Anthropology question...?
356355
There are so many subfields of anthropology, that the number of possibilities is huge. Medical anthropology uses knowledge about other cultures to develope new treatments from traditional medicines, and help people from other cultures get the care they need in our medical system. Legal anthropology looks at the justice systems of different peoples and makes sure that minorities get a fair shot at justice. Business anth. helps businesses interact successfully in our global marketplace, by bringing cultural knowledge to advertising, communication and workplace issues involving foreign workers.\n\nThe list goes on and on including cultural anth, environmental anth. etc.\n\nHope this helps.

I asked this question recently myself. I have faith that they are out there, and we will see them someday. Some of the blood of these tribes probably got mixed with regular people. There is some evidence of this with Africans, particularly Ethiopia.

You may find the information listed below regarding a recent discovery of a female figure  interesting.  It suggests that women may have had a high rank within Mayan society.\n\nI hope this helps!\n\n-Tom

This is a difficult question to answer. There are fossil gaps, and gaps in our understanding of human evolution. But no one "missing link", especially one that we have a picture of. This is the fantasy of the media.

Very interesting indeed...  This may very well be another piece of the puzzle.\n\nAn earlier theory speculated , well before neanderthals existed, was the ability to walk upright was an anatomical change that later facilitated cranial development.\n\nUpright ambulatory movement freed the hands to later craft tools, literally gave a different perspective of the world, etc.\n\nGenetically, proof of our connection to the great apes has been established by Hillier et al, Nature 2004.  Mind you, we didn't come FROM the apes, but share a common ancestor.  Peace.

have u ever heard about the lost tribe of israel? make the jewish guy a researcher in archelogy or ethnology or something like that; he will find, through a long journey, that this lost tribe has vanished in indonesia; he will meet a indonesian professor of ilterature, who will be a member of a secret association gathering last members of this lost tribe who practice some dance ritual each time they meet.\nthat's a good summary

Social Anthropology is the study of how people interact with each other in a social setting like neighborhoods, tribes, etc.\n\nAnthropology is needed to figure out what effects construction and other outside things like construction would cause on a group of people. (e.g.:What construction would do for a local farming community).\n\nIt plays a vital role - it asseses the impact that a community of people/animals, etc would have if a certain act is committed like a crime or construction, etc.

I am a social-cultural anthropologist and the debate between "nature vs. nurture" will always be a heated topic (well in the anthro circle lol)\n\nI believe, after studying both biology and anthropology, that there is no way to separate the development of a person's character from their environment nor can you separate the environment from a person's character.\n\nWhat we do will affect our environment, and what happens to our environment will affect us. Studies have shown, that indeed, our environment (which constitutes not just physical living quarters but our society also) has a physical affect on our bodies development.\n\n*I would like to add for the "environment only" people's responses that if indeed all that our character was based on environment alone, everyone within the same environment would have the same character. This is logically impossible. We are born with innate differences in character (innate being a very touchy word to use) that make us react differently to life. Such differences can be seen with children who have autism.*\n\nWe, of course, will continuously have an impact on our environment...so to answer your question in 1 sentence:\n\nWe can not develop the character we have without both innate physical traits or our environment present =)

Wow.  When you type in your homework questions, could you make it clear that it's a multiple choice ... and number the choices?  (The hardest part of answering these questions is figuring out what the darn question is.)\n\nFirst question:\n1. their ancestors had migrated from South America to the Galapagos Islands. \n\nSecond question:\n3. because of natural selection

I think you are going the right way about it already.\nEvery system you try will have flaws. Most sciences overlap into other sciences. Just look at Archaeology, anthropology and forensic science. Just these three can be intertwined. Just go simple else you will have a mammoth task and a diagram that will confuse you as much as those you show it to.\nI don't envy your task but would be interested to see the outcome.\nCOP OUT

I think you will find yourself limited to being an anthropologist/teaching it. There is not too much calling in the wider world for people that can talk about tribal rituals etc.\n\nField work consists of going and studying native tribes, researchong historical texts etc

MISSING LINKS: \n\nAll of the "missing links" on this page are examples of poor anthropology being used in an attempt to convince the public that God does not exist. Unfortunately, this rush to judgment is a consistent and erroneous theme of the evolutionary science community. The only thing missing from their studies was thorough research.\n\n• NEANDERTHAL MAN: When this prehistoric man was first discovered, only part of an arm was recovered. Yet, the scientific community fabricated an entire ancient society around an arm bone. Scientists have since found quite a few Neanderthals and after careful study have concluded that these ancestors were regular humans with bone disease, probably rickets.\n\n• PILTDOWN MAN: For more than 50 years we were led to believe that this ancient creature was another supposed ancestor of modern man. Two scientists eventually took a closer look and found out that Piltdown man was a fraud. This invented creature was a composite of the jawbone of an orangutan and the skull of a small child. The original "discoverers " had stained these bone fragments to gain recognition and promote the falsehood of evolution.\n\n• NEBRASKA MAN: One ancient tooth was discovered in Nebraska. Eager evolutionists built a whole\nimaginary society and lifestyle around this single tooth! When they found the rest of the skull some two years later, it was clear that the tooth belonged to a pig. For many years, evolutionists described Nebraska Man as a missing link.\n\n• JAVA MAN: This prehistoric man was found on the island of Java and was reported to be the missing link between man and ape. After serious study it was found that the two pieces of Java Man were from two different skulls from two different areas of the island. Both were from the same species, probably an Orangutan, but they were not the parts of a man. Recent human skulls have now been discovered in the same layer of rock.\n\n• PEKING MAN: This manlike creature was found in China during the early part of this century. No other scientists have directly observed this site and it has not actually been seen in more than 50 years. All of the examples of Peking Man were reported to have the back of their skulls smashed in, exactly matching the result when people of that region hunt for monkey brains. Also, modern human remains were found at the same site.\n\n• LUCY: Lucy is the latest find that has been almost universally accepted as mankind's ancestor.\nLucy is an Australopithecus, that is actually more like a monkey than man. When the bones were studied by spectrograph, they were found to match a chimpanzee, rather than a man. Lucy too, is a mosaic, with bones assembled from different locations.\n\n• LAETOLI FOOTPRINTS: These footprints were found in the same strata as the Lucy bones. Evolutionary scientists have said that Lucy-like animals made these, but a podiatrist concluded they are modern human footprints. It appears that Lucy is not an ancestor of modern man, but simply a monkey.\n\n• KENYA SKULL: Recently it was reported that scientists had discovered a fossil of a skull in Kenya that evolutionists claim has more human-like features than "Lucy." This means that evolutionary scientists must once again revise their theory of man's origin. Ken Ham, Executive Director of Answers in Genesis says that the newly discovered fossil - which he says is nothing more than the skull of a chimpanzee - only pokes more holes in the argument for evolution.\n\n• ARCHAEOPTERXY: Originally thought of as a transitional fossil between the reptiles and birds, it is now considered by most evolutionists to be a true bird. Also true birds have been found lower in the fossil record, making them older than Archaeopteryx.\n\nChinese paleontologist Xu Xing contends that Archaeopteryx is a combination of two fossils: one of the body and head of a birdlike creature and the other of the tail of a dinosaur. Xing says he has found anoth
