| Sexnet. This
list is intended as a forum to discuss sex research generally. The most common discipline
represented is psychology, though there are also geneticists, historians,
endocrinologists, anthropologists, evolutionary biologists, and sociologists. This is a
membership restricted list. In order to get on this list, you must contact Dr. Bailey,
owner of the list, via email. His address is:
jm-bailey@northwestern.edu
Many lists allow a "subscribe" command to join. This one does not. People
interested in joining the list should give Dr. Bailey some information about their
academic backgrounds. |

Goal is to
"both to act as host to original work and to seek to create an enabling space, a
forum for constructive (including constructively critical) discussion and critiques of the
terms of reference and assumptions of various approaches to the understanding of people as
individuals, in groups, in institutions, in societies and as political and ideological
beings." |

The Evolution Game is
a board game for two, three or four players |
|
Tribes, a board game (formerly
called Darwinopoly). In Tribes, the players are cave men and women. They hunt
and gather food, make their tribal laws, and deal with natural disasters. But the object
of the game is simple: Look after the children! In this game, the way to win is to have
the most kids, and do whatever you have to do to make sure they survive. The players must
know when to cooperate, and when to cut their losses and protect their own families. |
