Anthropology Case

Anthropocentricity: the belief was that the earth is the center of the universe and that all the celestial bodies revolve around it.

Carolus Linnaeus's: (1707-1778) succeeded in classifying every animal and plant known to him into a system of categories. This type of classification is absolutely necessary for a scientific understanding of the relationship of one plant or animal to the next.

Lamarck's (1744-1829) 18 century: importance lies in his proposal that life is dynamic and that here is a mechanism in nature that promotes ongoing change.

Lyell (1797-1875) the main purpose of his book principle of Geology was to establish the principle of uniformitarianism, as the book's subtitle indicates: "being an attempt to explain the former changes of the earth's surface, by reference to causes now in operation".

Charles Darwin (1809-1882) 19 century: the 1250 copies of the first printing of his book on the Origin of species sold out on the day of its issue on November 24,1859 Darwin's concept of natural selection has been firmly established as a hallmark of modern biological science.

Synthetic Theory of evololution : the theory of evolution that fuses Darwin's concept of natural selection with information from the fields of genetics, mathematics, embryology, paleontology, animal behavior, and other disciplines.

Darwin's: no study genetic, although some of the basic principles of genetics were worked out during Darwin's time.

Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) in 1865, George Mendel presented two lecture before the Natural Science Society of Brunn, Those lectures, published in the following year presented has conclusions from his experiments with pea plants (heredity) Mendel chose seven contrasting pair of characteristics of the common pea plant.

Phenotype: the observable and measurable characteristics of an organism (observable physical characteristics)

Genotype: the genetic constitution of an individual

Genotype + environment = phonotype

EE = dominant ee = recessive Alleles: alternative forms of a gene.

Homozygous: having two like alleles of a particular gene: homozygous

Ee= two different alleles = heterozygous EE = Homozygous

Ee = homozygous recessive

Cytology is the branch of sciences that specializes in the biology of the cell (is the study of cell).

Cytoplasm: material within the cell between the plasma membrane and the nuclear membrane.

Nucleus: a structure found in the cell that contains the
