lWhat does it mean to be a member of the species Homo sapiens sapiens?
Homo sapiens sapiens are distinct from other hominin species in that they are biologically adapted for learning the skills that are necessary for survival.  We refer to the shared and socially generated traditions of behaviors and thought patterns as culture.  Discuss the importance of human cognition (complex symbolic capacity and language) in the emergence of culture as humankind’s chief adaptive mechanism.

You may use a combination of primary research papers, reviews, and other sources.
Remember, you are expected to analyze and synthesize course materials in your exam, so you need to do more than describe or summarize content.
Explain concepts.
Show connections between ideas.
Illustrate with examples.
Present your thesis in an introductory paragraph and develop your argument or present your case in paragraphs with evidence from the course before you summarize your message and explain its relevance or significance within the course context in a concluding paragraph.
Revise your Work: Don’t submit the first draft
You will be graded on accuracy, style, and creativity. Although your writing ability is not the primary focus of this course, your ability to communicate is essential to your success in science. Pay close attention to what you’re writing. Spelling should not be a problem since everyone can use a dictionary. You may want to have a friend read your paper before you turn it in.
Overall, your task is to write full and complete responses that demonstrate your understanding and engagement with course materials. Therefore, it is important to take time to revise for your argument and content before you proofread your exam; this will help ensure that you submit work that reflects all of your hard work.
Revise for higher order concerns: Do you state a clear thesis or point that is supported by specific evidence from the course? Do you demonstrate analysis and  critical thinking about course themes?
Revise for lower order concerns: Is your writing clear and grammatically correct? Have you included citations for all ideas that are not your own?
