evolution is any change to the genetic composition of a population(Nova, xx). Evolution is not fixed or entirely random. Through various tools like reading and comparing genetic codes, making phylogenetic trees, and observing physical traits, exploring and finding out how homo sapiens have evolved is so interesting and easier than ever before! Homo sapiens have evolved from chimpanzees.

Humans have gone through many stages of adaptation, allowing for great expansion and our unrivaled dominance of the earth. So it could seem as though humans have reached the peak of evolutionary development. Evolution is often thought of as a natural process, and were it not for humans, this might be true. However, evolution, in the strictest sense, is a change in the genetic structure of a population (Jurmain, et al., 5). While natural selection is a major contributor to the process of evolution, humans are no longer as heavily influenced by these forces, as they once were.

What is human evolution? Human evolution refers to a process in which human beings developed both physically and emotionally throughout centuries, evolution is mainly influenced by environmental factors, and sometimes people’s diet would also interrupt the way human beings evolve. Normally, human evolves for survivals, in order to get used to the climate, it is necessary for human beings to advance. Throughout millions of years, human beings have developed from the earliest hominids discovered in South Africa to what nowadays called modern human (“Introduction to Human Evolution”).

Throughout my life, I have worked towards one goal which is to become a doctor. Medicine offers the opportunity for me to integrate different scopes of science while trying to improve human life. Medicine has intrigued me throughout all my life because it??s a never ending
