The Acute To Do List
Prisoner's dilemma 1) DEDemeza's sugested fixes probably need doing, first read his suggested readings 2) revert some/all of this (where did original text come from, etc).

The festering Chronic To Do List
These things are lingering here in the hope that someone else will do them before I get around to it myself. More thoughts on what needs fixing are on the related Discussion pages.


 * adaptationism, Darwinian Fundamentalism, Gene-centered view of evolution - *grumble* the better of these just need knowledgeable editing, some need of a stiff broom...
 * aggression - a very poor article that keeps getting worse, contains group selectionist arguments, v. poor coverage of current biology & psychology.
 * Congenital adrenal hyperplasia should discuss effects on personality and cognitive abilities, e.g.
 * Berenbaum & Reinisch (1997) Early androgen effects on aggression in children and adults with congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Psychoneuroendocrinology 22:505-515.
 * Hines et al. (2003) Spatial abilities following prenatal androgen abnormality: targeting and mental rotations performance in individuals with congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Psychoneuroendocrinology 28:1010-1026.
 * and has no mention of sex role and sexual orientation effects of CAH in girls, it should (but words must be chosen cautiously, given the heavy pathology emphasis of the current CAH article). Research on the topic:
 * Dittmann et al. (1990) Psychoneuroendocrinology 15:401-420.
 * Dittmann et al. (1990) Psychoneuroendocrinology 15:421-434.
 * Zucker et al. (1996) Hormones and Behavior 30:300-318.
 * Iijima et al (2001) Sex differences in children's free drawings: A study on girls with congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Horm. Behav. 40:99-104.
 * Hines et al. (2004). Journal of Sex Research 41:75-81.


 * Evolutionarily stable strategy - could do with a new example, demonstrating the difference between a Nash equil. and and ESS (see WikiProject Game theory).
 * Geschwind-Galaburda Hypothesis - really just a stub now...
 * Human height contains embedded vandalism, sources need to be chased down, and desperately needs explanation of heritability of height.
 * Parental investment - clarify distinction between Bateman's principle and Trivers's parental investment theory, First paragraph is badly written.
 * Resource holding potential - it's drafty


 * Sexual differentiation - clearer comparison and contrast of masculinization and defeminization.
 * Sex ratio could do with more explanation of - like what was in ESS, but coherent, fixed, and shiny.
 * Sexual selection - needs discussion of mechanisms (see Talk:Sexual selection).
 * Unbeatable strategy add Bill Hamilton's exact definition from 'Science' paper.
 * Judith Rich Harris needs more bio in this bio
