1 5 Million Homo Erectus
1,480 wordsGlynn Isaac Defines "the Homebase Hypothesis" It has been argued since Darwin's day that the great apes were man's nearest living relatives, and as evidence emerged during the late 1960 's of the hunting propensities and simple tool use of chimpanzees (Goodall 1986), anthropologists found more and more reason to presume similarity of behavior between modern (e. g. , Pan troglodytes or Pan panics) and ancient varieties of hominids (Tanner 1981). Still, modern humans are not chimps. Substantial di...

Bitter Taste Pain Worth Girl
719 wordsThe greatest basketball player of all time was once asked what made him so successful. Michael Jordan then replied .".. I fail, therefore I succeed." This theory not only applies to those who fly, but also to mortals. When one fails the bitter taste lingers forever, whereas, when one succeeds the sweetness makes all pain worth while. Sports are life, and in West Texas sometimes more than that. In all my life I have always been on the starting team, no matter what team it was. The reason for this...

Steer Away Boyfriends Examine His Past Guy
1,112 wordsThese days it is hard to find a good boyfriend. Guys are like parking spaces. The good ones are taken and the rest are handicapped. I have never really had any luck with finding an all around good guy. I guess maybe it was because of the way I went about finding a boyfriend. I tend to look for the good-looking guys, but I never really get to know them before I decide to date them. My past experiences with some of my ex-boyfriends has inspired me to go about a whole different approach while looki...

Dated A White First Time One
767 wordsThrough my life I have usually been on the receiving end of racist comments, such as wetback fieldworker etc. In seventh grade I had to go to a public school because of moving reasons and that is where the comments started.

Pledge Of Allegiance Separation Of Church And State

But stop and think for a second, why are we required to start each school day by reci...

Oxford Oxford University Red Figure
1,124 words... Based on a continuum of stylistic development, this kylix dates between 510 - 500 BC. In an early red-figure vase dated to 520 BC, a scene depicts Heracles in battle. The hero lunges toward an unseen opponent, his arm outstretched. The artist has painted patterned drapery, as Heracles' clothing appears to be drawn on him rather than over him. His hair and beard are not textured, but rather a solid color layered by shading. A thin curved line is drawn to convey a mustache. His lion skin is va...

Irish Bagpipes Brian Boru Pipe
1,568 wordsIrish Bagpipes (Brian Boru pipe) The bagpipes have been a huge part of Irish music for many years. Today the bagpipe is synonymous with Scotland, but the pipes really came from Ireland. The earliest bag pipes date back to 4000 B. C. in the Middle East, where a bagpipe is found in Chaldean sculptures. This evidence shows it is ancient, certainly as old as the harp and nearly as old as the drum. Greeks, Egyptians and Romans all marched to the sound of the pipes to battle. As for Ireland, a seventh...

People With Disabilities Amanda And Laura
549 wordsnot specifically dated. What I mean by this, is even though the play was written in the forties, today we (people in general), can still relate to some of the issues in it. Like take for example the disability issue. Laura was so self conscious of her disability, but in reality, people did not really even notice. This is how society in general treats people with disabilities today - the same as everyone else. I also liked the development of Laura's character over the course of the plot. At first...

Venus And Adonis Shakespeare Plays
743 wordsYet, as viewed by many scholars who questioned Wells and Taylors document, a lot of obstacles also exist to accepting Oxford as Shakespeare. The most formidable is the fact that Oxford died in June 1604 while Shakespeare continued to write plays probably until 1613 - 14. According to most mainstream chronologies, as many as ten plays (as well as the Sonnets) first appeared after 1604. Oxfords supporters claim that no new play appeared between 1604 and 1608, and that no contemporary reference in ...

Millions Of Years Fossil Record
966 wordsAfter debating all of the presented theories I have come to two realizations about creation and the theories relating to it. My first realization was that I find the framework theory the most likely of all the theories because it was the theory with the least holes in it. My second realization was that if all of us agreed on the main points of Genesis (God created the earth, all things are special to Him, He is sovereign over all things, ect) then it really does not make a difference how it was ...
