Genus College Essays Samples For Students

Human beings are believed to have evolved from apes, nonhuman and human like forms. Genetically human beings are linked to have evolved from the great ape. The earliest fossils that are considered to be the remains of human beings are the genus of australopithecines which are dated 4 million years ago and from australopithecines now came the genus homo. Genus homo evolved from australopithecine ancestors. Creationists have argued that australopithecines belong to the genus homo because of the similarities they share with them. There are four ways in determining whether a fossil is of that of an australopithecine and not ...

It is shared with primates, uniquely human and genius homoAll shared have a form of communication; primates actually are the species that look like man for example chimpanzees and gorillas. They use symbols to communicate. The Japanese macaques had the ability to pass knowledge for example in communication, learning tricks for survival among others. 2. Fire.
It is used and shared with all hominines, Shared with Genus Homo and Uniquely Human. Primates have a flat face and four limbs and a given dental formulae in relation to the factor; fire, the used fire to get warm for example the homo sapiens, ...

A Previously unknown species of hominins, Homo Naledi was discovered as recently as 2013, in the Dinaledi Chamber of the Rising Star cave system. Researchers found an extensive collection of fossils, belonging to 15 individuals of the same species. When examined, researchers found that the individuals belonged to a previously unknown species, because their morphology was different than that of other known species of primates. In their description, Berger et al. found that the hominin has unique cranial morphology, although closely related to other species of hominins, human-like adaptations of the hand and wrist, and humanlike foot and limb ...

Identification of each individual from the massive inventory of living organisms requires appropriate classification system. This system allows not only identification of all specimens that are already collected, but also allows identification of the newly discovered organisms in the future. The classification system is robustly based on science and logic, so this system is universally applicable.
The classification system starts by grouping the specimens into two major categories namely animals and plants. In general, animals are grouped by the presence of appendages that implies the ability to move on their own while plants are grouped together based on ...

Very often people ask themselves why we think, how we think, what is the proper way and concepts of right thinking. These and many other important questions about human ability of thinking discussed philosophers from the moment of appearance of philosophy in VII century B.C. It is fascinating for all the creatures how humans can think, moreover how human mind can reach and find such unbelievable and logical ideas. Nevertheless, to have ability to analyze properly everything that is happening around us people must use laws of thinking. In other words, to eliminate all the ambiguous ideas that appear ...

Evolution involves the change of inherited characteristics of biological populations in successive generations. The process give rise to different levels of organization and diversity that includes changes in DNA, species, molecular formations, and the basic proteins forming the organism. Human evolution has been a major subject both in history and biology. Many theories have been advance explaining the origin of man on earth. The most prominent of the theories is the Darwin’s Theory on human evolution.
Darwin theory of evolution is based on natural selection. The theory explains how the environmental factors and other factors interact to favor ...

The gradual change in human structure, genetic composition, and anatomy over a period of time is called human evolution. The process of evolution dates back to six million years ago when the ancestors of modern human beings underwent simultaneous and gradual body changes. These changes were passed from one generation to another coupled with modifications. Modifications in genetic structure come by as a result of adaptations. Organisms usually undergo adaptations to help them reproduce or survive certain conditions in their habitat. Individuals inherit the most desirable characteristics from their ancestors that enable them survive and reproduce successfully. Those who ...

Dr. Victor Babes and discovery of Babesiosis

Babesiosis also known as piroplasmosis is a tick- borne disease, which is an emerging intra- erythrocytic parasitic infection in human. The parasite first known to affect only cattle but later was found in other mammals as well. The parasite was later found to affect humans as well. The severity of the disease caused by this parasite can range from mild- to moderate- to severe, i.e., causing death by organ failure. Till date approximately 100 species of the Babesia genus has been identified yet only a few has been suggested to be pathogenic in humans. The symptoms more or less ...

Distinction among Candida species
The five species from Candida genera that possess specific medical significance include Candida albicans, C tropicalis, C. galbrata, C. krusei and C. parapsilosis. Candida albicans is widely present in human host as a commensal agent that may be exogenous or endogenous and mostly lives on the skin and the human mucosae of mouth, intestinal tract, and female genital tract. Other environmental places such as surfaces of plants, soil, and water are also its habitat. The prevalence of C. krusei in candidiasis is ...

1. Introduction
This paper discusses the marriage and kinship patterns among the Ait Khebbbach tribe of south Eastern Morocco. Although the Ait Khebbach tribe is Berber, similar to all Berber-speaking tribes in Morocco, they have adopted Arab kinship patterns (Gélard 566). The Ait Kehbbach tribe was nomadic until recently and were famous for controlling the lucrative transsaharan route from Morocco to Mali (Gélard 566). The specific family discussed in this paper, the Al Hammad family, is not that of the author, but of a friend. The names have been changed to protect confidentiality. The family was chosen ...

The field of microbiology was very limited until the discovery of the microscope, though it did exist in a very practical sense. Though scientists were ultimately wrong about what actually carried and transmitted the plague, for example, they were correct in hypothesizing that it came from an outside source. Between then and now, the microscope was developed, and has been improved upon more and more. Now we have a great classification scheme for prokaryotes (assuming bacteria). It follows the standard domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. The standard for most eukaryotes is also the same for ...

Aquinas provides five arguments to prove the existence of god. He gives his first argument with motion. He says that the senses of the human beings testify that many of the things are in motion. Objects move when their potential motion transforms into real motion. An actual motion can only convert the mentioned potential motion. A thing cannot be both at the same time. Thus, a thing cannot move on its own. Then, it is sure that something else is moving things. It is impossible for the sequence of motion to go on ad infinitum. Thus, the mover who is ...

1. Introduction
Smallpox is a viral disease that causes pus-filled boils on the dermis. It looks similar to chickenpox, but has certain characteristic differences. Unlike chickenpox, smallpox is lethal in 30% of the cases and leaves the victim with disfiguring scars and/or blindness. Smallpox has now been eradicated through aggressive vaccination. The last case was reported in Somalia in the late 1970’s. After 2 years of worldwide surveillance, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that the disease had been eradicated.
2. Causative agent
Smallpox is caused by the Variola virus, which belongs to the Orthopoxvirus genus. ...

With reference to Biological studies, homology is the presence of shared pedigree between living organisms in terms of evolution. The homology might be in terms of genetical constitution, or physical constitution, to name a few. Here, I have described the evolutionary homology between various phyla supporting the description with a phylogenetic tree.

Genetic code is the combination of DNA and RNA sequences that constitute the amino acid sequences used in the synthesis of an organism's proteins. It is the biochemical basis of heredity and generally, protein coding amino acids is very similar in all eukaryotes and prokaryotes. The principle differences occur ...

Introduction

African trypanosomiasis or simply sleeping sickness is a vector-borne parasitic disease. It is also abbreviated as HAT, which stands for Human African trypanosomiasis. Sleeping sickness has two forms, depending on the type of the parasite that caused the infection (WHO, 2014).
The first type is Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. It is found in 24 countries in west and central Africa. It accounts for over 98% of the reported cases. It is possible for someone to be infected with this type of the sleeping sickness for long durations without major signs or symptoms. When major symptoms do emerge, the patient would ...

Microbiology Lab

Abstract
This laboratory report tries to recognize an unknown bacterial species. The Gram stain disclosed bacteria to be both gram-negative and positive and via microscopy it confirmed to be rod and cocci respectively. Now two different bacteria were on the agar. One was a coliform and other a non coliform. The bacteria were exposed to all essential microbiological techniques employed to recognize an unknown bacterial species. The unknown comprised about 1% of the total bacterial flora of humans and even most of the warm-blooded animals. The bacteria are the most extensively studied prokaryotic organism, and an essential species in the ...

Human intelligence is a vital factor on in the study of the evolution. It entails the common mental capability that involves the ability to reason, solve problems, plan, think abstractly and learn quickly. Generally, intelligence is an overall term that describes a variety of interrelated mental abilities. Several theories have been postulated to explain the evolution of human intelligence. The theories are closely tied to the evolving of the human brain and development of human language.
Intelligence interpretation and perception is diverse and varies relatively with scenarios presented. Recognition of intelligence is not well elaborate. Many scholars agree that recognizing ...
