Research suggests that our ape-like ancestors boosted their brain size when they began to co-operate to hunt for food and shelter. Scientists said that the expanding intelligence of our ancestors in turn helped them better co-operate and take down larger prey, such as mammoths, that they could share with a bigger group.

Lee&Kwan_21 (TEIXEIRA).DOCX (Do Not Delete) 11/26/2014 2:20 PM The Trans Panic Defense: Masculinity, Heteronormativity, and the Murder of Transgender Women Cynthia Lee* and Peter Kwan** When a heterosexual man is charged with murdering a transgender woman with whom he has been sexually intimate, one defense strategy is to assert what has been called the trans panic defense. The defendant claiming this defense will say that the discovery that the victim was biologically male provoked him into a heat of passion causing him to lose self-control. If the jury finds that the defendant was actually and reasonably provoked, it can acquit him of murder and find him guilty of the lesser offense of voluntary manslaughter. The trans panic defense strategy is troubling because it appeals to stereotypes about transgender individuals as sexually deviant and abnormal. In this article, we examine the cultural structures of masculinity that may lead a man to kill a transgender woman with whom he has been sexually intimate.

  • Olivia Culpo Miss Universe 2012
    OLIVIA CULPO MISS UNIVERSE 2012 For a young woman who never participated in a pageant, one might say that the road to Olivia Culpo’s Miss Universe win was all a part of her destiny. Within 15 months, Olivia went from a Boston University student to winning the title of Miss Rhode Island USA, Miss USA and finally, the most coveted title of them all - Miss Universe 2012. The 21-year old Cranston, Rhode Island native became the 8th American to capture the Miss Universe crown on December 19, 2012 from the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. She brings the title back to the United States after 15 years. Leading up to Miss Universe, Olivia was dedicating her time to advocating for breast and ovarian cancer awareness and education. Most notably, she traveled to Washington DC to lobby for more ovarian cancer research on behalf of the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance. She’s appeared as a recurring guest host on EXTRA, was a presenter on NBC’s American Giving Awards and was featured on the December 2012 cover of “The Improper Bostonian” magazine. The middle child of five children, Olivia decided to compete for the title of Miss Rhode Island USA on a whim. With determination and a passion for performing on stage, Olivia captured her state title in a $25 “Rent The Runway” dress that was too short and had a tear in the back. Her road to the Miss USA crown continued in Las Vegas where she wowed the judges with a poised response to a question regarding transgender contestants.
