Mules are considered hybrids, not a separate species. Mules result from the joining of gametes from a female horse (n=32) and a male donkey (n=31).

Define hybrid. What would the diploid (2n) number be for the mule that would be produced in the mating of the female horse and male donkey described above?

Mules are sterile, meaning they cannot produce gametes of their own. In terms of chromosomes, explain why this could be.

For each concept, explain whether it would suggest that a mule is a separate species or not a separate species.

How do uniformitarianism and gradualism compare to earlier conceptions about how the world worked?

- What support exists for using these more modern ideas?

- How did ideas from geology help shape Darwin/Wallace’s theory?

The concept of "ultrasociality" is becoming increasing popular as a tool to understand the characteristics and the evolution of human society. It is a concept taken from evolutionary biology that describes how some species attain evolutionary success by means of collaboration among individuals. The extreme implementation of this idea is found with social insects, ants and bees, whose behavior is usually termed "eusociality" ("the good sociality"). Humans don’t arrive to the degree of hyperspecialization of some insect societies, but they are more socially specialized than most mammals, hence the term "ultrasociality".

1. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of "ultrasociality."
