Anthropology

I have never read a book or taken a class on this subject, but remembering history indians occupied Mexico such as the Aztecs, Myans, Incas, etc, then Spain invaded the region; Would that mean that mexicans are a mixture of the 2 or is it more complicated than that?

Are there distinct patterns or characteristics that belong to a nationality/country or race? Like a Russian compared to an Irishman?

They often have their own distinct ethic look, true. However, some are just absolute dead ringers for the Bantu racial type in West Africa.

It is only recently that most of us can live our entire lives by not having to make anything for ourselves. Our ancestors only a few generations removed (depending where you live of course) had to make their own clothes, tools and anything else they needed.

They witnessed the transformation of raw material into items of use or value. In example: plant-fibre-yarn-cloth or orestone-metal-tool. If you had no knowledge on how this process worked, would it not seem like magic to you? This is why I believe there are superstitions in Russia about spinning yarn, why within Siberian nomadic cultures the smith is regarded closer to a shaman, if they are not the shaman themselves, or why in some cultures in northern Africa it is the blacksmith that does the circumcition.

So now that everything is delivered to us by money. How many of you can tell how your clothes where made or the cutlery on your table was produced? Do you called it magic or technology or science?

I asked yesterday on this forum if there is any evidence of human beings *beginning* the very *initial* stages of *starting* to evolve into different species (I didn't ask if humans had already evolved into different species). Many people said that different "races" were evidence of evolutionary change.
How can this be if there is no such thing as race?

Animals are created to live as much as human do.The existential living of an animal is part of our ecological safety living and not for utility use.Under no circumstances todays human should live on them as far as the law of mother nature is concerned. They first arrive on the planet earth without causing any harm to anyone before the arrival of so called human flesh eating humans came to the earth to settle with the permission of the animals.Animals are humans that are very accountable creates a feeling of new living,give all kinds of comfort guide sincere vigilance and support to humans in all ways,very inspirational in their co-existencies with society, who never causes harm to anyone,mindful in their thinking,well accepted to anyone who shows love to them.They are more interlligent than lawyers and more accurate than barristers and are sound auditionist and the best scientist that the world can ever see with all animals without exceptions,health humanitarian reasons live them alone

Neophytes of Birth can participate in this. Unfortunately, I am not asking the people who want to maintain their preference in believing babies come through walls. Whatever your marked experience, it is not relevant here because I am only asking People who believe the World may not be Flat after all. Most Men and Women do not know what I am talking about - but it exists the Big Circle of a Birthing Woman. If only Women knew how OPENED they became through the wonderful workings of their Bodies, they would not be scared to swim. They would not tear, if only they knew one thing, but I am not allowed to tell. No, I got censored on French yahoo, for telling & showing my compatriots a 3D animation of the Beautiful rythms of the vaginal canal. So much for my Country with the highest episiotomy rate in the World, whose psyche I touched obviously when proving 'humbly' that the World is Round and Coronation beheadings are tantamount to medieval Times complete with plying to the master's Right(!)

If I understand the theory of evolution correctly, the idea is that, if you divide a population of a species and put them in different environments, they will, over millions of years, evolve into different species. This takes a long time, so, in the mean time, you will see certain small differences between the two groups as they start to evolve into different species. Yet, there is no evidence of human beings evolving into different species. There is no evidence of human beings even beginning to start the very initial stages of evolving into different species. Isn't this enough to disprove the theory of evolution?

....and yet separately across cultures? (eg.native americans & african tribes) I guess what I'm asking is if the tool was invented by one person so long ago and then taught, or if several different people from different cultures invented it at the same time. There's a phrase that describes this phenomenon, but I fergot[sic] what it is...

I was reading in Live Science that modern day humans (Homo Sapiens) and Neaderthals lived in close proximity to each other and that they may have interbred. Some say climate change or the interbreeding may have caused Neaderthals to go extinct. Also due to the fact that Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens were so close in DNA ( and evolutionary-wise) that they may have produced viable offspring. Most generally Homo Sapiens is portrayed as looking like a person with northern European traits: narrower nose, thinner lips, paler skin and light colored hair; while Neanderthals are generally portrayed as having a wider face, flatter nose with thicker lips, more of a protruding forehead, and (presumably, I am not sure how they can tell this?) slightly more swarthier skin tone.

Without all the hate mail and name calling, and hopefully with some scientific fact (and tact), is it possible that Black Africans are descended form the Homo Sapien & Neanderthal interbreeding union?

I am sure you have all seen the caveman commercials that Geico have out. "It so easy a caveman can do it"

Well let say that Geico said "Its so easy a slave or black person could do it" there would definitally be lawsuits against them then.

I am sure that some of our roots came from cavemen. Are they not poking fun at our ancestors. Not that I do but what if I found this offensive since some of my ancestors could have very possibly been cavemen.
