Catching Evolution in Action
To study evolution, biologists have traditionally investigated what has happened in the past, sometimes many millions of years ago. To learn about dinosaurs, a paleontologist looks at dinosaur fossils. To study human evolution, an anthropologist looks at human fossils and, increasingly, examines the “family tree” of mutations that have accumulated in human DNA over millions of years. For the bi...
متن کاملCatching evolution in action
A hundred years ago Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection was taught as the foundation of biology in public schools throughout the United States. Then something happened. In the 1920s, conservative religious groups began to argue against the teaching of evolution in our nation's schools. Darwinism, they said, contradicted the revealed word of God in the Bible and thus was a ...
متن کاملCatching synaptic vesicles in action
The synaptic vesicle (SV) cycle was initially discovered at the neuromuscular junction using electron microscopy (EM) analysis.(1) With the introduction of fluorescent probes that are able to monitor real-time cellular events in live cells, EM analysis was pushed to the side lines because it could not provide meaningful kinetic analyses of the various steps in the synaptic vesicle cycle.
متن کاملPerformance and ease influence perceived speed.
According to the action-specific perception account, perception is a function of optical information and the perceiver's ability to perform the intended action. While most of the evidence for the action-specific perception account is on spatial perception, in the current experiments we examined similar effects in the perception of speed. Tennis players reproduced the time the ball traveled from...
متن کاملAction-specific effects underwater.
Action-specific effects on perception are apparent in terrestrial environments. For example, targets that require more effort to walk, jump, or throw to look farther away than when the targets require less effort. Here, we examined whether action-specific effects would generalize to an underwater environment. Instead, perception might be geometrically precise, rather than action-specific, in an...
