The Hall of Vertebrate Origins at the American Museum of Natural History is an impressive collection of fossils and specimens which allow the visitor to see parallel structures such as wings and flippers evolve over time. While the inner architecture of the ear is often hidden from view, we can recognize that the environmental pressure to develop them is present across different habitats, and the investment to develop them in terms of biological resources is relatively low.

Kevin Mitnick and Elon Musk. Kevin Mitnick is perhaps the world’s most famous hacker. He has authored and co-authored books, founded a computer security company, lectured around the country, been featured on a Discovery Channel documentary, and has been arrested numerous times for breaching governmental, utility (General Telephone and Electronics Corporation, MCI, Pacific Telephone), and educational computer systems.

Given the recent vaccine debates, this topic often produces acrimonious exchanges and a plethora of articles, posts, and social organization. It is concerning because we are seeing a resurgence of preventable diseases such as mumps and whooping cough. The efficacy and safety of vaccines has been proved through peer-reviewed sources, and negligible negative impacts are eclipsed by the positive “herd immunity” that results from vaccination programs.

A genetically modified organism, or GMO, is an entity whose "genetic make-up has been deliberately altered" (Jumba, 2010 p. 1). The resulting animal or plant is referred to as "transgenic." Transgenic plants and animals have an ever-increasing variety of uses and applications. Plants can be modified so that they are resistant to pesticide application, so that they can deliver greater nutrition, and even have glowing genes inserted to indicate that they need to be watered (Zimmer, ...

Advances in gene manipulation have given rise to practical applications in myriad fields including agriculture, medicine, and research. Sentinel plants are able to fluoresce when they need water, and spinal cord injuries are able to be healed in mouse models using manipulated stem cells

These organisms are at an advantage when the environment is stable and has few demands; such a population can reproduce quickly. However, in the face of changing environmental pressures, organisms can use mutation and gene mixing to create variety that will possibly be successful. Scientists can also create clones artificially through biotechnological approaches. Cloning came to the forefront of public dialogue in 1997, when Dolly the sheep was cloned at the Roslin Institute (Kashyap, 2001)...
