Why? The ring-tail lemur are adapting to change much better than the specialized types. These particular lemur are widespread and adapt to the secondary environment; the environment created by humans. These lemur will use crops of locals and other resources for survival. Other specialized lemurs, lemur that are less widespread
Transformation or Mascot? : A look at the artistic symbolism of the Olmec Jaguar M Kelly Mesoamerican Art 11/9/2011 Transforming into an actual jaguar-man, or symbolism, Mesoamerican art has an abundance of feline influenced concepts and imagery. Modern societies utilize mascots to demonstrate qualities and bring luck or benefit to themselves. The Mesoamerican cultures utilized the same symbolism qualities but to demonstrate a larger extent of importance for the Shaman or ruler’s power. They would incorporate the feline features in their dress, masks, body ornamentation, ritualistic procedures and art.

●People from the Indian subcontinent are more susceptible to heart disease not only from small lifestyle issues but mainly genetically passed down from their ancestors. ●Rickets in a bone disease in children that our deficient of vitamin D and iron, this deficiency comes from the pigment in their skin not being able to absorb the vitamin D via the sunlight. Poor diet and poor use of vitamins are also other factors along with the birth mother passing on the deficiency to the unborn child. ●Sickle cell is an inherited disorder affecting the red blood cells which grow abnormally which causes them to distort to a ‘sickle’ shape which clogs the blood vessels causing all sorts of issues with the heart and lungs. Identify a strategy or policy that might help to reduce health inequalities in this area.
[animal-testing.procon.org] Researchers in Aston University have made it known that it is not worth taking the lives of these animals for testing, because the things we’re trying to make happen with human bodies is very different from the animal body. The anatomic, metabolic, and cellular differences between animals and people make animals poor models for human beings. There is a big percentage from the 1950’s up till now that animal testing is flawed by not being correct when it is given to the people it is for. So why not just stop the animal experiments that are not just killing, but also torturing the animals.
One of the two living species of the family Giraffidae, only giraffes and okapi, their closest living relative, remain. With multiple fossil genera, Giraffidae was at one time a more substantial family. First arising 8 million years ago in South Central Europe during the Miocene period, the earliest known giraffid was the Climacoceras. The superfamily Giraffoidea and Antilocapridae evolved from the common extinct family Palaeomerycidae (Mitchell, 2003). Since the neck of the giraffe is such an important part of the study of its evolution, it is valuable to note that it became most prominent in Samotherium and Bohlinia.
It is inhumane to keep animals in small enclosures like that where they wouldn’t even get room to stretch their legs or get the chance to behave like they would naturally in the wild. The more intelligent animals (dogs, cats, pigs, primates etc) suffer from severe cases of loneliness because they lack the rights to run around and be free. How would you feel if you could not run around in a free environment? My second argument is using animals for testing cosmetics. It is estimated that over 1 million animals are killed due to companies that test their products on animals and those companies tell us that they use animals to test the safety of their products.
The study was meant to discover how syphilis affected blacks as opposed to whites; the theory being that whites experienced more neurological complications from syphilis, whereas blacks were more susceptible to cardiovascular damage. In the case of Tuskegee Syphilis, 600 black men were used as laboratory animals in a long and inefficient study of how long it takes syphilis to kill someone (Gray, 1998). In my reaction I am appalled at the public health system for allowing the study to conclude as long as it did. In my opinion this is a clear example of discrimination. Discrimination may be based on differences due to age, ability, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic by which people differ (CDC, 2013).
In incisive cases the child may develop missing limbs, extra limbs as a result of having identical DNA. A mother may choose to abort early on when a problem is detected because it is not fair for that child to live a life “mutated” or like a vegetable for their entire life. Incest may pose some issues such as rape does STD’s that can be passed to the child & become life threatening. Also incest is just as traumatic as rape and can cause long term and short term
Zoos can be used to channel the public eye onto the increasing problems of extinctions of animals, and the entrance fee money that the public pays to them can be put towards building better enclosures for the animals in the zoo. Also, endangered animals that are bred in zoos can be integrated and released into the wild to increase the wild population of those species. However captive breeding can reduce the genetic diversity, as the gene pool is smaller, which may result in less individuals that are able to breed due to a reduction in the fertility. If the genetic diversity gets too low, then it can be irreversible. Also, by zoos drawing the public attention, this can divert people from seeing the real cause of the problem of the endangered species, which may be such as their habitat being destroyed, or an increase of predators in their environments.
