Darwin's "Origin of the Species": An Evolutionary Progression of Concepts
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page discussion of the first eight chapters of Charles Darwin's "Origin of the Species". Presents the thesis that "Origin of the Species" itself is a product of evolutionary progression of thought. The first two-thirds of the book, Chapters 1 through 4, introduce Darwin's most basic evolutionary thoughts while the subsequent chapters 5 through 8 introduce the more complex concepts of Darwin's evolutionary theory. These chapters also show a correlation with the thoughts and work of others of Darwin's time, a correlation which builds rather than diminishes as the book moves from introduction to conclusion. These influences themselves can be contended to be environmental factors in shaping the final layout of "Origin of the Species". Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Darwin's Challenges to Convention
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing evolution, natural
selection and social Darwinism. There are many who continue to argue today that Darwin was
mistaken, that origin of species could not arise in the manner he described. There are many more,
however, absolutely convinced that Darwin found the mechanism by which species arise. The
controversy surrounding Darwin's theories continues, further supporting the statement that he
challenged accepted scientific theories and changed the way that people viewed science.

Debating Shoeing Horses

Defining Osmosis
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses and explains
the concept of osmosis which is how one element or
ingredient of a solution flows through a membrane while

membranes allow the flow of which constituents of a solution
requires experimentation since not all membranes act the
same way. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
