Abstract
The paper discusses how the process of copulation and reproduction has been studied and researched for centuries to determine the physiological and psychological motivations behind procreation and sexual attraction. The paper looks at how Darwin's theory of evolution and his ideas on survival of the fittest have been used to explain biological attraction and reproduction strategies. The paper then examines how Kuhn examined the Darwinian Paradigm and Pringle examined courtship and love using a Darwinian microscope. The paper shows how through such studies, more insight may be gained as to sexual attraction, mate choices, and social decisions regarding sex and relationship between men and women.

"The market has often been compared to a jungle, there is nothing original about that. It is clear that in the marketplace the strong eat the weak. It is also clear that at least in many cases, the young displace the old as pack leader. It is not difficult to think of General Motors as an aging lion displaced as a leader or an Alpha in the terms of an..."

Abstract
The writer explores the similarity between the two theories in that each acknowledges the evolutionary mechanisms for behavior that have been inherited. The rest of the paper highlights the ways in which the theories diverge: Darwinian Anthropology feels these are secondary to modern cultural influence while Evolutionary Psychology feels they are primary in explaining how and why we behave as we do.

From the Paper
"Many feel that a combination of the two theories is a viable solution to the differences and weaknesses we have found. While this is not a direct comparison of our two original theories, it is important to look at ways in which they could coexist. These coevolutionary theories combine the study of current adaptations in current culture to help understand the evolution of mechanisms which initially drive the culture. The inverse is also true; studying the mechanisms of evolution in the human mind helps to understand why we behave as we do in modern society."

Abstract
In this article the writer notes that according to Aristotle, one of the greatest influences on the development of Western civilization, the natural world is unchanging, eternal and purposeful. The writer points out that this epistemology dominated Western civilization for the two thousand years leading up to Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. The writer discusses that Darwin's contribution was to make the theory public, to promote it and to provide extensive empirical evidence to back it up. At the heart of the theory is the revelation that nature is not immutable, but subject to change. The writer concludes that continued resistance is to be expected, but not to be overly feared; it is the inevitable death throes of an ideology that is giving way to one that is simply a fitter adaptation to the natural world and its demands on the human species.

From the Paper
"With evidence mounting at every turn and only minor modifications being made to evolutionary theory (thanks to work mainly in molecular biology) many in the scientific community are astounded that a strong current of anti-Darwinism still persists anywhere, let alone in a modern nation such as the United States. Religious fundamentalism and intelligent design proponents have challenged the Darwinian world view since it upset the Aristotelian roughly one hundred fifty years ago. The scientific consensus is strongly in favor of evolution and the empirical evidence support the claims of evolutionary biology. Why does a current of opposition to the Darwinian world view still persist? It persists because two millennia is a long time for a cultural meme such as the Aristotelian world view to become entrenched and self-supporting. The Darwinians shouldn't be surprised that there is still resistance to their position after more than one hundred years--they should be amazed that after such a short historical period, the Darwinian world view is successfully subduing Aristotelian resistance wherever it is found."

Abstract
This paper discusses two major views of the cultural development of humans, which are Darwinian Anthropology and Evolutionary Psychology. This paper examines both theories and finds that they have similarities, the most obvious of which being the basis of said development on the evolutionary theory of Charles Darwin. Each has its own justifiable points on human development; likewise each has its fallacies. It is the intent of this paper to explore these similarities and differences as well as the ramifications thereof.

Abstract
Recent developments in science completely disprove the theory of evolution. The only reason Darwinism is still foisted on people by means of a worldwide propaganda campaign lies in the ideological aspects of the theory. This essay clarifies the scientific collapse of the theory of evolution for the layman. It reveals the frauds and distortions committed by evolutionists to "prove" evolution.

From the Paper
"The claim of the common ancestry of apes and men, put forward by Charles Darwin in his book "The Descent of Man" in 1871, has since paved the path to today's scientific world. When Darwin proposed his supposed scientific theory in 1859, England, nor any other parts of the world, boasted the discipline of biophysics, genetics or biochemistry to justify his claims. Yet, even today, with the advancement in the scientific fields of genetics, biophysics, and biochemistry, Darwin's unscientific, illogical, and baseless claims still endure to influence to day's science. The justification of the Evolution Theory has been falsely spread through the propaganda of the media, and can be justly compared with the absurdity of the evolution of the fairy-taled frog-prince! There is no scientific evidence that back up the origin of man from apes, and likewise, no scientific evidence that frogs turn to handsome princes! The absurdity of it all is obvious and clear, and yet, is followed by the staunchest followers in the world!"

Abstract
This paper examines the ideas presented by Spencer, Sumner, and Ward in terms of plugging Darwin's evolutionary concepts and theories into late 19th century American society. It offers the opinion that Spencer had the greater influence on the future of American thought and social values.

From the Paper
"William Graham Sumner - who was, according to the Journal of Libertarian Studies, a "pioneering sociologist" and "astute historian of the early American republic" - critiqued democracy in 20th Century as "plutocratic, paternalistic, and imperialist" (Trask, 2004). He saw the western nation-states as "too geographically extensive, populous, and diverse" to ever achieve democracy; he saw the "great mass" of Europeans and Americans as "incapable of self-government"; and further, he believed the "plutocrats in America" would become imperialistic and "warlike, and would gradually extend paternal protections to the masses."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the concept of naturalism in Chopin's "The Story of an Hour" is unavoidable and how it is consistent in a subtle and surprising way with Darwin's notion of the evolution of species and the survival of the fittest. In particular, the paper looks at how, in her own way, the protagonist of Chopin's "The Story of an Hour" is undoubtedly a survivor according to naturalistic Darwinian notions and how she is not a woman who lives a life of quiet desperation; rather, she is a vibrant soul whose instinct is not to suffer.

From the Paper
"The physical ailment is also an aspect of the means by which her body shuts down in an act of self preservation. Self preservation is the most fundamental of Darwin's notions, as it relates to humans. This is due to the fact that humans do not want or suffer, and avoid suffering at virtually all costs. Human beings also desire freedom, and thus the freedom that the protagonist achieves is a freedom that fulfills the greatest original ideals of survival for a human being. In the interests of naturalism, and the naturalistic interpretation thereof, we can say the protagonist is free to return to her natural state, as the environment has already indicated that she is not going to survive "well" physically, which has a psychological impact which is certainly relevant to the existence of all human beings.

Abstract
This paper explains why anthropological archeologists are interested in cultural evolution, discusses the Spencerian and Darwinian models of cultural evolution, identifies the key characteristics of tribes, chiefdoms, and archaic states, and analyzes what kinds of material remains might archaeologists find most useful in their search for a better understanding of how prehistoric cultural evolution worked.

Abstract
This paper explores and discusses the contemporary and controversial issue of Euthanasia, more commonly known as "mercy killing." In the discussion regarding the origins of the issue, the debate would perhaps be incomplete without considering the Darwinian and Marxist views about this issue.
