The survival of mankind and human speciation in a complex astrobiological ontext.
Journal Title: Extreme Life, Biospeology & Astrobiology - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2009, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The migration of Homo sapiens in the outer space brings one of the most ignificant environmental transformations in the history of a species. The astronomic isolation barrier is certainly stronger than the known geographic isolation. The future human colonies will split into new races, subspecies and finally new species. The survival of human civilization depends in a large extent on spread of these colonies outside our solar system and outside Milky Way.

A short review on tardigrades – some lesser known taxa of polyextremophilic invertebrates
Tardigrades are polyextremophilic small organisms capable to survive in a variety of extreme conditions. By reversibly suspending their metabolism (cryptobiosis – tun state) tardigrades can dry or freeze and, thus, survi...
Influence of physical and chemical factors on the distributional pattern of Cyanobacteria in Kumaon Region
Cyanobacteria are a group of haploid oxygenic photosynthetic blue-green algal prokaryotes. They belong to the largest, most diverse and widely distributed group of Prokaryotes. These belong to the most archaic organisms...
Texture analysis methods for the characterisation of biological and medical images
Adaptations can be extreme in many cases and they help organisms survive in their habitat or ecological niche. These adaptations can affect their anatomy, ethology or physiology. Anatomical adaptations are physical featu...
