Sociobiology

View the interview with E.O. Wilson (http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/4989), a pioneer in the field of sociobiology.  In the video, Dr. Wilson makes some very strong statements regarding the biological nature of human behavior.  Many of these statements are in direct opposition to other models and theories that you have been exposed to throughout this course.  You will be divided by last names for this discussion.  Your initial post should formulate an argument either to support or refute E.O. Wilson’s claims from the interview.

Last names beginning with letters A-M:  Provide a reasoned argument that supports the statements that E.O. Wilson makes regarding the biological nature of human behavior in the interview video clip.  Your initial post should be a minimum of 250 words and utilize at least one peer-reviewed source that was published within the last five years, cited according to APA guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Last names beginning with letters N-Z: Provide a reasoned argument that refutes the statements that E.O. Wilson makes regarding the biological nature of human behavior in the interview video clip.  Your initial post should be a minimum of 250 words and utilize at least one peer-reviewed source that was published within the last five years, cited according to APA guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Guided Response:  Review several of your classmates’ posts from both sides of the argument.  Respond substantively to two peers who presented arguments opposing yours.  Describe their strongest argument and whether or not you agree with their position.  If you feel their arguments are weak, provide your peer with 2 suggestions for improvement.  Given their argument, have they successfully convinced you to side with their viewpoint?  Did any of their arguments seem more solid than yours?  What one thing would you change about your argument to make it stronger?  Include at least one peer-reviewed article that was published within the last five years and cited according to APA guidelines to support the critique of your classmates’ arguments.
