7 THE FIGHT FOR KENNEWICK MAN January 3, 1997 TRANSCRIPT A 9,000 year old skull, called Kennewick Man, that was found in a Washington state river has created a stir between the local Indian tribe and archaeologists. Both groups claim the rights to the bones and aren't about to back down. Rod Minott reports.

Behavioral Evolution Simulations and Tutorials Author: Michael Mills mmills@lmumail.lmu.edu This software is a collection of simulations that demonstrate concepts of the evolution of behavior. Shareware, runs under DOS. Cumulative Selection as a Trans-Discipline Meta-Theory: A Computer Simulation and Tutorial This tutorial and simulation vividly demonstrates the power of cumulative selection, and its operation in biology, psychology, and culture. The comparative ineffectiveness of single-step selection, with which cumulative selection is often confused, is demonstrated. It illustrates several of the concepts presented in Richard Dawkins' 1986 book "The Blind Watchmaker." Fast vs. Coy Females and Faithful vs. Philandering Males A Computer Simulation of Evolutionary Stable Strategies This tutorial and simulation graphically simulates the development of evolutionary stable strategies for various mating options. It illustrates several of the concepts presented by Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book "The Selfish Gene." The Evolution of the 50/50 Sex Ratio This tutorial and simulation graphically simulates the development of the 50/50 sex ratio. It debunks the "good of the species" group selection theories. Actually, since no genetic mutations occur (only population fluctuations), this is a population dynamics analogy to the true genetic evolution of the 50/50 sex ratio. Future versions will include true genetic mutations. This simulation also illustrates several concepts presented by Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book "The Selfish Gene." The Behavioral Evolution Simulation Construction Kit This is a simulation construction kit that allows students, teachers and researchers to develop their own graphical simulations of behavioral evolutionary stable strategies (ESSs) within a genetically unchanging population. Since no genetic mutations occur in "evolkit", it simulates population dynamics, extinction, and ESSs rather than genetic changes. Future versions of this program will include the ability to set various genetic mutation paramaters. Links readme.1st evol.zip: the distribution package. (338k).
