QUESTION 2
Choose one of the questions above to which you wish to respond. All posts should be thoughtful and well researched. In other words, you will cite all sources to which you refer in your post according to APA guidelines (Links to an external site.)
1. Is “Wallace’s Problem” really a problem? If so, why? If not, then what do you think are the implications of this for psychology and other disciplines that attempt to grasp human behavior?
2. What do you make of De Waal’s call for a “moratorium on human uniqueness claims”? How might he be correct in calling for such a moratorium? How might he be incorrect?
3. In his discussion of social learning and imitation, De Waal refers to memes. This term was originally coined by Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene (Links to an external site.), and its original meaning as well as its meaning in De Waal’s book is significantly different from the meaning in current usage. Do you think animals are capable of meme transmission in very much the same way as are humans? (Refer to the link above, which goes to the text of Dawkins’ book; then CTRL+F and search for the term “meme” to locate the appropriate chapter in the text; in that chapter you will read the original and precise definition of the term “meme”.)
