Evolution and explanation
Human Taxonomy Project:A call to reclassify modern humans as a new subspecies: Homo sapiens pandoraArgument: Present day humans are quantifiably different than those in the past. Modern humans, through technological advancements are physically and behaviorally different than our recent ancestors. Our effect on the geologic record has changed. Our effects on nature have changed. The “Anthropocene” is a proposed geologic epoch that indicates the time in which modern humans began seriously affecting the geologic record. I propose that the differences listed above and elaborated upon below warrant a reclassification of modern humans to a new subspecies: Homo sapiens pandora.The choice of the name Pandora takes into account three mythological figures related to the creation of human civilization. Prometheus (whose name means foreward thinking) was the creator of mankind. Epimetheus (his brother, whose names means hindsight or afterthought) was tasked with apportioning positive attributes among animals, but lacking the foresight of his brother, neglected to save any for humanity. Thus, Prometheus stole fire from the Gods and gifted it to mankind. As punishment for the theft of fire, Pandora was created by the gods as wife to Epimetheus. She was given gifts by each god including a box (or jar) filled with the evils of the world, which were released upon her opening it. “Pandora” evokes the myth of Prometheus, which helped humanity develop civilization through the gift of fire (representing the promise of modern technology). “Pandora” also calls to mind Epimetheus, who recklessly accepts and uses such gifts, despite warnings about the potential consequence (representing our use of technology like fossil fuels, weapons, pesticides, etc.). Finally, “Pandora” represents our numerous gifts, but at the same time our release of countless evils into the world. Renaming our current subspecies Homo sapiens pandora serves as a reminder of the fact that we are “thinking humans” but we have the capacity to do serious harm to the world and must slam down the lid of Pandora’s Box before hope is lost. I see this as both a semi-serious proposal with scientific merit and as an intentionally provocative call for self-awareness by humanity. Our project will be broken into several parts, aimed at putting together a convincing proposal to reclassify the present, extant population of modern humans as Homo sapiens pandora. Each student will choose a category within a broader topic (listed below). That student will do research in the scientific literature to help build an argument for reclassification. The student will prepare a bibliography and a written summary of how their work can support reclassification. Then, students within the same topic will meet and create a cohesive presentation based on their information.

The Book of Joy by Dalai Lama Demond Tutu and Douglas Abrams
The book is about a friendship between two religious leaders whose influence has extended far beyond the adherents of their respective religions, to include many people who are not necessarily religious at all. The book operates largely in the realms of personal development, mental health, and philosophy.But the two men at the center of this book have been deeply shaped by the places from which they have come, and they have in turn influenced those places profoundly. Each of them, in fact, has a complicated relationship with his homeland. You can find many different kinds of geography-related lessons in this book. In fact, I am counting on it. I expect to read something different from each student, and this makes my life more interesting. Since this class is a geography introduction, though, I am going to suggest some of the directions those lessons might take you in your writing. This is not a list of things to address, but rather some possible ways you might approach this eassy.In no particular order:Does the Nijman text help you to understand some aspects of the book that you might not have understood previously?Are there some parts of the Nijman text that you understand more fully because of the book? If you could meet the Dalai Lama, what would you ask him about Tibet?If you could meet Desmond Tutu, what would you ask him about South Africa?What influence has each man had on the problems confronted in his home country?Feel free to respond in a way that includes some or none of these.This essay needs to be plagiarism free.[supanova_question]
