Would you have disappeared from the original universe?<br /><br />I really like this question!! So, after pondering this idea, I think essentially you and the parallel universe version of you would switch places. One theory about parallel universes basically says that for every decision made a parallel universe splits off making the opposite choice; so there is...

Why do scientists constantly search for evidence that we all came from one (maybe African) seed? If I may be so bold, my observations have led me to conclude that if there are many kinds of cats which have many kinds of shapes, sizes, and colors, why i<br /><br />It is hard to believe, but all cats originally came from one species. Cats evolved about 200 mya from dinosaurs. When a species migrates, it develops new characteristics to help adaption and ensure evolutionary survival. When a species migrates, not every member leaves. So, once upon time there...

Altruism is a mystery in anthropology. Most of the time there is a biological or evolutionary explantion for every action an animal performs; however, an altruistic act has no evolutionary benefit, so why do it?

One finds what he is looking for, be it: beauty one sees beauty Love one finds love Sin he will see sin Corruption one will be corrupted.<br /><br />On a scientific level, I would say that like attracts like, but on another level, I think that human will is a very powerful thing, and if one wants to find beauty one will find it come hell or high water, etc...

Are we in a dreamworld?<br /><br />Can we really prove without a doubt that we aren&#039;t each living in a &quot;dream&quot; reality? One of my favorite quotes was said by Descartes, &quot;I think, therefore I am&quot;. To me this means that everything else may be false, but I know I have a consciousness because I can think, so I...

Do I tip them like I would if I got my hair cut?<br /><br />I tip twenty percent at least. I&#039;ve been a busser and hostess and server and bartender lol, and I just always assumed to tip like I would tip a server...idk. So, my pup&#039;s haircut costs about $52 and I normally just leave $65 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 12:53:10 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7940385 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7940270 Black patent leather ballet flats....ok for winter or a fashion faux pax?<br /><br />I personally love all my flats and try to wear a pair whenever I can because they are sooo comfortable.

It is trying to treat them as whole truths that plays the devil." - Alfred North Whitehead. Do you think this identifies what's wrong with ideologues and cranks?.<br /><br />I once took a philosophy course on ethics and the meaning of life. What I took away from the course is that no one should be sure of anything. If everyone possessed a sliver of doubt, world peace might be attainable.

What are your thoughts on this proverb?<br /><br />Absolutely in agreement! Add a little hunger, and everything will taste good!

For instance, where environmental factors cause a natural disaster and that natural disaster causes another?<br /><br />Absolutely!! Sometimes that&#039;s the main problem with natural disasters! For example, an earthquake might produce a landslide or tsunami or wildfire. Or a landslide could fall into the ocean and then create a tidal wave. Or a wildfire burns all ground cover, so landslides can occur... There is...

How did you typically answer the question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" And how would you answer today?<br /><br />When I was a child, I wanted to be an astrophysicist (I lived by a famous observatory). That was before I truly found out how good at math you have to be in order to accomplish that goal. Now I am in school to still be a scientist, but one that does not use as much math...anthropology :) Fri, 25 Sep 2009 07:31:07 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7826163 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7826126 What transends time and space<br /><br />Gravity?

Do you like M-theory?<br /><br />It stands for Membrane. The reason is the thought that each universe is thought to be on a membrane which might be on another, bigger membrane. There might be millions of parallel dimensions all around us. If I point to a spot on your shirt, I very well could be pointing to another dimension. I...

I think there are millions of other dimensions existing in our same space-time and our universe, though. In another dimension a dinosaur might be...

Luckily for scientists, embedded within the rock are tons of remains from plants and animals. By analyzing the data found in the rock and comparing it to what is already know about...

Lingistics? grammar? or Glottochronology?<br /><br />I would say Linguistics. Linguistics studies how sounds are formed and the base of language. Anthropology recently added Linguistics as a sub-category. When I took a linguistic anthro class, we discussed how culture and language are related not just within a culture but cross-culturally as well.

I have been thinking about &quot;world peace&quot; a lot lately, and I think the problem with attaining it, is that everyone&#039;s interpretation of the purpose of life is different. It may be difficult to understand and...

Even most ideas that are taken to be &quot;fact&quot;, such as the theory of relativity or something, are merely theories. First one has a hypothesis, then one does research to see if the hypothesis is correct or if it needs to be revised. Then...

But comparison in a non-judgmental way. By definition, anthropology is the study of the origins of humankind. The only way to understand the role and origins or humankind is to compare...

When I read your question, I thought of that possibility :) Tue, 30 Jun 2009 08:31:09 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6962730 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6962682 Here's your chance- If you could fix our world, what would you do?<br /><br />I would make everyone have doubt in their beliefs.

I think that thoughts create reality, therefore we are in control of our lives in a totalistic way. If the thought that reality is created by the mind were introduced into the educational system, there was probably be many...

In the winter, I dress her in sweaters and jackets, depending on the weather and the length of her hair. I grew up in the country, where foo foo dogs didn&#039;t exist.

I normally take her to get groomed every two months and she gets a bath, hair cut, sanitary cleaning, brushed and her nails clipped. It costs about $45 and then I tip at least $10.

It took a couple months for her adult hair to come in, so half of her would have puppy hair and half would have her adult hair. Her hair completely changed color and texture in the process.

Your comment please!<br /><br />What makes your life worth less than the person or people you may be &quot;warning&quot;? For example, two boys who like to drive recklessly are in a car and get into an accident, but only one survives. Is the boy who died a warning to others to not drive recklessly? Why did boy X die and boy Y...

I think that people who don&#039;t have much freedom can tend to be &quot;naughtier&quot; in some ways.

I'm not trying to be difficult, I'm trying to understand how my sister died.<br /><br />I think this is a good question and I&#039;m definitely not an expert. I&#039;m not sure if &quot;symptom-wise&quot; the two are different. I think that a &quot;lethal combination of drugs&quot; implies that the drugs aren&#039;t necessarily illegal. For example, I think Heath Ledger (only...

Was it a set-up or did you know the person? Did you have any more dates with that person?<br /><br />I have known this guy for years. Strangely, he used to date my best friend and I used to date his. So I picked up this guy (at 6) at his house to go a few miles away to a house party (I lived about an hour away). We were there until about 11, when we decided to leave. The guy I was with was so...

Even atoms are aware of other atoms, in which case they are also aware of themselves. We, obviously, also are aware of ourselves and each other.

I use a lot of lube, but then it starts it burn. Or we go really slow, or finish fast. Oral helps to relax me and not make the area so sensitive, or I guess anal sex is always an option...

(I hear that you can see music)<br /><br />If you are with the right people and in the right atmosphere and go into it with the right attitude, mushrooms can be a lot of fun. However, one little thing can turn your whole trip into a nightmare, and that is never fun. I am a different person since doing hallucinogens, and I don&#039;t know...

Anthropologically, I think sexual dimorphism is a big indicator in whether a species mates with various partners or sticks to one partner.

For example, primates supposedly have super efficient parenting strategies (despite the length of dependency of their young). Both parents and other group members...

If this is true, then are laws only there to give us the illusion of safety?<br /><br />Laws are based on the compliance of everyone in the community, and I think that is what is so tedious about them. We ascribe value to everything; for example, money is just paper, and the value we place on each piece of paper is then dependent on what number is printed on the bill ($1, $5,...
