Did humans evolve?
All organisms, including humans, have evolved from ancestral organisms and continue to evolve, although at a rate too slow to witness during one lifetime.
What did the theory of human evolution say?
There is no separate theory of evolution for humans. Human evolution is the theory of evolution applied to humans. Evolutionary theory states that modern lifeforms, including humans, derive from common ancestors through a process of reproductive variation and natural selection.
Cancer affects A humans only B most unicellular organisms C multicellular organisms D unicellular organisms?
Humans only NO, Mullticellular Organisms
How can humanavtivities affect the evolution of organisms?
Look around you at the products of artificial selection. From alpaca tom wheat man has ordered the evolution of these organisms to suit his needs. Then there is habitat destruction where the migration of humans all over the earth has put a great selection pressure on organisms in adapting to human presence. Not all do and some are extinct from human migrations into their ranges and that is part of evolution to. Then there is climate change which will put great selection pressure on all the organisms of the earth. Some populations will have the variations needed to adapt to a warming earth and these populations will have individuals selected and thus evolve into new forms in the coming years.
What is an example of micro evolution?
You are an example of human micro-evolution as the population of humans has changed allele frequency over time. Micro-evolution is just evolution; change over time.
Do humans have a effect on the evolution of the organisms on earth?
no
Did humans evolve?
All organisms, including humans, have evolved from ancestral organisms and continue to evolve, although at a rate too slow to witness during one lifetime.
Are organisms able to consciously direct the course of their own evolution?
No. Evolution is a consequence of selective pressure(s) from the environment acting on organisms. Virtually all living beings are not conscious of this process.The only species that *could* consciously direct its own evolution is Homo sapiens (humans), but currently it doesn't.Artificial selection can and has consciously directed evolution, but it always was a species acting over other different species, not on their own evolution.
How does viral evolution support the theory of evolution?
Because viruses are single-cell organisms, they can mutate (evolve) quicker than complex, multi-cell organisms, where evolution gradually happens over time spans that humans can hardly fathom. Viral mutations give evolutionary biologists the opportunity to observe the process within timespans a human being can grasp. It not only supports the theory of evolution, but confirms it with demonstrable evidence.
What is Mankind?
The noun 'mankind' is a word for all humans as a group; the human race.
Is there evolution in modern man?
Evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, always goes on. Speciation, on the other hand, does not seem to be happening in man, but there is some controversy there. Stabilizing selection is possibly what humans are being subjected to.
Are humans typical organisms?
Humans are generally not considered typical organisms. In fact, humans are often considered unique organisms simply due to their complexity.
What has killed the most wolves?
Mankind (Humans)
What is hominid evolution?
Hominid evolution refers to the evolutionary process of primates that eventually gave rise to modern humans. It includes the development and diversification of various hominid species over millions of years, leading to the emergence of anatomically modern humans. This process involved changes in physical characteristics, behavior, and cognitive abilities.
How does the creation of mankind vary widely?
There are vary different beliefs about the creation of mankind. Looking through science, you believe it was through evolution. Different religions vary in belief, but one of the more common is that one god made everything which would include humans, this belief is associated most with monotheists.
What did the theory of human evolution say?
There is no separate theory of evolution for humans. Human evolution is the theory of evolution applied to humans. Evolutionary theory states that modern lifeforms, including humans, derive from common ancestors through a process of reproductive variation and natural selection.
What happens if there is no sexual reproduction in humans?
humans become extinct and there would be no mankind
