Evolutionary Bases of Human Behavior Guide to Writing the Final Research Paper

For this assignment, please choose a claim about the evolution of human behavior as your
thesis, then write an essay evaluating it. Your thesis can be a topic we have covered in class
(see below for suggestions), a claim from one of the documentaries we watched (if so, please
choose a different film from the one you wrote about for the midterm), or an observation you
have found elsewhere. Using the textbook and outside sources, argue whether and to what
extent the statement is true, laying out evidence and arguments for and against it.
