Evolutionary developmental biology faces reciprocal paradoxes: the conservation of similar developmental genetic toolkits despite a diversity of life forms, and the inverse paradox — the ...

and Evolution Covers principles of ecology and organismal biology, using the theme of physiological ecology and adaptations. This course will emphasize biodiversity, scientific method, experimental ...

Human biology is the study of all aspects of the human organism including evolution, genetics, ecology, anatomy and physiology, development, anthropology, and nutrition, among others. A deep ...

Two fossils named Ardi and Lucy provide evidence for human evolution. Both were found in Africa. Ardi is a female human-like fossilised skeleton that dates from 4.4 million years ago. Ardi's bones ...

For the past 150 years, scientists and laypeople alike have accepted a “savanna” scenario of human evolution. The theory, primarily based on fossil evidence, suggests that because our ancestral ape ...
