Although Pasteur was not the first person to propose germ theory,
his investigations clearly supported it. He also became a strong
proponent of the theory and managed to convince most of the
scientific community of its validity. For these reasons, Pasteur is
often regarded as the father of germ theory.
DOING SCIENCE
Scientific Investigation
- a psychologically-based reaction to a
treatment that occurs just because the subject is
treated, even if the treatment has no real effect.
•Experiments in which a placebo is used
are generally blind experiments
because the subjects are "blind" to their
experimental group.
• Often, even the researchers do not know which
subjects are in each group. This type of
experiment is called a double-blind experiment
because both subjects and researchers are
"blind" to which subjects are in each group.
Human Biology
• the scientific study of the human species that
includes the fascinating story of human
evolution and a detailed accounting of our
genetics, anatomy, physiology, and ecology.
In short, .Human Biology focuses on how we got
here, how we function, and the role we play in the
natural world.
Importantly, this helps us understand human health –
how to stay healthy and how diseases and injuries
can be treated
