Is evolution Phycology really value free?

While most people may be familiar with the evolution of species, few individuals may not know the new branch of physiology, which is known as evolutionary physiology (EP). Evolutionary biology deals with adaptation of physical parts such as limbs, tail, and organs. On one hand, evolutionary physiology deals with the evolution of human thought, behavior, and language. The subject has been faced by severe critics where people against EP believe that it has no value but entirely relies on social and cultural behaviors of human. The author of this paper champions that, EP, unlike to the biological evolution; rely ...

While constructing a road in southern England, road builders’ retrieved remains of what was later established by archaeologists to be 51 Vikings who were mass buried dating back 1000 AD. Based on the archaeological evidences, it is believed that the Vikings mostly teens in their ealy 20s were beheaded in front of spectators (Quinn 2010). Further reports stated that, they came from Scandinavia with one man travelling from north of the Arctic Circle. Archaeologists believe that these is the biggest mass grave of foreigners ever found in Britain, it is further believed that these Vikings were executed by local Anglo-Saxons ...

Evolution, in its simplest definition is “change in form over generations” (Kottak, 1991). Like all life forms, human beings undergo changes or modifications in each generation. The question of how human beings evolved has been a subject of extensive studies. There are many existing explanations about the ancestors of modern man and theories about these have developed over the years, and along with it controversies and alternate explanations. Students of the 21st century would find theories of human evolution in their textbooks and from here they would learn about Homo sapiens, homo erectus, Neanderthal man, Cro-magnon man, and many other ...

Evolution – The Reality of Existence

This paper deals with two articles and two conversational scripts, each of which tries to emphasize the predominant role and the process of evolutionary development that dates back to our ancestors, and which cascades down to our own lives and plays a role in determining our current behavior and lifestyle.
The first article titled Potential Evolutionary Role for Same-Sex Attraction (Association for Psychological Science, 2010), published in the Science Daily on Feb 4, 2010, tries to highlight the role of human evolution in promoting homosexuality amongst men. The article -- based on the research findings of two evolutionary psychologists, ...

Evolution has been defined by many a scientist, but the most notable one was Charles Darwin who formulated the famous evolutionary theory, and therefore referred to as the father of evolution. However, it is worth noting that even before Darwin, there were other theorists and scientists who had dwelt on the idea and whose thoughts could be integrated with those of Darwin to better understand the evolution. Some of these are discussed below.

Robert Hooke (1635-1703) started on the scientific note. He came up with a microscope with which he could observe some of the smallest creatures, and was the first ...

The Mediation Privilege

In this article review, I will summarize the main points of “The Mediation Privilege,” give a key analysis of the author’s main points, and personally apply the article to my own life.
In Marcia S. Cohen’s article, “The Mediation Privilege,” Cohen does a fantastic job at providing the reader a firm definition of the concept of the mediation privilege (Cohen, 2013). Specifically, Cohen defines privileged mediation as “the protection from disclosure of confidential communications in mediation (Cohen, 2013).” Cohen describes specific sections of the Uniform Mediation Act, including sections that allow ...

Animal cognition is the mental capacity of animals as well as the study of animals’ mental capacity. The study of mental capacities of animals has stemmed from comparative psychology, which includes studying the conditioning of animals and their learning. Working memory is a major executive function that makes up the cognitive system and deals with information by providing transient holding, processing as well as manipulation. The study of working memory in animals has mainly focused on spatial memory with most of the studies trying to provide a clarification for spatial memory psychological basis together with the hippocampus role.

The article’s topic talks about ways in which multiple traits undergo adaptive evolution using multiple mutations at a single gene. This is an important topic because different scientists have been coming up with varying theories regarding adaptive evolution. For example, Darwin claimed that adaptation only happens in the presence of slight successive variations. In supporting Darwin’s idea, Fisher, a scientist asserted that mutations tend to be pleiotropic in nature thus causing varying effects in relating population. Therefore, the topic is essential in assessing the effect of mutations as well as their pleiotropic effect (Linnen, Poh, Peterson, Barrett, Larson, Jensen & ...

While it appears to be an opinion article about media productions that generated specific trends about confused gender identity, sexuality or race, Wesley Morris’ New York Times article “The Year We Obsessed over Identity” raises complex social concerns and voices personal preconceptions. Morris criticizes the 21st century gender shift that saw the transformation of women in breadwinners, as portrayed in “The Intern” comedy, while also harshly rebuking the transgender phenomenon popularized across media, and the racial shedding that allows whites to turn into blacks.
The tone of the article is very condemnatory, as the author is blaming the social ...

A part of the Nova series of documentaries, Dawn of Humanity tells us an engaging story of two of the most important discoveries in recent history. Northwest of Johannesburg, in a complex of limestone caves famously known as the Cradle of Humankind, paleoanthropologists have recently found fossilized remains that could potentially reshape our understanding of human evolution and help us fill the gaps in the fossil records that support it (Dawn of Humanity).
The central character of the documentary is American paleoanthropologist Lee Rogers Berger, who we know from his Radiolab interview concerning the Taung Child, a fossil that ...

1How does monetary policy affects the economy?

There is no doubt that national monetary policies pose a great impact on the economy of any country, that is, employment, income and investment. Theories trying to explain this mainly draw their arguments from the general nominal rigidity as applied in prices and wages. It therefore means that monetary policy has an impact on the economy due to the fact that workers and firms respond to the increase in liquidity through improved production rather than increasing the prices and or wages. Notably, there is a significant disparity in decision making as far as wage setting is concerned. Most theories ...

The Neandertal type site revisited: Interdisciplinary investigations of skeletal remains from the Neander Valley, Germany

Neander Valley was an important limestone extraction site but in mid-1800s human bones were discovered during excavations. These bones were assigned to a human Neandertal 1 but the exact details of the extraction and the location remain obscure. Many years later in 1997 and 2000 excavations in this region were resumed and many new bone fragments were discovered. These bone fragments are typical as that of Neandertals and belong to at least three different individuals. AMS radiocarbon dating and mtDNA sequencing suggest that the bones are about 40,000 years old and establish the context of the humans they belong ...

This segment of mentally retarded is characteristically diagnosed with major or total inability to efficiently converse, consequently they are unable to articulate their preference to the respective caretakers (Hamilton, 2012). Hence the article compares earlier research ...

Article Review

The idea of art history represents a historical framework that is based in the inherent identity of the culture from which it is being expressed. In this way, there are numerous ways of characterizing the ways in which these various cultures can express themselves. By establishing a coherent representation of the historical importance of art in politics and culture, the establishment of this perspective is ultimately refocused into the framework from which it emerges.
In the essay “Whither Art History In a Globalizing World” by Parul Dave Mukherji discusses the subject of art history, its definition, and its place and importance ...

Introduction

In every democratic society, a country cannot survive on its own .It requires its neighboring countries to enhance its economic growth and development. To avoid conflict, all neighboring countries demarcate their borders to safeguard their resources and self-interest. Foreign policy relations enable countries to interact with each other especially in trading affairs and international policy discussions. To enhance a country’s external economies of scale dominance, it is necessary to observe the policies of other nations. Some countries advance their relations further to form a single union with common interests. For instance, United States of America was formed as a resolution of harmonious ...

New additional clues have been discovered that reignites the proposed relationship between human beings and their closest relatives, the apes (Popular Archaeology 2013). Researchers, Frans de Waal, PhD and Zanna Clay, PhD both from the Living Links Center at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center Emory University have postulated the theory supporting the linkage. From their recent study of the bonobo primates in the Democratic Republic of Congo in a sanctuary near Kinshasa, striking similarities between the emotional development of the bonobos and children were observed. From the results of the study, it became evident that the great apes had a ...

E-Governance

E-Governance: A Review
Introduction
E-governance was discussed in M. Joe Moon’s article “The Evolution of E-Government among Municipalities: Rhetoric or Relity?” and Genie N.L. Stowers’s “Issues in E-Commerce and E-Government Service Delivery.” The main point emphasized in both articles is how technology has flourished communication where discussions changed from text based to graphic-based. Stowers (2004) mentioned that the emergence of technology based communication tools allowed individual-based democratic communication to flounder. Furthermore, Moon (2002) stipulates that the move towards E-government its effectiveness, implementation and development still remains misunderstood.

Summary

In Moon’s article E-governance is defined as a ...

The article by Heyes (2012) makes significant discoveries on the cognitive abilities of humans as well as those of animals. In addition, the article provides an explanation of the similarities between the cognitive abilities of the animal as well as those of human beings. As a result, the article provides an explanation that assist understanding the minds of animals and their relation to that of human beings. Heyes uses a case study of the chimpanzees where she tries to explain the relationship between complex behavior and simple mindedness in the perspectives of associative blindness. The article provides an associative explanation, which ...

A summary of the evolution of economic:
The evolution of capitalism and socialism is based on the analysis of the largest economies in the globe. China is a model of countries that do not support capitalism for specific reasons. In the 19th century, there were capitalist developed countries as well as the non-capitalist underdeveloped countries. Following the Great Depression experience in Europe in 1920s and 1930s, the world got classified into the socialist developed countries, the capitalist developed world, and the underdeveloped world (Boettke, Coyne and Leeson, 2005).

Capitalism and Socialism throughout the 20th century:

In the early 20th century, massive criticism of capitalism over socialism ...

Emotions are mental states than take place within the mind of an organism. A human being according to various gurus in psychology is just but an advanced animal. The human being can tell good things from bad ones. Likewise, the human body can tell good feelings from the distasteful emotions. Such feelings as joy, anger and sadness can occur within a person’s psychological borders within a small span of time as long as such an individual is subjected to situations that cause such changes. The role of emotions has been successfully explained by a number of social scientists and experts of psychology. ...

It is difficult to explain a complex phenomenon such as human behavior. However, if human behavior can be observed carefully from an objective position and understood for what it is, it can be possible to adopt a more sensible explanation. Various theorists have attempted to explain human behavior through scientific approaches, and B. F Skinner is one such theorist. For Skinner, all human behavior, both internal and external, can be explained by the environmental impacts produced. In any given situation, a behavior is followed by a consequence. The behavior is most likely to be repeated in future similar situations if the consequences are ...

Introduction
