Evolution – what is different kind of evolution of a man?

April 2nd, 2012

The human race will one day split into two separate species, an attractive, intelligent ruling elite and an underclass of dim-witted, ugly goblin-like creatures, according to a top scientist.

100,000 years into the future, sexual selection could mean that two distinct breeds of human will have developed.

The alarming prediction comes from evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry from the London School of Economics, who says that the human race will have reached its physical peak by the year 3000.

It is the evolution of someone learning how to properly ask a question without some having to think "what do they mean". So try again and properly write out what you want to know. Or maybe learn to speak english.

Did the people in Scandinavia move there a long time ago to escape the people in the area of the Roman Empire?

April 2nd, 2012

I’ve just culled this from Wilkipedia:

During the pre-Roman Iron Age (from the 4th to the 1st century BC), the climate in Denmark and southern Scandinavia became cooler and wetter, limiting agriculture and setting the stage for local groups to migrate southward into Germania. At around this time people began to extract iron from the ore in peat-bogs. Evidence of strong Celtic cultural influence dates from this period in Denmark and in much of northwest Europe, and survives in some of the older place-names.

The Roman provinces, whose frontiers stopped short of Denmark, nevertheless maintained trade-routes and relations with Danish or proto-Danish peoples, as attested by finds of Roman coins. The earliest-known runic inscription dates back to ca. 200 ?? literacy as well probably came from the south. Depletion of cultivated land in the last century BC seems to have contributed to increasing migrations in northern Europe and increasing conflict between Teutonic tribes and Roman settlements in Gaul. Roman artifacts occur especially commonly in finds from the 1st century. It seems clear that some part of the Danish warrior-aristocracy served in the Roman army

So, it looks like there was a lot of trade and any conflicts arose from the use of agricultural land. Don’t forget that the peoples of Scandinavia were in place many thousands of years before the Roman Empire.

The vast majority of the human population of Scandinavia are Scandinavians, descended from several (North) Germanic tribes who originally inhabited the southern part of Scandinavia and what is now northern Germany, who spoke a Germanic language that evolved into Old Norse and who were known as Norsemen in the Early Middle Ages. The Vikings are popularly associated with Norse culture. The peoples of Iceland and the Faroe Islands are mostly descended from Scandinavians; in Finland, the Scandinavians only constitute a small minority, mostly found in the southwest. The extreme north of Norway, Sweden and Finland is home to a small minority of Sami people, whereas Finland’s majority population are Finns.

In the late Early Middle Ages, numerous Germanic petty kingdoms and chiefdoms were unified into three kingdoms, Denmark, Norway and Sweden, and Christianity was adopted, replacing Norse mythology, itself a subset of Germanic paganism. Despite many wars over the years since the formation of the three kingdoms, Scandinavian nations and people have been politically and socially close. Constellations and alliances, however, have shifted over the centuries. For all of the fifteenth century, Scandinavia was united in the Kalmar Union. In the nineteenth century a new political union was proposed, but it did not take place when Denmark was denied key military support by Sweden in a conflict with Prussia. Today, the nations cooperate mainly in the European Union or the Nordic Council.

The Danish, Faroese, Icelandic, Norwegian and Swedish languages are linguistically classified as North Germanic languages (also called Scandinavian languages), while the Finnish and Sami languages are classified as Uralic languages which is a language family entirely unrelated to Scandinavian. Danish, Norwegian and Swedish form a completely mutually intelligible dialect continuum, which is seen as a defining characteristic of Scandinavia as a cultural and linguistic entity. Command of any of these languages is considered sufficient to communicate fully and professionally with any other Scandinavians. Icelandic and Faroese are only intelligible to a very limited extent to speakers of other Scandinavian languages, and have remained more similar to Old Norse than the other languages.

The name Scandinavia historically referred vaguely to Scania, a formerly Danish region, which has been part of Sweden since 1720. The terms Scandinavia and Scandinavian entered usage in the 18th century as terms for the three Scandinavian countries, their (Germanic) peoples and associated language and culture, being introduced by the early linguistic and cultural Scandinavist movement. The Scandinavian Peninsula subsequently also took its name from the ethno-cultural-linguistic term.[4]

Is there any such thing as an ethnic caucasian?

April 2nd, 2012

There are a number of defined Human races and ‘Caucasian’ is one of them.

However, Caucasian covers many sub-units: It also has a surprising scope: See this Wiki quote:

Physical anthropology

"Caucasoid race" is a term formerly used in physical anthropology to refer to people of a certain range of anthropometric measurements. Conceived as one of the "great races", alongside Mongoloid and *******, it was taken to consist of a number of "sub-races". The Caucasoid peoples were usually divided in three groups on linguistic grounds, termed Aryan (Indo-European), Semitic (Semitic languages) and Hamitic (Berber-Cushitic-Egyptian).

The postulated sub-races vary depending on the author, including but not limited to Nordic, Mediterranean, Alpine, Dinaric, East Baltic, Arabid, Turanid, Iranid and Armenoid subraces.

19th century classifications of the peoples of India considered the Dravidians of non-Caucasoid stock as Australoid or a separate Dravida race, and assumed a gradient of miscegenation of high-caste Caucasoid Aryans and indigenous Dravidians.

By contrast, Carleton S. Coon in his 1939 The Races of Europe classified the Dravidians as Caucasoid as well, due to his assessment of what he called their "Caucasoid skull structure" and other physical traits (e.g. noses, eyes, hair). In his The Living Races of Man, Coon stated that "India is the easternmost outpost of the Caucasian racial region". Sarah A Tishkoff and Kenneth K Kidd state: "Despite disagreement among anthropologists, this classification remains in use by many researchers, as well as lay people."

There was no universal consensus of the validity of the "Caucasian" grouping within those who attempted to categorize human variation. Thomas Henry Huxley in 1870 wrote that the "absurd denomination of ‘Caucasian’" was in fact a conflation of his Xanthochroi and Melanochroi types.

In 1920, H. G. Wells referred to the Mediterranean race as the Iberian race. He regarded it as a fourth sub-race of the Caucasian race, along with the Aryan, Semitic, and Hamitic subraces. He stated that the main ethnic group that most purely represented the racial stock of the Iberian race was the Basques, and that the Basques were the descendants of the Cro-Magnons. In 1994, in his book The History and Geography of Human Genes, population geneticist L. Luca Cavalli-Sforza stated that ??there is support from many sides?? for the hypothesis that the Basques are the descendents of the original Cro-Magnons.

In a 1989 article in Scientific American by Colin Renfrew, he classifies the Dravidian race along with the Semitic race and the Aryan race as the three major subdivisions that emerged from the Proto-Caucasian race, which he states separated into the aforementioned three groups about 9,000 BCE after migrating from North Africa??-the Semitics (i.e., Proto-Semitics) establishing themselves in and radiating from Jericho, the Aryans (i.e., Proto-Indo-Europeans) establishing themselves in and radiating from Catal Huyuk, and the Dravidians (i.e., Proto-Dravidians) establishing themselves in and radiating from what is now southern Iran.

caucasian actually refers to people from the caucus area which is in the eurasian region so idk i guess

yea, what if your from Poland

Is it me or am i the only one that thinks that whole aliens in ancient civilization thing is misunderstanding?

April 2nd, 2012

Yes….the ancient aliens theory is simply a misinterpretation of the evidences from ancient cultures. There is no real evidence that any alien beings visited ancient people…it’s all based on conjecture and assumptions and other explanations are available.

If someone today believed that aliens visited earth and gave us computer technology or how to build dams would you believe them as well? What evidence is there for this?…none. Anyone can draw a picture on a wall of what they think aliens look like…doesn’t mean it’s real. Or dream up stories of how their ancestors were given secret knowledge by beings from other planets.

People like von Daniken and others get rich by promoting such ideas but there is no real evidence that any of the things they cite could not have been developed by man. Moving large stones? The largest rock ever moved on earth weighed around 1500 tons and it was moved by manual labor in Russia….the Thunder Stone.

"The "largest stone ever moved by man

The Thunder Stone is sometimes claimed to be the "largest stone ever moved by man". This stone was large and heavy; it was effectively moved 6 km (4 miles) overland to the Gulf of Finland by manpower alone; no animals or machines were used. Transported by barge up the Neva River, it reached St. Petersburg. The entire effort is considered an historic engineering feat."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronze_Hors??

Did aliens help them do that as well? No. Some also suggest that Stonehenge rocks were moved using ball bearings…
http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/??

A man named Wally Wallington is building his own Stonehenge by himself using simple methods…he knows a few things about moving large rocks and objects.
http://theforgottentechnology.com/

It’s also thought by some researchers that the Nazca people could have used hot air balloons to observe the lines and figures they drew on the plains. People like Von Daniken assume that ancient cultures were primitive…the real evidence shows they were not. The were highly advanced and knowledgeable for their times…perhaps moreso than we are today in some ways.

Optical lenses have also been found in many ancient cultures which enabled some to view stars and planets with greater detail than is assumed…some also had microscopic writings. One object drawn on the Nazca plain is a certain type of spider called ricinulei….only found in the Amazon 1000 miles away. A reproductive organ on it’s hind leg…drawn on the plain.. can only be seen with an optical lens. Did aliens give them this technology or did they figure it out for themselves?

Von Daniken borrowed his ideas from other fiction writers…

First, I agree with all that Gee Bee states and you should be more careful in the future with your wording and sentence structure.

Having said that, I would like to point out that in order to have a "misunderstanding" one must first have FACTS, or at least a verifiable occurrence, to misunderstand.Since there are no FACTS that aliens exist or have ever visited our planet (just conjecture and speculation) we can only have a DEBATE and not a misunderstanding.

But, to answer your attempt at a legitimate question, NO, you are not alone in your thinking, however misguided it may be.

The "Nice aliens came to earth and taught people" thinking must be preceded by ‘As humans were soooo dumb…"

The ancient aliens stuff, has things like "The Mayan pyramids, the Egyptians had pyramids, it must be aliens." What get’s ignored is the two thousand years between the culture building pyramids, that their use differed and there’s only a couple of practical ways to pile stone.

So it’s much easier to understand humans were able to pile rocks then have aliens show us how. Worse, there is not one piece of alien technology left. Not even the equivalent of a beer can! One supposed piece if ‘alien metal" was found to have been left overs from an art project. In fact the artist was not amused.

The ancient aliens stuff sells books and TV shows. It’s the money that can be made rather then any real belief in the subject.

Is it me, or is your question totally unintelligible..?

‘Whole aliens..?’ is that as opposed to ‘half-aliens’ or ‘partial aliens..?’ What..?’

So they were in Ancient Civilizations (thing) and somewhere in all this there’s a ‘misunderstanding..? ‘

Trust me. Not ‘somewhere.’ ‘EVERYWHERE..!’

Why don’t you post the question again but this time in English, so everyone can understand what you are asking..?

You can’t even prove if they exist or not.It’s a 50/50 situation.
When we don’t know something is right or wrong, how can you say the whole concept is a misunderstanding.

Is the Human Race just another of the world’s diseases?

April 2nd, 2012

I’m actually being serious here. We kill each other, we pretty much kill everything that breathes or grows, we’re killing the Earth. We spread like a disease, we’re over-populating the earth and killing other stuff for our numbers to keep multiplying and multiplying. Seriously are we just another disease or virus? This is a Science question so please keep Religion out of it.

No. Definitely not..!

That’s like asking, ‘are African Marching Ants a Disease..? Of course they are not..! Or, a plague of rats, are they are virus..? Again, utter nonsense.

I fear you have a somewhat idealistic and even childish approach to anthropology.

Species do what they do in order to survive. No-one promised you that it would be ‘pretty.’

Look on the bright side. We evolved and produced a working brain. We learned by experience. We developed a medical code and regime. We learned to help people survive and live longer.

Progress is not a given and it is not universal, on a planetary scale, that is. Some places have Medicare. Some places have famine and ethnic cleansing.

Did anyone every promise you rose garden..? Get with the programme. if all this stuff bothers you, become a ‘Mother Teresa’ and go save the Planet but be aware, that takes more guts than writing feisty questions on Yahoo..! Choose your battlefield..!

We are not the worlds desease. We are not killing the world. We are killing ourselves…
The world has been changing and seen worst conditions compared to what it is now.
100 years after the human race has gone, the world can clean back all the mess we made.
It’s us who can’t survive with what’s happening. We became our own virus…

We are a kind of virus that just grows and destroys with no purpose. But, it’s not like the the earth can feel, anyway, so who cares if we blow it up?

What is the role of kinship ?

April 2nd, 2012

Kinship relations are blood relations or those relations which are created naturally.The role of kinship in human race is created for transmitting the power and position of the elders to their new generations. The kinship relations are united and they make a family and each family is unique in its nature and behavior, which they want to stick into family only. so it is like inheritanceand succession of family positionin the society.

That surprises me that they are teaching the natives to speak Lakota at least on the Res.They pretty much had eliminated all language except English in schools up to the time when I went to grade school in the early 60′s.Black Elk said the culture would return in 5 generations if my memory of his book Black Elk Speaks is correct.It looks like he was correct.I grew up in South Dakota so I knew a few words in Lakota but never heard them counting.
