Not exact matches

I went to the Answers in Genesis Web site and found an article about how these recent findings «should in no way faze creationists» because «the fossil does not resemble a human skeleton,» because it «was found in two parts,» and because the fossil's lack of a grooming claw and toothcomb «are easily explained by variation with a kind.»

In 2015, Tomasetti and Vogelstein published a widely covered Science paper that found that R mutations explain the dramatic variation in cancer incidence among human tissues better than hereditary or environmental factors — helping to illuminate why tissues in the lung or colon give rise to cancer far more frequently than tissues in bone or brain, for example.

Not so long ago, there was a hope in the research community that common genetic variation, i.e. variants present at minor allele frequencies > 5 % in human populations, might explain most or all of the heritability of common complex disease.

«The new studies complement the current GTEx project in assessing genomic variation and gene expression,» explained Simona Volpi, Pharm.D., Ph.D., GTEx program director in the Division of Genomic Medicine at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), which helps administer the program.

Despite the failure of human capital growth to explain variations in economic growth, a number of economists aver that both physical capital and human capital can explain the large international variations in income.

Whether studying behavioral, cognitive, or social - emotional development in children or the design of learning technologies to maximize understanding, you will gain a strong background in human development, the science of learning, and sociocultural factors that explain variation in learning and developmental pathways.

In comparison, human height is associated with nearly 700 variants, which cumulatively explain only ~ 20 % of the variation in adult stature.

We can explain about 20 % of the variation in human body size with about 700 genetic variants1.

Siena once explained that «all work is an affirmation of being human, of being in this particular container [the body] with locomotion and holes for intake and output -LSB-...]; motif and variation are placeholders, in part for the architecture of my consciousness, and ideally they are on a steadily rolling feedback loop.»

The detection of human causation is basically an excercise in explaining the variations we've seen.

If we include only human sources of CO2 and aerosols, then we can explain 60 to 70 % of past variations.

Your side, the side that says human emitted CO2 is the primary driver of climate change, and which (hubristically) says that natural variation can not explain all the warming we've seen, can not explain why the warming has apparently stopped for almost two decades.

When the human factors are removed, these models show that solar and volcanic activity would have tended to slightly cool the earth, and other natural variations are too small to explain the amount of warming.

Regional circulation patterns have significantly changed in recent years.2 For example, changes in the Arctic Oscillation can not be explained by natural variation and it has been suggested that they are broadly consistent with the expected influence of human - induced climate change.3 The signature of global warming has also been identified in recent changes in the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, a pattern of variability in sea surface temperatures in the northern Pacific Ocean.4

Likewise, Bhaskar et al. (2017) may be tendentiously excluding variations in natural factors like clouds and water vapour in their attribution analysis because they wish to avoid having to explain why the contribution from human activity is modest to negligible for recent decades.

The 10 - year period ending in 2007 witnessed fewer severe cold snaps than any other 10 - year period since record keeping began in 1895.2 These changes can not be explained by natural variation, and correspond very well with computer simulations that include human influences on climate.3 Snow cover has decreased in most regions, especially in the spring, and mountain snowpack has also decreased in several regions.4

Indeed, Brown explained to Media Matters that Limbaugh is «wrong» to attribute recent warming to solar activity, and added that human activity is a much bigger contributor to warming in the past century than natural variation:

Although natural variations in the solar output can explain most of the temperature variations over the past centuries, it appears that global warming by heat - trapping gases, emitted by human activity, is required to explain the sharp rise in global temperatures during the 1990s.
