Essay on What Sets the Human Race Apart from Other Species

It all began after the Terran race of planet Earth, called humans, appeared on the Galactic stage. I was one of the many individuals who began researching them- some as a job, others out of plain curiosity. While the human species was certainly unique in culture, physiology, and ability, so was every other species. At first glance, there was nothing about them to make them stand out from the universal crowd at all. In fact, in a general sense, every single species in the galaxy was very similar

environmental issues with the past five major episodes of mass extinction. Nowadays, the world’s undergoing a sixth mass extinction period, with humans as the driving factor. In short, industrialization and globalization have ushered in a new epoch in Earth 's history. People are significantly altering the Earth’s land, ocean, atmosphere, and life in a way that “no other creature has ever managed.” A number of recent studies shed light on the devastating

has no meaning without the other. We need theory to organize and interpret facts, even to know what we can or might observe. And we need facts to validate theories and give them substance” said famous American paleontologist, biologist, and historian Stephen J. Gould. A theory may be defined as a set of assumptions, propositions or accepted facts of an idea that is suggested or presented as possibly true, but that is not known or proven to be true. A fact on the other hand may be defined as information

Gondarks The Gondark are a cruel and hostile race of insect-like creatures that dedicate most of their time and energy to becoming the greatest of every race in the galaxy. These creatures are extremely intelligent and technologically advanced. The home of the Gondark is a planet by the name of Amerath. It is the only planet in the galaxy with a blood moon rotating around its gravitational fields. The planet is covered in dark garnet red sand and is very desolate with little to no light. The lack

device or a brand new car. Humans seem to have lost a sense with reality to appreciate the things they already have. Within to how many concerns are in the human race the main problem that we have is control. We always seem to want everything. Taking a moment to understand what people see in the headlines every day is celebrity gossip, sports gossip and observing which person in social media likes somebody else’s post on Facebook. The bottom line is that humans have set themselves hiding in their

attention is on eye-catching images, instead of what is going on in the world. People care more about murders, airplane crashes, etc. instead of the exploding populations or the growth in the amount of nuclear weapons that exist. Because of this, our environment starts to deteriorate. The environment will continue to deteriorate, and such events will be out of control until the human race realizes just how selectively the environment persuades the human mind, and how the biological and cultural history

would “make these rods different from one another, like our digits” (Coyne, 2010 p. 57), the outcome was to the better extreme, “not only did the rods end up looking different from one another, they responded to Sonic hedgehog, much like fingers do. This result according to Coyne (2010) meant, “all appendages, whether they are fins or limbs, are built by similar kinds of genes” (p. 58). Moving forward with selection, it can be noted how populations of species change over time in response to biotic

​The ideas in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein endorse the concept of man’s place in nature and contradict the ideas found in On the Origin of Species and The Descent of Man by Charles Darwin.  Although Frankenstein was written nearly 40 years before Darwin’s theories, the evidence of Darwinism can be found throughout the works.  In Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein encompasses a strong desire to be educated in science that he would become fully enthralled in his learning.  Charles Darwin had an equal

In the year of 1816, many parts of the world were suffering from a mysterious black smog that coated the sky and brought on severe climate change. It was during this dark year that Lord Byron wrote his apocalyptic poem, “Darkness” (Lebovic 9). The poem is presented by a pained narrator describing the end of the world. This poem is expressed in a depressing tone and full of destructive imagery that successfully captures the dark nature of the poem. The entirety of the poem trails a series of events

Animal Extinction and its Effects on the Human Race Animal extinction is a tremendous problem in our society. Every year, more and more animals are going extinct. If we don’t do something to stop it, we could see a massive animal extinction in our lifetime. Many people believe the extinction is irrelevant to human life. They are wrong. Every species in our universe is part of a web. If one specie on the web goes the whole thing slowly starts to fall apart, humans included (Bove). We live in a magnificent
