One mistake which Wilkinson urges us to avoid is to picture human characteristics as having evolved in relation only to a physical environment one of the primary hostile forces has always been other human beings. The importance of social interactions should not be underestimated. One example that he gives is that blood pressure tends to rise when people are interviewed by a higher- rather by than an equal- or lower-status interviewer. This is fundamentally a response of the sympathetic nervous system to the social anxiety induced by interacting with someone who is of higher social status.

You may have noticed another poetic device at work in this poem. In line 1, the poet tells us that the eagle ( he ) clasps the rock with crooked hands. Do eagles have hands No, they do not but Tennyson gives the eagle human characteristics. When an animal is given human characteristics, or when a inanimate thing (like a rock, for example) is given animate characteristics (human or animal), it is called personification. 

Once there is a measure of the concentration of the pesticide in the exposure medium (air, water, food, etc.) in contact with the body or the actual concentration that comes into contact with the body, a daily dose metric can be calculated (e.g. maximum, average, geometric mean, etc.). This typically involves developing a mathematical equation that expresses dose as a function of pesticide concentration and other important parameters referred to as human exposure factors (USEPA, 1999a). In the context of this discussion, the term human exposure factor refers specifically to (a) human characteristics, such as body weight, surface area, life expectancy, inhalation rates for air and consumption rates for food, drinking water and soil (b) human behaviors, such as activity patterns, occupational and residential mobility and consumer product use, which are used by exposure assessors to calculate potential dose. 

An uncertainty analysis involves the determination of the variation of imprecision in an output function based on the collective variance of model inputs. One of the five issues in uncertainty analysis that must be confronted is how to distinguish between the relative contribution of variability (i.e. heterogeneity) versus true certainty (measurement precision) to the characterization of predicted outcome. Variability refers to quantities that are distributed empirically - such factors as soil characteristics, weather patterns and human characteristics - which come about through processes that we expect to be stochastic because they reflect actual variations in nature. These processes are inherently random or variable, and cannot be represented by a single value, so that we can determine only their moments (mean, variance, skewness, etc.) with precision. In contrast, true uncertainty or model specification error (e.g. statistical estimation error) refers to an input that, in theory, has a single value, which cannot be known with precision due to measurement or estimation error. 

Some people get all apoplectic over anthropomorphism (assigning human characteristics such as likes and dislikes to nonhuman animals or objects) in science. I don t. I say if it helps you understand, go for it. If anyone really thinks atoms think like humans, science might not be that person s thing.

So what could be more obvious than to use man himself as a measuring instrument so that these sensations, which are of such importance for a flavouring, can be measured. Because the ultimate tester of the product, the consumer, is also a human being. Furthermore the human senses are far superior in this respect to normal measuring instruments. As the complex pattern of a product is composed of many sensory pictures from many sensory mosaics , a normal measuring instrument cannot record these. Quite apart from this, psychological influences also pay an important part. We therefore also try to objectify this subjective human characteristic by means of Sensory . 

Because most human characteristics are double-edged, having both beneficial and harmful potentials, even strengths have their downsides. Parents often find a self-involved and assertive only child hard to handle. "We didn t know when we encouraged him to speak his mind that we were training him to argue with us later on." "We didn t know when we supported the interests she loves that she would become so intolerant of doing what she doesn t like."...

The curiosity that enabled Zasloff to advance the field of medicine also catalyzed the development of atomic structure. We will see the product of this fundamental human characteristic in the work of Crookes, Bohr, and others throughout this chapter. 

Since then things have changed a bit. But man hasn t. At least he hasn t yet lost that human characteristic that makes him wary of new things. Most of us still approach change with some degree of trepidation. And because we...
