Human evolution Human evolution is the evolutionary process leading up to the appearance of modern humans. While it began with the last common ancestor of all life, the topic usually covers only the evolutionary history of primates, in particular the genus Homo, and the emergence of Homo sapiens as a distinct species of hominids (or "great apes"). The study of human evolution involves many scientific disciplines, including physical anthropology, primatology, archaeology, ethology, linguistics, evolutionary psychology, embryology and genetics.[1] The earliest documented members of the genus Homo are Homo habilis which evolved around 2.3 million years ago; the earliest species for which there is positive evidence of use of stone tools. History of study[edit] Before Darwin[edit] Darwin[edit] The first debates about the nature of human evolution arose between Thomas Huxley and Richard Owen. First fossils[edit] A major problem at that time was the lack of fossil intermediaries. The East African fossils[edit]

Chilam Balam: Introduction Sacred Texts Native American Maya Index Previous Next p. 3 The Books of Chilam Balam are the sacred books of the Maya of Yucatan and were named after their last and greatest prophet. Chilam, or chilan, was his title which means that he was the mouth-piece or interpreter of the gods. Balam means jaguar, but it is also a common family name in Yucatan, so the title of the present work could well be translated as the Book of the Prophet Balam. During a large part of the colonial period, and even down into the Nineteenth Century, many of the towns and villages of northern Yucatan possessed Books of Chilam Balam, and this designation was supplemented by the name of the town to which the book belonged. This Prophet Balam lived during the last decades of the Fifteenth Century and probably the first of the Sixteenth Century 1 and foretold the coming of strangers from the east who would establish a new religion. p. 4 p. 5 professions. p. 6 p. 7 p. 8 p. 9 p. 10 p. 11 p. 12 p. 13 M = Book of Chilam of Mani.

businessinsider Witchcraft in Tudor and Stuart Essex [From Mary Douglas (ed.), Witchcraft, Confessions and Accusations (Tavistock, London, 1970)] Alan Macfarlane Witchcraft in Tudor and Stuart Essex (1) p.81 This paper will assume a knowledge of the historical background to witchcraft prosecutions in sixteenth- and seventeenth- century . There are many topics that, like witchcraft, need serious investigation by the historian of pre-industrial equipped with contemporary anthropological ideas. In the year 1593 a literary character was made to say- concerning witches: 'I heare of much harme done by them: they lame men and kill their cattle, yea they destroy both men and children. The first object of this paper will be to see how far the assertion that there was 'scarce any towne or village' without its witch was true. Court records, principally those of the Assize and ecclesiastical courts, provide the bulk of the actual prosecutions for witchcraft in Essex. Yet even these numbers seriously underestimate the amount of interest in witchcraft. 1.

Civil Rights Movement - Black History The civil rights movement was a struggle for social justice that took place mainly during the 1950s and 1960s for blacks to gain equal rights under the law in the United States. The Civil War had officially abolished slavery, but it didn’t end discrimination against blacks—they continued to endure the devastating effects of racism, especially in the South. By the mid-20th century, African Americans had had more than enough of prejudice and violence against them. They, along with many whites, mobilized and began an unprecedented fight for equality that spanned two decades. Jim Crow Laws During Reconstruction, blacks took on leadership roles like never before. In 1868, the 14th Amendment to the Constitution gave blacks equal protection under the law. To marginalize blacks, keep them separate from whites and erase the progress they’d made during Reconstruction, “Jim Crow” laws were established in the South beginning in the late 19th century.
