Mini assignment #2: Paper review (50 pts.)

One page single spaced, include xerox copy of first page of article

1) Find an article about primates and/or hominid evolution. I strongly recommend using an electronic database search, such as Psychinfo, Bio Abstracts or CurrentContents. Use the library's Ovid. Search keywords like "chimpanzee culture" or whatever topic you are interested in. You may also wish to look through journals like Folia Primatologica, Current Anthropology, Evolutionary Anthropology, Discover, etc.

2) Review the article, summarizing the main points, including your own thoughts about the theory and evidence. What hypotheses are tested?
