There's no comparison with the plastic masks used in the original "Planet of the Apes" (1968), or even in Tim Burton's 2001 remake.The film is set ten years after the end of "Rise", when a laboratory-generated "simian flu" made apes as intelligent as humans, while conveniently wiping out the majority of the earth's Homo sapiens population.
As an alternative you suggest that Homo economicus be compelled to stay at work for up to ten more years.
He concluded that death in warfare is so common in hunter-gatherer societies that it was an important evolutionary pressure on early Homo sapiens, and might easily account for the emergence of self-sacrificial altruism.Dr Bowles's analysis did not, however, separate the Tiwi from the rest, so was influenced by this outlier.
Economists have typically described the thought processes of homo sapiens as more like that of Star Trek's Mr Spock strictly logical, centred on a clearly defined goal and free from the unsteady influences of emotion or irrationality than the uncertain, error-prone groping with which most of us are familiar.
Annual losses on shares are much more frequent than annual losses on bonds, so investors demand a much higher premium for holding shares to compensate them for the greater risk of suffering a loss in any given year.A common response of believers in homo economicus is to claim that apparently irrational behaviour is in fact rational.
Those who believe in homo economicus no longer routinely ignore his emotional and spiritual dimensions.
But the Pentagon's plans make all this a bit more complicated: many of its robots will be, in essence, killing machines.A second question is how to manage the homo side of homo-robo relations.
Homo sapiens was thus unveiled as an African species.
Indeed, according to a school of thought led by Richard Wrangham of Harvard University, keeping the brain running is so demanding that only the invention of cooking, which makes more nutrients available from a given amount of food than can be extracted from it in its raw state, permitted the neurological expansion which created Homo sapiens.
Where it originally came from, though, has been a matter of scientific debate for half a century.In 1958 Frank Livingstone, a noted anthropologist, suggested that Plasmodium falciparum (which is by far the deadliest of the four or five parasites that cause human malaria) had jumped into Homo sapiens from chimpanzees.
"Behavioural" economists, for instance, see recent bubbles as evidence that markets are "irrational", reflecting psychological biases such as over-optimism among investors.Perhaps more interesting has been the reaction of those most loth to abandon rational Homo economicus.
