he Austronesian peoples have been a source of much anthropological study, attracting the intrigue of Captain James Cook in his expeditions. The Austronesian language family is spoken by around 385 million people speaking 1200 languages, stretching from Madagascar to Rapanui- making it the fifth most spoken language family in the world (Brown, 2009). Many believe that Polynesians are descendants of Austronesians, however the origins and spread of the Austronesians are hotly debated. Several lines

the Philippines • The U.S. government were stumped with questions on deciding if the Philippines Islands should be seized or only take the port of Manila as military base leading to major debates of the situation. • According to McKinley, Filipinos were unfit for self-government and they would eventually lead into anarchy and misrule resulting the development of the peace treaty to seize the islands. • McKinley believed the Filipinos needed to be educated and uplifted meaning they needed to be

and Resident Interaction in the Galapagos Islands In the last fifteen years, the number of immigrants in the Galapagos has increased the human population on the archipelago by over 50 percent. Human interaction with this “pristine paradise” has created and exacerbated a lot of environmental, social and political issues. Tourism and inhabitation of the islands have impacted the landscape of the Galapagos in an alarming manner. The once mystical island from which Darwin got his inspiration for

This forced them to change their route and head to another island. There were many different challenges that were seen during this voyage that impacted the fluidity of the trip. When the ship was stationed in Salvador, Brazil, Darwin got into an argument about slavery with the captain who would not share his dinner

Our need for energy is constantly growing; to fill this need we have turned to inexpensive, copious, and inefficient sources of energy such as coal and oil. Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands are beginning to use renewable energy sources in an effort to protect the Galapagos from the dangers of fossil fuels. Ecuador’s and the Galapagos use of wind, solar, and biofuels in the place of fossil fuel help reduce the use of coal and oil energy in boats, cars, and generators. Ecuador and the Galapagos plans

Aside from Interstate Highway 10, which appears to run parallel to Santa Cruz river, the rest of the city is a systematic grid where majority of streets run either strictly vertically or strictly horizontally. The precision of the grid is also reflected in the titles of the streets of Tucson—both primary streets and secondary

Introduction Marine environmental landscape parameters play an important role in promoting population genetic differentiation in marine organisms (Selkoe et al., 2008). Consequently, identifying environmental parameters that promote population genetic differentiation is a major focus of study in evolutionary biology (Selkoe et al., 2008). Most research
