Here I have published theory of evolution by Charles Darwin and his visits of Galapagos; in H.M.S. Beagle.Some descriptions from "THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES". Little bit about DNA.
The document discusses several theories about prebiotic evolution and the origin of life on Earth, including:
1) Early Earth conditions like volcanic activity created an atmosphere of gases like hydrogen cyanide, carbon dioxide, and water that could have led to organic molecule formation through energy sources like lightning or heat.
2) Evidence from 3.5 billion year old Australian fossils suggests life appeared rapidly once conditions were suitable, possibly around hydrothermal vents that provided important molecules.
3) Experiments demonstrated amino acids and sugars could form from sparks simulating lightning in a prebiotic atmosphere, supporting the idea that life began through chemical evolution from simple organic molecules.
4) Cyanide oligomerization provided RNA components like
The document discusses several theories on the origin of life:
1) The theory of special creation proposed that all life was created simultaneously and does not evolve or adapt. However, it lacked evidence and fossil records show life appeared at different times.
2) The theory of spontaneous generation assumed life could arise from non-living matter, but experiments by scientists like Pasteur disproved this.
3) The theory of cosmozoic proposed that life arrived on Earth via meteorites carrying spores from other planets.
4) The theory of catastrophism suggested life was created and destroyed in catastrophic geological events, with new life forms emerging each time.
5) The modern theory is that under primordial Earth conditions,
Sociology can be approached from two schools of thought - the German formalistic school and the French synthetic school. The formalistic school aims to narrowly define sociology's scope to include only social institutions, groups, and interactions. The synthetic school believes sociology should broadly study all aspects of society, including social structures, systems, norms, and emerging issues. Both schools agree that sociology should comprehensively examine social life but do so scientifically and methodically.

This document discusses key concepts of natural selection and evolution, including that organisms overproduce offspring but population sizes remain stable, indicating competition for survival. There is genetic variation within species on which natural selection acts, favoring traits that increase reproductive success. Examples are provided of natural selection in finches and moths. Selection changes allele frequencies over generations, driving evolutionary change.
The document discusses several early theories on the origin of life and evolution:
1) The extraterrestrial origin theory states that life originated on other planets and was brought to Earth via meteorites.
2) Creationism believes life was put on Earth by divine forces, but it is not scientifically valid.
3) The theory that life arose spontaneously from non-living matter through random processes that eventually led to the first cell.
4) Evolutionary theory provides an explanation for differences among life forms through the mechanism of natural selection, whereby traits that increase reproductive success are passed on. The peppered moth study is a classic example of this process at work.
This document provides an introduction to Mendelian genetics. It discusses Gregor Mendel's pioneering work in the field in the 1800s, which laid the foundations for genetics but was not recognized until 1900. It defines key genetic terminology such as alleles, genotypes, and phenotypes. It also describes Mendel's experiments breeding pea plants and his conclusions, including the laws of dominance, segregation, and independent assortment. Mendel demonstrated that traits are passed from parents to offspring through discrete units of inheritance now known as genes.

This document discusses the different types of societies humans have developed throughout history. It identifies four main types: 1) pre-industrial societies like hunting and gathering, pastoral, and horticultural; 2) industrial societies characterized by advances in technology, transportation, and manufacturing; and 3) post-industrial societies focused on knowledge and services. Pre-industrial societies relied on hunting/gathering or basic agriculture and livestock domestication for subsistence. Industrial societies emerged with innovations in farming, industry, and communication. Today's world is shifting toward a post-industrial model based increasingly on information and expertise.
This document discusses Gregor Mendel's laws of inheritance based on his experiments breeding pea plants. It defines key genetic terms and describes Mendel's three laws: 1) The Law of Dominance states that one allele is dominant over the recessive allele. 2) The Law of Segregation states that alleles segregate and pass to offspring independently during gamete formation. 3) The Law of Independent Assortment states that different genes assort independently of one another during gamete formation. Mendel's laws established basic principles of heredity and laid the foundation for genetics.
TRIBAL SOCIETY ,MEANING DEFINATION,19 CHARACTERSTICS SARU
Tribal societies are small, isolated groups that live in common geographical areas like mountains or forests. They are self-sufficient with a common culture, language, and political organization led by a headman. Members cooperate and rely on each other for subsistence, with limited division of labor and no social classes. Kinship and common descent are important social bonds in tribal societies.
Biology is the study of living organisms from cells to humans. It includes the study of genes, cells, and their characteristics. All living things share basic properties including cellular organization, metabolism, homeostasis, heredity, growth and adaptation. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things. A cell is enclosed by a membrane or wall and contains cytoplasm and organelles. Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and store food as starch grains.
The Social Organisation PowerPoint presentation provides an overview of the different ways in which people come together to form groups and organisations in society. The presentation covers various types of social organisations, including formal and informal groups, as well as community-based and institutional organisations.
The presentation starts by defining social organisations and their importance in society. It then goes on to explore the different types of social organisations, highlighting their characteristics, structures, and functions. This includes exploring the roles and responsibilities of different members within social organisations, such as leaders, members, and volunteers.
The presentation also covers the benefits of social organisations, including social cohesion, support networks, and the ability to drive change within society. Additionally, it highlights some of the challenges that social organisations face, such as funding, communication, and sustainability.
Throughout the presentation, examples of different social organisations are provided, including non-profits, charities, community groups, and political organisations. The presentation concludes with a call to action, encouraging individuals to get involved in social organisations and make a positive impact in their communities.
Overall, the Social Organisation PowerPoint presentation provides a comprehensive overview of the importance, types, and benefits of social organisations in society, and serves as a useful resource for anyone interested in learning more about social organisations and their impact.
The document summarizes several key theories and concepts related to evolution:
1. It describes Lamarck's theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics, such as giraffes stretching their necks to reach leaves, and passing longer necks to offspring.
2. Darwin's theory of natural selection is explained, relying on overproduction of offspring, variation between individuals, competition for resources, adaptation, and natural selection of favorable traits.
3. De Vries' mutation theory proposed that new species can suddenly appear through single mutations, providing raw material for evolution.
4. The modern synthesis combines Darwin's natural selection with genetics, explaining evolution as gradual changes in populations through natural selection and accumulation of small genetic
This document discusses definitions of key sociological concepts and different perspectives on the scope and subject matter of sociology. It outlines two schools of thought on sociology - the formal school and synthetic school. The formal school, advocated by scholars like Simmel, emphasized studying abstract forms of social relationships independently from other social sciences. The synthetic school, advocated by Durkheim and Hobhouse, viewed sociology as a synthesis of social sciences that should study concrete social life and relations between different parts of society. The document also discusses criticisms of the formal school and branches of sociology beyond those initially mentioned.
A monohybrid cross is a cross between two individuals differing in one character pair, such as tall vs dwarf plants. The F1 generation produced from this cross is then self-pollinated to produce the F2 generation. In a monohybrid cross involving a dominant tall trait and recessive dwarf trait, the F1 generation will all be tall, while the F2 generation will exhibit a 3:1 phenotypic ratio of tall to dwarf plants.
Gregor Mendel was an Augustinian monk who conducted breeding experiments with pea plants in the 1850s and 1860s. He studied seven traits in peas and found that traits are passed to offspring through discrete "factors" (now called genes). Mendel discovered that these factors segregate and assort independently during reproduction, resulting in predictable inheritance patterns. His work established the foundations of genetics but was not widely accepted until the early 20th century.

The document discusses the key agents of socialization during childhood. It states that the four most important agents are family, school, peers, and mass media. Family is usually considered the primary agent of socialization. The document then goes on to define socialization and describe each of the major agents in more detail, explaining how they influence children and teach them social norms.
This document discusses specialized cells and their functions. It provides examples of specialized plant cells like those with thick cell walls that allow bending as they fill with water and have large surface areas for absorbing water and minerals. Specialized animal cells discussed include cilia for moving mucus, elongated muscle cells for contraction, flat disc-shaped red blood cells for oxygen transport, and nerve cells with long axons and dendrites for transmitting electrical signals. Students are asked to order complexity from cell to organism and describe cellular adaptations and functions.
Gregor Mendel performed experiments with pea plants from 1856 to 1863 to study heredity. He found that pea plants have traits such as flower color and seed shape that are inherited. Through controlled breeding experiments involving over 28,000 pea plants, Mendel discovered that traits are passed to offspring through discrete factors, now known as genes, and that some traits are dominant over recessive traits. His findings disproved the prevailing theory of blending inheritance and established the basic principles of genetics.
Theory Of Evolution of Natural Selection by DARWINVipul Sachan
Charles Darwin developed the theory of evolution by natural selection. As a naturalist aboard the HMS Beagle, Darwin made observations and collected evidence that led him to propose that life evolves over generations through a process of natural selection, where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and pass on their traits. Darwin believed that all species on Earth descended with modification from common ancestors over long periods of time. His theory challenged religious orthodoxy and provided a naturalistic explanation for the diversity and complexity of life.
Genetics is the study of genes and heredity in living organisms. The document discusses the history and development of genetics from Mendel's early experiments in 1866 to modern large-scale genome sequencing projects. It outlines the three main branches of genetics and describes the importance of genetics for understanding molecular and cellular functions, inheritance patterns, and genetic variation. The application of genetics is discussed in areas like disease prevention, genetically modified crops and organisms, genetic counseling, and developing molecular medicine.
The document discusses socialization, which is defined as the process of inducting individuals into social and cultural worlds and making them participating members of society. It describes the primary agencies of socialization as the family, peer groups, neighborhoods, schools, religious institutions, and the state. Each plays a role in shaping personality and teaching social norms from a young age. The failure of these socializing agents to properly socialize children is cited as one reason for increasing crime rates today.
The fossil record provides evidence of evolution by showing progressive changes in species over time. Layers of sedimentary rock often contain fossils, with newer layers covering older ones. When fossils are arranged in order of age, there is a progression of species that are more similar to present-day forms the younger the fossils are. Transitional fossils also provide evidence, showing characteristics between ancestral and descendant groups, such as Archaeopteryx which displayed features of both birds and their dinosaur ancestors.
This document summarizes the key aspects of human reproduction. It describes sexual reproduction and the male and female reproductive systems. It explains the role of hormones in development of secondary sex characteristics during puberty. The female menstrual cycle and process of fertilization are outlined. Different methods of birth control like condoms, pills and IUDs are explained along with their advantages and disadvantages. Common sexually transmitted diseases like gonorrhea and AIDS are also summarized, including how they are transmitted and can be prevented.

Plato's Objection to Poetry and Aristotle's DefenceDilip Barad
This presentation deals with Greek philosopher Plato's objections to poetry and Aristotle's clarification on the confusion created by Plato. It is said that Plato confused study of morals/ethics with that of aesthetics. Aristotle removed this confusion.
The document provides background information on the key individuals and ideas that influenced Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. It describes the contributions of thinkers like Lamarck, Malthus, Lyell, and others to early concepts of evolution and population growth. It then summarizes Darwin's voyage on the HMS Beagle where he made observations of species variation that helped form his ideas, and outlines his subsequent development of the theory of evolution by means of natural selection, which he published in On the Origin of Species in 1859.
Charles Darwin was a British naturalist who established the theory of evolution by natural selection. He observed that species have descended over time from common ancestors and developed his theory during a five-year voyage around the world. His 1859 book On the Origin of Species explained how natural selection leads to evolution, but it faced opposition from the church and some scientists. While controversial initially, Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection is now widely accepted in the scientific community based on significant evidence.
When I teach On the Origin of Species, I follow a trajectory that is indicated on the powerpoint. I also make sure that students get the background for evolutionary biology. In 2009 to 2010, I used the powerpoint to emphasize the Dialogues with Darwin project that I did along with some IH faculty with the American Philosophical Society. (See preceding powerpoint.)
Charles Darwin was born in 1809 in England to an esteemed family with intellectual lineage. He studied medicine at university but found geology more interesting. His mentors introduced him to new ideas in geology and the emerging concept of deep time. In 1831, Darwin joined the HMS Beagle voyage as a naturalist. During the 5-year voyage, Darwin intensely studied geology, actively witnessed earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, discovered giant fossil mammals in Argentina, and began questioning theories about the fixity of species. His geological observations on the voyage formed the basis for his later theories about evolution and natural selection.
CHARLES-ROBERT-DARWIN: His life and theoryClarenceClaro4
Charles Darwin proposed the theory of evolution by natural selection, which posited that species evolve over time through natural processes like variation and inheritance of adaptive traits. While influential, the theory was controversial as it contradicted the biblical view of fixed, designed species. The document argues that evolution has led to societal harms like abortion, eugenics, and racism. It claims Darwin experienced mental and physical anguish over his theory, questioning it on his deathbed. Overall, the document portrays evolution as being at war with God and urges teaching children biblical creationism instead.
Charles Darwin was born in 1809 in England and came from a wealthy family. He joined the voyage of the HMS Beagle in 1831 as the ship's naturalist, where he began developing his theory of evolution by natural selection. During the voyage, Darwin made many important discoveries, including observing how species on the Galapagos Islands varied between islands. After returning to England in 1836, he published his theory of evolution in On the Origin of Species in 1859, which generated significant controversy but was also influential. Darwin died in 1882 after making seminal contributions to the fields of biology and geology.
This document provides context for Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. It discusses how Western culture traditionally resisted evolutionary views. It then describes how the geological theories of gradualism and uniformitarianism helped pave the way for acceptance of evolutionary biology by establishing an ancient age of the Earth. It also discusses how Lamarck placed fossils in an evolutionary context with one of the first theories of evolution. Finally, it summarizes Darwin's voyage on the Beagle, field research, and development of the theory of evolution by natural selection.
1) Charles Darwin was a British naturalist born in 1809 who studied medicine and divinity before joining a scientific expedition on the HMS Beagle as their geologist from 1831-1836.
2) While traveling on the Beagle, Darwin was influenced by the ideas of Charles Lyell and observed unique species of finches on the Galapagos Islands, sparking his theory of evolution by natural selection.
3) After corresponding with Alfred Russel Wallace, Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859, introducing his theory that organisms change over generations through a process of natural selection, survival of the fittest, and gradual speciation from common ancestors.
This document summarizes Charles Darwin's theory of evolution and how he developed it. It describes how Darwin joined a scientific expedition at age 22 that circled the globe, sparking his fascination with different species in places like Brazil. Key discoveries on the voyage, including in the Galapagos Islands, led Darwin to develop the theory of evolution by natural selection. The theory explains how organisms gradually change over generations through natural processes like favorable traits increasing an organism's chances of survival and reproduction.
The document summarizes key aspects of evolution and Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. It describes Darwin's observations on the HMS Beagle that led him to propose that species evolve over time through natural selection, where individuals with traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on their genes. The document also lists Darwin's five points of natural selection and provides examples of evidence that support the theory of evolution, including fossils, biogeography, and comparative embryology.
Charles Darwin (1809-1882) was a renowned English naturalist best known for developing the theory of evolution through natural selection. He originally studied to become a physician but changed career paths due to an aversion to blood. Darwin published numerous influential works and developed his theory after making observations as a naturalist on the HMS Beagle voyage. His ideas challenged religious viewpoints and sparked much scientific and philosophical discussion.
This document provides an overview of the history and process of embalming. It discusses how embalming began in Ancient Egypt and was later adopted during the U.S. Civil War to preserve soldiers' bodies. The document also profiles Thomas Holmes, considered the father of modern embalming, and Roy F. McCampbell, who experimented with using electricity for embalming. Finally, it notes that while traditionally practiced mostly by white men, some of the first African American and women embalmers also made contributions to the field. However, embalming remains an expensive optional procedure for funeral preparation today.
The document discusses two major intellectual revolutions - the Copernican revolution and Darwinian evolution. The Copernican revolution established the heliocentric model of the solar system with the sun at the center, as discovered by Nicholas Copernicus in the 16th century. Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, established in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species, proposed that species evolve over generations through the natural selection of small, inherited variations that increase the individual's ability to survive and reproduce. The document provides background on Copernicus, Galileo, and Darwin, and summarizes some of the key evidence and ideas that influenced their revolutionary scientific theories.
- Charles Darwin developed the theory of evolution by natural selection, which explains how all living things came to be through descent with modification from common ancestors and how they became adapted to their environments.
- His theory reconciled evidence from various fields like fossils, geographical distribution of species, embryology, and taxonomy. No other explanation has made sense of these diverse facts.
- Darwin's writings had profound impacts across many fields from geology to theology and influenced how humans are understood in relation to other animals. He made highly original contributions to many areas of science beyond just evolution.
1) Evolution is defined as gradual change over time. Charles Darwin proposed the theory of evolution by natural selection, where heritable traits that increase an organism's chances of survival are passed on to offspring.
2) Darwin observed variations among species on the Galapagos Islands that supported his theory of evolution from common ancestry.
3) Darwin's theory combined Mendel's principles of heredity with Malthus' population principles to explain evolution through natural selection acting upon inherited variation.
The document summarizes key aspects of the theory of evolution including its timeline, major figures, and evidence. It describes how evolution occurs through processes like mutation, natural selection, genetic drift, and artificial selection. It outlines Charles Darwin's voyage on the HMS Beagle where he collected evidence and developed his theory of evolution by natural selection. This established that life evolves over generations through a process of common descent with modification from shared ancestors.
Cave biology developed through different historical periods and was influenced by the prevailing scientific thought of each time. Early studies of cave organisms were mainly descriptive before Darwin published On the Origin of Species. After Darwin, debates emerged between natural selection and neo-Lamarckian ideas about use and disuse influencing evolution. By the early 20th century, Mendelian genetics was rediscovered and biospeleology declined in English-speaking countries, though it continued in France with philosophical debates about evolution.

Comparison Between Waiting for Barbarians and Heart of Darkness KAVITABA P. GOHIL
This document provides information for a paper on African literature, including a synopsis, definitions, introduction of novels, and comparison of characters between Heart of Darkness and Waiting for Barbarians. It discusses how colonialism and imperialism portrayed African natives as barbaric others through exoticization and notions of civilization versus savagery. While Conrad presented Africa as dark and natives as cannibals in Heart of Darkness, J.M. Coetzee's Waiting for Barbarians provides a post-colonial perspective that questions who the real barbarians are.
Ppt 11 post colonial studies - commonwealth literature doe not exist.KAVITABA P. GOHIL
This document is a presentation on Commonwealth literature prepared by a student for their English literature course. It discusses how Commonwealth literature refers to writing by non-white British, Irish or American authors in English. However, the term has been criticized for creating an exclusive "ghetto" that restricts writers and demands works conform to perceived homogeneous traditions from a single cultural background. The presentation examines problems this approach causes and questions the need for such categorization in an era of globalization.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

11. Theory of Evolution
• Evolution is change in
the heritable characteristics
of biological populations over
successive generations. Evolutionary
processes give rise to biodiversity at
every level of biological organisation,
including the levels of species ,
individual organisms, and molecules.
• “which organisms change over time
as a result of changes in heritable
physical or behavioural traits.”
15. HUMAN DNA
• Humans have 46 chromosomes that
contain all of the genetic
information, and there are over
25,000 genes in the human genome.
... Humans have approximately 10
trillion cells, so if you were to line all
of the DNA found in every cell of
a human body it would stretch from
the earth to the sun 100 times!
