Human babies born with tails? That may sound like a headline from the Weekly World News, but it was the respected New Scientist magazine that recently published a cover story about the phenomenon of evolution ‘           .’ The author of “The Ancestor Within,” Michael Le Page, cited the babies with tails as a likely example of atavism, a phenomenon in which ancestral traits suddenly reappear after thousands or even millions of years.

Just last week a new study showed that in science tests, teenage boys who scored in the top 5 % outnumbered girls 7 to 1, while girls outperformed boys in reading comprehension. In general, men as a group excel at tasks that involve orienting objects in space － like reading a map without having to turn it so it lines up with the road. Women, on the other hand, seem _____________ communication, both verbal and nonverbal.

The African slaves who provided most of the labor that built the White House never imagined that a black man would ever own embossed stationery that read “1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.” Even the dreamer himself, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., might not have imagined that 40 short years after his murder, we would be planning an inauguration of the first man of African descent to         to the presidency. No minority of any ethnicity had ever looked beyond the         representation of a few Senators and seen anything that suggested that the doorknob of the Oval Office could be opened by anything other than the hand of a middle-aged white male.

The definition of success for many people is one of acquiring wealth and a high material standard of living. It is not surprising, therefore, that people often value education for its monetary value. The belief is widespread that the more schooling people have, the more money they will earn when they leave school. This belief is strongest regarding the desirability of an undergraduate university degree, or a professional degree such as medicine or law. The money value of graduate degrees in ‘nonprofessional’ fields such as art, history, or philosophy is not as great.

Astronomers today are convinced that people living thousands of years ago were studying the movement of the sky. Astronomers in those ancient cultures had no telescopes or binoculars, but they had great power in that they could predict the changing seasons, track time, and predict events like eclipses and the risings of certain celestial objects. They knew about and were able to predict these and other cycles only by observing carefully over periods of days, and months, and years.

As soon as we are born, the world gets to work on us and transforms us from merely biological into social units. Every human being at every stage of history or pre-history is born into a society and from his earliest years is molded by that society. The language which he speaks is not an individual inheritance, but a social acquisition from the group in which he grows up. Both language and environment help to determine the character of his thought; his earliest ideas come to him from others. As has been well said, the individual apart from society would be both speechless and mindless. The lasting fascination of the Robinson Crusoe myth is due to its attempt to imagine an individual independent of society. The attempt fails. Robinson is not an abstract individual, but an Englishman from York.

In 1910 Branch Rickey was a coach for Ohio Wesleyan. The team went to South Bend, Indiana, for a game. The hotel management registered the coach and the team but refused to assign a room to a black player named Charley Thomas. In those days college ball had a few black players. Mr. Rickey took the manager aside and said he would move the entire team to another hotel unless the black athlete was accepted. The threat was a bluff because he knew the other hotels also would have refused accommodations to a black man. While the hotel manager was thinking about the threat, Mr. Rickey came up with a compromise. He suggested a cot be put in his own room, which he would share with the unwanted guest. The hotel manager wasn't happy about the idea, but he gave in.
