Anthropology

If we are not animals, what we are? If we are called as human beings, why we have animal instincts? And if we are called as civilized, why we fight like animals and killing each other? When the time will come to grow like perfect civilized people?

Several old friends (Anthropology Proffs) of mine have almost come to blows over dating of Mungo man & MtDNA results of the find. Needless to say, one is an "out of Africa" buff while the other subscribes to the "regional evolution" of Homo Sapien. Is any project underway to do a complete genome sequencing of the find, using the new technology being used on Neandertal? I've been told Mungo man's MtDNA is closer to neandertal, than to modern sapien, despite the modern appearance of the skeleton? Any new data or enlightenment on this? Dating varies from 42,000 to 66,000 on this find... much dispute over methods.

I have a theory and I've read it somewhere that the average lifespan of a caveman or pre-human man was 25 years and they reproduced during their teen years. Is this correct or close to the idea that many evolutionists and anthropologists agree on.

And also what ages were they most likely to reproduce?

I was thinking about how in ancient Egypt girls as young as 11 were married off, so do you think that even in prehistoric or ancient time puberty started around age 10 to age 20 (much like today)?

I was watching a show the other night on the health channel about sex and how 4 million years ago or whatever we were still like chimps or monkeys or whatever. so what would happen if the two had sex? would it even work? if it did what would the baby look like???

If an old lady dropped a purse that contained $500, would you pick it up and hand it back to her, or would you keep it? Would it make any difference to your decision if next to the money she had a bill for $495 that you assume she was going to pay with this cash?

What is natural about living in a place that has a snowy, icy, cold winter (or summer, if you live in the southern hemisphere)? Everyone is too cold and living in hiding, farmable vegetation becomes almost nonexistant. It's nearly unlivable. How is anything but a warm climate natural? Serious question.

Please help me with some of my difficulties : I am reading human evolution book.

What is the importance of biological variability first, from the point of view of evolutionary theory.

When was the importance of variability to the concept of evolution first recognized and by whom? - I think by DARWIN .... am I right ?

And, second, from the point of view specifically in explaining variability in modern human populations. Discuss models that have been used to explain how variation appears in populations. ---- I think skin color, blood types etc ........Right ?

Why from time infinite and the creation of humans is it that humans are unable to coexist in harmony betwen sexes, classes , and races from the time of the Creator Adam, Lillith and Eve. We have yet to attain perfect peace, eternal youth, and health. man strives today, works, fights, hates, kills, craves, envies and suffers.

I am doing an informative speech, and I am having trouble finding out what it contributes to our society. How does it enhance our lives? I understand that it tells us the past, but what effect does it play on us personally?

Any sources would be greatly appreciated!!

It may be this simple: let's say, 200,000 years ago, there were individual homo sapiens who tended to get attacked by predators at night because they snored(!) so they banded together (safety in numbers). could this not be a cause for the early devopment of societies? Has anyone thought of this before that you people have heard of? thx, Tom

I am working on a paper for my anthropology class, I need to find ways archaeologists identify domesticated animals when on a dig. Obviously the animal would be discovered with the civilization. Please don't state the obvious.
My book is vague. Any help would be appreciated. I am having trouble finding other resources.

How do archaeologists and anthropologists distinguish between animals that have been hunted and ones that were domesticated for personal reasons?
