In nature, all organisms compete with each other for resources in order to survive. Competition between members of the same species is what makes organisms evolve. This theory of competition and ‘survival of the fittest’ is called Natural Selection, and was originally proposed by Charles Darwin i
A habit is a set thought pattern that leads to automated behavior. This has the advantage that we don't have to keep rethinking what needs to be done. It just happens and can be a good thing. But a bad habit can also harm us, or keep us from developing. But we can learn and unlearn you, like every
How worried should you be if 1,4-dioxane gets into your drinking water? 1,4-dioxane is an industrial chemical used as a solvent and a stabilizer -- and in areas where there's environmental contamination, safety is an important question, especially as the substance is a probable human carcinogen. T
Have you ever asked a question that just made everyone feel awkward and uncomfortable? Sometimes, you might not be aware of what you say and end up overstepping or offending the people around you. There are questions you may ask others or even yourself that don’t really help your situation and may e
When ordinary people become crooks and criminals, it is sometimes because they learn from the wrong people. Edwin Sutherland's pioneering work in criminology has greatly expanded our understanding of exactly how this happens. His theory of "differential association" suggests that there are 9 basic r
Fossils discovered within rocks led scientists to begin to change their ideas on the creation of life on earth. JOIN our platform at www.fuseschool.org This video is part of 'Chemistry for All' - a Chemistry Education project by our Charity Fuse Foundation - the organisation behind FuseSchool. The
In 1859, Darwin's book on the origin of species was published - and what Darwin had feared then happened: he was fiercely attacked. Because it contradicted everything that people believed in at the time. Author: ZDF/TerraX/R.Schlosshan/F.Haedecke/C.Ruby/F.Wienke/Gruppe5/Jochen Schmidt Translation
When a plant or animal species that once lived stops existing entirely, we say that that species has become extinct. Why do certain species of plants and animals sometimes become extinct? According to the theory of evolution, individuals of the same species show a range of variations. Some individ
Empaths are often overlooked, misunderstood, and undervalued, in spite of their incredible gift to understand and connect with people on a much richer and deeper level. Why? Values like drive, ambition, and competitiveness come to replace empathy in today’s success-oriented society. This is why bein
What are the hazards associated with lithium-ion batteries, and how can these turn into safety risks? Last week Risk Bites looked at the bottom-line risk challenges of lithium-ion batteries. This week we take a closer look at the technology behind the batteries used in cell phones, laptops and the
What are the hazards associated with lithium-ion batteries, and how can these turn into safety risks? As Boeing grapples with lithium-ion battery safety issues in their 787 Dreamliner, Risk Bites looks at the risk science behind these batteries that are increasingly ubiquitous in cell phones, lap
