Document Summary
Life now is being impacted by previous events. Adults" decisions now are affection life of offspring. Reproduction: diploid adult produces haploid cells. Degenerative disease: copd, coronary artery disease, chronic renal failure, arthritis. Life expectancy raises the higher the age you"re estimating their life span at: only life expectancy change that rose over the years was that of babies. Adult"s life expectancy didn"t raise that much. Nature exists independent of our ideas about: science is observational and experimental, science is rational, results of scientific inquiry are publicly reported and reproducible. Fabrication: making up date/results and recording/reporting them. Falsification: manipulating research materials/procedure so that the research record is inaccurate, plagiarism. Pathological science: legit scientists manage to fool themselves into thinking they are right and refuse to believe they are wrong. Junk science: when one side of scientists don"t believe another scientific theory is correct, used to deceive people w/ very little scientific backround.
