How have advancements in molecular biology in the last twenty years contributed to the understanding of human origins? How can ancestry be traced using mitochondrial DNA and the Y chromosome?

1. Bio-Cultural Anthropology: The environment’s effect on skin color and the cultural adaptations to offset it. Make sure you discuss environmental effects on light-skinned people in an equatorial environment and dark-skinned people in areas of low sunlight.

2. Bio-Cultural Anthropology: How have new reproductive technologies changed our definitions of family, kinship, and marriage? Make sure you discuss sperm banks, harvesting of ova, freezing of embryos, use of surrogates, and in-vitro fertilization along with the cultural changes that have accompanied these technologies.

3. Physical Anthropology: How have advancements in molecular biology in the last twenty years contributed to the understanding of human origins? How can ancestry be traced using mitochondrial DNA and the Y chromosome?

4. Linguistics: How have sociolinguists attempted to preserve moribund languages of dying cultures? What efforts are being made today to keep indigenous languages from dying out?

5. Linguistics: Find studies of apes (chimps, bonobos, and gorillas) who have been taught to communicate with humans. Who were the researchers, their subjects, and what was the outcome of their studies? Only use studies conducted in the last ten years.

6. Archeology: What are the environmental, technological, and social factors contributing to the domestication of plants and animals beginning around 10,000 years ago (the Neolithic)?

7. Archeology: Describe a recent cultural resource management project or one currently underway. What is the project? Why is it important to preserve this particular cultural resource? What are the challenges of the project?
