True of False?

Question

1) As we discover the remarkable intelligence and behavioral sophistication of our primate cousins, caging them and using them for medical experimentation becomes untenable

2) To say differing sex roles among food foragers are compatible with the biological differences between men and women, supports the assertion that they are biologically determined.

Answer 1

1) Maybe.

2) False. That's cultural.

Answer 2

1) Maybe, but people are still going to do it anyway. People would still be testing pharmaceuticals on monkeys if they started speaking fluent Spanish.

2) False. It is possible to be biologially suited or adapted without being biologically determined, especially for intelligent creatures who have culture, like us. This isn't to say that different sex roles among food foragers actually do match up to biological characteristics, just that the conclusion there isn't strictly valid.

Answer 3

1) I agree with statement 1 - not just for primates but for all species of animals.

2) If we are talking about food foraging then that is based on motivation and opportunity than biological determined characteristics.

Answer 4

1)true
2)not even close -- because the sexes perform similar tasks in separate groups does not mean that they are biologically determined. it means that it makes sense. women need to stay near the home to care for their young which has them doing the gathering. men can wander farther from home and are typically stronger which has them hunting. the biological determination is that women have the babies. to call sex roles 'biologically determined' is to liken it to animal instinct. i don't think picking berries is instinctive behavior.

Answer 5

It is already illegal for over a decade to do medical experiments on the great apes such as chimps, gorillas, and orangutangs.

Only baboons and below are used for medical experimentation.

Answer 6

1 false 2 false ~~

Answer 7

True. But NOT sure for the second one.

Answer 8

Quite true!
