I mean, I am guessing that their nails just broke after a while, but what about their hair, did they just let it grow? Did they tie it into a knot? Did they maybe use some sort of primitive knife?

I mean specific words used exclusively to identify individuals within a group that had no other meaning outside this.

Donald Templer and Hiroko Arikawa recently, in a series of papers, have proven to a convincing degree that there is a direct correlation between skin color and IQ. In short, the darker a person's skin (more melanin content), the lower his or her IQ.

However, in colleges and the media, these findings have been kept hidden as if they were too politically incendiary. Why is it such a horror to provide solid scientific evidence (based on genetics and biochemistry) for something most people already know or suspect?

One of my sons wants to study Archeology in college. What can he do with a Bachelor in Archeology? Can he go on scientific digs or is that for Masters/PhDs? Does he need to work towards a Masters or PhD in order to do digs? Are there more opportunities with a degree in Anthropology instead of Archeology?

Why are so many people delving into this ideology of European racesupremacy and advancement . This is is an obvious Eurocentric view, as it fails to account for the advancements of other societies in many academic and societal fields.. A simple example is how the Europeans lacked sanitation in early centuries, whereas the Indus Valley Civilization was "ahead of its time" with advanced sewer systems and aquifer networking (a pattern that continued into many parts of India). In addition, many early medical and mathematical advancements originated in non-European locations, such as India and concepts such as the number 0 were conceptualized and applied in reasonable context in Indian and Mayan civilizations. These are a few of many exmaples in other cultures and races. It seems to me the Europeans are not the most advanced race, but the most advanced at borrowing advancements form other cultures and assimilating them into their own (see "Arabic" numbers, gunpowder). All races equal.

Side by side an elephant lives as long and can kill a human easily. Does this make the elephant mankind's equal? Can one say a human is "better"?

We hear that fish and other marine creatures are migrating north because the water is getting warmer and is thus not the correct environment for them. One assumes that this is an instinctive reaction, part of the evolutionary way that life forms manage to survive.

Given our far greater intelligence, why then did Man stay in areas of the world such as Africa where drought and famine are rife? Those parts of Asia where flood and severe weather is common?

Current thinking is that Man first existed in Africa and that, thus, some of the species DID move to more suitable climes. What caused the rest to stay? Did Man evolve into two (or more)slightly different forms? Is African man, or Asian Man, EXACTLY the same species as European Man?

I am not asking for theories, but for a pointer to some work of reference where I can find out what current thinking is.

I have a hobby about learning about Neanderthals. I have high-functioning autism and I am quite surprised to see people say that autistic people are descendants of the cavemen or have some of their DNA in them. Does this mean that I am a hybrid of a Neanderthal and a human? I battle a lot with behaving like a human around human. Does this account for Neanderthal behavior? Before you ask, I don't act like a monkey.
