Mueller's Shared Evolutionary Analysis

321 Words2 Pages

Mueller explores three different aspects of humanity 's shared evolutionary timeline. In the beginning we all started out as animals, evolving from one species to another. A time when “the bones on our arms were shaped like zithers”, a time “before we had lungs” (Mueller 8-11). In this section Mueller connects to the ideas of instinct, and unconscious thought processes. According to her, “our children believe they can fly” because of our retain memories of flying and soaring through the sky. However, as evolution, and our biology progressed, we lost those animal traits “and learned to speak” (6-16). The second stage to Mueller’s model can be termed the historical generation, as it seems to span a time frame from early caveman to ancient civilizations

  • A Rhetorical Analysis Of Nonmoral Nature By Stephen Gould

    886 Words  | 4 Pages

    Although unusual for his time, Darwin’s idea that nature obeys no moral laws gradually grew more and more prominent as further discoveries were made supporting an evolutionary history of the earth. This objective view of nature, Gould notes, resolves any cognitive dissonance created by a religious perspective— if nature is not constrained by human or even divine morals, it is unsurprising that humans are able to find evil in its ways. No longer blinded by faith that everything in nature exists for a godly purpose, Gould claims that an individual who looks at nature objectively can learn from its successes and

Now, I argue, that man vs. self conflict is also greater than man vs. man too. For example, John Fitzgerald can attack Glass or Glass’s son, Hawk, but these conflicts do not compare to the battles that goes on in Glass’s mind. I argue, that the man vs. nature conflict between Glass and the bear, the man vs. man conflicts between Glass and Fitzgerald, and the man vs. nature conflicts between Glass and the elements did not mark the end Hugh Glass.

    Thus, it proves itself as legitimate by conforming to its own process and establishes its clear, lasting impact on the fields it touched. In fact, Fuller’s organization of his presentation of evolution lends credence to the theory itself for this reason, making the layout of his book incredibly effective in substantiating its central claim. Additionally, his framework offers him some leeway in creating a narrative worth consumption; by using this outline, he is able to write a story rather than just compile a list of bland facts as many less effective historical writings often

Based on the study, the boy who answered Socrates’ questions correctly without learning about the subject seems to have basic innate knowledge about math in his genes. The study, with scientific evidences, clearly indicates that some of basic knowledge is inscribed in genes that humans are born with, and consequently, I

  • Moral Status Of Animals Essay

    1707 Words  | 7 Pages

    In this essay, I shall contend that there are two components which are key to determining the moral status of animals – both human and non-human. Firstly, sentience, which is the capacity to experience things such as pain and pleasure. And Secondly, self-consciousness, which is having the mental ability to conceive of oneself as a distinct, individual entity, who existed in the past and who will exist in the future. It is these two capacities, and the distinction between them, that are significant when considering the moral status of an animal. Importantly, this cuts across species lines, and does not, due to fact of species membership, automatically accord humans a higher moral status over all other species of animal.

  • Charles Darwin Research Paper

    Over the many years that Charles Darwin spent developing his theory of descent with modification, a great span of individuals influenced his ideas, however I argue that none were more fundamental to the development of his theory than the works and BLAB of William Paley, Charles Lyell, and Thomas Malthus. William Paley’s Natural Theology which was centered on a argument of perfect design from a divine Creator. The idea of physical traits existing for a set function was integral to Darwin’s theory persisting through over twenty years of developing his theory. Natural theology at the time maintained an important connection between science and religion, that unified Darwin’s curiosity of the natural world and his Anglican faith (149). Later in his life Darwin began to see issues with “the assumption [by natural theology] that each species was perfectly adapted to its environment” (151), during his travels he had seen seemingly identical environments with completely different flora and fauna (151).

  • The Measure Of The Theory Of Evolution By Natural Selection

    879 Words  | 4 Pages

    Introduction Evolution is the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of earth. The theory of evolution by natural selection, first made or talked about in Darwin's book "On the Origin of Species" in 1859, which is the process by which organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable physical or behavioral traits. Two very important scientists, Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel built up the evolutionary thought laid by Lamarck; using their ecological knowledge and worldly experience, they slowly start to develop the theory of evolution. The evidence we have in biology today to prove the theory of evolution are: 1. Species share similarities
