Document Summary

Draft introduction: introduce topic and establish thesis (no more then 1,5 page) A legal concept and its for the causation of death by the mother. In canada covers the child up to one year of its life. Not every instance is found to be infanticide (an issue of mental illness ahs to be there (one of the only sex specific crimes) The status saying child birth and lactation can make women nuts to kill there child. These can be seen as a sexist pathology of women, and re-enforces a stereotypes (they are frail because they are women) This kind of talk reinforces that women are frail and unworthy of important figure. In the uk, infanticide passed in 1922 [and psychology had a significant part in the law/ and psychiatry joined in in the stereotyping of women- women"s deviance is part of them as individuals, and all women have this flaw]

5) Many different species of seabirds nest in densely packed colonies on offshore islands. In some species, infanticide (adults killing the offspring of other adults) is relatively common. But in other species of seabirds nesting under similar conditions, infanticide rarely, if ever, occurs. Describe an adaptive hypothesis for evolution of infanticide in seabirds (2). List two specific predictions that derive from your hypothesis (1). Describe what data you would need to test one of them (2).

Spotted hyenas are an unusualspecies. They are extremely social and have very complex socialbehavior. The females are extremely aggressive and are dominant tothe far less aggressive males. Female genitalia is extremelymasculinized with no external vagina and a hypertrophied clitoristhat resembles a penis in size, shape, and the ability to becomeerect. They mate and give birth through this organ, which causes asmany as 18% to die during their first birthing and 60% of the survivors to lose theirfirstborn young.

This is a female.
Note the pseudo-penis.

Several hypotheses have been floated as to why such a thingwould evolve. For each of these hypotheses, lay out thefollowing:

What sort of evolutionary process produced the masculinizedgenitalia?
What evidence would you need to support/refute thathypothesis?

Hypotheses:

Mimicry: Females are using these masculine genitalia to mimicthe submission rituals of the males.

Anti-Infanticide: Females are aggressive as a countermeasure tomale infanticide (males killing infants). The aggressiveness iscaused by increased androgens (male sex hormones like testosterone)in the females, which in turn causes masculinized genitalia.

Competition: Dominant females produce more cubs and her cubshave a strong advantage in access to meat. The aggressiveness iscaused by increased androgens (male sex hormones like testosterone)in the females, which in turn causes masculinized genitalia.
