Anthropology

White people (also the Caucasian race) is a term usually referring to human beings characterized (at least in part) by the light pigmentation of their skin. Rather than being a straightforward description of skin color, the term white denotes a specific set of ethnic groups and functions as a color metaphor for race.

The most common definition for "White person" is "a person with a visible degree of European ancestry". However, the definition of "White person" differs according to geographical and historical context. Various social constructions of whiteness have had implications in terms of national identity, consanguinity, public policy, religion, population statistics, racial segregation, affirmative action, eugenics, racial marginalization and racial quotas. The concept has been applied with varying degrees of formality and internal consistency in disciplines including sociology, politics, genetics, biology, medicine, biomedicine, language, culture and law.

Staged authenticity refers to the intentional creation or manipulation of cultural or historical experiences to cater to tourist expectations. It often involves artificial or inauthentic representations of a culture or tradition in order to attract visitors and generate revenue, rather than presenting a genuine reflection of the local heritage.

Puerto Ricans have a diverse range of physical appearances due to a mix of indigenous Taíno, Spanish, and African heritage. Common features may include a range of skin tones, eye colors, and hair textures. There is no single description that can accurately represent the rich diversity of Puerto Rican people.

Cultural materialism is an approach that divides a culture into 3 layers: infrastructure, structure, and superstructure. Infrastructure is how people attend to their basic needs of survival and reproduction. Structure is how these strategies are managed at the level of the household and society (i.e. institutions and laws). Superstructure is the ideology that keeps the wheels of the other two levels going (i.e. the beliefs, values, art, etc.). For cultural materialists, the level of infrastructure is the most important determining factor in the form a society will take. A classic example is the protection of sacred cows in India. Although many of us might see these cows as a valuable food source, for the adaptive strategy of agriculture, cows are more useful for their labor in the fields. When the infrastructure changes (people adopted agriculture), the superstructure also changed (a new belief in the sacredness of cows) to facilitate practices that support the community's economic viability.

Psychology= the science of the mind or of mental states and processes Anthropology= the science of humans and their works OR the science that deals with the origins, physical and cultural development, biological characteristics, and social customs and beliefs of humankind.

The first known inhabitants of China were hominids who lived around 2 million years ago. The earliest modern humans in the region appeared around 40,000 years ago, with evidence of well-developed cultures and societies dating back to around 5000 BC.

Cultural diffusion refers to the spread of cultural beliefs, practices, customs, and ideas from one society to another. This can happen through various means such as trade, travel, migration, conquest, and mass media. As cultures come into contact with each other, they often exchange elements of their culture, leading to a blending and sharing of ideas.

Sociology in the Philippines has its roots in the late 19th century, with pioneers like Isabelo de los Reyes and Felipe Buencamino Sr. contributing to its development. Anthropology, on the other hand, gained prominence in the early 20th century with the works of Fay-Cooper Cole and H. Otley Beyer. Both disciplines have since flourished in the Philippines, with local scholars making significant contributions to the fields.

In some Australian Aboriginal cultures, avoiding eye contact with adults is a sign of respect and humility. It is seen as a way of showing deference to elders and recognizing their authority. By not making direct eye contact, children show that they understand their place in the social hierarchy.

Well, until the advent of indoor plumbing, or even outdoor "privys" at frontier homes, they 'used' the bathroom just like everybody else for millions of years had done...outside. Apart from some early attempts at public sanitation in ancient Rome and some other civilizations, we humans have 'done it in the woods' for millions of years, far longer than we've been doing it on porcelain toilets, and when you get right down to it, the percentage of the Earth's population that still 'does it in the woods' is greater than the 'porcelain pilots'...in other words, most people still dont have proper indoor sanitation.

Navigators use a Mercator projection chart to plot great circle routes. This chart allows them to draw a straight line, which represents the shortest distance between two points on a curved surface such as the Earth. By following this route, ships and planes can save time and fuel compared to following a rhumb line route.

Western medicine is a scientific based practice focused on the identification of symptoms to aid diagnosis. Eastern medicine, on the other hand, includes homeopathy, acupressure, reflexology, and other such practices.

The term "Homo sapiens" is derived from Latin, with "Homo" meaning human and "sapiens" meaning wise or intelligent. It was coined by the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century to classify modern humans.

While they were the first Mesoamerican culture to form small cities, most of the Olmec's were farmers and fisherman who lived in small villages. They would build their homes on top of mounds or platforms. The actual homes would be made of packed earth around a pole which held it up in the center. This would be not only their sleeping quarters, but also where they dined.

Granddaughter Try calling her by her name. Another view suggests that merely calling her by her given name has little to do with the kinship of the grandmother and the granddaughter. It looks like that somebody wanted to know who was related to whom.

Call her by her name, yes, but also recognize her relationship: relationship is, in this kinship system, not a function of names, but lineal associations, that is, blood lines, or better who was born by whom and who was the father supposed to be.

Your daughter's daughter is your granddaughter.
