[ send me this essay ]
(5 pp) As an average person, I don't think that I get any dirty than most, yet the other day I did agree to help some friends move into a new apartment, and the majority of me was filthy, to the max.

Urodele Limb Regeneration
[ send me this essay ]
10 pages in length. Urodele amphibians hold a unique place within the scheme of biological diversity, in that unlike other living creatures they have the ability to regenerate their limbs. That various parts of the body can also be regenerated, such as the jaw, lens, retina, spinal cord and much of the heart, speaks to the notion that urodele amphibians are significantly more biologically advanced than virtually all other species known to man. The distinction between young and adult urodeles is that the adults possess the ability to regenerate their lost anatomical structures. Epimorphosis is the scientific term that describes the rebirth of cellular structure in order to develop a missing limb. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

War: Does It Have Roots in Biology?

However, even a cursory examination of this ongoing debate reveals that there are no easy, pat answers to these questions due to the complexity of human behavior. Nevertheless, this examination of this debate attempts to discern the parameters of both sides of this argument, as well as what conclusions, if any, can be drawn from research on this subject.
