This discussion is due May 10.
Chapter 14 of the textbook provides information about current global factors that have impacted widespread infectious disease.
Please choose ONE factor, and discuss the impact that factor likely had or is having on a specific contemporary pandemic. 
Make sure you make clear the pandemic you are discussing, e.g.: Coronavirus (SARS-CoV 2); Monkeypox (MPX); Ebola (EVD), etc.

I just need 1 section done, attached are directions and the lab sheet to fill out. Observing primate behavior – super easy!

Write essay responses to the questions listed
below making sure that you in-text cite course materials and include a “Works
Cited” page at the end. Each response should be approximately one page
double-spaced. 
Clarify the time period and
key historical markers that make up the history of hominid evolution from our
shared ancestor with chimpanzees up to current day Homo Sapiens Sapiens.
Describe at least five major physical, behavioral, and/or mental changes that
you see as the most crucial in explaining the transition from chimpanzees to
anatomically modern humans. Why do you view these as the most important?
. Explain the concept of
culture, its major components, and clarify at least four prominent examples
from our course that show how “cultural models” or “cultural norms” are a part
of this concept and how they can differ between groups.
Give and define at least two
examples of “human universals”; those items that exist across all human
societies past and present. Elaborate on multiple case studies, with each
example, of how these items can exist among all societies, yet be different
between cultural groups.
. Describe a practical human and/or societal problem.Show how the problem you
discuss relates to the concept of culture and cultural differences between
societies.
clarify the conditions of poverty and how this
impacts life conditions among peoples in lesser-developed countries

In an essay no longer than six pages, describe hominid evolution from the appearance of
Homo erectus (approximately 1.6 mbp) up to the end of the Upper Paleolithic (10,000
BP). Be sure to include major species, key anatomical changes, and changes in
technology and behavior. Supporting your views with examples and evidence, explain
when you think our ancestors become human. In separate paragraphs, address the
following:
a. Does this happen incrementally, or at a single point in time?
b. What to you are the most definitive aspects of humanness, and why?
Must use these readings. 

This assignment is an opportunity for you to learn more about nonhuman primates. Have you ever wondered why a macaque is staring at you and yawning at the same time? Or why does a gorilla beat its chest or kick the glass and run away? Or why do chimpanzees love to display their dominance? These are just a few of the behaviors that our primate cousins experience. Instead of observing them at a zoo, you will be writing a paper on any nonhuman primate that lives today.
Instructions
You will choose one primate species and explain the following information in the paper:
Scientific name
Distribution
Physical appearance
Diet
Behavior patterns
Social system
Locomotion
Conservation status and threats
The paper needs to in MLALinks to an external site. or APALinks to an external site.
Typed (11 or 12 point font)
Double-spaced. Default margin settings (approx. 1” top/bottom 1” left/right)
The paper needs to be at least three pages in length (this doesn’t include the references cited page).
You must use two or more references in the paper. References Cited must be on a separate page.

The purpose of this project is to provide you with an opportunity to grapple in creative ways with concepts and provocations about anthropological approaches to studying everyday life.
Your task is to take an anthropological concept, question, or provocation from the course and explore/explain it through a piece of art (broadly defined): poem, illustration, painting, photography, sculpture, collage, dance, song, video, etc. You can choose whichever format most appeals to you. You don’t need to be an expert at the form, but you do need to show good faith effort at playing with form to express your engagement with the concept/question/provocation.
Your art must be accompanied by an artist statement (500-750 words). Your artist statement should explain and analyze the concept, explain the materials or medium used and why, and ground the explanation in at least two different readings/films that we have read/watched from the course so far. (For instance, “I was influenced in the creation of this piece by A and B” and then explain how they influenced your analysis.) Here’s some helpful information about artist statements at https://thecreativeindependent.com/guides/how-to-write-an-artist-statement/, but you are welcome to use other sources of guidance if you wish.
Please be sure to include citations at the end of your artist statement.
Tips for Submission
Visual art should be scanned, photographed, or filmed; converted into a PDF or jpg/png; and uploaded to Canvas. If you make a film, video, or audio performance,  please put the link to this into a document that you upload to Canvas. You might share a link to your Google drive, or to your Youtube video. 
All artistic creations must be original.
