The goal of this activity is to reflect on human nature, what makes humans similar and/or different from other species, and the role of culture in evolution.
Step 1. Watch the video (16 min) “So Human, So Chimp” (click on the link). It is a segment of a three-part PBS series titled “What is the nature of human uniqueness?” In this segment, Alan Alda discusses this question with several scientists. You will also see examples or reenactments of experiments shedding light on this question.
Step 2. In the discussion board share your thoughts on what this kind of evidence suggests regarding human nature, what makes humans similar and/or different from other species, and the role of culture in evolution. As much as possible, try also to tie your comments to concepts and material covered in this module.
Your initial post to the discussion question must be a thoughtful response to this prompt provided. A 200-word minimum is required for the initial response [worth a maximum of 7 pts]. Professional language and writing are required. Connect your response back to the video, citing the evidence to support your position wherever possible.
Step 3. You are expected to read posts in the discussions and to actively participate in the conversations, posting a minimum of one thoughtful reply(more if you want to) back to other students [worth a maximum of 3 pts]. Your replies to other student’s posts are to be thoughtful responses that seek to further knowledge and understanding. Such replies as “nice post” or “ditto” are not thoughtful replies. Instead your replies should, for example, explain why you agree or disagree with a previous post, ask a probing question, clarify a statement, share your own experiences, support or refute a statement with evidence, and always be constructive and respectful.
