More studies will be discussed in detail below

“Yes‚ we are all individuals!” Can evolutionary psychology explain individual differences in personality? It is now a “rule” that “all human behavioural traits are heritable” (Turkeimer‚ 2000. cited in Pinker 2002). Pinker says that when psychologist Eric Turkheimer made this bold claim in 2000‚ he was encapsulating over 40 years of studies that overwhelmingly and robustly support this view‚ and only slightly exaggerating (Pinker 2002). Estimates of the mean heritability for the fundamental

as victims born to die in the eyes of the invading European powers? Why were they not feared‚ despite the extensive technological capacities of their civilizations‚ and the detailed political and religious theology these civilizations created? Simply put‚ the invading Europeans came to regard them as sick and ailing bodies of a sick and ailing body politic‚ born to die because of their lack of immunity to European diseases‚ even more than European firearms. The book Born to Die thus presents the

Previously‚ I‚ along with many of my fellow collegues‚ attended the Carey Lecture‚ “Metaphors We Die By: How Patterns of Communication Can Become Deadly” presented by John Lyne. I found a few of the points to be very interesting but I also found myself at times confused or lost. I believe this to be‚ in part‚ from the way in which John Lyne spoke. It’s not that he did not express the ideas well but rather that his nervousness was extremely present. Despite having a manuscript during the speech
