The Socialization of Chimpanzees of Gombe National Park
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page paper provides an overview of the basic research conducted by Jane
Goodall, who studied chimpanzee populations and recognized that
chimpanzee socialization followed a definitive course of development
much like human dynamics hierarchies. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

The Systematics of Phylogenetic Inference: Applications in Evolutionary Biology
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page discussion of the importance of phylogenetic inference to our understanding of evolution. Suggests that it is through phylogenetic inference that we are able to see the hierarchical pattern of commonality which is exhibited by all forms of life. This hierarchy is not only visible through gross external anatomical features but also through more subtle features of an organism’s internal anatomy. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

The Theory of Natural Selection: Impact on Populations
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page overview of Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection. Defines population and provides examples of those populations of birds which captivated Darwin's attention. Outlines how populations are affected by natural selection and how evolution occurs. Bibliography lists 5
sources.

The Use and Reliability of DNA Evidence
[ send me this paper ]
This 3 page paper delves into the science of DNA processing and why it is reliable, but not completely accurate. Several examples are given. The problem of identical twins is discussed. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

The Use of DNA Technology to Gain Release
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page examination of the pros and cons of postconviction DNA testing and movements such as the Innocent Project spearheaded by Barry Scheck. Discusses the characteristics of DNA which make it an almost irrefutable evidence and evaluates use of this technology by those who are already incarcerated and desire to prove their innocence. Summarizes the technological, economic and legislative implications of this application. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

The Use of Genetic Markers in Plant Breeding
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page paper provides significant information in respect to the use of genetic markers in plant breeding. Consumer issues pertinent to the pitfalls of bioengineering are addressed. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

The Viability of the Catastrophism Theory in Dinosaur Extinction
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page consideration of the theory of catastrophism in relation to the dinosaur extinction which occurred during the Cretaceous and Tertiary periods. Weighs the geologic evidence of such an event against the environmental effects which would have occurred to contend that such an event would have had much further effects than on the dinosaurs alone. If catastrophism resulted in the extinction of the dinosaurs it would have resulted in widespread extinction of other species as well. Concludes that this fact discounts the validity of catastrophism and suggests that gradual environmental changes and the effects of competition with other animals led to this extinction. Bibliography
lists 10 sources.

Theories Concerning the Routes Humans took into the Americas
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages. There are many theories and controversies as to when and how humans first accessed the Americas. Archaeological finds help us to piece together parts of the puzzle but also serve to bring up more questions as well. This paper discusses some of the theories, the controversies and the archaeological finds that might help discover the routes that humans took to get to the Americas. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Tissue Culture Techniques in Plant Breeding
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length.
An excellent discussion on the use of tissue culture to enhance
genetics. This innovative new science of plant breeding, defined
as cultivar development based on genetically-enhanced breeding
materials and assisted by deep understanding of genetic processes
at the molecular level, has a vital role to play in tomorrow's
agriculture, especially in tomorrow's new crop agriculture.
Bibliography lists 5 sources.
