How about figuring out a game in which some item (a spoken sentence?) in privately "inherited" with "variation" (badly whispered?) from one generation (row of participants?) to another, and see what comes out the other side pf the process? Of course, you'll need some basis for "selection" as well from one generation to the next. Perhaps only allow the women (and then in a later version, only the men) to repeat the sentence they (thought they) heard to the next "generation." Will the variations produced by men differ notably from those produced by the women? Just an idea for you to play with. Regards, -- Christopher D.
