    Extractions: Research interests: Generally, the relationships among demography and ecology in the evolution of complex sociality. How are age and 'altruism' related? Rainfall and coalition formation? Things like that. One application of such an approach is to the study of early hominid behavioral ecology, and a lot of my current work relates to that. At right, I'm collecting hair from a chimpanzee nest in Ugalla, Tanzania (the hair yields DNA for population genetic work, and the location of nests can tell us about ape use of savanna habitats).

Courses A variety of handouts and other teaching- related materials. STUDENTS: this is the place for handouts on research papers, who cares about fossil names, and other nifty things. African Ape Study Sites This is an archive of information on field sites where gorillas, chimpanzees and bonobos have been studied. It is intended for use by researchers interested in comparative socioecology, and contains data, maps, photographs, site bibliographies and the like.

34. The Biological Basis Of Ethics, By Peter Singer
    Chapter excerpted from 'The Expanding Circle Ethics and sociobiology' (Oxford, 1981).  
    http://www.utilitarian.net/singer/by/1981----.htm
    
    Extractions: The Biological Basis of Ethics Peter Singer Excerpted from The Expanding Circle: Ethics and Sociobiology , New York, 1981, pp. 23-53 We should all agree that each of us is bound to show kindness to his parents and spouse and children, and to other kinsmen in a less degree; and to those who have rendered services to him, and any others whom he may have admitted to his intimacy and called friends; and to neighbours and to fellow-countrymen more than others; and perhaps we may say to those of our own race more than to black or yellow men, and generally to human beings in proportion to their affinity to ourselves. HENRY SIDGWICK, The Methods of Ethics Every human society has some code of behavior for its members. This is true of nomads and city-dwellers, of hunter-gatherers and of industrial civilizations, of Eskimos in Greenland and Bushmen in Africa, of a tribe of twenty Australian aborigines and of the billion people that make up China. Ethics is part of the natural human condition. That ethics is natural to human beings has been denied. More than three hundred years ago Thomas Hobbes wrote in his Leviathan: During the time men live without a common Power to keep them all in awe they are in that condition called War; and such a war, as is of every man against every other man.... To this war of every man against every man, this also is consequent; that nothing can be Unjust. The notions of Right and Wrong, Justice and Injustice have there no place.

35. Behavior OnLine: Evolutionary Psychology
    Brief introduction to evolutionary psychology and sociobiology.  
    http://www.behavior.net/column/brody/
    
    Extractions: EVOLUTIONARY PSYCHOLOGY, SOCIOBIOLOGY, AND CLINICAL PHENOMENA James Brody, Ph.D. Adapted Mind , (Oxford, 1992) rests on assumptions that: the human mind is a mosaic of "information processing systems" that are extraordinarily efficient in handling specific kinds of stimuli and responses to them, human evolution has been generally static since the Pleistocene, these systems are "content specific" and generate many invariant aspects of human culture. There are problems and benefits with this view. EP would appear to share the same circular morass of the Instinct Crowd from decades ago. ("Why do we eat cheese?" "It's instinctive." "How do we know it's instinctive?" "Because so many of us do it.") There are two escapes: (1) EP will use hunter-gatherer hypotheses to generate predictions about unstudied, subtle aspects of human performance in cognitive and social tasks. (2) It also tries to weaken the circularity issue by specifying physiological systems that solve an adaptive problem. Rather than assuming the independent evolution of a dozen components that just happen to work well together, EP asks "What adaptive problem is solved? What physiological resources would be needed to solve it? Is it possible that visual and motor systems work so well because their interplay led to fuller bellies at some point long ago?"

37. Selfish Genes, Paradise Engineering And The Post-Darwinian Transition
    How genetic engineering will get rid of suffering in all sentient life.  
    http://www.sociobiology.com/
    
    Extractions: Heaven on Earth? "...for just as the smallpox virus was systematically hunted down to extinction, so the precise molecular signature(s) of aversive experience and its predisposing genes will be hunted down and wiped out as well. The systematic application of nanotechnology, self-reproducing micro-miniaturised robots armed with supercomputer processing power, and ultra-sophisticated genetic engineering, perhaps using retro-viral vectors, will cure the root of all evil in its naturalistic guise throughout the living world. And once the pain has gone, with the right genes and designer drugs there's no reason why life shouldn't just get better and better.... "

    http://www.science.mcmaster.ca/psychology/psych1a6/1aa3/anbehavmenu.htm
    
    Extractions: Animal Behavior and Sociobiology Lecture 1: In this lecture we introduce the field of animal behavior, and its roots in European ethology and North American comparative psychology. We then discuss the kinds of questions that animal behaviorists ask, with some examples from specific species. Lecture 2: In this lecture we look at one of the most influential models in animal behavior: the psychohydraulic model of Konrad Lorenz. We will explore the ways in which this model accounts for a number of features of animal behavior. Lecture 3: In this lecture we will look at the several shortcomings of Lorenz' psychohydraulic model, and look at several alternative models for animal behavior: homeostatic models, and optimization models. Lecture 4: In this lecture we introduce an influential approach to human social behavior that arose from animal behavior and ethology. Originally called sociobiology, today it is often referred to as evolutionary psychology. It argues that many aspects of human social behavior are affected by genetic predispositions shaped by evolution. In this lecture we consider how sociobiology might make sense out of a number of male-female differences in behavior.

40. Paul Ehrlich Challenges Evolutionary Psychology And The 'selfish Gene' In His Ne
    Ehrlich's book 'Human Natures' builds on evolutionary psychology and sociobiology.  
    http://www.stanford.edu/dept/news/pr/00/humans920.html
    
    Extractions: e-mail: mshwartz@stanford.edu Do "selfish genes" program men to be more promiscuous than women? Beneath the veneer of civility, are people innately aggressive? Some researchers and a growing segment of the general population - would answer "yes" to those and a host of other questions, suggesting that we are tightly programmed by our genes. But according to Stanford evolutionist Paul R. Ehrlich, there is little scientific basis for such widely accepted notions. Ehrlich challenges the so-called "selfish gene" and other tenets of evolutionary psychology in his wide-ranging new book , Human Natures: Genes, Cultures and the Human Prospect (Shearwater Books/Island Press, Washington, D.C.).
