  1. of course! Im not a biologist, but this seems to me like a common sense question.

    There are always different things being discovered and questions being asked every day. one big one-

    Think about how the world came around. The big bang? i think so. first of all, how do we prove this? and furthermore, if it is true, what caused it? and then what caused that?

    if all of the questions have been answered by the time you finish your education, or even by the time you are dead and your great-great-great grandchildren are born, i'd be extremely surprised


  2. Heck yes!  The important fact is that even if you think you know something in biology, additional evidence might change theories.  Additional technologies might allow us to gather information we could never collect before.  Up until the early part of the 1900's, they weren't even sure if DNA or proteins were the hereditary material.  We only successfully acquired the human genome sequence (and not all the variations) within the past decade.  And as we are able to gather more information, more questions arise.  The question in 1800 is, "Why do we look like our parents?"  The question in 1900 is, "How we do we pass on  information from parents to kids?"  The question in 2000 is, "How does genetic variation contribute to human health?"

    It will never end, but you can't stop because each bit of information helps us explain our purpose on this earth all the more.
