Europeans' understanding of science, evolution, more advanced than Americans

A Look Into Natural Selection and its Mechanisms
The paper briefly introduces Darwin and his voyage aboard the HMS Beagle. Evolution, and its tool, natural selection, are discussed. Methods of natural selection, such as genetic drift and allopatric speciation are also discussed.

Failure of anti-tumor immunity inmammals - evolution of the hypothesis
Anti-tumor immunity failure in mammals can be defined as an immunoreproductive phenomenon, which is developed under the evolutionary pressure of autoimmunity and reproductive effectiveness.
