Evolutionary Theory

The theory of evolution is incredibly important in the biological sciences. In fact, without evolutionary theory the whole concept of biology would not make sense to serious scientists. The evolutionary theory in biology looks at how species have evolved overtime, and the biological changes they have undergone in order to get to that point. In […]

Evolution is a fascinating process, and it really helps us understand the living world that surrounds us. We can see evolution in action almost anywhere that we look today, in fact, there is a good chance that you are evolving at this very minute, or at least carrying random DNA mutations which can be passed […]

In September, the latest Mars Rover touched down on Mars. The Curiosity rover has seemed to have one mission, and that is to find evidence that life exists or has existed at some point in time on Mars. The question on everybody’s mind however is ‘what happens if it succeeds?’ President Obama has recently stated […]

However, Scientists say this area looks like the bed of an ancient stream, and this was one of the locations where water used to flow […]

Everybody remembers the loveable Bill Nye the Science Guy right? Of course they do, he probably taught most children in America the fundamentals of science. In a video which surfaced recently on ‘Big Think’, a knowledge forum, the children’s show host spoke against the denial of evolution, and that this type of view can not […]

If Darwin’s theory of evolution is to believed, then there is absolutely no species out there that has completed its evolutionary cycle, in fact, none ever will. As a result, this means that humans are still get to evolve. Whilst we won’t know for certain what the future will bring, scientists have come up with […]

In the past it was believed that Evolution and Religion simply couldn’t co-exist as concepts. After all, evolution claims that all life on Earth descends from life. However, religion believes that life was put on this earth, particularly the human race, as a result of a higher power, a God so to speak. Despite their […]

Evolution is the changes in the genetic facets of biological populations throughout consecutive generations. The evolutionary progressions lead to diversity at all levels of biological organization, which includes individual organisms, species and molecules such as proteins and DNA. Studies have shown that life on earth started and progressed from one universal common ancestor about 3.7 […]

Many years ago, some pre-Socratic philosophers were among the first to propose that one kind of animal could come from a different animal. These include Greek philosophers such as Empedocles and Anaximander. In contrast, Aristotle had an understanding that all natural things were imperfect actualizations of varying fixed possibilities, namely species, forms or ideas. Titus […]
