Abstract
Sexual preference has long been a topic of debate among contemporaries. For many years, the homosexual lifestyle has been shunned and a source of shame for many lesbian and gay individuals. This paper explains how, in recent years, however, there has been an increase in the acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle and the culture that surrounds this lifestyle. Many argue that this acceptance has begun to conflict with heterosexuality. This paper determines to what extent lesbian and gay culture presents an opposition to heterosexuality.
From the Paper
"The role of lesbians in gays in our society has a profound impact on the conflict between homosexuals and heterosexuals. The truth of the matter is that many lesbians and gays enjoy many of the same things that heterosexual people enjoy. In recent years the presence of homosexuals on television and in the workforce has become more pronounced. The military still promotes a policy of ?don?t ask, don?t tell? but there are many homosexuals that serve in the various branches of the armed services. Indeed the role of lesbians and gays in our society is well established and it seems that these roles are destined to expand with time."

Abstract
This paper states that the first Javanese Homo erectus fossils were found in Trinil nearly 100 years ago. The paper explains the long-held theory that Homo erectus migrated out of Africa and dispersed throughout the Old World. The author highlights a more recent view that the Homo erectus and Homo Sapiens existed together on the earth, thus disputing other theories that Homo erectus either evolved into or was wiped out by Homo Sapiens.
From the Paper
"Critics were quick to discount the relationship between the skull and the femur found in Java. This was due to the fact that the femur was found the next year after the skullcap was discovered in the same stratigraphic level but approximately 10 to 15 meters away. Many felt that the skull belonged to an ape or possibly a low order human but believed that the femur was completely modern. In the end, it was the disputed connected between the skull and the femur that undermined Dubois? explanation. Dubois eventually withdrew himself and his fossils from the scientific spotlight."

Homo Sapien Subspecies, 1985.
This research examines differences among subspecies of Homo sapiens: Definitions, racial types and differences between Homo Sapien subspecies.

From the Paper
" This research examines differences among subspecies of Homo sapiens. The main variances examined are easily observable characteristics such as teeth, skeleton, hair and skin. The main conclusion of the research is that differences can be classified into terms of subspecies variation in the biological and genetic sense of these terms, and these differences can thus be described using the tools of these disciplines. Subspecies can not be defined in terms of race or cultural groups nor can biological classification be devised to define such categories.
Prior to exploring differences among the subspecies Homo sapiens, it is useful to define some terms, and especially useful to gain an understanding of the term subspecies as this is the category of classification this paper addresses. To do this we will need to gain an understanding of the biological and genetic ... "

"Cur Deus Homo", 2005.
An analysis of Anselm of Canterbury's "Cur Deus Homo".
2,073 words (approx. 8.3 pages), 5 sources, APA, £ 46.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how Anselm proposed a series of Christological doctrines in his most famous work, "Cur Deus Homo" or, "Why The God-Man." The principle theory is known as the Satisfaction Theory and it was the predominant contention of the Church for almost a millennium. This paper explores the theory, as well as the history and circumstances that led to Anselm's development of what later became Church doctrine.
From the Paper
"Before Anselm's Satisfaction Theory, the commonly accepted theory of many Church Fathers was the Ransom Theory. This was a presumption that held the contention of God's conquest over enslavement, and it was the predominant church belief for a millennium.2 This theory was adapted from the passage in Mark 10:45, in which Christ is said to have, "Give[n] his life as a ransom for many." The theory contended that Christ's humanity was taken by Satan, but so too was his veiled divinity, and it was Christ's divinity that Satan allegedly took without having the appropriate authority. In taking what he was not allowed to take, Satan forfeited all of his rights over humanity, and humanity was thus saved from the power of evil."

From the Paper
Max Frisch's novel Homo Faber explores a number of contemporary themes, and one of the central issues can be described as probability versus destiny in human life. This is an ancient theme as human beings have long sought to discover whether their actions are ruled by accident or design, and at different times people have believed that one or the other was more important in human affairs. In periods of strong faith, destiny is considered to be the power that guides human life, but in a more secular age such as our own, the idea of any external entity or force being responsible for the course of individual human life is given less credence. The analysis of this issue in Frisch is related to the need his characters experience to examine the self and to understand themselves and their relationship to the rest of the world."

Abstract
This paper explains that, as human evolution progressed from the australopithecines to Homo sapiens, early man began to walk upright, use fire, tools and language and create culture. The author describes the main species known in the evolutionary tract but omits other intermediates for which very few fossils have been found. Of these know species, the paper discusses distinguishing characteristics, what type of tool culture they had, and if they had any type of socialization. The author presents briefly famous archaeological finds. Includes many figures.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The most famous Australopithecine fossil is Lucy. The A. afarensis fossils were found in Hader, Ethiopia and were about 40% complete, including bipedal kneecaps and molars and front teeth similar to humans rather than great apes. Another famous fossil find was the Taung infant, found by Raymond Dart in Taung, South Africa. The A. africanus fossil consisted of the face, mandible, and a natural endocast of the brain case. Another famous find was the set of three footprints in Laetoli, Tanzania, by Mary Leakey."

"FROM HOMO ERECTUS TO HOMO SAPIENS
"The problem of defining Homo erectus is that it is viewed at present as a grade of human evolution intermediate between the small-brained early Pleistocene hominids and the large-brained Homo sapiens" (3:102). This theory of human evolution from the Natural History British Museum in London defines the controversy in the anthropological world. The evolution of man does not follow an easily marked road map. Exactly when Homo first emerged is not definitively clear. With the discovery of Homo erectus remains in 1891 in Central Java, fossils have since been found in Africa, China and Europe. It is generally accepted that the species evolved in Africa about 1.6 million years ago (3). However, some anthropologists argue that the emergence of the species is at least 2.5 million years old. (2) They base their ..."

The Neanderthal Problem, 2008.
A analysis of the relationship between early homo sapiens and the Neanderthals.

Abstract
This paper examines a number of the dominant theories concerning the nature of the relationship between the ancestors of modern humans - early homo sapiens or "anatomically modern" (AM) populations - and the distinct species of the "homo" genus known as the Neanderthals. The paper then examines the fate of the Neanderthals. The paper focuses on the two main groups of theories: replacement theory and the interbreeding theory.
From the Paper
"It should be noted, however, that there is as yet no definitive conclusion to the "Neanderthal problem" as scholars and researchers in a range of disciplines from archaeology to bio-genetics argue about the complex issues in this debate. It is clear that AM populations who comprise the ancestors of modern day humanity likely played some role in the extinction of the Neanderthals, given the coincidence of their settlements in the archaeological record, as well as similarities in their cultural technologies. This being said, however, the question of whether early humans replaced Neanderthals - who became extinct through natural processes or violence - or absorbed them through interbreeding, remains an open subject of debate to this day."

Cultural Constructions, 2008.
This paper discusses the challenge of the sitcom "Will and Grace" towards hetero-normativity.

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at how the prosperous sitcom, 'Will & Grace' challenges traditional notions of hetero-normativity in that it seeks to "normalize" a gay character by placing that character within a situation comedy also featuring an attractive heterosexual woman he just so happens to be living with. The writer points out that the show emphasizes Will's professional success and is unafraid to make explicit "gay" references to human sexuality - scenes that, whatever their dramatic and aesthetic merits, certainly humanize Will and force the audience to view homosexual men and women as having the same human and instinctual impulses as heterosexual men and women. The writer maintains that at the same time, though, even as the series casts a bit of mockery on some old stereotypes about gays, it also perpetuates the notion that gay men are weaker than other men - less virile, in short. The writer concludes that the series is a commendable one, but hardly an infallible one.
From the Paper
"The series has done other rather remarkable things that have challenged the bigotry gay men and women habitually face in modern-day American society. Most notably, the show has not been averse to making explicit "gay" references on-air, an apparent first in US prime-time television. Suffice it to say, this strategy has forced gay themes about sexuality and about human relationships into the mainstream - a process that, over a period of time, might diminish the reflexive distaste some audience members have for such topics. At the very least, the show's willingness to discuss explicit "gay" themes has allowed for a presentation of Will as a genuinely three-dimensional human being; in a day and age when "gay-bashing" is still a fact of life in many parts of America, anything that serves to humanize a gay character on prime-time television is something that deserves to be applauded."

From the Paper
"Like all other creatures on earth hominids adapted to their environment through physiological change. But, at a certain point, they began to adapt by means of culture. They were, therefore, an entirely new type of creature--possessing capabilities that had not existed before. Rather than undergoing a few small adaptations that took place over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, these new creatures engaged in continuous adaptation via culture. Their cultures were not static over very long periods. To the extent that new circumstances required additional adaptations they were capable of making them and, to the extent that new adaptations proved superior to previous versions, they were capable of replacing the old with the new. The archaeological study of the prehistoric emergence of the cultural animal has led to the classification of.."

"The Emergence of Modern Humans (Homo sapiens sapiens)
The genus, Homo, originated in Africa. The species, Homo habilis and Homo erectus were characterized by a bipedal gait and an increased brain size. Eventually, members of the genus left Africa to colonize a widespread territory. During the Middle Pleistocene, a more advanced Homo species emerged to succeed H. erectus. Homo sapiens had an even larger brain. This enabled it to further expand the territories originally colonized by H. erectus. Over many thousands of years, different varieties of Homo sapiens evolved. One of the first was the Neanderthal. In addition, a form similar to modern humans, Homo sapiens sapiens also appeared. Approximately, 30,000 years ago, the Neanderthal disappeared. Furthermore, this period marked numerous H. sapiens ..."

From the Paper
" Four hundred thousand to two hundred thousand years ago, Homo erectus disappeared from the face of the earth and in his place was left archaic Homo sapiens, also known as Homo sapien neandertalensis or Neandertal man. Neandertal man had spread throughout Europe, the Near East, and Asia before one hundred thousand years ago. Then, quite suddenly, anatomically modern humans appeared throughout the Old World, replacing Neandertal man completely by about thirty-five thousand years ago (Fagan, 1989).
The question that arises is whether Neandertal man evolved to become modern man, or if modern humans migrated into the areas that were inhabited by the Neandertals and eventually replaced (...)"
