  In a recent study in 2015 the scientists found remains of biotic life in a few historic rocks, Western Australia, which dated back to 4.1 billion years ago and on July, 2016 the scientists confirmed about 355 genes which were from LUCA of all the living organisms on Earth. 
  Formation, change and loss of species through the evolutionary antiquity of life on Earth are validated by common sets of biochemical and morphological traits, plus shared DNA sequences. These common individualities are like species which share a recent common ancestor and can be used to rebuild a biological tree of life centered on radical connection with the help of fossils and species which still exist. The records from fossils comprise of progress from a biogenic graphite to microbial mat fossils to multicellular organisms. The prevailing arrays of biodiversity have been designed by extinction and speciation. Almost 99% of species which have roamed planet Earth are expected to be extinct. There have been about 10 to 14 million variety of species on Earth and 1.2 million only have been documented. 
  Charles Darwin in the middle of the 19th century had verbalized a scientific theory of evolution by natural selection; his work became famous through this published book ‘On the Origin of Species’(1859). When more offspring are produced which can actually survive is termed as evolution by natural selection; there are three main facts about populacesBehaviors differ among personages with respect to physiology, morphology and behavior.Various behaviors convene diverse rates of endurance and reproduction.Behaviors and traits can be passed down to generations. 
  Therefore in sequential generations members of a certain populace are substituted by offspring of parents better adjusted to endure and breed in the biophysical atmosphere in which natural selection happens. The quality where the procedure of natural selection builds and conserves qualities which are fit for the practical parts they perform is teleonomy. Sexual and natural selection are the only identified source of adaptation but are not the only reason of evolution. Mutation, gene migration and genetic drift are other non-adaptive procedures of evolution. 
  The significance of natural selection as a reason of evolution has been recognized into other disciplines of biology. Earlier detained thoughts of evolution like evolutionism, asorthogenesis and other principles on intrinsic progress contained by the largest-scale drifts in evolution became outdated scientific philosophies. By founding and analyzing postulates, creating mathematical models of theoretical biology and biological philosophies, using observational data and executing experiments in laboratory and field the scientists continue to study various traits of evolutionary biology.

  The word Biology has been derived from two Greek words, ‘Bios' meaning ‘Life' and ‘Logos' meaning ‘Study' and thus is defined as the science that carries out studies of life, living organisms, and their evolution. 
  Biology is concerned with carrying out studies of physical structure, molecular interactions, physiological mechanisms, development, evolution and chemical processes taking place within a living organism. For biology, ‘cell’ is regarded to be the basic unit of life, ‘gene’ as the basic unit of heredity and ‘evolution’ is considered to be the engine that is responsible for driving the processes of creation and extinction of species. 
  The person possessing the knowledge of biology has the opportunities to work in a variety of fields, namely Research, healthcare, environmental conservation, education, forensic science, biotechnology, economics, business and industries, government policies and many others. 
  It has been seen that biology also referred to as the study of life has facilitated the people in shaping up the world to some extent. Within biology lies many reliable and credible answers that explanation as to why the things happen in a scientific manner. 
  The field of biology consists of numerous research fields and like, the other fields of sciences make use of the scientific method for procuring results. This gives the biologists the appropriate space and the chance that they require for display of ideas along with the evidence and also provides with the opportunity of testing others’ ideas for their own selves.

  Philosophy of Pseudoscience -...

  “A remarkable contribution to one of the most vexing problems in science: the ‘demarcation’ problem, or how to distinguish science from nonscience.” —Francisco J. Ayala, author of Darwin’s Gift to Science and Religion 
   
  What sets the practice of rigorously tested, sound science apart from pseudoscience? In this volume, the contributors seek to answer this question, known to philosophers of science as “the demarcation problem.” This issue has a long history in philosophy, stretching as far back as the early twentieth century and the work of Karl Popper. But by the late 1980s, scholars in the field began to treat the demarcation problem as impossible to solve and futile to ponder. However, the essays that Massimo Pigliucci and Maarten Boudry have assembled in this volume make a rousing case for the unequivocal importance of reflecting on the separation between pseudoscience and sound science.  
   
  Moreover, the demarcation problem is not a purely theoretical dilemma of mere academic interest: it affects parents’ decisions to vaccinate children and governments’ willingness to adopt policies that prevent climate change. Pseudoscience often mimics science, using the superficial language and trappings of actual scientific research to seem more respectable. Even a well-informed public can be taken in by such questionable theories dressed up as science. Pseudoscientific beliefs compete with sound science on the health pages of newspapers for media coverage and in laboratories for research funding. Now more than ever the ability to separate genuine scientific findings from spurious ones is vital, and The Philosophy of Pseudoscience provides ground for philosophers, sociologists, historians, and laypeople to make decisions about what science is or isn’t.

  Linux From Scratch Version 78

  There are many reasons why you would want to read this book. One of the questions many people raise is, “why go through all the hassle of manually building a Linux system from scratch when you can just download and install an existing one?”
  
  One important reason for this project's existence is to help you learn how a Linux system works from the inside out. Building an LFS system helps demonstrate what makes Linux tick, and how things work together and depend on each other. One of the best things that this learning experience can provide is the ability to customize a Linux system to suit your own unique needs.
  Another key benefit of LFS is that it allows you to have more control over the system without relying on someone else's Linux implementation. With LFS, you are in the driver's seat and dictate every aspect of the system.
  LFS allows you to create very compact Linux systems. When installing regular distributions, you are often forced to install a great many programs which are probably never used or understood. These programs waste resources. You may argue that with today's hard drive and CPUs, such resources are no longer a consideration. Sometimes, however, you are still constrained by size considerations if nothing else. Think about bootable CDs, USB sticks, and embedded systems. Those are areas where LFS can be beneficial.
  Another advantage of a custom built Linux system is security. By compiling the entire system from source code, you are empowered to audit everything and apply all the security patches desired. It is no longer necessary to wait for somebody else to compile binary packages that fix a security hole. Unless you examine the patch and implement it yourself, you have no guarantee that the new binary package was built correctly and adequately fixes the problem.
  The goal of Linux From Scratch is to build a complete and usable foundation-level system. If you do not wish to build your own Linux system from scratch, you may not entirely benefit from the information in this book.
  There are too many other good reasons to build your own LFS system to list them all here. In the end, education is by far the most powerful of reasons. As you continue in your LFS experience, you will discover the power that information and knowledge truly bring.
