could have easily been a method for the Neolithic Maltese to keep track of their domesticated animals, or document the animals present on the island. This interpretation tries to look at the piece through its original intention, without making grandiose claims that have little base in actual evidence. Further, this could have just been a method of counting used by the people. Following this train of thought, we could just as easily conclude that the Neolithic peoples were mathematically advanced for

In chapter 1 of the book, the paleolithic era, neolithic era, as well as the importance of art, ceramics, megaliths, myth, and sacred sites in the development of cultures during those eras were discussed. One of the main ideas that show importance in the chapter is when the cave paintings of Chauvet were discussed. The level of realism, naturalism, and representations of animal appearances help show the complexity of the paintings in the cave. Another cave that was discussed was Lascaux and the piece

Cat existed in a mutually beneficial relationship with humans, even before Egypt, in Neolithic times. Evidence suggests cats were at least semi-domesticated through the study of their diet. However, cats lend to a natural and not artificial domestication. The size of a cat being smaller than wildcat lends to domestication. DNA has a great

In the early days, humans were inferior to nature. Trying to survive, early people stayed true to their simple ways, for thousands of years. Before the Agricultural, or Neolithic, Revolution, humans lived static stale lives. Without curiosity, they resorted to hunting and gathering, for they had not discovered domesticating animals, farming crops, and innovating tools. Day by day, the early people's profession was finding food. Scholars wrestle over the importance of this revolution. While evidence

Haplogroup I represents the largest and oldest haplogroup throughout Europe with few exceptions. The origins of haplogroup I are thought to begin with haplogroup IJ — from the Middle East as far back as 40,000 years ago. The mutation of Haplogroup I occurred some 25,000 years after the formation of haplogroup IJ. I includes Cro-Magnons who were also thought to belong to IJ. In short, some 40,000-30,000 years ago, the central ancestors from haplogroup IJ migrated to what is now Scandinavia and Finland

Throughout written history, vast changes in social, political, and economic establishments have been sparked by extraordinary people or conditions. Often, these changes mark a turning point in the progress of civilization as new ideas are formed, new governments raised, or new discoveries put to use in the interest of progress. Whether these pivotal moments in history may be due to a single nonconforming person or a vast,radical multitude, each turning point has certain specific influences and outcomes

Interior Housing-Side Rooms By examining the use of side rooms, in houses located at Çatal Höyük, normal day to day life of a Neolithic village can be witnessed along with the use of an egalitarian social order. Side rooms are rooms connected to the central area of the house, usually smaller and in varying numbers. As Hodder explains, the smaller rooms are used for a variety of tasks that include stockpiling of resources, preparing of food, and other stay-at-home affairs (2006: 110). The stockpiling

Belsen, its history, and its landscape cannot be separated. “Notwithstanding the daintiness of this pinkish mauve groundcover, this is a topography as stripped to its bare bones as the bodies in the mass graves that rise out of the flat earth like Neolithic barrows.” Wheatley provides a detailed description of her first impressions of the camp, and in the above quote juxtaposes the image of dainty pink plants with the image of mass graves shaping the formation of the land. Through this juxtaposition

Introduction In the Chinese Art Collection at the Freer Gallery of Art, there is ritual basin (pan) with dragon, fish, tiger, and bird motifs from the Shang dynasty dated around 1300-1200 BC. This bronze basin is 4^(7/8)inches high by 〖12〗^(3/4)inches wide (Gettens Vol 1. 34). The body of the basin is decorated by a single large dragon coiled completely around the vessel with the head in the center. Small dragons fill the remaining open spaces in the body of the basin. On the inner edge of the basin
