Something about humans and bonobos !??!???
Im leaning towards something concerning the evolution of the first cell, because i cant be terribly wrong or right :) Ambiguous A ftw.
-
your question is not specific enough. What exactly do you need to do?
-
Well mainly reading a subsequent set of papers on Sociobiology and Evolutionary Psychology from brewer,cantor,broughton,dupre and case and coming up with an original idea on what you think are the determining factors concerning human behavior. But since i suck my teacher's cock he gave me carte blanche on the the topic to discuss. I was leaning towards probably reading the selfish gene and shit on it.
-
Human behavior? You can argue for either genetic predisposition, environmental influence, or both. Pick some not very well researched material like genetic memory if you just want to talk bs.
-
Fuck the nature vs nurture crap. But noted on the genetic memory, i personally like more biochem/cell molec driven stuff, i hope it falls into that category. Can you elaborate or do i need to wikipedia.
-
You can discuss how it's possible that certain fundamental human behaviors also existed in ancestors of H. Sapiens.

Thats pretty a pretty decent subject to prance around. You can practically utilize anecdotal life experiences as empirical data, but its boring as fuck imo. Aight well thanks for the suggestions smooth groove. Was expecting the thread to derail into LOLcounty.

Talk about how language and memes affect our life and help to determine (to our detriment or our success) ou lives.

The selfish gene is actually pretty decent. Although it is geared more towards the layman. You could definately take the argument of whether or not the bodies are just vessals for genes to reproduce.
