Resumen

Los antiguos egipcios y la gente de la Edad de Piedra cosechaban miel. Este estudio revela la explotación de la cera de abeja por parte de los agricultores neolíticos en Europa, el Cercano Oriente y el norte de África desde el 7mo milenio antes de Cristo, lo que indica una asociación temprana entre humanos y abejas.

Sus antecedentes:

Las poblaciones de abejas melíferas (Apis mellifera) se enfrentan a amenazas modernas, lo que pone de relieve su importancia agrícola.
La interacción humana con las abejas melíferas es anterior a la agricultura moderna, con evidencia de la antigua iconografía egipcia y la caza de miel de la Edad de Piedra.
El momento preciso y la ubicación de la asociación de las abejas con los primeros agricultores siguen sin estar claros.

Pollination and Flower Structure

Pollination and Flower Structure

Flowers are the reproductive, seed-producing structures of angiosperms. Typically, flowers consist of sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels. Sepals and petals are the vegetative flower organs. Stamens and carpels are the reproductive organs.

Biodiversity and Human Values

Biodiversity and Human Values

Human civilization relies on biodiversity in many ways. Sudden changes in species biodiversity result in environmental changes that can modify weather patterns and therefore human civilizations.

Altruism

Altruism

Altruistic behaviors are “unselfish” behaviors—those that help another individual at the expense of the individual carrying out the behavior. Despite the negative consequences for the altruistic animal, these behaviors are thought to have evolved for several reasons.

Threats to Biodiversity

Threats to Biodiversity

There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...
