Hello, I attatched all the instructions to the assignment as well as an example. The attatchment that says “forensic anthropology lab report REAL” are the results of my lab, please use this infromation/data to do the lab report based on them

Quammen, David 2015. The Chimp and the River: How AIDS Emerged from an African Forest. W.W. Norton & Company, Inc.: New York.
Each student will select one of the books that islisted above and write a 4-6 page (double-spaced) paper critically evaluating the arguments presented by the author. This paper will serve as the “final” and so requires application and synthesis of class cooncepts, including incorporation of additional high-quality sources.
-Incorporate anthropological sources and cite them.

– The topic I have chosen for my paper is signaling theory. 
– I chose this topic because as animals begin to cheat the theory begins to change.
– You will find 3 research papers on that topic, and write a 1000 – 1250 double spaced word research paper explaining the topic you chose and using the peer reviewed research 
papers as evidence to support the topic and your thesis. You will be required to cite 
articles from peer-reviewed scholarly journals in your papers and use APA format. 
– Paper must include a bibliography.
-Make sure this paper has a framework of human behavioral ecology. For instance if you want to look at a behavior, you must explain why/how it makes sense for this behavior to 
have evolved in the ecological context you see the behavior in.
I have no preference of how you choose to approach this paper, just nothing controversial and make it acceptable for the class. Feel free to do as you please, I attached all of the guidelines and a sample paper. 

Subfield “Cultural Anthropology” with the topic “Cultural Adaptations to Climate Change”

2. Be 3000-4000 words for each paper;
3. Use at least 5-10 sources with in text sourcing for each paper;
4. Be visual and include figures, maps, diagrams and/or drawings for each paper; and

So you know, I use turnitin.com and ChatGPT detector to help detect academic dishonesty. If plagiarism is detected, it will be reported as required. If you have questions about paper writing and plagiarism, check the resources below and/or email me with questions. COD provides many clinics and seminars that address research and writing. 

Make sure to answer the questions correctly. Do not plagiarize, or copy and paste from other sources please. And do not AI generate the assignment either.

“Each deals with a different Region discussed in this course. You are expected to write a MINIMUM of 4 full pages, single-line spaced, broken into an Introduction, Body, and Conclusion to
your response. It is crucial that you support your answers with proof’ from Handouts, lecture notes, your digital documents, documentaries, personal assignment research, and the debates we’ve had in class. Of particular importance is
your ability to DIRECTLY link the readings to your answers and opinions. Your Conclusion is amongst the most relevant parts of your essay.”
Question:
Kwame Nkrumah “Capitalism is a development by refinement from Feudalism, just as Feudalism is a development by refinement from Slavery. Capitalism is but the gentlemen’s method of Slavery: ” Set the location for this quote, discuss its relevance in both the Pre- and Post-Colonial context as applied to its geography, geopolitics, and events since 1957 for most countries in the region, and add how YOU interpret current world market forces driving the area backward instead of forward.
This assignment is about Kwame Nkrumah the pan Africanist and the question surrounding him above. Please focus on him and address the question about him above. Try not to go down rabbit holes that lead to more information then needed for this assignment. I want you to really link Kwame’s efforts to reshape Africa to the past, present, and future, these are called linkage, and it’s really fundamental to this essay. Please use the provided slide below for more information but also seek for more information from books or the internet BUT NOT CHATGPT! Directly link what is provided in the slides to Kwame and the essay as a whole. focus on his politics and how he shaped Africa and don’t dive to deep or really at all in his personal life since that is not the topic of this essay. you do not need to use sources embedded into this essay but please do check your sources to see if they are credible.
“YOU interpret current world market forces driving the area backward instead of forward.” also please address this question from your point of view and not another point of view. Please be specific in answering this question and link it back to what makes sense and is appropriate to link to this whole essay and Kwame.

Your project: to develop a modern version of the epistolary concept
Tell part of the Dracula story through some form of modern communication/media/technology, or a combination of these. For example: 
letters
graphic novel concept
Tweets
Instagram pictures
snapchat
Facebook posts
Blog/vlog
Emails
work of art
film
Use what you’re good at. If you’re an artist, you might make it a graphic novel. If you like social media, use of those. If you’re traditional, keep it truly epistolary, and write letters. There are fake facebook/instagram generators out there you can use, so you don’t have to create actual accounts. 
Choose one scene from Dracula and present a modern version of that scene. NOTE: you may not choose Chs. 1-4!
Be sure to include the perspectives of various characters. Feel free to modernize the characters to suit the modern media, if you wish.
Be creative, have fun, push the lmits of the form you use. 
Your final presentation must be uploaded to the discussion board. Use PowerPoint.
I am attaching an example of what a good project might look like. There are lots of ways to approach the project so yours may be quite different. However, things I’ll point out that are working well here: 
1. use of both text and image
2. multiple perspectives (the comments by Dracula, for example)
3. an original, but rich, telling of the events
4. Full use of the chosen media (in this case, Instagram)

I have written a mock grant proposal for my class. The paper is complete and i believe well written but I did use alot of AI and would like someone to “un” AI it. 

Reminder: please make sure the discussions in the paper is based on the points by the sources provided. IT’S FOCUSED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF EDEN, DETAILS ARE PROVIDED BELOW.
Instructions: This paper will focus primarily on Other Side of Eden, Chapters 4 thru 6. You should incorporate examples in your discussion from the articles and films assigned in Module 3. Be sure to include anthropological terms and concepts covered in class.
The paper should be 5 pages in length, double spaced, in a 12pt font and in a Word document format. Please no Google docs or PDFs.
Choose at least two topics to discuss. For example you might focus on gender roles, socio- political leadership, oral traditions, language, economics or spirituality. I suggest you begin by reviewing the questions from Other Side of Eden – Chapters 4 thru 6, then review the Powerpoint Chapter headings/topics and articles/films that coincide with each Powerpoint chapter 10 thru 15. As with the previous paper assignments, do not choose too many topics for discussion.

The instructions are the following…
Assignment
Each student will write two short research papers (3-4 double space pages in length, or
750-1000 words apiece) during the term. These essays will bring in library research (at least
two external scholarly sources per paper) and also incorporate reference to class themes and
topics by referring to at least three class readings.
Each essay will require that students choose a domesticated plant or animal and do a
small amount of guided library research about that food. For either of these essays, students
might choose wheat, corn, barley, rice, soybeans, potatoes, taro, cows, pigs, sheep, goats,
chickens, mangoes, chilies, chocolate, melons, apples, grapes, or (with instructor approval)
another domesticated plant or animal.
In Week 4, students will be asked to choose a food to focus on for an essay due in Week 5
on the domestication of plants and animals. In Week 8, students will be asked to choose a food
(either the same food or a different one) to focus on for an essay due in Week 9 on the
Columbian exchange, industrial foods, GMOs, and/or food sovereignty.
