Discuss and develop an essay similar to those that Gould wrote for his column in Natural History Magazine, called “This View of Life” – musings of an evolutionary biologist who found analogies between evolutionary processes and diverse aspects of human culture.

Discuss and develop an essay similar to those that Gould wrote for his column in Natural History Magazine, called “This View of Life” – musings of an evolutionary biologist who found analogies between evolutionary processes and diverse aspects of human culture.

Brainstorm some of your own commonalities between biology/evolution and other fields of study. (For example – if you are interested in music, you might develop an analogy about how music or musical instruments have evolved in complexity in a similar way to how organisms have evolved.).

– MAKE SURE that your essay makes comparisons between biology/evolution and the topic that you are investigating. For example – if you are discussing the development of tool-making and relating it to embryology – you might point out how increasing complexity is seen in both tool-making technique and in the development of an embryo.

– In your concluding paragraph – try to leave your reader with some idea(s) to think about after reading the essay. You might pose a question – or offer some unresolved thought.

– INCLUDE AT LEAST ONE VISUAL (figure or table) that is labeled. Figures are labeled underneath (Ex. Figure 1: ____________________). Tables are labeled above (Ex. Table 1: ____________________)

– References should be given at the end, in CBE, MLA or APA format.
