Anthropology 201 Guidelines

Anthropology is the study of groups of people, their beliefs, practices, values, ideas, technologies, languages, economies and more.

All are welcome to post in this section, even Geico Cavemen.

A couple of caveats-- (1) racism has no place in this forum, and (2) please show a little discretion. In other words, if an attachment violates policy on the rest of TWEB, it violates policy in this forum as well, even if it depicts a highly interesting and unique aspect of some obscure culture. Keep it reasonably clean, folks.

      The next step is to plant this gene into various types of apes and see what happens. What could possibly go wrong?

          This newer finding seems to dispel an earlier theory as to why humans have the bigger brain.

          He drew a direct connection between the power of our jaw muscle and the evolution of the human brain. . . .

            Or perhaps we benefited from the combination of the two.

              Most likely so. There is really no presented evidence one instruction set caused the other instruction set.
