Cosmides and Tooby present the example that dung flies liking the smell of dung while humans hate the smell. Behind this example is an insight into the processes of evolution, both in terms of its time course and in terms of what adaptations do for us. Using the dung example or another one, explain, in a 2 page paper, why the time course and function of evolutionary adaptations are relevant for understanding why some of our thought processes are adapted to a hunter-gatherer society instead of to the industrial, technological age that we live in. Please use 12 pt. font, double spaced and follow APA style (including a reference page) outlined in the links above.Good example Comment function of adaptations Explanation of why we are adapted to hunter-gatherer society Overall

In chapter one, Dolgin, (2018), our textbook’s author, outlines many changes that have occurred to bring about the evolution of our society. Discuss this evolution in your post this week. What do you think about how this evolution has brought about change to adolescents in our society, and/or maybe in your own life? Dolgin, K. (2018). The adolescent: Development, relationships, and culture. (14th ed). Boston, MA: Allyn & Bacon.Here is an interesting article that also discusses our topic this week:

Children’s literature encompasses a variety of genres, from picture books to poetry to fantasy to non-fiction. Analyzing and selecting the appropriate genre and literature can be challenging. Appropriate genres should be selected based on the grade level, as well as the students’ academic readiness. At each grade level, the teacher determines appropriate literature that addresses young children’s characteristics including strengths, interests, and needs to develop literacy skills. For this assignment, create a literature-based lesson that focuses on one genre of children’s literature. Refer to the information you gathered in Topic 1 for the “Using the Reciprocal Process” assignment. Select one genre and a work of literature in that genre on which to focus in a lesson to meet the standards for reading, writing, listening and speaking you selected. Using the “COE Lesson Plan Template,” develop a lesson plan that addresses the standards. Do not complete the Multiple Means of Expression (assessment) portion of the lesson plan template. You will complete this in Topic 3. In addition, include developmentally appropriate technology that would enhance your lesson plan.Under the "COE Lesson Plan Template," write a 100-250 word rationale addressing your reasons for selecting both the genre and the particular literature used as part of the lesson. How does this particular literature and genre selection encourage enjoyment and foster a positive attitude toward literacy?How does the genre and literature appeal to students’ strengths, interests, and needs?Support your writing with 2-3 resources.
