Ancient Science Essay Topics

So I got my choice of topics for my Ancient Science essay. I need help deciding. These are my top seven choices. Which one do I do?

1. “Early versions of an Evolutionary Theory” Discuss the various theories of the beginnings of human kind, and how humans developed over time. How do they differ from modern Darwinian evolution?

2. “Ancient Contraception” What options were available, or were recommended, for contraception in antiquity? Do any of these agents work? What is the popular opinion of contraception?

3. “The Hippocratic Aphorisms and Good Health” Offer an analysis of the content of the Hippocratic work entitled Aphorisms. Attempt to provide a heading for each of its seven sections, and to summarize the contents of each. Are there recurring themes in more than one of the sections? What are the most important things a doctor must know in order to treat patients? Can we find in it a guide for general wellness?

4. “The Library at Alexandria and its Scientists” Describe the foundation and organization of the Library at Alexandria. What influence did it have in the history of ancient science? What important individual scientists are associated with it, and what contributions did they make? [Please try to focus on work at the Library prior to the time of Jesus.]

5. “Greek Physicians of the Classical Period” Against the backdrop of the Hippocratic corpus, but not restricted to it, describe the physician, or physicians, of the 5th and 4th centuries among the Greeks. What qualities and/or abilities did an ancient Greek doctor have? How did he conduct his craft? What hindrances did he encounter?

6. “Sources for the Study of Ancient Science” Written document are the greatest source of our knowledge about the science of the Egyptians, Mesopotamians and the Greeks. Compare and contrast the written records of these three civilizations. In addition to obvious differences in alphabets and writing materials, you may wish to consider their relative availability, their usefulness, their different styles, etc. [This is an opportunity for someone who wants to read more about these earlier cultures.]

7. “The Science of Aristophanes’ Clouds” Aristophanes’ Clouds contains a parody of scientific theories and practices current in the fifth century. What sorts of topics does Aristophanes’ deal with, and how does he make fun of contemporary scientists?” Does he seem to reject the science he sees around him, or is he a supporter of the new science? In the end, does he make fun of science or of religion?

I'm leaning towards number 2 personally. Cause I think that would be terribly interesting.
