Anthropology

The reasons for the extinction of australopithecines are not definitively known. Factors such as environmental changes, competition from other hominid species, and potential diseases or natural disasters could have played a role in their extinction. It is likely a combination of these factors that led to their eventual disappearance.

Robert Baker studied food science and culinary arts. He was an American agricultural scientist known for his research on poultry, particularly in developing the chicken nugget.

From an anthropological viewpoint there exists only one human/humanoid race currently habitating earth, homo sapiens sapiens, "the human race" (since the neanderthals -homo sapiens neanderthalis - died out anyway). Race has everything to do with bone structure. Often bone structure is key in distinquishing the race, species, etc. of various hominid remains. Often the term race is mistakenly used in place of ethnicity. Whether bone structure is determined by ones ethnicity is an entirely different question. Yes ethnic groups do generally share many superficial/physical characteristics (thats what makes them "groupable") such as similar bone structure, skin tone....

Ra is worshipped by modern Kemetic Pagans, individuals practicing Kemeticism, and some followers of the Ancient Egyptian religion reconstructionism. He is considered the sun god and one of the most important deities in the Ancient Egyptian pantheon.

A huge staple of the diet of early Africans was millet. A type of flat bread was made with the grain. In addition to the millet, small game animals were hunted, and local vegetation was also consumed.

Russians wear clothing almost identical to that worn in most western countries. Winter clothing, due to necessity, is likely to be heavily padded or quilted and may be fur lined. Possibly the most distinctively Russian item of clothing might be the fur hat or "Shapka".

The people native to Australia are known as Aborigines

I believe that it is homo erectus because they were the first to move out of africa. The Australopithecus's were confined to africa, even if you count Robustus. Homo habilis were contemporaries with erectus during the early erectus years, so they too were stuck in africa.

Fish hooks were first invented by Cro-Magnons, earliest farners and, I dare to say, most civilized homo spaiens sapiens, not counted by comparing us, modern humans. The first hooks were made of bone, which worked OK but not so well, and then ivory for hooks were made. Much later, they were improved by modern humans, using metal and who-knows-what-else.

Anthropology recognizes various forms of marriage, including monogamy (one spouse), polygamy (multiple spouses), polyandry (one female with multiple males), and polygyny (one male with multiple females). These different forms reflect the diversity of marital arrangements across societies and cultures.

IQ scores are a measure of an individual's cognitive ability compared to others in their age group. The average IQ score is set at 100, with scores above or below indicating higher or lower intelligence levels, respectively. IQ tests typically measure various aspects of cognitive functioning, such as problem-solving, reasoning, and memory.

Explicit culture refers to the visible elements of a culture, such as language, clothing, food, rituals, and art. It is readily apparent and easily observed by outsiders. Explicit culture helps to define a group's identity and can be a key way for people to express their cultural values and beliefs.

Facial hair in humans is believed to serve various purposes, such as protection from the sun, cold weather, and injury. It can also play a role in sexual attraction and signaling dominance among males. Additionally, facial hair is thought to have evolved as a secondary sexual characteristic during human evolution.

People have lived in houses from ancient times on. If there was not shelter available for them and their animals, such as a cave, they made one with the materials that were available--such as mud, wood, stone and so on.

If you're referring to the period of Nazism, it means that they had to be non-Jewish Caucasians. Hitler preferred his Aryans to be tall, slender, and muscular. However, the main emphasis for Aryans was placed on ancestry. For one to be considered an Aryan, they had to have several generations of German ancestors.

It means that you're IQ is higher than the average. The average is between 90 and 110, but some people average that out to 100. It simply means that your "logic capacity" or "Intelligence system" is slightly higher than most people, based on a general scale.

Minor variations over time due to geographic location.

But, what we have termed as race does not have any real biological meaning.

"... if one were to walk up beside the Nile from Cairo, across the Tropic of Cancer to Khartoum in the Sudan and on to Nairobi, there would be no visible boundary between one people and another. The same thing would be true if one were to walk north from Cairo, through the Caucasus, and on up into Russia, eventually swinging west across the northern end of the Baltic Sea to Scandinavia..."

for me anthropolgy draws knowledge and methods from any discipline that can help understand humanness

the study of culture through the interpretation of the meaning of the symbols,values and beliefs odf a society.this school of though focuses on the symbolic rather then the material aspect of the culture.

The Australopithecus boisei people are thought to have lived in Eastern Africa millions of years ago. The fossil found from this species was found in Tanzania.

The fission theory is a scientific explanation for the formation of the Moon. It suggests that the Moon was once part of the Earth and broke off due to a massive impact with another celestial body, leading to its formation. This theory is supported by evidence such as the similarities in composition between the Earth and Moon.

I suspect that the answers will differ depending on the source you use. Here is one source to consider: Anthropology as a whole is classically divided into 4 fields. These are: -Physical Anthropology -Archaeology -Linguistics -Cultural (or Social) Anthropology. Sub-specialties for Cultural Anthropology include the following: 1. Ethnomusicology 2. Foklore and Folkart 3. Linguistics (Yes, I know, it is also seen as a branch of Anthropology, but you really can't fully separate linguistics from cultural anthropology). 4. Ethnography and Ethnology. The first is descriptive of a culture. The second is comparative between cultures. 5. Applied anthropology. This is where anthropology leaves the academia. Applying principles to real situations. 6. Educational anthropology (How do people learn. Is it affected by culture?) 7. Social Anthropology (including kinship and social structure) 8. Psychological Anthropology These are the subsets in Practical Missions Anthrolopology. It is entirely possible that other courses of study in Cultural Anthropology my group things different. That may be the reason that some others have posed questions on this sight regarding the three or the five sub-fields of CA. Hopefully someone with more background in secular CA may be able to give insight in a different breakdown.

In anthropology, diffusion refers to the spread of cultural elements, such as customs, ideas, or technologies, from one society to another through contact and interaction. It is a process through which cultural traits are transferred and adopted by other groups over time.
