as in the case of the Miller-Urey experiment and are known as a racemic mixture. Mathematically, the probability of getting all 150 amino acids to be left-handed – given a 50% chance – is one chance in 10 to the power of 45. This problem of handedness or chirality being resolved by...
AbstractThroughout the Victorian era, the metaphor “living fossil” repeatedly crisscrossed social and scientific domains. The term existed in popular culture before and after Darwin’sOrigin. Most notably, it also operated as two distinct scientific concepts, one introduced by Darwin and another in...
Now the long-term solution to this Tower of Babel, no doubt, is for Larousse to publish a set of interoperating dictionaries for IT to T, T to M, and M to IT. Or perhaps this could be a Wikipedia project. But in the short term, the trick is to know which languages you speak an...

term it replaces (as with Bert’s musings on Madonna), that fact is significant because it reveals something important about our thought: that we think about things under guises. It is a quite different matter to consider contexts in which you cannot always replace one term associated with ...
During this period, paleontologists utilized the term “orthogenesis” to explain trends in the fossil record. Under the model of orthogenesis, once a species begins to develop, it continues to develop along that line and exhibits an inability to stop this process of development. In the case ...
Below, I will examine Darwin's sexual selection for its inner consistency, for its meaning in his time, and for its long term influence on research until now. Many readings have been offered of the evolution of Darwin's views. Some have stressed his need to respond to the objections of ...
George John Romanes describing his plan to test cats’ homing instincts by abandoning them in the wilds! (He subsequently reports none of the cats has returned home.) Darwin’s seeking Romanes’ advice on a definition of the term ‘intelligence’ that might be used to assess that of earthwo...
to the left and right off this main axis. These affinities [[94], p.199] were of structure and "economy" [[94], p.195], the latter term connoting features of reproduction, nutrition, physiology and ecology; branch lengths correspond with degree of affinity, and gaps may occur at any ...
When we think of the word «difference» (maybe because of our recent reading ofHow We Became Posthuman), the termdifference enginekeeps popping into our head, the difference engine between the first analog forefather to the computer. See alsoour poston differential equations. ...
