Biological factors are something that contributes hugely to the formation and maintenance of relationships- whether it is romantic, friendly or family related. Many researchers have conducted studies in which they have attempted to try and explain the link between biological factors and human relationships. I am going to specifically focus on Bowlby’s study on the role of hormones in bonding, Buss’ study on women jealousy and its relation to estrogen levels, Fishers study on the brain and its role…

The use of human biological remains can tell us quite a lot about how past civilizations lived. One is able to deduce from the findings whether groups of people were transient or stationary by examining findings from a midden. Refuse stashes also tell us much of what a specific group consumes in terms of diet or housing materials. One is able to discover how long ago an individual lived by using dating measurements such as radio carbon dating or argon dating. The use of human biological remains is…

because I want to do a research on how human mind perceives things as it happens, and the kinds of role that perceptions play in human mind. Perception of things cannot be true at all the time. It might be illusional. Perception of a certain element/event of life is a natural cause. It is an instantaneous action inside the brain’s functional parts. Consequently, it gives awareness or consciousness to the mind. The topic is specifically relevant today because perception is a natural cause, it cannot be…

Human conduct is impacted both by the genes that people acquire and nature in which they live. With the critical advances in learning of hereditary genes and distribution of the draft succession of the human genome, the concentration of research has moved by and by towards understanding the biological contribution to behavior A few scientists are endeavoring to find particular genes, or groups of genes, connected with behavioral characteristics and to comprehend the unpredictable relationship amongst…

separates us in greater or lesser degree of species that are genetically closer to us as humans. However, science through observations, experiments and studies has shown that humans and primates share many similarities; both from the physical point of view and from an emotional perspective. Many biological traits, as well as emotions and some communicative behaviors are common and particularly relevant between humans and great apes, which, of all the members of the animal Kingdom, are our closest relatives…

Biology, genetic engineering, research, humans and animals all have one thing in common; they all will potentially start the spread of the worst viral disease known to humanity. AIDS, a viral disease of the human, is spreading rapidly across the world. Also, parasites, rabies, and toxoplasma gondii are all potential factors in the human body takeover. Zombie films today help show how the world will be when this happens. Blood, saliva, and biting will all be known as curse words to society. Society…

I strive to enhance the quality of human life through sound investigation and precise medical judgement. My earliest influence in the medical field stemmed from frequent visits to Children’s Hospital of Cincinnati diagnosed with chronic asthma. Fortunately, my unsolicited visits to the hospital opened a faucet of interest in medicine. I am fascinated by the human body and how the body responds in a variety of induced unfavorable conditions. With much consideration and educational preparation I have…

The human society is a biological miracle. Humans have developed and changed over time to not only withstand forces of nature such as disease, and natural disasters; but have developed the knowledge and technology to overcome issues like transportation, and famine. With the constant unwavering success of the human society, and the lack of competition to maintain top position of the global food chain, humans have become the most stable species on the planet. However, being the most stable species…

The use of human biological material (HBM) has been a vital part scientific research. Human biological samples are samples of blood, DNA, organ and tissue that are commonly obtained through surgical procedures or through direct donation by an individual. Research using HBM has led to the diagnosis and treatment of disease ranging from cancer to heart disease, diabetes and stroke. Many ethical concerns have risen over time with how human biological materials are obtained and utilized. The ultimate…
