Anthropology

Most people think that anthropologists deal with esoteric theory and do research in far-flung and isolated corners of the world. Is anthropology relevant, or on its way out? Is it simply a novelty and a fun class in college, or is it important in the context of contemporary problems?

I just saw an ant outside as I was getting home, and couldn't help but wonder how long ago we shared a common ancestor. We're both eukaryotes, although I'm a chordate and she's an arthropod. We're both coelomates, however. The first coelomates were the Vernanimalcula, which lived some 580 to 600 million years ago. Be that as it may, humans' ancestors (or those organisms that would one day branch off into primates) and insects' ancestors (those that would become arthropods) might have more recent ancestry of only a few hundred million years.

I'd invite the ant in for an extended family get-together, but I wanted to know who are most recent ancestor was first. It'd make for good conversation at our next family reunion. ;)

If we evolved from apes, then why do they still exist? Why didn't all apes evolve?

Or is this like the invention of fire and wheel so ancient that knowledge of which society first invented baskets is not known? Anyone else think baskets should rank with the wheel and fire as the big three technological inventions?

I saw a program on Discovery that explained that mammals with larger testicles are MORE likely to be infidels than mammals with small testicles, INCLUDING HUMANS!!
Human male testicles are moderately sized compared to other mammals.
Could that mean that men are predisposed to cheating? Wouldn't that also mean that fidelity is a CULTURAL expectation and infidelity is "natural"?

You would think that Europeans, and their American cousins, would be head over heels enamored with all things Indian: Indian music, Indian movies, Indian food, Indian whatever.
But they're not. India is a very under-rated culture.
What's up with that?

I'm doing a case study and I need some assistance.

Problem:
The kid's parents were divorced when he was very young, and he has no contact with his father since he was 5 years old.

Would this experience impact him more psychologically or anthropologically?

Here's another question, would a person reacting with a group of people be sociological or anthropological? Like a boy with friends.

I was wondering who was the first person that told the public that humans were animals too instead of some sort of superior being.

Evolution and creationism are often presented as if one cannot exist as long the other exists. People take sides and declare themselves evolutionists or creationists and they are sworn enemies.
Where do the two theories/concepts actually conflict?
