Thompson writes a letter to a local Aspen newspaper informing them that, on Christmas Eve, he was going to use napalm to burn a number of dogs and hopefully any humans they find.

Nevertheless, he admits, humans and animals differ in mental faculties in a number of ways, including: differences in memory and attention, inferential abilities, ability to make deductions in a long chain, ability to grasp ideas more or less clearly, the human capacity to worry about conflating unrelated circumstances, a sagely prudence which arrests generalizations, a capacity for a greater inner library of analogies to reason with, an ability to detach oneself and scrap one's own biases, and an ability to converse through language ( and thus gain from the experience of others ' testimonies ).

All amniotes have a broadly similar arrangement to that of humans, albeit with a number of individual variations.

A zone was a subdivision of the network that made sense to humans ( for example, " Accounting Department "); but while a network number had to be assigned to a topologically-contiguous section of the network, a zone could include several different discontiguous portions of the network.

The importance of 12 has been attributed to the number of lunar cycles in a year, and also to the fact that humans have 12 finger bones ( phalanges ) on one hand ( three on each of four fingers ).

Human evolution is characterized by a number of morphological, developmental, physiological, and behavioral changes that have taken place since the split between the last common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees.

A number of other changes have also characterized the evolution of humans, among them an increased importance on vision rather than smell ; a smaller gut ; loss of body hair ; evolution of sweat glands ; a change in the shape of the dental arcade from being u-shaped to being parabolic ; development of a chin ( only found in Homo sapiens ), development of styloid processes ; development of a descended larynx.

As the number of blogs approaches the number of possible producers ( humans ), saturation occurs, growth declines, and the number of blogs eventually stabilizes.

This claim can be understood in a number of ways, with the fundamental division being between those who argue that justice is the creation of some humans, and those who argue that it is the creation of all humans.

It is effective at killing a large number of insects, notably bed bugs and head lice ( but note toxicity to humans, see below ).

In the future that the series depicts ( beginning a few centuries from now and continuing for about a millennium afterward ) this region has been explored by humans and a number of its worlds have been colonized.

However, one might reasonably assume that humans, at some early era, realized that the weight of a collection of similar objects was directly proportional to the number of objects in the collection:

Examples of nonlethal regulatory mutations occur in HOX genes in humans, which can result in a cervical rib or polydactyly, an increase in the number of fingers or toes.

However, many species produce a far greater number of eggs during their lifetime than do humans, so that, in fish and amphibians, there may be hundreds, or even millions of fertile eggs present in the ovary at any given time.

*( 1 ) that by thought alone humans can affect random number generators in computers ;

Human biology is an interdisciplinary academic field of biology, biological anthropology, nutrition and medicine which focuses on humans ; it is closely related to primate biology, and a number of other fields.

The number of E1, E2, and E3 proteins expressed depends on the organism and cell type, but there are many different E3 enzymes present in humans, indicating that there is a huge number of targets for the ubiquitin proteasome system.

The double-stranded ( ds ) RNA viruses represent a diverse group of viruses that vary widely in host range ( humans, animals, plants, fungi, and bacteria ), genome segment number ( one to twelve ), and virion organization ( T-number, capsid layers, or turrets ).

In order to explain aspects of human intelligence as the outcome of selective pressures, it must be demonstrated that those aspects are inherited, or genetic, but this does not necessarily imply differences among individuals: a common genetic inheritance could be shared by all humans, just as the genes responsible for number of limbs are shared by all individuals.

For humans, x = n = 23, which is also written as 2n = 2x = 46.

Replacing statements including " to be " with those using becomes, remains and equals divides perception of, and expressions about, time more operationally into actual cognitive categories that humans know how to act upon:

Lilly designed a future " communications laboratory " that would be a floating living room where humans and dolphins could chat as equals and where they would develop a common language.

Work with Washoe and other signing primates motivated the foundation of the Great Ape Project, which hopes to " include the non-human great apes < nowiki > orangutans, and gorillas </ nowiki > within the community of equals by granting them the basic moral and legal protections that only humans currently enjoy ", in order to place them in the moral category of " persons " rather than private property.

The declaration states that members of the community of equals, which includes humans, may not be killed except in certain strictly defined circumstances such as self-defense.

There will be use of Titan's resources, but the partnership between humans and Taloids will be one of equals.

Caesar then attempts to free the humans, but they refuse to leave the pen unless humans are treated as equals.

Meiosis I separates homologous chromosomes, producing two haploid cells ( N chromosomes, 23 in humans ), so meiosis I is referred to as a reductional division.

In the strict sense, a chromosome complement having a number of chromosomes other than 46 ( in humans ) is considered heteroploid while an exact multiple of the haploid chromosome complement is considered euploid.

In humans proacrosin first appears in the haploid spermatids.

But humans can do something equally useful, in the case of certain enumerably infinite sets: They can give explicit instructions for determining the nth member of the set, for arbitrary finite n. Such instructions are to be given quite explicitly, in a form in which they could be followed by a computing machine, or by a human who is capable of carrying out only very elementary operations on symbols.

In the germ-line ( the sex cells ) the chromosome number is n ( humans: n = 23 ).< sup > p28 </ sup >

Consider n = 40: the human species is more than 40 generations old, yet the number 2 < sup > 40 </ sup >, approximately 10 < sup > 12 </ sup > or one trillion, dwarfs the number of humans that have ever lived.

Denoting by N the total number of humans who were ever or will ever be born, the Copernican principle suggests that humans are equally likely ( along with the other N − 1 humans ) to find themselves at any position n, so humans assume that our fractional position f = n / N is uniformly distributed on the interval < nowiki ></ nowiki > prior to learning our absolute position.

In addition to its extreme toxicity to humans, mercury has a high cross section for the ( n, gamma ) reaction, causing activation in the coolant and losing neutrons that could otherwise be absorbed in the fuel, which is why it is no longer used or considered as a coolant in reactors.

A development of Dieks's original paper by Kopf, Krtous and Page ( 1994 ), showed that the SIA precisely cancels out the effect of the Doomsday Argument, and therefore, one's birth position ( n ) gives no information about the total number of humans that will exist ( N ).

It featured cameo performances of early rock ' n ' roll stars such as Little Richard, Eddie Cochran, and Gene Vincent and His Bluecaps, fascinated a 16-year-old John Lennon by showing him, for the first time, his " worshiped " American rock ' n ' roll stars as living humans and thus further inspiring him to pursue his own rock and roll dream.

One's unconquered mind with anger, pride ( ego ), deceit, greed and uncontrolled sense organs are the powerful enemies of humans.

) The autosome pairs are labeled with numbers ( 1-22 in humans ), and allosomes are labeled with their letters.

: The inner most cortical layer, the zona reticularis produces androgens, mainly dehydroepiandrosterone ( DHEA ), DHEA sulfate ( DHEA-S ), and androstenedione ( the precursor to testosterone ) in humans.

* Bisexual species, in biology, one that has members of two different distinct sexes ( e. g. humans ), opposed to unisexual ( only one sex present, always females )

This does not require oxygen ; if no oxygen is available ( or the cell cannot use oxygen ), the NAD is restored by converting the pyruvate to lactate ( lactic acid ) ( e. g., in humans ) or to ethanol plus carbon dioxide ( e. g., in yeast ).

As antiseptics ( i. e., germicide agents that can be used on human or animal body, skin, mucoses, wounds and the like ), few of the above mentioned disinfectants can be used, under proper conditions ( mainly concentration, pH, temperature and toxicity toward humans and animals ).

A highly relevant pathogen in this context is the foot-and-mouth disease ( FMD ) virus, which is capable of causing widespread economic damage and public concern ( as witnessed in the 2001 and 2007 FMD outbreaks in the UK ), whilst having almost no capacity to infect humans.

This comb detail is also related to the centuries-old traditional romantic Irish story that, if you ever see a comb lying on the ground in Ireland, you must never pick it up, or the banshees ( or mermaids — stories vary ), having placed it there to lure unsuspecting humans, will spirit such gullible humans away.

Breatharianism is a related concept, in which believers claim food and possibly water are not necessary, and that humans can be sustained solely by prana ( the vital life force in Hinduism ), or, according to some, by the energy in sunlight ( according to Ayurveda, sunlight is one of the main sources of prana ).

Taxonomically, the phylum includes the subphyla Vertebrata, including mammals ( and thus humans ), fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds ; Tunicata, including salps and sea squirts ; and Cephalochordata, comprising the lancelets.

Several studies published since 1990 indicate that cooking meat at high temperature creates heterocyclic amines ( HCAs ), which are thought to increase cancer risk in humans.

Other prion diseases include Gerstmann – Sträussler – Scheinker syndrome ( GSS ), fatal familial insomnia ( FFI ) and kuru in humans, as well as bovine spongiform encephalopathy ( BSE, commonly known as mad cow disease ) in cattle, chronic wasting disease ( CWD ) in elk and deer, and scrapie in sheep.

Some are non-verbal ( Marmaduke, The Angriest Dog in the World ), some have verbal thoughts but are not understood by humans, ( Garfield, Snoopy in Peanuts ), and some can converse with humans ( Bloom County, Calvin and Hobbes, Mutts, Citizen Dog, Buckles, Get Fuzzy, Pearls Before Swine and Pooch Cafe ).

The four species include the leopard snake ( locally known as Ochendra ), the Balkan whip snake ( locally called Dendrogallia ), the dice snake ( called Nerofido in Greek ), and the only venomous snake is the nocturnal cat snake which has evolved to deliver its venom in to geckos and small lizards and is not dangerous to humans.

Researchers studied coyote populations in Chicago over a seven-year period ( 2000 – 2007 ), proposing that coyotes have adapted well to living in densely populated urban environments while avoiding contact with humans.

Another early step in the history of computer animation was the 1973 movie Westworld, a science-fiction film about a society in which robots live and work among humans, though the first use of 3D Wireframe imagery was in its sequel, Futureworld ( 1976 ), which featured a computer-generated hand and face created by then University of Utah graduate students Edwin Catmull and Fred Parke.

* The Mi-go aliens in the Cthulhu Mythos of H. P. Lovecraft, first appearing in the story " The Whisperer in Darkness " ( 1931 ), can transport humans from Earth to Pluto ( and beyond ) and back again by removing the subject's brain and placing it into a " brain cylinder ", which can be attached to external devices to allow it to see, hear, and speak.

In humans, the visible button-like portion is near the front junction of the labia minora ( inner lips ), above the opening of the urethra.
