As members of this species, it is essential to understand our history and the evolution behind it. Jessica Thompson,…

Evolution is the gradual progression of life towards complexity, and group living is a breakthrough in this regard. It is a mystery how the organisms evolved to come together in groups. Understanding cooperative breeding is vital towards the development of social behavior in animals.Some species have several constraints on independent breeding(maternal mortality, nest destruction,lack of…

Biological inheritance is the process by which children received the characteristics of its parental cell or organism. Through inheritance, variations exhibited by individuals can accumulate and causes a species to evolve. From the beginning of the earth to today’s modern world was built through evolution over millions of years. Evolution is the process of change…
