center of this world, where we develop the commodity economy to own the other living/ non-living matters in the world because we are superior (Waters, 2011). Our language gives no life to objects and we try to teach the children that same language (Kimmerer, 2013). However, Kimmerer (2013) proposes that humans need to learn the aboriginal language and way of knowing, where they have a gift economy to see the goods as gifts from the Earth. Meanwhile, humans establish relationships with the nature as we
monotonous societal living, and instead rather becoming part of something that is embedded in the natural state of living. Humans are beings brought about of nature, in that, at the very basic core of human essence and character, Thoreau’s argument concerning the state of affairs in which humans participate in, is heavily societally constructed. The truth of the matter is humans are primates, with natural organic origins, operating with simply a higher state of thinking than other primates. It is because
of milk, has been switched off after weaning because the lactase enzyme that breaks the sugar apart is no longer needed. But when cattle were first domesticated 9,000 years ago and people later started to consume their milk as well as their meat, natural selection would have favored anyone with a mutation that kept the lactase gene switched on. Such a mutation is known to have arisen among an early cattle-raising people, the Funnel Beaker culture, which flourished 5,000 to 6,000 years ago in north-central
the power of the individual and natural selection in his seminal book The Selfish Gene. This popular science classic breaks down the nature and foundations behind the complex and seemingly strange world of animal behavior. Dawkins revolutionarily provides a simple and original tome steeped in the intricacies of evolutionary psychology. The book, which has been praised by literary experts and scientists alike, gives a modern and articulate recap of Darwin’s natural selection, while solving the problems
Some scholars trace the origins of natural science as far back as pre-literate human societies, where understanding the natural world was necessary for survival.[5] People observed and built up knowledge about the behavior of animals and the usefulness of plants as food and medicine, which was passed down from generation to generation.[5] These primitive understandings gave way to more formalized inquiry around 3500 to 3000 BC in Mesopotamian and Ancient Egyptian cultures, which produced the first
Language is a cultural medium of communication that serves one society to communicate and have a social feature in common with its inhabitants. The early evolutionary changes that drove human history cannot merely be said that were only biological and environmental

Furthermore, the accepted benefits and drawbacks were
come from either divine design or natural selection. The notion of whether or not divine design or natural selection is the result of an organisms faculties has sparked significant debate since Darwin first proposed his theory of natural selection
environment, upbringing and life experiences determine our actions. Nature and Nurture both play a significant role in a humans life because people have natural instincts/reactions and use experiences to act the way they do at the time given. One reason that Nature and Nurture play a significant role in a humans life is because people have natural instincts and reactions. Us humans have common sense and know what’s right from wrong, what to do and what not to do. The article, Epigenetics:
as it is recently termed, of natural selection. Formulating his theory secretly from 1837-39, after returning aboard the HMS Beagle from a voyage around the world. Charles Darwin published his evolution theory, in his book entitled ‘On the Origin of Species’ two decades after his return in 1959. Darwin’s Evolutionary Theory or Darwinism is considered to be the “change in the genetic composition of a population during successive generations, as a result of natural selection acting on the genetic
