Wishful Thinking
One of Freud’s core beliefs was that dreams can be used to fulfill wishes
64
the visible content
defined by Freud as
the actual subject
matter of dreams.
Latent and Manifest Content
65
Symbolism in dreamwork
Freud suggested dreams are a result of "DreamWork," a
process where the unconscious mind transforms latent content into a more accessible form.

Freud held that a number of dream images and activities had sexual or hostile connotations.
Aggressive and Sexual Content
67
Notable ideas were existent even before the Intellectual Revolution
Pre-revolution notions greatly affected human perspective and ultimately shaped early societies
The precursors include:
1. All-Wise Creator - relies on the concept of "Wherever there is design, there is a designer.
2. Judeo-Christian Creationism - a belief that Earth was created by a God in six days and man on the seventh day.
3. The Great Chain of Being - metaphysical view of the universe where all beings from the most basic up to the very highest are hierarchically linked to form one interconnected whole.
4. Geocentrism - The belief that the Earth was the center of the universe, which was challenged by Copernicus and Galileo
68
Intellectual Revolution
Challenged the early notions with groundbreaking ideas.
Pivotal moments when society reevaluates its fundamental beliefs.
Prominent revolutions include:
1. Copernican Revolution: The shift from a geocentric to a heliocentric view of the cosmos.

72
this Key Figure meticulous observations, experiments, and writings laid the foundation for the revolution
Charles Darwin
73
who is Alfred Russel Wallace?
-A British naturalist who independently arrived at the theory of evolution by natural selection around the same time as Darwin.
-Wallace's contributions provided additional support for the theory.
-In 1858, he sent Darwin a manuscript outlining his ideas, which prompted Darwin to publish his own work.
74
Referred to as "Darwin's Bulldog," was a biologist and strong advocate of Darwin's theory
Thomas Henry Huxley
75
Who is Thomas Henry Huxley?
-He defended and promoted the theory of evolution through his writings and debates.
-An outspoken defender of Darwin and a popularizer of Darwinian theory.
76
American botanist who played a crucial role in spreading Darwin's ideas in the United States.
-He corresponded with Darwin and wrote essays that helped bridge the gap between evolution and religion, making it more acceptable to many Americans.
Asa Gray
77
Joseph Dalton Hooker
-A British botanist and close friend of Charles Darwin
-He provided valuable support for Darwin's ideas, particularly in the field of botany, by helping to gather and compile evidence for natural selection.
78
who is John Gould?
-An ornithologist who collaborated with Darwin.
-Gould's work on the Galápagos finches and other bird species contributed to -Darwin's understanding of adaptive radiation and the diversity of species.
79
Who is Charles Lyell?
-A geologist whose work on uniformitarianism and the concept of geological time greatly influenced Darwin.
-Darwin's ideas about gradual, long-term changes in species were influenced by Lyell's geological principles.
80
The Darwinian Revolution marked a profound shift in our understanding of life on Earth.
Challenged traditional beliefs about the origin of species, suggesting a naturalistic explanation.
The prevailing idea of creation rooted in religious and philosophical views were heavily questioned.
The Darwinian Revolution
81
Charles Darwin's revolutionary idea was to propose a naturalistic mechanism for how species change over time without invoking supernatural explanations. This shift in perspective marked a watershed moment in the history of science and thought.
The Darwinian Revolution
82
What are the 3 Central Concepts of Darwinian Revolution?
1. Common Descent
2. Natural Selection
3. Adaptation
83
Greatly based on his book "On the Origin of Species"
-Describe how organisms evolve over generations through inheritance of adaptive traits that are better suited for the environment.
-Later developed into Theory of evolution
84
Charles Darwin's theory of evolution is a foundational concept in biology that explains how species change over time.
Species that have high traits to adapt are more likely able to survive in their environment and produce more offspring than those with less traits.
Four key points of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution:
1. Variation
2. Inheritance
3. Selection
4. Survival of the Fittest
PS. Charles Darwin's theory of evolution was heavily influenced by the observations he made during his voyages.
85
1. VARIATION
A. Individuals of a species are not identical
B. In all species, individuals differ in their genetic makeup, producing many variations in their physical features.
86
2. INHERITANCE
A. Traits are passed from generation to generation
B. Inherited traits that improve the odds of survival are more likely to be passed on to subsequent generations.
87
3. SELECTION
A. Most species produce more offspring each year than the environment can support.
B. This high birth rate results in competition among the members of the species for the limited natural resources available.
C. Only the surviving individuals breed and pass on their genes to the next generation.
88
4. SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST
A. Over time, selection results in changes in species.
B. Some individuals survive the struggle for resources.
C. These individuals reproduce, adding their genes to the succeeding generations.
D. Conditions in the environment result in the survival of individuals with specific traits which are passed through heredity to the next generation
89
Natural Observations/ Facts
1. Enormous fertility/ species multiplication in geometric progression
2. Number of Survivors of offspring remain constant
CONCLUSION:
Due to struggle for existence
90
CONCLUSION:
Survival of the fittest; natural selection
Natural Observations/ Facts
1. Struggle for existence
2. Variation/ heredity of characteristics and genes
91
Natural Observations/ Facts
1. Survival of the fittest; natural selection
2. Progressive environmental changes (changes in the surroundings)
CONCLUSION:
Origin of New Species
92
The 9 Limitations of Darwin's Theory?
1. Genetics
2. Biochemistry
3. Paleontology
4. Taxonomy
5. Humans show many behavioral and cognitive traits and abilities that offer no apparent survival advantage (e.g. music, art, religion, ability to ponder the nature of the universe).
6. Darwinism described small fluctuating variations yet did not include the sudden variations (mutation) when explaining evolution
7. Did not explain and cover the use and disuse of vestigial organs in species and their evolutionary line
8. Covered the concept of survival of the fittest but did not cover the concept of arrival of the fittest (invasive species as a factor)
9. Did not explain the evolution of terrestrial species coming from aquatic species
93
Random mutations cause harm to organisms and do not build complexity.
Genetics
94
Random and undirected processes do not seem capable of producing cellular complexity.
Biochemistry
95
The fossil record shows abrupt appearance and generally lacks intermediate fossils.
Paleontology
96
Despite DNA discoveries, biologists are failing to reconstruct Darwin’s ‘tree of life’.
Taxonomy
97
the 5 Advantages of Darwinism
1. Explanation of Biodiversity provides a comprehensive and naturalistic explanation for the incredible diversity of life on Earth.
2. It informs everyone that all animals and beings have the ability to evolve.
3. Stepping stone toward knowing that our ancestors were apes. (If Darwin’s theory had not been discovered, we would never have known that our ancestors were apes).
4. The teaching on the power of natural selection and mutations prove as beneficial to the society by allowing a species to adapt environmental changes.
5. Darwinism has predictive power that enables us to make predictions about the natural world.
98
The 4 Disadvantages of Darwinism
1. The Darwinian Revolution promoted "typological thinking," which views evolution as a linear development rather than the intricate web of interrelationships that it actually is.
2. Divided people in terms of their belief who belong to the same religion.
3. Sparked a debate over creation vs. evolution that placed science and religion against one another.
4. The way of writing the Darwinian revolution was comprised of discriminatory beliefs and practices.
99
Contributions to Science, Technology, and Society
1. The Darwinian Revolution has had profound and far-reaching contributions to various aspects of Science, Technology, and Society (STS)
2. Advancements in Biological Sciences:
It provided a unifying framework that allowed scientists to study and understand the diversity of life on Earth. This foundation has led to numerous breakthroughs in genetics, ecology, and evolutionary biology.
3. Medicine and Disease Understanding:
The study of evolution helps us understand the evolution of diseases, such as the development of antibiotic resistance in pathogens. Additionally, it informs the study of human genetics and susceptibility to diseases.
100
Contributions to Science, Technology, and Society (part 2)
4. Environmental Science and Conservation:
Provide a framework for understanding how species adapt to their environments and how ecosystems evolve over time. Conservation efforts often take into account the principles of evolution to protect biodiversity and fragile ecosystems.
5. Ethics and Philosophy:
Raised profound ethical and philosophical questions about our place in the natural world. It challenged traditional religious views of creation and led to discussions about the relationship between science and religion.
6. Technological Applications:
In technology, the understanding of evolution has applications in fields like artificial intelligence, where evolutionary algorithms are used to optimize solutions.
