Carbon is not. That is why the last one is better for carbon dating Many methods to determine the age of an foosil or a rock, pottery or ceramics: Radiocarbon dating. Theory: is an attempt to explain the facts. The evolution theory is a misleading name. First, evolution is fact. Second, there are theories of evolution more than one. Charles Darwin had a theory, heavily based on natural selection. But he didn't know about genetics mutations. In fact the genetics invented after his death.
The theory of evolution after darwin's death I'd different in a significant way from how to know it nowadays. Regarding proof. We have whales have legs and fish have necks Three philosophical stances regarding evolution : Theistic evolution. Atheistic evolution Scientific creation the intelligence design A transitional species is not equivalent to an ancestor.
It is just a species with mixture of traits. Atavisms: an ancestor trait that appears in living species. Like tail in human or three toes in horses or a leg in whales Evedince of evolution: 1. Direct Observation of Evolution: when a pig flu develops and starts effecting human. It evolved. Smallpox started with cow then ended up with human. Transitions and Consistency in the Fossil Record: it is impossible for fossils to turn up out of order in the geological strata.
For example, can not find any rabbit's fossil in the same strata of the jurasic era. Biogeography: how group of animals live in certain places. For example, Animals which live in some islands, how they don't exist in another places on earth. Like Australia and Galapagos island 4. Comparative anatomy : the similarities of our hands and feet to pedal extremities of bats and mice 5. Unintelligent design : humans have tailbone but not tail.
Something we share with gorilla, Gibson and chempanzee. Our knees how bad designed they are. When we run they turn around. Male nipples. Wisdom teeth. Goose bumps. Body hair. Molecular biology : 7. The embryo: how when we are embryo we would have the tail Molecular biology : when you extract one gene from an animal and insert it in another, the where they will function accordingly.
Primates have three different types of teeth: Inceisors Canines Premolars Human's teeth arranged in the upper teeth is unique. It is like an arch. While human have some genes that used to perform this function they posses a tooth comb in which it helps them to groom their fur. Meat helps the metabolic budget to balance. It enabled the human ancestors to develop a shorter gastrointestinal tract. Since animals matter is easier to digest than plants.
Because of its broad scope , physical anthropology has borrowed principles from evolutionary biology , comparative anatomy , genetics , medicine , paleontology , zoology , geology , and demography.
The knowledge and skills needed for Fundamentals of Growth and Development The terms growth and development are often used interchangeably , but they actually refer to different processes. Growth refers to an increase in mass or number of cells , whereas development Fascinating, accessible, and innovative, Introduction to Physical Anthropology is the ideal book for students new to the discipline.
