Exaptation

When looking through animal history, we humans have praised ourselves for our exceptional ability to communicate in an advanced manner. Whether we are listening or speaking, humans have crafted language into a powerful tool that is boundless and flexible against other arts. Moreover, through the perspective of building civilizations, communication has been the foundation of community. As Language is our most advanced form of communication; to what degree of value do we hold it in our society? Throughout

Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a clinical diagnosis and is a connective tissue disorder characterized by a variety of degrees of joint hypermobility, skin extensibility and tissue fragility. If you have the vascular variety of EDS there is a likely 50% chance it could be passed down from parent to child. When trying to clinically define the pain in EDS, the findings are poor. There are nine different types of EDS and each type is distinguished from others but that depends

Adaptationism is the belief that the traits seen in organisms are the results of evolution by natural selection. There are different forms of adaptationism and many different definitions as to what an adaptation is, with some believing it is impossible to test a hypothesis about an adaptation at all. This essay will look at a) how to define adaptation b) different forms of adaptationism and c) consider the different methods of testing whether a phenotype is an adaptation. There are many definitions

Adaptation in biology is when a species becomes adaptable to its environment, as a natural selection and heritage variation. Their structures, physiology, genetics, dispersal, reproduction systems, development and defensive mechanisms are part of the variation and aspects found in these species (Gittleman, 2017). There are three meanings in adaptation: 1- the physiological perception to the immediate adjustment to its environment. 2- their adaptive features of the organisms that advance their reproductive

In Industrial-Technological Disruption I tried to describe the systemic disruptions to the cycle that drives industrial-technological civilization — science inventing technologies that are engineered into industries that create new instruments for science, leading to further inventions. This cycle of escalation is impeded by counter-cyclical trends such as science experiencing model crisis, stalled technologies, andunintended consequences of engineering. Among the unintended consequences of engineering

mimic octopus that are believed to result in the unique behaviors it displays: dorsoventrally compressed (flatfish swimming), activity during daylight hours, high contrast coloration. It had been the previous assumption that flatfish swimming was an exaptation of cephalopod locomotion that the mimic octopus developed to be able to move easier after the evolution of its impressively long arms (Huffard et al., 2010). However, genetic evidence showed that the evolution of long arms and flatfish swimming

example if the risk occurs, they will help to expect what is the level of the risk on the system and what is treatment need. Then, they are record significant findings. In other word, if risk occurs, this record is helpful to review because it has exaptation solution can be implemented quickly. Finally, risk assessment is regularly reviewed if any risk occur or new functional adding. A. Risks Any system plots to risk. Therefore, the main role of system security plan identifies risks that are potentially

impossible for anything to get any better. The panglossian paradigm is a term coined by Stephen Jay Gould and Richard Lewontin to refer to the notion that everything has specifically adapted to suit specific purposes. Instead, they argue, accidents and exaptation (the use of old features for new purposes) play an important role in the process of evolution. Some other scientists however argue the implication that many (or most) adaptionists are panglossians is a straw man. Why People Believe Weird Things:

Imagine having a powerful, fantastic creature at your side who will fight for you. This became a dream for many kids with the card game, tv show and video game in the world of Pokemon. Now with Pokemon Go, anyone can join that world for free (Hook). Pokemon Go is an app for smartphones that uses GPS to allow people to go outside and find their own pokemon. No longer are people sitting on a couch inside staring at a screen, dreaming of a different world. Now they can go outside, get some exercise

Of the many aspects distinguishing humans from other animals, language is probably the most fundamental; not only does it enable communication of ideas, opinions and emotions, it also provides us with many of the sophisticated cognitive faculties we associate with our superiority as a species. In examining the origins of language rather than attempting to determine how it functions, a more fundamental question arises of why language evolved. To investigate this question we must endeavour to find
