The Human Race : Dr. Samuel Miller

The book The Human Story by James C. Davis is about the way humans evolved from Homo erectus to where we are now. The book starts off by telling us how archaeologists found paintings in caves leading all the way back prehistoric times. These people were mainly from Africa and spread all across the world just because they followed herds of animals which they lived off of. They spread from Africa to Europe and Asia, from Asia they followed the herds across a land bridge to North America and all the way down to South America. They were also able to reach Australia and the island surrounding it. After a couple thousand of years they began to settle down into civilizations. These civilizations included Athens, Sparta, Sumer, Egypt, and China. We

The phrase “designer baby” was not added to the dictionary until 2004, but the idea had existed in the form of the eugenics movement since Sir Francis Galton published his book Hereditary Genius in 1869. Galton’s research suggested that intelligence is hereditary, and he believed that success is due to superior qualities that were passed down generation through generation. His research further suggested that personality traits and mental abilities were also hereditary (Plucker, 2013). Eugenics, a term coined by Galton in 1883, advocated for human breeding restrictions so as to improve the biological make-up of the human race (Steen, 1996). Technology since then has advanced greatly, and designer babies are now a very real possibility.

I, the general manager of Hiram Miller Chicago branch, am considering we should have something done with our current warehouse on Jefferson Street. The basic problem is that the 60-year-old warehouse is not capable for our daily business from many aspects any more as we move into the 21st century. Due to many limitations, the shortcomings to run that warehouse are overwhelming the advantages it remains. Small size, inefficient layout, obsolete facilities, low-tech equipments and bad working environment are dragging our company down within such an intense competition

The vet clinic was practically empty with the exception of Octavian and Dr. Jones. Octavian cleaned the waiting room thinking about Baze. He never saw Baze lose, nor had he found a question about the paranormal Baze didn't know the answer to, but after the football game he wasn't so sure. The bell on the desk rang. Glancing up Octavian saw a tall woman and a short stocky man.

“The Humans Project” is an article that reviews the works of both 28 Days Later and Children of Men; it specifically examines the roles of the black heroes in the films that go through contemporary disasters. Brown summarizes both stories and examines them in-depth. He explains to us that both films are examples of compelling dystopian literature that became famous after the 1990’s, due to the effects of neoliberal free market capitalism. Brown informs us that after the cold war and nuclear age zombie stories from our era of globalization and ecological destruction. Both films show America and Britain generated with insecure nationalism from the geopolitical shifts, which the despair in this time showed the difference from what she calls, ‘us’

Although Eugenics is seen as a negative and invalid theory for the improvement of the human race, these reproduction requirements are constant factors within sexual selection and the doctors’ recommendation of aborting a baby, proving their relevance in the survival of the human race.

The book The Human Story by James C. Davis is about the history of the human race since before history was starting to be recorded. The author did an outstanding job at portraying the world’s history from an unbiased point of view. Davis engages the reader with pungent anecdotes and clever quotes. Davis’ writing style is vivid and detailed like he had a firsthand account of the event he is talking about or if he was a grandfather telling his grandchildren a story of his own. I will give you a short summary of the book primarily towards the end so you can get a taste of what it is like to engage you in this wonderful read.

Dr. Julian Savulescu argues the origins and rationale of human moral behavior. Dr. Savulescu begins his argument with the history of human behavior, how, when competing for resources, it was much easier to kill one another than to trust. Despite the overall distrust people had for each other, humans have always been protective of their family members and close friends. That’s when Dr. Julian Savulescu mentions that humans are also more prone to empathizing with single individuals rather than groups. People want to help, but as the number of the individuals who need help increases, trust decreases.

It has been determined that we currently have over 100 ring-like structures on our planet that are meteorite impact sites. However, in the last 1,000 years, there are no known human deaths from the impact of a meteorite (Szoldra). Avoiding impacts requires the ability to better calculate statistics. To do this, astronomers need to identify as many of the near-Earth objects as possible. Most astronomers believe that the systematic approach will give us the greatest opportunity to identify the near-Earth objects that are big enough to actually cause catastrophic changes the environment of our

•     Interesting point of how the founder named the company after his father-in-law, giving honor to him who supported the business both in financial start-up and via family

William Eugene Smith was an American photographer who produced photographic projects that changed how photographs were portrayed. Rather than a photo being a photo, he told stories through his photographs, through a practice called photojournalism. His photographic projects depicted people in their everyday lives, but in different situations. The photographs he took did not hide anything that he saw from the audience no matter how graphic the scenery may appear to be. His photography methods differed from traditional methods, in that traditional photographs/photographic projects were a distortion of reality, so that it is more pleasing to the audience. Smith on the other showed what was actually going on in the world or wherever he was

Due to the large number of space exploration projects, a large belt of debris has formed that can be hazardous to other operational spacecraft. As engineers, we have an ethical responsibility to prevent pollution of Earth’s atmosphere. We have learned a hard lesson on the value of environment from right here on Earth. Trends show that the debris belt circling the Earth will only get bigger, and become more hazardous to spacecraft.

Many of Earth’s most catastrophic collisions with NEO’s happened billions of years ago. One example of a near earth object that crashed on earth is the previously mentioned 10 km (diameter) comet responsible for Chicxulub crater and the extinction of the Jurassic period. Although this happened 65 billion years ago, it drastically changed the planet and is possibly one of the reasons we exist today. A smaller (about 30m diameter) yet still powerful asteroid, Tunguska, entered the Earth’s atmosphere

Health is man’s natural condition, his birth right. It is the result of living in accordance with the natural laws pertaining to the body, mind and environment. Health is multidimensional like socio-economic, environmental, educational, nutritional, curative and preventive. W.H.O.’s Constitution (1992) defines health as, “A state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Health is important in every individual’s life and so we say “Health is Wealth”.

In his recent book, Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human (1998), Harold Bloom argues that Shakespeare’s characters provide the full measure of his continuing legacy. Shakespeare, Bloom maintains, created self-conscious characters who breathe life. Shakespeare’s characters are so alive, possess such "interiority," that they catch themselves looking at themselves. This quality is the essence of becoming human—to know we know, to be aware we are aware, to sense our own presence on the stage of life.
