ANNALS OF HUMAN BIOLOGY, 1978, VOL. 5, NO. 5, 487--489 Natural selection and birthweight N. BLURTON JONES Department of Growth and Development, Institute of Child Health, University of London [Received 23 March 1978; revised 6 May 1978] Summary. Mean birthweight, even before induced births became commonplace, is slightly lower than the birthweight at which peri- natal mortality is lowest. This finding, once hard to explain by natural selection, is shown to be exactly in line with predictions from natural selection theory. 1. Introduction Karn and Penrose (1952) showed that mean birthweight in man was slightly lower than the "optimum" birthweight, defined as the weight at which perinatal

British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology October 1998, Vol. 105, pp. 1052-1055 HYPOTHESIS Caesarean section: an evolving procedure? Almost 140 years after the publication of the theory of evolution by natural selection?, arguably one of the greatest achievements of science, we persist in failing to appreciate its proper application to the human species. We have a natural tendency to see ourselves as the unchanging pinnacle of creation, the supreme creation of nature, as if evolution were a ladder with Homo supiens at the top.

Each currently extant twig survives, not because it is ideally suited to its environ-

Determination of Melting Point Abstract- This lab consists of comparing several substances melting point obtained through experimentation with the actual melting point of other known substances. With this method, the melting point of unknown substances can be determined. The data received shows melting points of three substances, two of which are identified, and the last is unknown. The first two, Benzoic Acid and Vanillin serve as confirmation of the method as they are similar to the data given of the known substances. The last is an experimental unknown substance to apply the method to determine the melting point. This experiment shows that the melting point of a substance can contribute to identifying an unknown substance.

-An average human being sleeps around seven to eight hours a day. By the time you turn 75, you would have slept about 25 years of your life away. If only you could take advantage of all this sleep time and attempt to do something somewhat productive during all this time. Well I am here to edify you on the concept of lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming is when the dreamer is consciously aware there are dreaming. This of course comes at different levels. It could range from a slight acknowledgment that you are dreaming and not being able to alter your dream, to full-fledged awareness and the ability to change your dream. With the possibility of lucid dreaming, the benefits are endless.

Module 33: Genetic and Environmental Influences on Intelligence 33-1 Genetic Influences people who share the same genes also share comparable mental abilities intelligence test scores of identical twins raised together are virtually the same brain scans indicate identical twins have the same gray matter volume adopted children?s intelligence scores become more like those of their biological parents over time and identical twins similarities continue or increase into their 80s. aka genes influence a lot. heritability ? the proportion of variation among individuals that we can attribute to genes. The heritability of a trait may vary, depending on the range of populations and environments studied. If environments become more equal, the heritability of intelligence would INCREASE
