Document Summary

Aspects of the asian world: chinese terracotta warriors. Nobody knows the answer but one thing is certain: death. Funerary figures from ari ghazal near amman, jordan. Portraits simulacrum: latin from similar (images that are similar to the real objects). The criteria for the realism of these portraits often depend on social conditions. They are not realities- they are rather a mere fabrication of reality. : rooms near the burial sites- musicians+dancers serve to entertain the dead. Egyptians did not make a clear distinction of body and soul. Ka (vital spark) which distinguishes the difference between the living and the dead. They believed that ka was preserved by food and drink and so they provided food, drinks, furniture, statuettes and utensils to the mummies. Along the nile were burial places, the housing for eternity - pyramid. Commemorative structures: mastaba (in arabic means bench- rectangular shaped, stepped pyramid, pyramid. On the pillars were utensils that were to be used by the deceased.

Question 1

Evolutionary algorithms are used:

In engineering, to arrive at solutions by going through many permutations of possible solutions and allowing them to evolve.

A genetic feature of complex organisms.

A process undergone by the human brain, which is similar to evolution by natural selection.

Another term used for a computer algorithm in general.

Question 2

Human literature and languages can be studied using methods similar to those used for constructing phylogenies because:

There is no other way of studying these things.

Languages evolve roughly along the lines of species, with mutations (changes in words and pronunciation), descent with modification (languages becoming more different along the way), and branching of languages (languages giving rise to other languages that are similar to them).

Because literature and languages are constructed by organisms (human beings), so what applies to one must apply to the other.

Languages undergo a process of word swapping, which is analogous to horizontal gene transfer.

Question 3

The degree to which horizontal gene transfer occurs in eukaryotes is:

Something upon which the entire validity of evolutionary biology hinges.

A mystery that may or may not disprove evolution, but we simply don't know enough about it at this point.

Something that would overthrow the notion that this phenomenon is important in bacteria.

An interesting and potentially important aspect of biology with relevance for how evolution occurs, but not something that would call it into question one way or the other.

Question 4

Learning about the history of scientific theories and the reasons for why they are initially accepted or rejected is important mostly because:

It makes for exciting story telling, and this is very much needed to get people interested in science.

It teaches us about the process of science as it actually occurs, which is somewhat different to the idealized notion of a purely objective undertaking.

It tells us which theories are definitely true or false.

It tells us that science is actually a totally subjective process that tries to present itself as objective. In reality, personal subjective factors are the only relevant factors that really matter in science.
