From this idea the dual inheritance theory is based, and in this theory biology and the arts work together to explain the growth of human behavior.

The leading idea is that human biology imposes narrow constraints on the child's " hypothesis space " during language acquisition.

The idea was first formulated into the field of biology in the 1790s among the German Natural philosophers, after which, Marcel Danesi states, it soon gained the status of a biogenetic law.

However, an underexplored approach is that of Helmuth Plessner, whose idea of a material a priori based in our biology and environmental interactions is only now being recognized as relevant to a hermeneutics of nature, for example, in the works of Petran Kokelkoren.

The idea of reverse transcription was very unpopular at first as it contradicted the central dogma of molecular biology which states that DNA is transcribed into RNA which is then translated into proteins.

Lovejoy played a central role in the establishment of conservation biology, by initiating the idea and planning with B.

Previously a mediocre student, Binford excelled in college and considered pursuing an academic career in biology until he was put off the idea when a professor suggested that there were " still a few species of blind cave salamanders " that he could be the first to study.

In the early 20th century, when molecular biology was in its infancy, developmental biology in particular still presented mysteries that made the idea of a specific life energy respectable, as was articulated by theorists such as Hans Driesch.

So, for Spencer, the idea of the super-organic best designated a distinct level of social reality above that of biology and psychology, and not a one-to-one identity with an organism.

The idea of human beings as machines or marionettes, with their free wills bound by biology and behaviorism, was a theme very much in vogue.

In oceanography and marine biology, the idea of the littoral zone is extended roughly to the edge of the continental shelf.

Bieberbach's and Vahlen's idea of having German mathematics was only part of a wider trend in the scientific community in Nazi Germany towards giving the sciences racial character ; there were also pseudoscientific movements for " German physics ", " German chemistry ", and " German biology ".

The concept has become firmly established as a unifying idea in biology education.

The canonical idea of synthetic biology is the creation of new life, but recently it has come to include bioengineering in terms of the use of interchangeable components to give novel outputs.

The morphogen idea has a long history in developmental biology, dating back to the work of the pioneering Drosophila geneticist, Thomas Hunt Morgan, in the early 20th century.

* " Like many great ideas in biology, the idea implicating infectious causation in chronic diseases, though simple, has far-reaching implications.

This idea was popularised by many other ecologists, and has been incorporated into most standard textbooks in conservation biology, and was used in real-world conservation planning.

Thus, the use of Taq polymerase was the key idea that made PCR applicable to a large variety of molecular biology problems concerning DNA analysis.

Michael E. Soulé is a U. S. biologist, best known for his work in promoting the idea of conservation biology.

In biology, the idea that a plant or animal becomes fitted to its environment is the result of natural selection adapting to its inherited variation.

Inspired by a biology textbook's idea of a potato cloning experiment, Neela set out to explore plant cloning.

The basic idea was to connect all European biology students, allowing for the exchange of ideas, perspectives and experiences about student concerns.

This is based on the idea that every biology student who wants to get involved possesses the right and the ability to do so.

In the Command & Conquer real-time strategy games, both the gameplay and storyline revolve heavily around the introduction to Earth of an extraterrestrial mutagen called Tiberium via meteor, which displays strikingly lifelike behaviours such as self-replication, evolution, and homeostasis, without undergoing anything like common carbon-based metabolic cycles, and which appears to be colonising the Earth, converting it into an environment unsuited to carbon-based biology.

Their unspecialized biology, flexible diet and reproductive strategy make them successful colonizers and survivors in diverse locations and conditions.

* Evolutionarily stable strategy, in evolutionary biology and game theory

It has applications in a variety of fields, including economics, evolutionary biology, political science, social psychology and military strategy.

It has applications in a variety of fields, including economics, evolutionary biology, political science, social psychology and military strategy.

These replicator equations in the context of evolutionary biology shows the growth rate of the proportion of organisms using a certain strategy and that rate is equal to the difference between the average payoff of that strategy and the average payoff of the population as a whole.

The lambda and VZV interactomes are not only relevant for the biology of these viruses but also for technical reasons: they were the first interactomes that were mapped with multiple Y2H vectors, proving an improved strategy to investigate interactomes more completely than previous attempts have shown.

The biggest challenge to Foucault's sympathetic disciples and independent researchers is this: Can they penetrate ( as it stands now ) the in-amenable impenetrable discourse that has been erected around the modern ' rational ' nation state ( rational choice theory, sociobiology, evolutionary biology, evolutionary psychology, evolutionary stable strategy, political science and foundationalism ).

Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier ( also Antoine Lavoisier after the French Revolution ; 26 August 17438 May 1794 ; ), the " father of modern chemistry ," was a French nobleman prominent in the histories of chemistry and biology.

As more detailed knowledge of biology and biochemistry developed, the colloidal theory was replaced by the macromolecular theory, which explains an enzyme as a collection of identical huge molecules that act as very tiny machines, freely moving about between the water molecules of the solution and individually operating on the substrate, no more mysterious than a factory full of machinery.

In 1928, a division of biology was established under the leadership of Thomas Hunt Morgan, the most distinguished biologist in the United States at the time, and discoverer of the role of genes and the chromosome in heredity.

Following the development of research techniques in molecular biology in the late 20th century, in particular methods for studying DNA-DNA hybridisation, a great deal of new information has surfaced, much of it suggesting that many birds, although looking very different from one another, are in fact more closely related than was previously thought.

The significance of chemotaxis in biology and clinical pathology was widely accepted in the 1930s.

* Clone — In biology and agriculture, any organism whose genetic information is identical to that of a parent organism from which it was created ; natural reproductive processes producing clones include parthenogenesis and apomixis

The website and collection of books were started in 1993 by Wendy Northcutt, who at the time was a graduate in molecular biology from the University of California, Berkeley.

Inspired by the natural sciences, especially biology, Schleicher was the first to compare languages to evolving species.

The historic emphasis and poetic naturalist writings for protection was on wild places, from notable ecologists in the history of conservation biology, such as Aldo Leopold and Arthur Tansley, were far removed from urban centres where the concentration of pollution and environmental degradation is located.

also written von Haeckel, was an eminent German biologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, professor and artist who discovered, described and named thousands of new species, mapped a genealogical tree relating all life forms, and coined many terms in biology, including anthropogeny, ecology, phylum, phylogeny, stem cell, and the kingdom Protista.

He was first introduced to biology by his brother Karl, 10 years older and, later, the director of the Zoological Museum of Hamburg.

The fin-de-siècle outlook was influenced by various intellectual developments, including Darwinian biology ; Wagnerian aesthetics ; Arthur de Gobineau's racialism ; Gustave Le Bon's psychology ; and the philosophies of Friedrich Nietzsche, Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Henri Bergson.

" According to Crick, the experience of learning physics had taught him something important — hubris — and the conviction that since physics was already a success, great advances should also be possible in other sciences such as biology.

Crick was interested in two fundamental unsolved problems of biology: how molecules make the transition from the non-living to the living, and how the brain makes a conscious mind.

It was at this time of Crick ’ s transition from physics to biology that he was influenced by both Linus Pauling and Erwin Schrödinger.

It only remained as an exercise of experimental biology to discover exactly which molecule was the genetic molecule.

Game theory was later explicitly applied to biology in the 1970s, although similar developments go back at least as far as the 1930s.

Eight game-theorists have won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, and John Maynard Smith was awarded the Crafoord Prize for his application of game theory to biology.

There is no doubt, however, that the synthesis was a great landmark in evolutionary biology.

Wells's earliest specialised training was in biology, and his thinking on ethical matters took place in a specifically and fundamentally Darwinian context.

As he studied many scientific advances of biology, astronomy, geology, and physics, Lovecraft was more and more confounded and fueled his skepticism on humanity.

He was interested in biology, but chose not to study it because of his " color-blindness and awkwardness in the laboratory ".

By the time the book on female sexuality was published, it appeared that Kinsey seemed to feel that women and men are more alike in the biology of their sexuality than he had previously thought, and that both men's and women's sexuality seemed shaped, not merely repressed, by social and cultural forces.

One of the first model systems for molecular biology was the bacterium Escherichia coli, a common constituent of the human digestive system.
