evolutionEvolution in the past has been the most disputable topic of discussion amongst the various known scientists. For what we see today and was also observed earlier in the yester years that there are various groups of similarly featured organisms within the other groups sharing a few or more similarities. Later, with the increasing query these characters and features were uniquely studied in depth to learn about the smallest yet the most basic cause after these changes, the genes and their genetic codes. But later when the main cause behind these various characteristics and features were learnt, the most important question of their evolution came forth and with it came “The Theory of Evolution”.
Today we know that there are various types of organisms on earth made of the organs, tissues and cells. But when we think of how life on earth originated, we end up confused without much idea about it. There have been various studies and theories such as the Big Bang, to describe the origin of our earth and thus life. But even today, there aren’t many evidences to clearly and rightly describe the theory of origin of life. Thus as the origin of life is not known, and so is the origin of evolution.
Evolution as we all know is a gradual process of modification where a given organism changes into a different more complex and better organism. In other words, it is also known as the process of developing with the passing time which is further governed by a few factors. It is known to us that the cellular life most primarily evolved in the water and then by the various natural methods, organisms came into existence which had fossil records. Thus, it is believed and proved that most of the organisms evolved from a single common ancestor to form the various other groups of organisms with variant characteristics. Organisms slowly evolved from their ancestors into better organisms due to the various types of factors supervising their survival. We know that apes are our common ancestors from which other organisms such as the orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, gibbons and finally humans evolved with the passing time and changing environmental and natural conditions. These changing features in the organisms were most primarily noticed by the well known theorist, Charles Darwin. He noticed the unique biodiversity of the various organisms in the Galapagos Island. This imperative observation further made him to observe that various other diversities in nature that are caused due to the changing surroundings and thus noted that the various changes in the body that are in some or the other way useful to us, remain while the others simply fade off. This very well described the evolution of human beings from apes and that of plants from the small algae.

Biology and Living Organisms

biology-and-living-organisms1Biology is such a vast and an interesting field. We all are knowingly or unknowingly attached to the biology. It is all about the mechanism of our lives. Study of Biology includes many different aspects. During last century, biology has undergone a tremendous change with explosion of knowledge in general, and about living organism in particular. Biology literally means “the study of life”. Life occurs almost everywhere on earth, from the driest desert to the icy polar waters from the highest mountain peak to the deepest ocean trenches. Some of these are microscopic and single celled, while the others are many celled. Biologist have identified and named them. Study of all these is called BIOLOGY. Biology as a separate science was developed in the nineteenth century, as scientists discovered that organisms shared fundamental characteristics. It is now a standard subject of instruction at schools and universities around the world, and over a million papers are published annually in a wide array of biology.
Living organisms possess distinct characteristics but display organizational and functional unity, entail a mechanism of origin and evolution of diversities and maintain a balancing relationship with nature. All these aspects of life fall within the area of the science of Biology. Jean Baptiste Lamarck first suggested the term biology as the mane for the new science that he saw emerging from the fusion of the classical subject of the Zoology and Botany. It will also unravel the basic characteristic and organizations of living world, including molecular organization.
The study of Biology and living world is a special Endeavor of humans. Humans are biological beings and little different from the other living organisms. Although, animals several animals have curiosity, it is this feature that makes humans singularly different from other living organisms. We keeps pets, natural plants, visit zoological and botanical garden, all these activities reflect the innate attraction for humans for natural world and their feeling of connectedness of living things. In fact, the scientific extension of human curiosity has given birth to the science of Biology.
Living organisms interact with each other as well as their physical and chemical environment. However, biological systems, under the influence of nature show many exceptions with open mind because today’s exceptions may not remain so in the light of tomorrow’s knowledge and information. Biology as a discipline of science demands a scientific approach for analysis of its facts. Biology will give us all the knowledge about the different aspects of life. It will give us step by step learning for the lives.

Biology – An Introduction

biomogy-introductionLooking at the world around us, we happen to see millions of beautiful things which might be very common to our eyes. But, when we see them through the canvasser’s eyes they seem to be the most charismatic but highly complex structures. Have you ever asked yourself of how different butterflies happen to inherit the numerous gorgeous colors or how do the various trees have leaves with distinct colors during the autumn?
