17. Human Sexual Behavior III & Aggression I

Stanford University.

--started.

See some exam-related announcements.

First off, there are the statistics, mean and median,

which, in terms of numbers and what

they mean-- what they mean in my book

is that people are doing a good job in here.

So, good going.

Also having done an amazing job are the TAs, who, other

than coming to class here, have not

been allowed out of the conference room

since you left your exams with them.

They have screamed with the repetitiveness of grading

the same question 550 times.

And they worked really hard to get this back to you

guys in time for decisions about pass,

no credit-- that sort of thing.

So these guys did yet another amazing job.

[APPLAUSE AND CHEERS]

Yay, TAs.

Let's see.

The other thing is, the exams will be outside,

at the end of class.

A to M is upstairs, and the rest of those letters

are downstairs.

So start figuring out which you are.

The TAs will be flinging boxes of exams around out there, so

go get yours afterward.

Again, people did a good job.

OK, picking up on our by now sickeningly familiar time

core strategy thing, here, we left off on Friday,

way to the left, in our very last area of sexual behavior

and the logic there is-- ooh, somewhere along the way

we mentioned genes, or we mentioned

a hormone, or a receptor, or whatever, and thus

were immediately talking about the evolution thereof,

all the way back.

What does natural selection theory

tell us about the evolution of sexual behavior?
