| ARTICLES RELATED TO Evolution | | |  |  |  | Evolution: Encyclopedia II - Malayalam language - EvolutionWith Tamil, Kota, Kodava Thakk and Kannada, Malayalam belongs to the southern group of Dravidian languages. Its affinity to Tamil is the most striking. Proto-Tamil Malayalam, the common stock of Tamil and Malayalam apparently disintegrated over a period of four of five centuries from the ninth century on, resulting in the emergence of Malayalam as a language distinct from Tamil. As the language of scholarship and administration Tamil greatly influenced the early development of Malayalam. Later the irresistible inroads the Namboothiris made i ...

| | | |  |  |  | Evolution: Encyclopedia II - Ancient Greek comedy - EvolutionThe evolution of comedy is much simpler than that of its sister art, tragedy, though as to its origin and earlier development there is little exact information. All that Aristotle can tell us is that it first took shape in Megaris and Sicyon, whose people were noted for their coarse humour and sense of the ludicrous, while Susarion, the earliest comic poet, was a native of a Megarian town. Add to this that it arose from the phallic processions of the Greeks, as did tragedy from the dithyramb, and we have about all that is known as to ...

| |  |  |  | Evolution: Encyclopedia II - Instinct - EvolutionInstinctive behavior can be demonstrated across much of the broad spectrum of animal life, down to bacteria that propel themselves toward beneficial substances, and away from repellent substances. According to Darwin's theory of evolution, a favorable trait, such as an instinct, will be selected for through competition and improved survival rate of life forms possessing the instinct. Thus, for evolutionary biology, instincts can be explained in t ...

| |  |  |  | Evolution: Encyclopedia II - List of controversial non-fiction books - EvolutionDarwin put forth a theory of natural selection, which contradicted the doctrine of "created kinds" which was derived from a literal reading of the Book of Genesis.
1972: The Descent of Woman by Elaine Morgan
Morgan's Aquatic ape hypothesis challenges the theory that early humans evolved on the savannah, and argues that several human characteristics which are uncommon to mammals can be better explained by a semi-aquatic environment. The book is popular among feminists because it emphasizes the role of reprodu ...

|  |  |  | Evolution: Encyclopedia II - Hex Discworld - EvolutionHex has its origins in a device that briefly appeared in Soul Music, created by student wizard Skazz in the High Energy Magic building. In this form it was simply a complex network of glass tubes, containing ants. The wizards could then use punch cards to control which tubes the ants could crawl through, enabling it to perform simple mathematical functions.
By the time of Interesting Times Hex had become a lot more complex, and was constantly reinventing itself. Part of it is now clockwork, which interfaces with the ant- ...

|  |  |  | Evolution: Encyclopedia II - Inca Kola - Evolution
Inca Kola - Pepsi & Coca-Cola.
In the early years, Inca Kola began to slowly erode Pepsi and Coca-Cola's market share through aggressive marketing and low prices. Its standing as the only national drink greatly helped to win over customers as more and more people converted for nationalistic, price and flavor reasons.
The combined marketing muscle of Coca-Cola and Pepsi could not unseat Inca Kola as the most popular drink. Inca Kola began a marketing campaign that offered money and marketing assistance ...

| |  |  |  | Evolution: Encyclopedia II - Neoteny - EvolutionNeoteny also plays a role in evolution, as a means by which, over generations, a species can undergo a significant physical change. In such cases, a species' neotenous form becomes its 'normal' mature form, no longer dependant upon environmental triggers to inhibit maturity. The mechanism for this could be a mutation in, or interactions between, genes involved in maturation, inhibiting their function.
Neoteny is not the only contributing factor affecting maturation in species that may have undergone neotenous changes over the course o ...

|  |  |  | Evolution: Encyclopedia II - Snake - EvolutionThe phylogeny of snakes is poorly known due to the fact that snake skeletons are typically small and fragile, making fossilization unlikely. It has however been generally agreed, on the basis of morphology, that snakes descended from lizard-like ancestors. Recent research based on genetics and biochemistry confirms this; snakes form a venom clade with several extant lizard families.
Morphology further suggests that the likeliest ancestors were related to mosasaurs — extinct aquatic reptiles from the Cretaceous — which in turn are ...

|  |  |  | Evolution: Encyclopedia II - Pierre Louis Maupertuis - EvolutionSome historians of science point to his important works in biology as significant precursors in the development of evolutionary theories, specifically the theory of natural selection.Other writers contend that his remarks are cursory, vague, or incidental to that particular argument. See "Venus Physique" (1745), or its English translation, Boas (1966), for details. Other valuable references include Stephen Jay Gould's The Flamingo's Smile (1987), Desmond King-Hele's Erasmus Darwin (1963),Peter Bowler's Evolution: The History ...

|  |  |  | Evolution: Encyclopedia II - Racial demographics of the United States - Evolution
Racial demographics of the United States - Majority group.
The majority of the 298 million people currently living in the United States descend from European immigrants who have arrived since the establishment of the first colonies (most, however, arrived after Reconstruction). This majority, 69.1% in 2000, tends to decrease every year, and whites are expected to become a plurality within a few decades. In the 2000 Census, Americans were able to state their ancestry. The most frequently stated European ancestries ...

|  |  |  | Evolution: Encyclopedia II - Chao Sonic the Hedgehog - EvolutionChao have the ability to evolve into many different appearances. For instance, by raising your Chao in only Running, its head will slowly grow three Sonic-type spikes and its yellow markings will become green. After evolution, it will turn lime green. If you continue raising him in Running, he'll begin to look like a miniature Sonic. Below is a list of basic Chao evolutions.
Advanced Chao: Raise a Dark, Hero, or Neutral Chao. Before evolution, raise that Chao in only one attribute (Swimming, Flying, Running, or Power), so that that on ...
