ACCHS Biology - Week 1

Hi , 

My name is Allen Duong.

I'm a 3rd year student at ACCHS. Somehow I missed this class during the 1 year as it was not offered. In the second year, it was offered on a day that I was not scheduled for class. In the 3rd year, I figured that I better take this class if I want to graduate. Look forward to meeting everyone and learn about Biology. Everyone appear to come from different background and seem friendly.

Todays discussion was interesting. We spoke about Darwinism. Darwinism is an interesting topic. It was elementary in its early concepts and theories, yet it was profound and shocking to the established theories of human origin and evolution.


I personally do not prescribe to Darwinism. I do believe in Microevolution but not Macroevolution. I believe that there is no strong evidence for Macroevolution but that there is strong evidence for Microevolution. In Microevolution, a short hair dog can have genes for long hair and the off springs can very much be born with long hair. In Macroevolution, I do not believe that all life is genetically related and has descended from a common ancestor. A human did not come from a single cell organism over billions of years. A lot of genetic information would have to be added to the dna to make big changes or Macroevolution.
