Evolution of Monogamy: Beneficial or Suppressing?

Next step is to review in detail the 5 peer-reviewed sources provided from step 1. If any of the sources that you provided in part 1 do not meet the necessary criteria for a being an acceptable peer-reviewed source, you will need to find replacement sources. The purpose of this assignment is for you to become acquainted with your topic and the sources you will be using. In addition, this assignment is meant to provide you with examples of published studies for you to model your own papers. Requirements: For each source you will Identify the thesis statement and purpose Summarize the main points Explain how the source will be used in your term paper Make sure that you are including in-text citations when needed These reviews should be clear and concise Provide a reference list in APA format Conducting a Critical Analysis As you read the literature, read it with a critical eye. This does not mean searching out the negatives, but to be aware and report the limitations if they exist. It is possible that, depending on your topic, that there is very little direct literature that exists in which the topic is examined from an evolutionary perspective. In this case, you should get creative and come up with your own hypotheses based on whatever literature does exist.
