How can you locate a person if you know their name and the state in which they live?

No, you can not. First and Middle names can be the same as the person living next door to you. I know two people named Jordan Noel, very uncommon names but they both are the same age, born on the same day - not same year though - and their last names are only a syllable off. You must have at least a first and last name to find them.

For food, the Yanomami eat most of what the jungle can offer, which is quite a wide variety of foods. They feast on all kinds off edible fare ranging from snakes, wild pigs, monkeys, deer, and jaguars to varieties of insects, larvae, fish, crabs, wild honey, plantain, sweet potato, and palm fruits. By world health standards, the Yanomami enjoy a high standard of living. Nevertheless the voracity of the Yanomami's hunting practices has in the past been highly exaggerated, taking into account that upwards of eighty to ninety percent of the food eaten by the Yanomami tribes is from their gardens. Of course the Yanomami have to hunt to survive but they are equally - if not more - committed to the cultivation of their gardens. It has been debated that the Yanomami actually lack protein in their diet because they eat so much more fruit and vegetables than meat produce. :)

Low protein in vegans is not a problem, there's plenty of protein in vegetables and fruit. The USDA RDA for protein is 50g/day where as the average vegan gets about 70 gm of protein per day. In actuality, only about 20g/day of protein is needed to maintain good health.

What kind of lifestyle did an sumerian civilization live?

The Sumerian civilization was a very advanced civilization. They loved pottery so much, they made lots of it! They also developed the earliest forms of writing known as cuneiform! they developed the oldest known law system made by Hammurabi. How cool? They loved astronomy, mathematics, and also science. They had a very accurate calendar. They had temples and very helpful tools. So I'm pretty sure that after all my "smarticle" sense of talking I would say that the Sumerians had a pretty sweet and cool life style! I wish I was a Sumerian.

Why is it important to have rainforests?

Why is the rainforest important?

1. Many rainforest trees are used to make medicines and food. 25% of all our medicine is made from rainforest materials. Without these, people would have to find other ways to produce the same product and it may make more people ill. Bananas and some nuts grow in the rainforest and they will be lost. Other materials like rubber and fibres are only found in the rainforest.

2. Many tribes and Amerindians live in the rainforest and without it they would lose their home and most of their culture.

3. Lots of animals and plants live in the rainforest and if they lose their home they may become extinct and die out. About half of the world animals live there and about two thirds of the earth's plants live there.

4. The trees in the rainforest absorb water and prevent many floods and erosion. They can also prevent drought.

5. The trees absorb carbon dioxide and without them, the temperature of the earth will go up and all the ice will melt. 18-25% of the earth's carbon dioxide is absorbed here.
