PART 1: Using the internet, find 3 websites that focus on each of the following topics: (Therefore, you should find 3 websites for primate conservation, 3 for the Human Genome Project, 3 for fossil dating methods, etc.)

Primate conservation

Human Genome Project

Fossil dating methods

Human fossil finds

Future concepts (cloning, gene selection, artificial intelligence)

Describe each of the websites: who puts on (directs) the site, what topics are covered, why you like them, and what you have learned from each of the sites. (Therefore, you should be providing a description of 15 different websites.)

PART 2: Find 3 images of each of the following topics (be sure to cite which websites you obtained the images from). You should also include a brief description of each of the images. (Therefore, you should find 3 images of skeletons, 3 images of stone tools, 3 images of hominid fossils, etc.)

Skeletons (modern human or non-human primates)

Stone tools

Hominid fossils

Art objects associated with early humans (i.e., cave paintings, figurines, etc.)

Primatologists or paleoanthropologists (i.e., Jane Goodall, Don Johanson, etc.)

Choose one particular ecosystem of interest to you. Investigate and describe the organisms, both plants and animals that live there. Has this ecosystem been altered by human activity over the past 100 years? Are there any plants or animals that have been exploited for human use? How has this affected the ecosystem? Write a brief (300-500 words) reflection on what you find, beginning with a description of the ecosystem and then responding to the questions presented. This is in Environmental Survey.

It is important to consider factors influencing physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development long before the baby arrives. In this discussion, you will examine the relative roles of genetics and the environment. Environmental effects on development include both macrocultural and microcultural influences. Macrocultural influences are the broader influences on a child’s development, such as mass media, religious denomination, societal rules, or educational norms. Microcultural influences are those on a small scale, such as family eating habits, traditions, hierarchical structures, and routines.

Based on the principles of behaviorism, John B. Watson argued, tongue-in-cheek, that he could take a healthy baby and make him into a lawyer, doctor, or thief. Sandra Scarr argued that often a child’s genetic predispositions override the influence of the environment. Based on what you have learned so far about development, select a well-known movie that addresses the nature-versus-nurture question. Some examples are: The Blind Side, Rudy, and A Beautiful Mind. With reference to the film, respond to the following:

How influential is the role of genetics in the child’s development?

What about the role of the environment, temperament, and teratogenics, among others?

Teratogen: Any agent that can disturb the development of an embryo or fetus. Teratogens may cause a birth defect in the child. Or a teratogen may halt the pregnancy outright. The classes of teratogens include radiation, maternal infections, chemicals, and drugs.

Do you agree with Watson, Scarr, both, or neither?

Support your arguments with research, citing sources.

Write your initial response in 3–4 paragraphs. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
