Anthropology

At a recent discussion with a group of friends, I sustained that it was ancient women who had developed agriculture and achieved the domestication of some animals, based on:

a) Women have a superior ability and a greater amount of patience, to observe tiny details or events that pass unnoticed to men.

b) After men had killed an animal to eat, her cubs or puppies were abandoned. I am sure that women picked them up, took care of them and fed them. How? By breastfeeding them, in some cases.

I saw on TV, some time ago, a program that showed photos of women breastfeeding animals. Unfortunately, I did not tape it. Right now I was able to obtain two pictures (only) in the web on the subject.

My contention does not refer to who is superior to whom, but to investigate the possibility of my being right or wrong. Should any of the readers have a photo or knows where I can get one, I shall appreciate it very much.

Thanks in advance,

I am a generally healthy white 41-year-old female with a pretty poor diet due to trying to keep my weight down. I do know that I suffer from anemia, but iron pills and vitamins don't seem to be the best way to raise my hemoglobin. I would rather do it by eating a healthy diet.

My boyfriend is a healthy white 56-year-old male who had bladder cancer a couple of years ago, but has since recovered. He does smoke, but is currently trying to quit. His diet is fairly good, but could be better.

Anyway, my question is this..............

We are both very interested in a healthy diet and we would like to make whatever changes are needed to bring about optimum health. What kind of diet do we consider? Where can I find additional information on the diet, like recipes, shopping lists, etc..?

From single cell organisms to basic amphibious creatures through to apes and then homo sapiens. Where is the next evolutionary leap going to come from? What is the most obvious way that humans are going to evolve to prove Darwins theory of 'survival of the fittest? Or will our fate be the same as the dinosaurs?

I saw a programme on UK television tonight C4 entitled The Last Slave http://www.channel4.com/history/microsites/H/history/a-b/britains_slave_trade.html - I found it very interesting, not least because as the man on the documentary kept saying ''there is no black and white'' to the truth.

He researched into his past with the aid of his grandfather's diaries, a trip to Jamaica & a visit to a historian in central London & found he had to come to terms with some rather uncomfortable truths about the slave trade and human behaviour in general i.e. that black people sold black people to slave traders etc., that most of the wealth of 17th and 18th century England had relied heavily on the slave trade and that people in Jamaica inspite of it, thought that the British Empire had left somethings behind that were to be desired - the highlight of the documentary was when this black man in search of his roots so to speak came face to face with a white owner of a surviving sugar plantation!

This question is for anyone who can offer me a plausible explanation for the occurence of both evolution and the creation of man by God by the way of Adam and Eve. I think there is proof of both of them, but I am baffled as to how it could be. Do you think it's possible and why?

When you look at people some more than others have very similar facial characteristics. They aren't related in any way, shape or form but manage to have similar bone structure, the same type or eyes, noes, etc. Is it human genetics? Does nature have a set of facial characteristics and that everyone is a mixture or a variation of different sets? If someone can give me a logical somewhat scientific explaination, it would make my day ^_^

They are so ugly!
None of them look like anyone I know, either.
Do you think they used composite photos of real faces?

The Anthopologist, in general, believes we evolved from Ape-Like creatures. The Archeologist believes we are and have always believed we have been in Humanoid form. My Question concerns both statements above. What if we were "brought" here to Earth as a human race, evolved into something else, and evolved back in to Humans? To be Honest, and NO disrespect to the Scientific Community at large, EVERYTHING is PURE speculation. In research there are definitely diffinitive QUESTIONS, but no REAL diffinitive ANSWERS. ok, so how did Life start at ALL? Ape, Human or otherwise? THAT is the REAL question that warrents contemplation and research. If 90% of the HUMAN race believes we are the ONLY intelligent life in the Universe, are we really an OPEN minded race at all? I believe I as a person have an open mind and do all the research I can before I come to a conclusion. There are so many therories out there today that we as an individual must decide for ourselves, what to believe.

By doing so the humans beings have become a lot smarter. Is the same evident from various species of animals - who do you think they tend to follow or copy - after all they all have brain, thinking and analytical powers. Give real convincing examples.

I've handled a few wild animals and have been around a few that were killed ..... and ... some animals may have a musky smell but most I've been around don't stink.

However..... if you're around human that doesn't bathe ... they smell like poop, pee, fish, vomit, sweat or God knows what else. Why does mankind turn so foul .... when other animals exhibit very little odor ? Has anyone been around natives ? Do they smell so bad ??

'Aging' and 'Old'?
Ok, because teachers are evil, my Sociology teacher assigned a paper over Spring break. I need your help. If you could please send me 10-12 words that you think relate to 'aging' or 'old' you will be my next best friend (after the 15 people I have already promised die.) So for example, you might think that 70 is 'old' so that would be one of your words (or phrases) Please give your answers in list form. I have to get 14+ people this next week. If you do choose to participate, please include your Age, Gender, Location, and Ethnicity as these are all part of the assignment. If you don't include them I have to guess. Thanks everyone

Please give your answers in list form like this:
1. 70
2. walkers
3.
4.
etc
thanks!

Made the Earth.
And made man.
BUT, Man disobeyed him,
Then why didn't he just make a new Earth, with New Humans?
