Why don't we have a five-foot-long neck and compound eyes?
Because we don't need these features
100
what is the definition of specialization?
nature will select more and more succinctly for traits that fit in with the environment

What is the definition of DNA?
DNA is the encoder, the messenger of an organism that transmits information from generation to generation to assure that each generation knows what it is supposed to look like.

Can a ladder be considered as an artifact? How?
Yes, since it extensions our limitation and we made it by observing animals (monkeys, giraffe, etc).
200
Why natural selection applies to species not individuals?
Natural selection is the process by which species adapt to their environment. Natural selection leads to evolutionary change when individuals with certain characteristics have a greater survival or reproductive rate than other individuals in a population and pass on these inheritable genetic characteristics to their offspring

What is the positive side of specialization?
It increases the ability of an organism to survive in a given environment.

HOW IS THE INTERNET CHANGING THE WAY YOU THINK?
We Haven't Changed, declares Harvard physician and sociologist Nicholas Christakis. Our brains "likely evolved ... in response to the demands of social (rather than environmental) complexity," and would likely only continue to evolve as our social framework changes

Give an example of how different DNA (physical) traits result in new technologies?
Different color of hair may result in hair salon

Why does evolution take very long time?
Since it does not happen to individual but a whole specie, and that's why it need million years to get done.

Monsters, Ghosts and Gods: Why We Believe?
Tall tales Related to religion Educated to believe

What is the negative side of specialization?
Organisms will become more dependent on the specific environment for their survival, and they have difficulty surviving outside the specific environment.

How does 9/11 social change result in the need for new technologies?
It results in the improvement of our homeland security.

Give an example of how different DNA (emotional) traits result in new technologies?
Shy people may feel more comfortable through Internet, which can result in the development of social media.

If there are three groups of snails, group A are very tiny little snails, group B are the middle size, and group C with hard snails shell. Btw, there are some predators (birds). Which group may extinct? Why?
Group B will have a hard time to survive.

Do you think specialization do more good than harm? Explain why.
can be either way.

Give an example of human biological change that have resulted in the creation of new technologies.
Life expectancy has increased year by year, which results in nursing home.

Are evolution and "survival of the fittest" the same thing?
Evolution and "survival of the fittest" are not the same thing. Evolution refers to the cumulative changes in a population or species through time. "Survival of the fittest" is a popular term that refers to the process of natural selection, a mechanism that drives evolutionary change
