Anthropology

It isn't in most cases. Unless you've acquired the condition due to injury, inflammation, the use of certain eyedrops, or tumors. If you've had it all your life, it shouldn't be a problem. Some people inherit heterochromia. Read more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia

This question is worthy of a thesis; not a quick one-liner here. That said, I'll indulge in a huge amount of generalization: Humans are a social animal -- we don't exist well alone, and so we form up into small groups in the wild. In prehistoric times, evidence indicates that nomadic groups were typically numbered between 50 or 100 persons at any given time. And so the minimum base population was one in which any given group, in order to survive and propagate, and in order to maintain genetic diversity, would need to meet other, genetically non-identical groups. Factors invovled would of course include the availability of food and water, climatic causes for the necessity of shelter (versus travel), the possible presence of geographic features that increased likelihood of encounter, etc. This then is the low end of the population bell curve as it relates to long term survival. As population density increases, more and more interaction between genetically diverse groups occurs. This causes a wider, healthier genetic base to form up and, semiotically, allows for a faster and more inclusive mimetic diversity as well. So we see an increase in survivability in physiological, nutritional, sociological and semiotic areas. After a time, and as with any organism, over-crowding sets in and starts to generate a complex of health-related factors. In mammalian populations, when nutrition is not a factor (e.g. there is ample food and water available, and sewage is also not a problem), gross overcrowding showed at first an increase in cardiovascular events as well as an increase in psychological presentations that could be related to neuro-physiological phenomena. An experiment circa the 1960's with Sikh Deer on an island that presented more than amble pasturage and no sewage related health issues, showed an annual increase in the population until density was approximately 400% over max norm. The next year's study showed a massive population die-off, in which the living population had reduced to roughly 90% max norm. Autopsies of recently dead individuals showed adequate nutrition, but also the effects of a high degree of stress (indications of intense, chronic cardiovascular strain) as well as a high level of adrenochrome, a metabolite of adrenalin. The interpretation was that the animals, who experienced a fight-flight reaction on over-close proximity with other animals, hyper-secreted adrenalin, and suffered for it. What caused the sudden die-off at exactly that point was not determined in the course of this study and, in most naturally occurring cases, this level of population density will not be reached, as groups will migrate away, if they can. We can therefore surmise that, after the maximum beneficial population density is reached, we will see a decline in the overall health picture, as population increases. Cardiovascular problems and other stress-related pathologies start to manifest in greater and greater incidences, as well as stress-related psychopathologies. We also note that intense chronic stress can result in a loss of efficiency of the immune system, thus paving the way for unusual mini-epidemics and epizootics. In summary, starting at minimum population density, health increases to an optimum level, and then falls off as population surpasses the max safe density.

Dreaming about news of death can symbolize feelings of loss, change, or fear in your waking life. It may suggest a need to confront your emotions surrounding mortality, or process grief or endings that you are experiencing. Pay attention to the specific details in the dream to gain a better understanding of the message it is trying to convey.

Attraction is subjective and varies among individuals. However, many people find big cats like lions or leopards to be attractive due to their grace, strength, and majestic appearance. Ultimately, the concept of "sexy" is a human construct and may not apply to animals in the same way.

The theory on unattractive changes that occur as we age is that they are *meant* to make us unattractive so that only the younger and healthier people will mate and reproduce, thus making the species stronger and assuring its continuation. Nature has its wisdom.

Yes, some Egyptian masks were given special names, often associated with the deity or individual they were meant to represent. These names could highlight the mask's purpose, symbolism, or connection to Egyptian myths and beliefs.

Yes, it is possible to get a master's degree in anthropology with a bachelor's degree in sociology. However, you may need to fulfill certain prerequisites or take additional courses to bridge the gap between the two disciplines. It's advisable to check with the specific graduate program you're interested in to understand their admission requirements.

The spleen is the organ that filters out microorganisms and foreign materials from the blood. It plays a crucial role in the immune response by removing old or damaged red blood cells and fighting off infections.

People often migrate in search of better job opportunities or higher wages in order to improve their economic situation. This could involve moving to regions or countries with stronger job markets or industries that align with their skills or experience.

''To dream about the death of a loved one, suggests that you are lacking a certain aspect or quality that the loved one embodies. Ask yourself what makes this person special or what do you like about him. It is that very quality that you are lacking in your own relationship or circumstances. Alternatively, it indicates that whatever that person represents has no part in your own life'' gott it from google lolsz =] i had a dream that my cousin brian. whos in the army and away right now killed himself right in front of me. he is liek a second father to me. and as a young teen this frightned me. ive decided to dedicate the rest of my high school career into finding out exactly why i had this terrible dream. if u have any information.. pleaseeee tell me.

Old Stone. More particularly, the old stone tool-making period, when human tools were only very slightly modifed rocks (perhaps a little chipping on the edge so as to make a better scraper). As the modifications became more complex (a stone knapped so it had a sharp point AND could be tied on a stick) Paleolithic yielded to Neolithic or New Stone.

The extraction of metals left the stones themselves behind and we began to speak of the Bronze Age and the Iron Age.

Physical anthropologists, also known as biological anthropologists, study early hominids as well as modern humans. Early hominids are the ancestors of humans, many physical anthropologists specialize in this field. Other physical anthropologists will specialize in modern humans and focus on studying grave sites discovered during excavations.

The Taliban is not a 'people' it is not a religious/political party in Afghanistan as claimed or labled.

TALIBAN simply means STUDENT

Taliban were never know in the west before 9-11. A brief history of taliban is as follows> Sometime in 1999 to 2000 before so called Taliban came in power in Afaganistan the country was ruled and governed by few power full TRIBES of each area. Looting, robbery, rape, bribes were an every day issues for the POOR.

It took a dramatic change when a local girl was raped in day light and when the family complained to the local police station they were kicked out and given more abuse, and at this point the family went to the local Mosque and asked for the help of the IMAM (leader of the mosque). The local Imam together with his students(as know TALIBAN) caught the offenders( the rapist) and they were punished.

Now it was history any person who could not get justice from the govertment would approach the Imam and would get justice.

This justice spread through whole of AFAGANISTAN with in two years of its first case being brought to the local Imam and as from this day the students became to be known as TALIBAN.

A RECENT VISIT TO AFAGANISTAN BY JASON BURKE FROM GUARDIAN NEWS PAPER DESCRIBES HIS VISIT>

'When the Taliban were in power, you could drive all the way to Kandahar [Afghanistan's second city, 250 miles away] with a bag of money and no one would touch you,' he said. 'Now the government are thieves. Since 2001 nothing has changed, except security is worse.'

The only cases that come before Amanullah Ishaqzai, a government judge in Wardak, are those which require an official stamp or disputes among the province's mainly Shia Muslim Hazara ethnic minority, who have historically suffered at the hands of the Sunni Pashtun tribes who make up the bulk of the Taliban. Most of the province's 800,000 inhabitants, mainly peasants, go to the insurgents for rough but often effective justice.

'I can't blame them,' Ishaqzai said. 'A court case in the government system takes five years and many bribes. The Taliban will settle it in an afternoon.'

Every villager has stories of how the Taliban settle the myriad property disputes which mark Afghan society. In scores of cases, Ishaqzai said, he had convened a traditional tribal council with an Islamic scholar as a judge rather than send cases to higher courts. 'That way at least they get a decision,' he said. The clerics involved are often senior Taliban commanders.

It is not just civil cases. According to Mohammed Musa Hotak, an MP from Wardak, the Taliban arrived in a village in the southern district of Jalreez last week, arrested three well-known thieves, tarred their faces and paraded them as 'an example.

A government minister talked of how in his own village earlier this month a shopowner had complained to the Taliban after being robbed and had got his goods back after the insurgents simply circulated a 'night letter', one of the pamphlets that have been the Afghan insurgents' favoured means of communication for decades, saying that they knew the thief and would hang him publicly. A second shopkeeper who went to the local authorities obtained nothing but a beating when he belatedly asked the insurgents' help

It is likely that Australopithecus hunted in groups as they were social animals with similar behaviors to modern primates, who often hunt cooperatively. Their anatomy and tool use suggest they may have utilized group hunting strategies to capture prey. However, the exact hunting behaviors of Australopithecus are still debated among scientists.

Archaeology Archaeologists use the material evidence of the past. They study potsherds, tools, the ruins of buildings, animal bones, and many other types of objects to learn how people lived in the past. Archaeologists study both prehistoric cultures (those who left behind no written records) and historic ones too. The patterns of the archaeological record are used to explore topics such as the emergence of agriculture, the evolution of technology, the appearance of complex societies, and how societies change over long periods of time. Biological Anthropology Bioanthropologists concentrate on the biological aspects of humans. They examine biological variation across space and time to explore topics such as human evolution, how humans adapt to different physical environments, and what other primates (our closest relatives) can tell us about what it means to be human. Bioanthropologists often look for links between human biology and culture to determine how each affects the other. Linguistic Anthropology Linguistic anthropologists study the social and cultural contexts of language and how they vary. They can seek to reconstruct vanished languages, study the fundamental processes of language and how it evolves, how it is related to patterns of thought and meaning in different cultures, and how and why social variation relates to the ways language is produced and used. Social and Cultural Anthropology Cultural anthropologists study living societies and cultures by learning from the people who inhabit them. They may conduct ethnographic field work by going to live as a participant-observer with a group, society, or culture. They make comparisons between cultures to explain similarities and differences. Cultural anthropologists can study any aspect of a culture - family structure, social organization, economics, political systems, religion, art, and language. They are especially interested in the linkages and connections that bind cultures and societies together or distinguish them from each other.

Sociology examines social phenomenon e.g. socially constructed gender identities. Sociologists might ask why it is that females are socialised to behave in certain ways, eg. why does the imagery on maths textbooks in schools feature masculine themes/colors in order to normalise this as a male subject, and imagery on home economics books feature feminine themes/colors to appeal to girs? Sociologists might ask, how does socialising gender identities in this way maintain a particular social order, whose interests does this searve and why, in order to think outside the square and understand society at a deeper level.

There are similarities between social work and psychology. e.g. both may provide counselling/supportive functions in their day to day work. Agencies such as child protection services can hire people with degrees in sociology, social work or psychology to perform pretty much the same job. However, theories used behined performing this performance can differ depending of qualifications.

As the name suggests, psychologists are familiar with the human psych- how the mind works and how this affects behaviours. Career opportunities for psychologists include consumer research, advertising and marketing. As the name suggests, social workers are familiar with the social- the impact of social issues e.g. new social policies on individuals, communities and groups. Carrer opportunities for social workers include particular service areas such as housing or domestic violence, or policy areas such as discrimination and inequality.

Snowball sampling allows for the recruitment of hard-to-reach populations, such as marginalized or hidden communities. It is particularly useful for studying groups where there is no defined sampling frame. Additionally, it can help build trust and rapport with participants as referrals come from within the community.

It seems like there may have been a typo in your question. If you meant to ask about "samadhi," it's a state of deep meditative absorption where the mind becomes completely still and focused. It is a goal in various spiritual traditions that leads to a sense of unity and connection with the divine or higher self.

Sharing food with neighboring groups helped to establish alliances and build social relationships within the community. It also ensured reciprocity in times of need, strengthening overall community resilience and cooperation. Additionally, it may have been a cultural norm that promoted generosity and hospitality.

Ethnographers, as both professions involve studying different cultures, societies, and human behavior through observation and analysis. Both anthropologists and ethnographers aim to understand and interpret the complexities of human societies and their cultural practices. They often conduct fieldwork, interviews, and research to gain insights into various aspects of human life.
