Answer:

What follows is a bill of indictment. Several of these items end up in the Bill of Rights. Others are addressed by the form of the government established—first by the Articles of Confederation, and ultimately by the Constitution.

The assumption of natural rights expressed in the Declaration of Independence can be summed up by the following proposition: “First comes rights, then comes government.” According to this view: (1) the rights of individuals do not originate with any government, but preexist its formation; (2) the protection of these rights is the first duty of government; and (3) even after government is formed, these rights provide a standard by which its performance is measured and, in extreme cases, its systemic failure to protect rights—or its systematic violation of rights—can justify its alteration or abolition; (4) at least some of these rights are so fundamental that they are “inalienable,” meaning they are so intimately connected to one’s nature as a human being that they cannot be transferred to another even if one consents to do so. This is powerful stuff.

At the Founding, these ideas were considered so true as to be self-evident. However, today the idea of natural rights is obscure and controversial. Oftentimes, when the idea comes up, it is deemed to be archaic. Moreover, the discussion by many of natural rights, as reflected in the Declaration’s claim that such rights “are endowed by their Creator,” leads many to characterize natural rights as religiously based rather than secular. As I explain in The Structure of Liberty: Justice and the Rule of Law, I believe his is a mistake.

<h3>What is biological preparedness?</h3>

This is the notion that people and animals are able to associate specific stimuli and the responses required of them in an inherent manner.

This is why the rats were able to develop the conditioned taste in such a little time. They were already biologically wired to.

What type of diet do the authors suggest that boisei possessed? what kind of analysis did they perform to arrive at that conclus

vampirchik [111]

Over a long period of time (> 0.5 Ma), boisei had a diet predominantly composed of C4 resources, most likely grasses or sedges (Turkana, Baringo, Natron, and Olduvai regions).

Massive and low-cusped postcanine teeth, thick and large mandibular corpora, and strong masticatory muscles are all characteristics of the East African hominid Paranthropus boisei that are usually thought to be adaptations for a diet of nuts, seeds, and hard fruit.

This hypothesis was based on analyses of the morphology of P. boisei, but it also received indirect support from dental microwear studies of P. robustus, a close relative. These studies found that the South African Paranthropus had molar wear consistent with it having ingested and chewed small, hard food items, if not as primary resources then at least as backup foods.
