Humanization Vs Darwin's Theory

1175 Words5 Pages

1. Humanization vs. Hominization: a. Compare and contrast Lamarck’s and Darwin’s explanation of the process of evolution of the species. [Criterion A] Lamarck believed that if your body changed in order to adapt then those features would be inherited into your biological children. Darwin believed that all species develop through a process of natural selection called the “survival of the fittest” which states that some traits that help organisms compete, survive and reproduce are most likely going to be the ones passed onto the next generations. These two theories complement each other because if your body adapts in order to survive and live a better life then those changes will probably be the ones that outlive other traits. Lamarck’s theory …show more content…

Personally, I can't really find anything wrong with this theory other than the fact that many scientists have proven that some of the features that are used to prove the Darwinian theory of evolution have been proven to be thanks to random mutation and radioactive changes which would challenge the idea that some current traits are the result of the “filtration” of some original characteristics. b. Explain the difference between hominization and humanization [Criterion A] Hominization is the belief that human beings went through a process of evolution in which we became from another animal throughout time and space, it uses a science based approach. Humanization on the other side is the idea that humans as a species just became what we are without going through a process of evolution, it's the belief that we were just created, humanization uses a more cultural/spiritual based …show more content…

Ecological disequilibrium (non-human species) iii. Regulation for consumers (labeling and patenting) iv. Human germline/gene pool (Human genome as a patrimony) v. Editing for enhancement (non-therapeutic uses) vi. Animal chimeras for organ transplantation (moral status of non-human animals) 3. Inquiry Unit a. Formulate two different inquiry questions for your assigned issue (One could be the inquiry unit from your group, so the other can be a question that you individually wonder about). [Criterion B] i. To what extent are genetically modified chimeras for organ replication and harvesting more or less important than domestic animals? ii. To what extent would an animal still be considered an animal of some certain species if most of its organs are genetically modified to replicate a human’s? b. Justify the relevance of the inquiry question that your group formulated. [Criteria B] c. Answer the question as a personal provisional stance (Answer as you, yourself, actually think about this issue). [Criterion D] d. Answer the question as a hypothesis (Answer with what you think that the people that you are going to interview are going to answer) [This, obviously, must be done before starting the interviews.] [Criterion

Part I Which of the concepts in these chapters was the most difficult for you? In 5-7 sentences, explain what you think you understand and ask 2-3 questions about things you know you don 't understand. Standard error of the mean I read the section on standard error of the mean (SEM) three times and unfortunately, this concept is difficult for me to understand. I do understand that the standard error of the mean is the standard deviation of a sampling distribution of means. I understand how to calculate the SEM (simply divide the standard deviation of the sample by the square root of the sample size minus one).

Darwin starts his argument by stating how closely similar certain animals and humans are formed or how humans and these “lower animals” develop over time physically and mentally. Then states how similar humans and the “lower animals” are birthed. He also makes that point of how man and these other animals have a similar structure in bodily systems such as the digestive system. Darwin then makes the point how humans are not immune to the natural selection which he sees as evidence that humans have evolved just like other creatures. Darwin even goes into a personal experience of his encounter with the Fuegians a people group who were not cultured and lived like “barbarians in terms of civilizations of the day.

The articles “Patenting Life” and “Decoding the Use of Gene Patents” are both very interesting for, both deal with the outcomes of using gene patents. Although, the article “Patenting life” involves the cons of gene patenting, the article “Decoding the Use of Gene Patents” demonstrates the pros of using this technique. These topics are seen from two different points of view; they are written by two different men. The author of “Patenting Life” is Michael Crichton, a author, critic, and film producer that earned his degree from Harvard Medical School. On the other hand, John E. Calfee the author of “Decoding the Use of Gene Patents” ,a resident scholar, staff economist and manager.

Critical thinking questions: physical anthropology textbook 1. Given that you’ve only just been introduced to the field of physical anthropology, why do you think subjects such as skeletal anatomy, genetics, nonhuman primate behavior, and human evolution are integrated into a discussion of what it means to be human? The study of physical anthropology integrates the subjects of skeletal anatomy, genetics, nonhuman primate behavior, and human evolution because anthropologists look to the fossilized remains of hominins to see what their environments were like and what they ate. In addition to these sub fields, anthropologists look to skeletal anatomy to see any evolutionary change or if the hominin had died from any diseases and how old and tall

With humans evolving from primates, there is no logical reason why we see ourselves as a higher being than our pre evolved selves. Primates should have legal representation when it comes to events that are either caused by them, or could affect them. Primates, like humans, have a capacity to suffer, because of this they should live in a world where they do not have to feel unnecessary pain. The science of paleontology is the scientific study of human evolution.

Driverless cars are a good idea, imagine laying back while your car drives to your destination. They come with benefits but other might say risks can be possible, but mostly a good idea. First driverless taxis can be cheaper than regular taxis and reduce the number of privately own cars.(Tribune News Service) The author also mentions this in his essay. It would be easy to order a taxi with an app.

Introduction The theory of evolution has been discussed, evaluated, and researched many times since the theory was first brought to light. Darwin’s theory of evolution is said to be divided into two parts, common decent and natural selection (Bouzat, 2014). Many research papers agreeing with Darwin’s theory comment on the diversity of a species and how they have descended from one common ancestor. Natural selection is a process in which species that are better adapted to the environment tend to survive and reproduce (Dictonary.com).

Introduction Cloning is the processes that are used in order to generate exact genetic makeup of a cell, tissue, or organism. The term clone refers to the copied material with the same genetic makeup of the original. According to the definition by National Genome Research Institute (NIH) cloning can be differentiated into three types, those are: 1. Gene cloning, which creates copies of genes or segments of DNA. 2.

Most people in our society, no matter what level of education that they may have, have heard of the cloning, specifically the cloning of Dolly the lamb, and have some notions regarding the idea of cloning humans. "The successes in animal cloning suggest to some that the technology has matured sufficiently to justify its application to human cloning" (Jaenisch et al.). However, not every agrees that human cloning is a something that should be put into practice (Hoskins). There generally seem to be two basic divisions on this issue: those who find it inappropriate and unethical, and those who find it a reasonable and necessary step in the progression of scientific research (Lustig).

Editing of the human genome in the past has been only a sight seen in dystopia works such as Brave New World. Now, genetic enhancement is a prevalent today and people are beginning to realize the issues that can arise from creating these designer babies. Gene editing can be helpful to eradicate life changing disabilities. Yet, the term disability does not correctly label these differently abled people, as the idea of what is considered disabled has changed overtime. To fully understand the consequences and implications of genetic selection and enhancement of human embryos, society must mature and declare lines of what is and is not ethically moral.

Throughout moral, humanistic, and social perspectives animal testing is beneficial for medical evolution. Animals ' rights are of less moral worth than human rights. Humans are complex beings with large well developed brains, which form sizeable social groups, have significant ability to communicate with one another, and possess desires, preferences and interests about the world. Humans have an awareness of their own existence and mortality, and as such are beings worthy of moral consideration. According to Pycroft (2011), “Without access to live organisms we would know far less bout the function of the cardiovascular, how digestion works…
