What are some filipino scientists who have made contributions to the research of evolution?

So, I have this project on Science where I have to list a couple of filipino scientists who made contributions to the research of evolution. I’ve tried searching up using different words but none of them really was the kind of things I was looking for. I’m supposed to put their name in and the research they’ve provided for evolution. If you know any, you can just put in their name and I’ll do the research on them.. So anyways, thanks in advance :)

Manny Pacquiao – Famous filipino scientist has proven that humanoid with 80 IQ can make a well-off living in the modern world

I saw one article about a Filipino who invented the Incubator for babies.
The name is Fe del Mundo.

I hope this applies to the category that you need.

Survey: which do you believe biblical theory or evolution theory?

How about making my own theory. God made monkeys and then it evolved into human form

The bible is not a "theory" it’s religious mythology with no basis in reality.If you choose to "believe" in things it says it that’s your choice but don’t mistake it for science or truth.

Evolution is a well-established and proven process that is accepted by virtually all the scientific community throughout the world and by the vast majority of educated people.

sigh

BELIEVE IN?

I accept the findings of SCIENCE, because that’s what SANE people do. So, I suppose you can describe that as "believing in" — thought it’s hardly on a par with believing in the Easter Bunny, for instance.

"Biblical theory" is much too high a compliment to give the bat-sh*t crazy rantings of "creationists." (I can’t even bring myself to type the word ‘science’ next to ‘creationist.’)

Why not both?How do we know God didn’t use evolution to create the animals on the earth?Everything except for Humans, we are obviously not descended from an animal as we have basically nothing in common with animals.

Sumerian version of creation. It was written in cuneiform 10,000 years before the Torah or other writings copied it and modified it to fit individual belief’s.The sumerian version has a much more believable story of creation and who God is.

Evolutionary theory. There is no such thing as biblical theory, only empty claims.

I don’t believe in anything. I accept some things as true. I accept the theory of evolution.

There is no such thing asbiblical "theory", it’s all a bunch of fairytale nonsense.

They are one in the same. Heavenly father just operates on a different sense of time, but he follows the laws of nature.

I need help with anthropology homework!?

SO, i have to answer a question that says "What makes us human?"
Part 1: Adress how a cultural anthropologist would answer this question
- firm statement comfirming what makes humans a unique species
- evidence that confirms

Par 2: Address how a physical anthropologist would answer
(same as up top firm statement confirm + evidence)

If someone could help out much would be appreciated thank you <3

As a biological (physical) anthropologist myself my answer is, of course, going to be a little biased.

Cultural anthropologists often define humans as unique through our cultural achievements; civilisation, art and music. Our ability to communicate in a symbolic manner is also often put forward.

As for evidence that confirms this, cultural anthropologists don’t often have all that much evidence, they often base these assumptions on how they feel about things and then try to superimpose that onto what is known. Sounds a bit harsh, but I’m a scientist and as such don’t really buy into wishy, washy cultural anth thinking.

A physical anthropologist would define a human as the only extant member of the genus Homo. Our closest living genetic relatives are to be found in the genus Pan who share some aspects of our affinity for tool use (more so troglodytes in the wild) and cultural traditions (types of tool use and gestures are unique to given populations). There are some aspects of our genetic make up that distinguish us from other great apes, namely those that favour a bipedal posture and language. There are some who have argued that various other primates also communicate via vocalisations with specific meanings (vervet monkeys and their predator calls, troglodytes and food calls).

In short, we humans are unique but only to a point. To paraphrase Charles Darwin; what separates us from the apes are differences of degree, not of kind.

I didn’t provide citations as you should find them yourself, I’m not doing your whole homework exercise for you!

I am not going to essay this for you, been there done that… ;) , I will however give you some points to expound upon:

Part 1:
- Advanced Tool users
- Urban Centers
- Both Agri- and horti- culture
- Written Language
- Fire use
- Religion

Part 2 -
- Prehensile Grip
- Brain size in proportion to skull size
- Fully Bipedal
- DNA
- mandible orientation and structure

I hope that helps you get started.

And I take great offense to calling cultural studies wishy washy.How arrogant of you to say.To imply that we are not scientists, that we do not most often employ empirical methodology, and make sound deductive reasoning is erroneous and pompous.Cultural and physical anthros often work side by side to understand our path both past and present, do not elevate your own ego to a level where you are ostracizing your colleagues based on your wishy washy conclusions about cultural anth.

Did "Melanesians" originally come from southern India or even Africa at one point in time?

how Africans were maybe used as slaves in southern asia and india and by who and when? how they were transported to far away places such as Australia and beyond to Easter Island etc?

whose ships they were on and when again? (As this was obviously way before Europeans began this kind of thing)

please explain what you can..and how people theorize in the modern science world about them? also, why "melanisia" is the name for these people? how similar to southern indians and how similar to blacks and even spanish maybe? as they kind of look like an even mixture of all three dont they? how so?

thanks fo ryour answers!

While we all came from Africa originally the ancestors of modern Melanesians arrived long before the African slave trade started. While some slaves were taken to India modern Melanesians are a mixture of people from the earliest migration into SE Asiaand later Austronesians migrants to varying degrees and also apparently Denisovans according to the latest research.
