The Great Hippocampus Question was a 19th-century scientific controversy about the anatomy of ape and human uniqueness. The dispute between Thomas Henry Huxley and Richard Owen became central to the scientific debate on human evolution that followed Charles Darwin's publication of On the Origin of Species.
Objections to evolution have been raised since evolutionary ideas came to prominence in the 19th century. When Charles Darwin published his 1859 book On the Origin of Species, his theory of evolution (the idea that species arose through descent with modification from a single common ancestor in a process driven by natural selection) initially met opposition from scientists with different ...
Magalhães believes, at least in theory, that humans can have radical interventions that rewrite genetic software and redesign human biology “to delay or even reverse aging. In practice, it is ...
A researcher claims to have found evidence of humans in Chesapeake Bay over 22,000 years ago. The assertion is yet another recent announcement claiming to push the arrival of humans in North ...
The doomsday argument (DA), or Carter catastrophe, is a probabilistic argument that claims to predict the future population of the human species based on an estimation of the number of humans born to date. The doomsday argument was originally proposed by the astrophysicist Brandon Carter in 1983, [1] leading to the initial name of the Carter ...
The anthropic principle, also known as the observation selection effect, is the proposition that the range of possible observations that could be made about the universe is limited by the fact that observations are possible only in the type of universe that is capable of developing intelligent life.
According to the gathering hypothesis hunting had no major role in the evolution of modern humans. [3] One of the sources of evidence for the gathering hypothesis is in the alleged “Superior Spatial Memory of Women.” [clarification needed] McBurney et al. found that women perform better on memory tasks than males whereas men perform better ...
