Anthropology

Given nearly an infinite amount of time (the earth is 4.6 billion years old) in a universe which is 20 billion years old, we may not be the last in the chain, of ever-evolving homonids. Perhaps in a 100,000 years, something more intelligent than what we classify ourselves as today (wise or knowing man), we will replace Homo Sapiens, as the dominant mammal of the earth...

Simply put, evolution begins with errors during DNA replication. Most of these errors are unsuccessful, and disappear. However, a very small number of these "errors" survive, and lead to successful mutations.

An example of successful mutations, would be Blood Types "A" & "B", which successfully mutated from "O". As we have surpassed Homo Erectus and Neanderthals, do you think it is possible that Homo Sapiens can be surpassed?

When I use to believe in god, I believed adam was the first prehuman, living in a garden, without having a civilization !!

But now that I am atheist, I would like to know the FACTS on where and when the first prehuman and later humans came on the scene in the history of humanity !!

I would appreciate as many Sources, Websites, books to read, etc. etc. as possible Please.

Thank You Very Much.

P.S. - I'll probably have other questions coming concerning prehumans, humans, civilizations,
history, etc.
Thank You all very much for bearing with me, and sharing your vast knowledge with me.

Has Mel conflated Aztec and Mayan ritual features (i.e. ripping hearts from a living human sacrifice?) in the interests of drama? I know the plot of Apocalypto is fictionalized, but I'd like to know whether the milieu, at least, is based on reality.

I believe they were from around Armenia, and might have been unusually tall. Lived on average to 100+ I thought I saw a picture of them in National Geo.

In Indiana Jones and other such movies, ancient buildings like pyramids are always rigged with booby traps and other mechanisms to kill intruders. Did any do that in real life?

I am only 16 and have recently posted my college applications. Although, I still have time to decide on what to aim towards, in terms of a degree, I have been researching on degrees, and anthropology appeals to me very much.

Before I came across anthropology, I had already decided on the A-levels I wanted to take; Philosophy, English Literature, Sociology, and Religious Studies (however, because not all colleges offer a religious studies A level, I am prepared to exchange it for Phsychology if I have to). It was after I had decided on these that i came across anthropology and realised all these subjects relate to it.

I would like to know what sorts of career prospects are available to those with anthropology degrees. I am asking these questions now because I need to know what to aim towards in order to be able to select my A levels accordingly.

(domination of all major sports),(greater bone density, greater fast twitch muscle, skin quality (melanin), and Blacks were the origional inhabitants of the earth,(Ethiopia) it seems that whenever equal opportunity is provided blacks excel.
Are blacks also are inherently more intelligent that non blacks?
(the majority of course, not all)
