The Astrophysics of Early Galaxy Formation
Hydrogen in the universe recombined about half a million years after the Big Bang, and cooled down to a temperature of a few kelvins until the first non-linearities developed, and evolved into stars, galaxies, and black holes that lit up the universe again. In currently popular cold dark matter flat cosmologies (ΛCDM), some time beyond a redshift of 10 the gas within halos with virial temperatu...
متن کاملNatural selection
The time-scale of evolution Think of the 3.5 billion years that makes the history of life on earth as stretching for a single year. On the first of January, there is nothing more than primitive bacteria, and this remains the case for the next eight months. Multicellular eukaryotic life appears in early September, vertebrates invade the land at the beginning of December and dinosaurs become exti...
متن کاملNatural Language and Natural Selection
Many people have argued that the evolution of the human language faculty cannot be explained by Darwinian natural selection. Chomsky and Gould have suggested that language may have evolved as the by-product of selection for other abilities or as a consequence of as-yet unknown laws of growth and form. Others have argued that a biological specialization for grammar is incompatible with every ten...
متن کاملNatural Knockouts: Natural Selection Knocked Out
In functional genomics studies, research is dedicated to unveiling the function of genes using gene-knockouts, model organisms in which a gene is artificially inactivated. The idea is that, by knocking out the gene, the provoked phenotype would inform us about the function of the gene. Still, the function of many genes cannot be elucidated, because disruption of conserved sequences, including p...
متن کاملQuinolone generations: natural history or natural selection?
The quinolones have evolved from antibacterial agents with a limited spectrum of predominantly anti-gram-negative antimicrobial activity and a restricted number of indications to a class of widely used oral (and, in some cases, intravenous) antibiotics with extensive indications for infections caused by many bacterial pathogens in most body tissues and fluids. This evolutionary pattern has aris...
