Remote Ready Biology Learning Activities has 50 remote-ready activities, which work for either your classroom or remote teaching.
What's the point?
What are the biological functions or uses of this type of fracturing of the I-function? How does this type of development advance us? As hominids homo sapiens, we have a larger brain case and larger brain than earlier homonids. Does this mean our ifunction is able to act more and more independantly and in more fragments as we develop? Do animals have the ability to dream just like us? When we see a dog twitching or moving his legs, we say "aww he's chasing a rabbit in his sleep." Is he really dreaming? Is his i-function active during his rem sleep also or is it just the body emitting excess inputs that the body receives during sleep? I would like to know how any and all of this contributes to our further evolution.
