Considering the fact that an overpopulatd planet may spell doom for mankind ..... are death and disease really our friends ? Is curing disease and increasing mankind's lifespan really counterproductive ??

I just need to confirm this, since I was sure until people started to disagree.

Tanning is a release of melanin right? It is different to sun burn.

If there are two people, and person a gets a tan and person b doesn't get anything, that means person a is better off because the body protects itself, and is probably less damaged than person b.

Someone who tans more or easily is better off in sunlight right? Again, there is a difference between burning and tanning.

Genetics and Throwbacks?
I was reading the other day about a South African girl born to white parents. The parents had had black ancestors, and although the parents *looked* white, they still had the black genes in them, and they produced a black child. (This is true-http://www.geocities.com/kempcountrymen/sandralaing.htm My question is, could the same happen with Asian parents producing a black child, or black parents having a white child? I'm guessing it's different. I'm curious to know.

(Just want to say, I am in no way being racist.)

I thought I read somewhere that the deer fly cycle runs about 4-5 weeks. We are going on 8 weeks with these pests here in Wisconsin. I usually enjoy a good run through my woods, but these pests have made it almost impossible. I am afraid to use deet when I go running as it would be absorbed through my skin really fast, and may be unhealthy for me. Is there any other products on the market that are natural or organic that would keep these pests off of me? How much longer am I going to have to put up with these pests? This is the worst season I can recall for them.

Darwin’s argument for the idea that evolution has occurred is largely inductive, while his argument for the mechanism of natural selection is essentially deductive. Summarize in your own words the inductive and deductive components of Darwin’s theory.

I had this thought. Surely the conditions for the creation of life still exist here on our planet and has always existed not only x million years ago. If this assumption is correct. Then in our planets natural laboritory in some places , life is still going through the same creation process that it did in the past. Would not investigation of this, settle the question once and for all how life got started ? ( from a layman )

im thinking of double majoring in biology and biochemistry but want to know if its worth the extra work. biology and biochemistry are both distinct but, also because they are very similar, would it make the double major less reputable?

i was also thinking of double majoring in biology and chemistry but i since i already have alot of the requirements completed for biochemsitry i want to stick to bio + biochem.

Also is double major only benefical if the two majors are completely different? has anyone double majored in bio + biochem?

the reason for double majoring is because i am about to finish all the requirements for biology degree in my sophmore year if i choose to therefore, it leaves me with a whole senior year and a summer term that i do not know what to do with. there is the option of getting some sort of minor but i have several biochem courses finished and because the two majors are similar the double major seems like a better idea?
