Evolution From A Molecular Perspective


Introduction: Why globular evolution?

Evolution has been a heavily debated issue since Charles Darwin first
documented the theory in 1859. However, until just recently, adaptation at a
molecular level has been overlooked except by the scientific world. Now with
the help of modern technology, the protein sequences of nearly every known
living thing have either been established or are in the process of establishment,
and are widely accessible via the internet. With the knowledge of these
sequences, one can actually look at several organisms genetic codes and point
out the similarities. Entire genomes of creatures have been sequenced, and the
human genome project is well underway and ahead of schedule. With this new
knowledge comes worries, for humans, however. What if the information stored in
our genes was available to the public? Would insurance companies and employers
base their selections on these traits? Also, with the total......
