European countries colonized other lands in the 1500s due to dwindling natural resources and overpopulation at home. The colonization of the Americas by European powers like England, France, Portugal and Spain opened up new lands and opportunities, but it also led to the bloodiest and most horrific period in human history for indigenous peoples. The genocide of native Americans and the importation of African slaves to work on plantations, especially after native populations were decimated by disease and slavery, represented an immense human tragedy and loss of life and culture.
Colonizationpart1
Colonization involves one group taking over another's land, often through oppression, enslavement, and killing of indigenous peoples. Historically, Europeans and Americans were large colonizers, oppressing and killing many native populations. While other non-European countries also engaged in colonization, the English colonization of what is now the United States primarily involved stealing land and importing women, as African slaves were brought instead of indigenous people.

According to Maori tradition, all humans are descended from Rangi and Papa, also known as Heaven and Earth, who were originally clinging together in darkness. Rangi and Papa had six sons - Tane-Mahuta the father of forests, Tawhiri-ma-tea the father of winds and storms, Tangaroa the father of fish and reptiles, Tu-matauenga the father of fierce humans, Haumia-tikitiki the father of uncultivated food, and Rongo-ma-tane the father of cultivated food. After a battle between the sons, Tu-matauenga ate four of his brothers, sparing only Tawhiri-ma
geography isolated people
The document discusses several terms related to geography, tradition, and anthropology. It describes how geographic isolation can divide populations and cause adaptation. It also explains that traditional practices are passed down through generations and that different groups have their own traditions. The document provides an example of how the San people have been able to maintain their traditions through skills like tracking and by shifting to permanent forest settlements.
The asmat creation_story
According to Asmat tradition, Fumeripits was the first being on earth who created the first ceremonial house called a jeu. Growing tired of being alone, he carved human figures from trees and placed them in the jeu, but they did not come to life. Fumeripits then created a drum from a hollowed tree with lizard skin and, when he played it, the wooden figures came to life and began dancing - thus creating the first people of Asmat from trees.

Deforestation (1)
Deforestation and beach pollution are issues that negatively impact the environment while some people are disrespectful of nature by not properly caring for it.

Evolution by means of natural selection lab
1) Students will play a game where they use different utensils (spoon, spork, fork) as bird beaks to pick up colored beans representing insects.
2) They will test which utensil can gather the most insects. This models how bird beak adaptations lead to more or less success in finding food.
3) The activity aims to demonstrate how environmental pressures and natural selection can drive evolutionary changes in a species over multiple generations as less adapted traits die out.

This document lists the topics that have been covered so far in class: Cell Biology, Genetics, Evolution, Physiology, and Ecology. It asks what has been studied until now and provides a bulleted list of the major subject areas covered.

Genetics in biology refers to the study of genes and heredity. Genetics can be used to study human inheritance by analyzing genes and DNA that are passed down from parents to offspring. The document shows an image of human chromosomes with 22 pairs of chromosomes of varying sizes, numbers labeled on the bottom, and different colors, suggesting it is an example of how genetics can be used to study human inheritance through analyzing chromosomal makeup.
Week4 warmup
The central dogma of molecular biology describes how genetic information flows from DNA to RNA to protein. DNA contains the genetic code which is transcribed into RNA. The RNA then translates the genetic code into proteins by following the sequence of bases in the DNA. While information normally flows from DNA to RNA to protein, some retroviruses can reverse this flow of genetic information from RNA back to DNA.

DNA stores genetic information and can be transmitted and copied down from one generation to the next. It contains the instructions that make each species unique and allows characteristics to be passed down from parents to offspring. DNA is found in almost all living organisms, including humans, and is the molecule that encodes the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and many viruses.
Warmup week2
This document is a warm up quiz on basic biology concepts. It contains 4 multiple choice questions that assess knowledge of where DNA is located in different cell types, the main enzyme involved in linking nucleotides to form DNA, and identifies the process shown in a diagram as DNA replication.
Karyotype lab
The student's objective was to complete a karyotype lab by cutting out paper chromosomes and arranging them on a sheet. However, the student did not finish the lab. The method described cutting chromosomes perfectly and placing them where they fit. The data section listed different karyotype notations like 46, XX for a normal female. In the analysis, the student discussed that a missing chromosome can cause diseases like Down syndrome. The conclusion explained that a missing chromosome deep in the body can lead to conditions and computers now help with virtual karyotyping.
Strawberry dna extractionlab.docx
The document describes a lab procedure to extract DNA from strawberry cells. The objective is to understand how DNA is contained in cells and extract it. Materials include tubes, bags, sticks, filters and ethanol. The method involves mashing strawberries in a bag, filtering the liquid, adding ethanol to precipitate DNA strands, and collecting the DNA. Data on DNA weights would be recorded. Analysis questions address differences between cell types, DNA structure/function, and how mashing/detergent disrupt cells. The conclusion discusses how extraction from animal vs plant vs bacterial cells may differ and potential uses for extracted DNA.
The maori backround
The document discusses key aspects of contemporary Maori culture in New Zealand. It notes that the Maori are the indigenous people of New Zealand, an island country in the South Pacific. While some Maori continue traditional cultural practices like the Haka war dance and moko tattooing, others have adopted non-traditional, modern lifestyles. The document also mentions challenges some Maori face with poverty, alcoholism, and drug abuse.
