  2. Human impact on marine life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_impact_on_marine_life

    Human activities affect marine life and marine habitats through overfishing, habitat loss, the introduction of invasive species, ocean pollution, ocean acidification and ocean warming. These impact marine ecosystems and food webs and may result in consequences as yet unrecognised for the biodiversity and continuation of marine life forms. [3]

  3. Nutritional epigenetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutritional_epigenetics

    The epigenome of an organism can be triggered by just about any environmental signal, including climate change, food/water supply, plant nutrient, temperature etc. It has been estimated that more than 60% of deaths in humans are related to nutritional or dietary factors rather than environmental triggers.

  4. History of cancer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_cancer

    Since 1971 the United States has invested over $200 billion on cancer research; that total includes money invested by public and private sectors and foundations. [17] Despite this substantial investment, the country has seen just a five percent decrease in the cancer death rate (adjusting for size and age of the population) between 1950 and ...

  5. Marine biogeochemical cycles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_biogeochemical_cycles

    Human activities such as fossil fuel combustion, use of artificial nitrogen fertilizers, and release of nitrogen in wastewater have dramatically altered the global nitrogen cycle. [40] [41] [42] Human modification of the global nitrogen cycle can negatively affect the natural environment system and also human health. [43] [44]

  6. Carcinogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinogenesis

    Carcinogenesis, also called oncogenesis or tumorigenesis, is the formation of a cancer, whereby normal cells are transformed into cancer cells. The process is characterized by changes at the cellular, genetic, and epigenetic levels and abnormal cell division. Cell division is a physiological process that occurs in almost all tissues and under a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainable_food_system

    Despite the fact that throughout all food production an estimated 20-30% of food is wasted, there have been efforts to combat this issue, such as campaigns conducted to promote limiting food waste. [168] However, due to insufficient facilities and practices as well as huge amounts of food going unmarketed or harvested due to prices or quality ...

  8. Human impact on the nitrogen cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_impact_on_the...

    Human activities dominate the global and most regional N cycles. [36] N inputs have shown negative consequences for both nutrient cycling and native species diversity in terrestrial and aquatic systems. In fact, due to long-term impacts on food webs, Nr inputs are widely considered the most critical pollution problem in marine systems. [8]

  9. Timeline of human evolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_human_evolution

    The timeline of human evolution outlines the major events in the evolutionary lineage of the modern human species, Homo sapiens, throughout the history of life, beginning some 4 billion years ago down to recent evolution within H. sapiens during and since the Last Glacial Period. It includes brief explanations of the various taxonomic ranks in ...
