Early Human Evolution Research Paper
Throughout history, historians and archeologists uncovered many fascinating discoveries. Two
significant findings were the Clovis and Folsom discoveries. The early humans left behind clues for
archaeologists to understand a part of their life. There were a few written records, so archaeologists
focused primarily on artifacts to find out information about the past. In order to find out more about
the past, archaeologists looked to the Folsom discoveries to help recognize early human origin,
migration, and culture. In Folsom, New Mexico, a world famous archaeological site, archaeologists
has made revolutionary discoveries, providing information on human migration and history. The
early humans, Homo erectus, originated from Africa. Around 400,000 ... Show more content on

North American is filled with a vast variety of different environments. Due to the diversity of the
environments, cultures of the Native Americans were diverse as well. Many cultural beliefs of the
Native Americans in North America had survived for many generations and continues even today.
"More than three hundred major tribes and hundred of lesser groups inhabited North America alone"
(8). A tribe that roamed the Great Plains was known as the Indians of the Great Plains.The group of
Indians was widely known for its nomadic life as the group followed the bisons as bisons migrated
through the Great Plains. The Great Plains hunters originally used spears like their fellow ancestors,
the Paleo–Indians. However, the spears were replaced by the bow and arrows. Most of Great Plains
Indian's clothing and tools were made out of bisons skin. Along the Pacific coast, five hundred tribes
reside in California alone. One tribe settled along the Pacific coast was the Chumash. The Chumash

The Pros And Cons Of Gnosticism
The Gnostic view is one of the issues that have been debated among Christian and nonchristian
scholars. This is because a different school of thought has risen in the past concerning Gnostic
teachings and the negative effects it poses to the gospel truth.
Many who oppose gnostic teachings tend to tag them as heretic movement while gnostic teachers
believe that their teaching is base on cosmetic facts.
There are many scholars in the past that have oppose gnostic views because they see it as an
obstacle in preaching the gospel. One of the early scholars that oppose gnostic ideas is Ireanus. He
believes that despite the writings of the early Church Fathers, most of whom were fanatics with an
axe to grind theology see gnostic belief as an enemy of the true gospel. Ireanus used the term
'herectic ' which was not universally used by early church fathers. This is because gnostics
themselves were comprised of diverse groups which did not have a uniform set of beliefs because of
their diversity. Because of their diversity and lack of having a define theory on some of their views,
one is posed with the difficult task of identifying the main aim of the movement.
Furthermore, the research intends to discuss or define the term Gnosticism, it will also look at its
origin and how it relates to Christianity.

Iconography of the Good Shepherd: A Formal Analysis
This paper will analyze the iconography of the mosaic, Good Shepherd (lunette, Oratory of Galla
Placidia, c. 425–26, Ravenna, Italy), that is located on the lunette over the north doorway of the
Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, Ravenna. The iconography has been one of the most recognized and
admired works of art since the 3rd century AD. In the mosaic, the artists present a depiction of
Christ symbolic and traditional of Byzantine art during the conversion of Christianity in Roman
provinces.
Shortly after Rome made the transition from pagan practices to embracing Christianity as their
formal faith, Christ's depiction in art went through various restorations. Some of the most widely
popular illustrations were that of Christ sacrificed on the cross to his ultimate ascension into the
Kingdom of Heaven after overcoming death. Since the image portrays Christ in luxurious attire
resembling the Roman toga, the viewer can perceive that the mosaic was meant to present Christ in
an imperialistic fashion. This is perhaps directed in part to the Byzantine emperors preferring to
worship Christ in a way traditional and symbolic of their historical and early customs rather than
how he really looked.
When tracing the past history of the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, we learn that Galla Placidia was
half sister to Emperor Flavius Honorius Augustus. The mausoleum was believed to have been
named after Placidia. Before her death in 450, it was

The Book Of Acts By The Bible
The Book of Acts is a book about the beginning of the first Christians and the growth of the Church.
Acts explains how Christianity began and also spread about. It explains how Jesus used some of the
apostles to teach through the Holy Spirit after ascending into Heaven. The writer of the Book of
Acts is the apostle Luke, who gives us insight into the different things the disciples, mainly Peter
and Paul, had went through during this time. Luke describes these instances but rarely indicates how
Christians today should respond. What would Christianity look like today if only the Book of Acts
was written in the New Testament?
The Early Church started with Peter, who told the people to repent and be baptized, only then would
they receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. After 3,000 were baptized, the very first Church was started.
The early Church had a focus on the Bible and it's teachings, the stories the apostles shared,
breaking the bread, meal sharing, prayer, and fellowship. Today, Christians might only continue to
share stories that the apostles shared, be baptized, pray, and get to know members of their Church if
this was the only book written in the New Testament. Peter "gives Jesus" to people in need in the
Book of Acts, and this is a difference in what we don't see sometimes practiced in Churches today.

The Columbian Exchange
The Columbian Exchange The Columbian Exchange is non–fiction book written by Alfred W.
Crosby JR. It illustrates the important events that transpired when Columbus came to America in
1492. I initially chose this this book because I wanted to know more about Europe's effects on
America, and how Columbus altered the flora and fauna of America for better and for worse. As I
started to read further into the book I immediately was captivated by all the information that was
hidden within the text. The book started out by contrasting the Columbian Exchange to the early
human migrations and early land bridges. I believe this is especially important because, it gave e a
better understanding of how early humans developed a pattern and a need to explore new lands. This
quote states, "The connection between the Old and New Worlds, which for more than ten millennia
had been no more than a tenuous thing of Viking voyages, drifting fishermen, and shadowy contacts
via Polynesia, became on the twelfth day of October 1492 a bond as significant as the Bering land
bridge had once been"(Crosby 3). This is a particularly important sentence in the book because it
gave me a tie between mankind's migrations throughout the earth. The Bering land bridge was used
as a rout for human migrations from Asia to the Americas about 20,000 years ago. Knowing this
gave me a sense of what the book was about. When Columbus came to America one of the big

research. As it was the case for Bart D. Ehrman. Ehram a less devout episcopal Christian who
converted to evangelical Christianity, in an essence, re–embraced the religion at a young age and
started studying Christianity. His education started off at Moody Bible Institute and the Wheaton
College and later received his PhD in New Testament studies. During his studies, Ehram developed
a particular interest about infallibility and inerrancy of the Christian scripture. In a quest of finding
answers for his questions about Scripture he wrote a book Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who
Changed the Bible and Why. The main thesis of the book reads "The book is about ancient
manuscripts of the New Testament and the differences found in them, about scribes who copied
scripture and sometimes changed it. This may not seem to be very promising as a key to one's own
autobiography, but there it is. One has little control over such things" . The book is a very readable,
accurate condensation of many of the most important facts about the nature and history of textual
criticism. A critical review of the book demonstrates that Ehram almost absolutely proves the thesis

Feminists argue that women have had to struggle to overcome the patriarchally structured churches.
While scholars in ecclesiastical history and related fields have undoubtedly been influenced by the
huge developments in both women's history and gender history in the larger arena of historical
scholarship, they have also been influenced by the questions raised by feminist theologians about
the viability of women remaining within the Churches and the outworking of Christian doctrine in
the women's lives.
"Origins have therefore become important to some feminist scholars, especially those of faith, in a
rather distinctive way, as they have sought to bring to light–and , in some cases, discover–evidence
for the ways in which the Christian tradition has in at least some of its roots an equal place for
women" (Shaw, 2004). The place of women–and, indeed, men–in the early Churches is a historical
subject which is seen to have relevance to individuals and the Churches today: while Churches are
still debating the validity of the ordination of women, and even the extent to which laywomen can
participate in the worship and ministry of the Church, it is not possible to shy away from this.
One of the great strengths of feminist scholarship has been to show that no scholar works from a

Neanderthal and Early Modern Humans Essay
Neanderthal and Early Modern Humans
The history of life on earth goes back to millions of years. Many species and creatures evolved and
changed through time, leading up to what we know today as, modern man. One of the creatures
most similar to modern man is the Neanderthals; they are sometimes referred to as "early modern
humans."
An article entitled "Early man steered clear of Neanderthal romance" by Michael Hopkin, explains
that there was a discovery that early human ancestors of modern man did not breed with their
"cousins," the Neanderthals, according to DNA that has been studied. "Neanderthals vanished from
Europe between 30,000 and 40,000 years ago, roughly the time that truly modern man made his first
appearance in ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
There were 24 Neanderthal remains and 40 early modern human remains that were studied. The
bimolecular preservation of DNA of five early humans and four Neanderthals was helpful enough
for the preservation.
"All four Neanderthals yielded the mtDNA sequences similar to those previously determined from
Neanderthal individuals, whereas none of the five early modern humans contained such mtDNA
sequences. In combination with current mtDNA data, this excludes any large genetic contribution by
Neanderthals to early modern humans, but does not rule out the possibility of a smaller
contribution" (Serre, 16 March 2004).
Therefore, early modern humans and Neanderthals could have been around and breeding at the same
time, it is just a small chance.
Between 30,000 and 40,000 years ago, Neanderthals were gone from Europe (where these fossils
were found). Right around that time, the early modern humans were beginning to migrate to parts of
Europe. This brings up the point that it could be possible that Neanderthals and early modern
humans came eye to eye, but no one knows what the reactions and attitudes were like if that were
true. This is a question of the history of life, did they exist simultaneously, and did they interact?
"Despite intense research efforts, no consensus has been reached about the genetic relationship
between early modern humans and archaic human forms such as the Neanderthals" (Serre, 16 March

Throughout this book, Andrew B. McGowan thoroughly informs us on each cultural background

through this information that the way the Church worships has evolved into something completely
different from what it once was. In one form or another we are forced to appreciate how the early
Christians worshipped and, I would even assert, are challenged to bring these traditions into our own
mentality of worship. If we are to look to the New Testament and how worship is referred to, it is "a
great deal about ethos or a Christian way of life, but relatively little about the specifics of distinctive
liturgical practice or performance." In chapter one of McGowan's book, we see a compare and
contrast given with how the early church worshiped more communally as opposed to how we
worship today; which is more aesthetic and internal. McGowan reiterates numerously that worship
in the New Testament is a subject of service, reverence and ethics. "They were not merely one
sacramental part of a community or worship life but the central act around or within which others–
reading and preaching, prayer and prophecy– were arranged." The New Testament was in the setting

Early History Of Human Overpopulation
Overpopulation of Humans
Within the early history of the human race, the earth was titanic and appeared boundless. Its
resources seemed limitless. Then as the humans traveled away from home, the world got smaller and

world and its natural resources looked as if it was shrinking. The overpopulation of an creature is

In biology, it states that when life is pleasurable and resources are abundant, life will begin to grow
exponentially until space and food become scarce. At that moment the population of whatever
creature will even out and remain stable. However, in nature, land and resources are limited, so all
forms of life are in a constantly competing for survival. Adaptability and evolution helps the lucky
certain creatures with new skills or traits that will aid them to become fit and reproduce. With the

The Major Developments of Early Human and Social Evolution
Describe the major developments of early human and social evolution. Throughout, discuss tool
manufacturing, language development, agriculture, social behavior, and population growth. The first
tools developed during the Paleolithic Era were made from chipped stones, wood and bone, and
"nets from plant fibers and animal sinew" (Holt, Rinehart, & Wilson, n.d.: 2). The Neolithic Era
brought forth greater specialization. People began to make chisels, drills, and saws to address
specific needs and also polished stones to create sharper and more defined points (Holt, Rinehart, &
Wilson, n.d.: 2). Language scholars trace the development of the first forms of systematized
language to this era: "The crucial evolutionary development that led to the burst in creativity in the
Neolithic was the emergence of human language as a method for integrating across cognitive
modules" (MacWhinney 2005: 383). During this era, the use of stones began to have a utilitarian
purpose in a manner that showed more sophisticated thinking. The most significant development
during the Neolithic Era was the development of agriculture. This occurred approximately 10,000
years ago in human history. Humans began to domesticate animals and engage in selective breeding.

This is because they are born with the same set of muscles and bones that they learn how to use –
the "nature" part of motor development. However, it is important to notice that the rate of learning
these motor skills differ due to the "nurture" side of development. For example, an infant that
practices walking with its parent may start walking on its own earlier than another infant that
received no help. Also, an infant that receives much visual and auditory stimulation, such as playing
with toys, develops its motor skills faster than an infant that received none.
While the baby continues to learn how to move around on its own, it also learns how to talk – an
extremely important skill. Speech development is also determined by both nature and nurture. All
babies that are born with no birth defects are equipped with physiological requirements for speech:
lungs, voice box, and mouth. They also need a properly working brain and nerves to control these
body parts and to mentally form sentences. These form the nature part of the speech development
because they are the things that the babies are born with. However, they could be useless if the baby

Mitochondrial DNA Mutations: The Early Stages Of Human Life
Today, there are many different kinds of mitochondrial DNA mutations. These mutations can vary in
severity, and the consequences that result from the mutation. But how did these mutations arise?
And how do they affect those afflicted with the mutation? In order to properly understand human
mitochondrial DNA mutations, we must begin with the early stages of human life. The history of
mitochondrial mutations stems back thousands of years, when humans first evolved in regions of
Africa. These early humans had properly functioning mitochondrial DNA, with accurately arranged
bases that were free of mutation. As humans continued to evolve, and populations grew, more DNA
was duplicated as humans and offspring developed. These mitochondrial DNA strands slowly
developed variations in base patterns, occasionally deleting a base entirely. Over time, these
mutations continued to transfer onto offspring, producing more opportunity for DNA to modify.

These mutations have a variety of affects, some severe, and some which are almost unrecognizable.
Severity is determined by the genes which are inherited through the mother's egg before birth. The

mother's egg contains both cells without mutations and cells with mitochondrial DNA mutations,
without her possessing any symptoms. This is because while the mutated gene is present, it is
greatly outnumbered by the amount of healthy cells with properly arranged mitochondrial DNA.

Human Potential Is A Concept That Was Introduced By Early...
Human potential is a concept that was introduced by early personality theorists many years ago, and
it implies that as humans, we have an innate tendency toward personal growth and development, and
under the right circumstances, this tendency will lead us to actualize our potential and become all
that we can be (Deci, Ryan, & Guay, 2013, p. 109). In other words, each and every person has their
own inner potential, and it just takes the right conditions to realize it. According to the self–
determination theory, full functioning involves "individuals having access to and using all of their
capacities for experience, connection, and proactivity" (Deci, Ryan & Guay, 2013, p. 110). The term
"full functioning" is used in this theory to refer to self–actualization. Full functioning is
characterized by being aware and mindful, pursuing and attaining intrinsic life goals, and obtaining
inner peace and quiet (Deci, Ryan, & Guay, 2013, p. 110). In order to reach a level of full
functioning, according to the self–determination theory, there are three basic psychological needs
that must be fulfilled in order to perform the behaviors that are related to full functioning. These
needs are universal and are essential for psychological well–being. They include competence,

Question 1: How and why did early humans migrate out of Africa and across the earth's varied
landscapes?
The Early human migration was an event that eventually led to all of the known world's current
human population and their various locations. Homo erectus (before Homo sapiens) began their
journey by migrating through both the Levantine corridor and the Horn of Africa all the way to
Eurasia during the Early Pleistocene. However, if we are to look at Homo sapiens and Neanderthals,
it is believed that they retreated back to Africa and did not proceed to go east across Asia until
approximately 75,000 years ago. They achieved this by wandering across the Bab el Mandib
connecting Ethiopia and Yemen. But, what caused them to make the journey across such vast lands?
Why bother making it at all? The answers to these questions can even be seen in the world of today.
War, Climate change, lack of food, and diseases are all reasons as to why the migration proceeded.
As soon as the risk of remaining in their current location exceeded the dangers of venturing to new
lands it was determined that moving on was the best option. This migration was begun through the
hopes of an ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Some of these methods include: common artifacts, fossils, religions, and even writings. A major play
in these factors for this acquired evidence existence was due to the simple fact that Homo sapiens
were able to produce their own language. This gave way to artifacts, such as carvings in rock or
primitive paintings on walls. However, a large factor in evidence has to do with the several amounts
of skulls that have been discovered throughout the many years that this particular investigation has
been occurring. These different types of evidence allow the scholars to create or estimate a visual

Early Human Evolution
Evolution is the idea that species change over time and have a common ancestor. Which means that
other species can evolve from the same animal or plant over a long period of time. Anthropology is
the study of humankind and some of the different aspects to see how we evolved.
The physical or biological anthropology is the evolution of humans their variability, and adaptations
to the environment. Physical anthropologist can examine or investigate evolution through our
genetic makeup. Anthropologist can compare bone structure, cranial capacity, and complexity of
tools. Through comparing bone structure forensic anthropologist can determine how tall early Homo

Since the finding of Lucy in 1974 the evolutionary tree has nearly doubled (1). Early evidence can
tell how well the humans adapted to their climate, differences in male and female body size, and
how adapted early human species were for walking upright. Early on people thought that there was
only a single line of human species. After further research, the other early human species died out
and Homo sapiens are the sole surviving species.
Archaeology can help understand evolution by the artifacts found near areas inhabited by Homo.
The tools and sediments found inside caves can give anthropologist a better timeline for what their
level of intellectual ability. Tools can tell a significant amount about their social lifestyle. Finding
places were a campfire was burned over a period of time means that they most likely cooked and
even spent social time around the fire.
Further evidence suggest the cooking of when anthropologist found fragments of bones mixed with
ash. The ability to manipulate fire let them live in cave dwellings and on the ground instead of in
trees. The safety of fire allowed them to sleep on the ground not having to fear predators, which
would otherwise hunt them during the night. Over time the tree dwelling traits of larger shoulders

The Early Development Of Human Consciousness
The early development of human consciousness seems to have given humans a genetic
predisposition to the belief in religion. During this early development many chemicals known as
entheogens were used during religious sacraments and ceremonies, especially during times when
religion was undergoing critical stages of development. Once early humans could communicate
concepts effectively they utilized experiences derived from such substances in the integration of
theological belief systems.
Describing psychoactive substances without using a word that has a negative connotation attached
to it can be difficult. In an effort to combat this problem, a committee under the chairmanship of
Carl Ruck described "after trying out a number of words he came up with entheogen, 'god generated
within', which his committee unanimously adopted" (Wasson 30). Psychoactive substances, or
entheogens, have been researched for years by scientists, however, research into their historical
significance is severely limited. The origin of religion cannot simply be looked at through the
perspective of entheogens, there are many factors associated with it which spread multiple fields.
Science, sociology, history, archeology, psychology, chemistry and botany all cross over when
researching this subject.
James McClenon has argued that the conceptions of religion have their origins in the evolution of
psychophysiological structures associated with hypnotizability. If one is susceptible to a hypnotic

In this paper, I will be writing a personal journal entry in response to the textbook, "Human
Sexuality in a World of Diversity (9th ed.)" written by Spencer Rathus, Jeffery Nevid, and Lois
Fichner–Rathus (2014). They write about genital play in children and that sexual curiosity can
develop as early as one year. I agree that children have a natural curiosity about body parts, what
they do, and how they feel. I think it is appropriate for children to learn the correct body part

years old children can engage in genital play with other children, which could include genital

The negative factors against co–sleeping are that the parent could suffocate their child and there
could be adverse effects on sexual development. The positive factors for co–sleeping are easier for
child to get back to sleep if awakened in the night, easier breastfeeding throughout the night, and
possible better intellectual development. Although the AAP discourages co–sleeping, up to 20% of
mothers are given information from physician on co–sleeping (Rathus, Nevid, & Fichner–Rathus,
2014, pp. 375–376). I think that in the American culture it is often expected and taught to new
parents that a child should be left in the crib to cry themselves to sleep. Children are raised to be
able to sleep alone and independently, some even from the day of birth. I find it unnatural to have a

Nurture Strongly Influences Early Human Development
Roshan Akthar Jahir Hussain 200821027
Nurture strongly influences early human development
Introduction
While nature produces healthy, well–formed infants, nurture helps in developing them in the early
stages of their lives through practice and experience. It means that the early development of a
human is effective and faster by nurture than what comes out of nature. All children go through the
same sequences of growth and development in the same order right from their mother's womb, be it
the development of parts of the body and the development of organs, motor development after birth,
development of speech, etc.. Nature leads to ordinary development of a fetus into a human but it

can affect normal maturation of a fetus. So, it can be clearly noted from above that a fetus can be
completely organized and well–developed only when given quality nurturing.
Influence of genetics and environment on the motor development of a child after birth
All children go through the same sequence of motor behaviors in the same order but they go through
the sequence at different rates. It is because those children who are not given attention or taken good
of (nurtured) are seen to develop in a slower rate than those who are given quality nurture. Even if a
child is born physically challenged, he/she can be trained or given physiotherapy treatment to
improve him/her to at least take care of their own selves. This clearly illustrates that practice and
experience makes a child to learn things faster and in a much better way than those children who are
left unnoticed.
Genetic and environmental influence on a child's development of speech
All human infants learn to speak in the course of normal development, but not until they have
attained a certain level of neurological development. It is applicable for both, children who are given

Evolution Of Humans : Human Biology And Early Culture Essay
Evolution of Humans No one can be absolutely sure when the first humans actually walked the
Earth, only approximations can be made. Approximately 200,000 years ago species are developed in
Africa. Most human species and most human biology and early culture in its broadest sense
originated in Africa. Archaeologist and anthropologist may have been able to pinpoint exactly where
the early human species lived and approximately how long ago they lived but are their assumptions
correct? A huge part of history is based on assumption, there are many ways anthropologists and
archaeologist came to these assumptions. They looked at climate, tooth decay, physical bones, and
many other distinctions. These main three climate, tooth decay, and physical bones make the most
sense to me, because newer and more accurate evidence can be pulled from these three distinctions.
Looking at climate can be a huge part of when human evolution began. The climate during the last
6–7 million years when hominins evolved to modern humans was characterized by high variability.
Climate can show many things an example that could be found is a river from millions of years ago
that is now buried below land. This river can show hominins might have lived in that particular area,

There are many traits and behaviors which can be used to define as early humans, such as big brains,
language, and distinctive cultural or behavioral traits such as tool technology. One of the most
fundamental human characteristic which distinguish early hominins from other apes is bipedalism.
(Kottak) Walking upright on two legs is the trait that defines the hominin lineage. It took
paleoanthropologists a long time to realize that bipedalism is the key difference between human and
ape. They tended to believe large brains made hominins unique and it was a reasonable conclusion
at that time because the only available hominin fossils were Neanderthals and Homo Erectus.

The Importance Of Fruits From Early Human Civilization Essay
From the very beginning, humans were hunters and gatherers. They survived by hunting animals
and gathering fruits. Hence, the importance of fruits was from early human civilization. Apples, one
of such fruits with varying benefits, can be made into cider, wine, pie, jelly, brandy or sundried so
that the fruit does not decay because of overproduction. In year 2013, 80.8 million tonns of apple
was produced worldwide, out of which china alone produced 49%. Apple is one of the easily
preferable fruit, as it can be eaten straight away, unlike other fruits which needs to be peeled off. An
old proverb "An apple a day keeps a doctor away" might also have impacted in favor of this fruit.
Apple mostly consist of water (85%) and carbohydrate or sugars (10%). This makes it very
nutritious not only to humans but also to other microorganisms spoiling it. Spoilage in any food, is
the process in which it gets deteriorates to a point, which makes it unsuitable for human
consumption and use. The foods that are susceptible to spoiling are known as perishable foods and
are dependent on various external factors. Spoilage might occur as soon as it blooms as a flower.
Various animals, birds and worms prey into these nutritious fruits. Once apple is harvested, they
start decomposing, because of action of different enzymes, oxidation and most importantly due to
microorganisms. Microorganisms breaks down the acids and sugars present in apples and various

Summary: Why Early Humans Aren T The Flintstones
The first article that will be analyzed will be Equality and polyamory: why early humans weren't
The Flintstones. This particular article from The Guardian, describes a study that was released from
the University College London. The study delved into the topic of male and female equality in
prehistoric times, and questioned the belief that humans have always existed in nuclear families.
Because of this, the study also challenges our understanding of human history. Mark Dyble, the
study's lead author, stated that "sexual equality" is one of the important factors that "distinguishes
humans", this topic has rarely been "highlighted before". In terms of gender, both the science and
anthropological communities have had their own theories about who we as humans are and how we
became the society that we are today. The "standard narrative of prehistory" insists that we have
always lived in nuclear families. This narrative has strong biological roots, tied to Charles Darwin's
theory of sexual selection. Women and men have conflicting sexual agendas when it comes to
reproduction. Women have a greater investment in their offspring than men do, and therefore are
more hesitant to participate in sexual activity. Women require a mate who is able to provide good
genes, as well as goods and services to the woman and her offspring, whereas men mostly demand
fidelity. Helen Fisher calls this "The Sex Contract". Scientists believe that in this contract lies the
formula for nuclear families and

The Impact Of The Gnostic Movement On The Way Of Looking...
Historically, man has developed a number of ways of looking at the world, using either theoretical
models or empirical demonstrations to unearth the truth behind the unknown. Whilst positivist
scientific theory tries to explain the world around us, theology, unlike the scientific method, relies
on a greater degree of theoretical and explanatory approaches, rather than focusing on purely
practical evidence. For this reason, relying on purely theoretical foundations attracted a range of
diverging opinions and conclusions within the early Christian Church, as various participants tended
to adhere to their own views based on their grounded beliefs. The Gnostic movement can be linked
to the early Christian movement; however, many of the elements are not associated with the current
practises of Christianity. However, the underlying belief in a single and absolute higher power
remains. In this essay, I will argue that Gnosticism was originally a key factor in the Christian
movement, which in turn contributed to the spread of Christianity throughout the world, yet it does
not necessarily define the modern view of Christianity, particularly so with regard to the modern
missionary movement as compared with the early missions of Christ's followers.
Gnosticism was originally the practise of surrendering oneself to a supreme deity and involved
shunning the material world. These ideas had their roots in gnosis, a belief that there is a divine

These were some of the best years yet, new inventions and ideas came along hoping to make a

this, people never had steady, stable homes, instead made the Neolithic people wanderers. The
situation these people were put in only helped improve their creativity, which eventually lead to the
irrigation system invention. Towns were increasing in size more and more each day and the small
farming communities turned into towns, this lead to people breaking up and herding animals. Next
up is the creation of government and religion. The farming communities that turned into towns are
now powerful enough to rule others and have government. People wanted their crops to grow so
they used religion as a way of practicing their prayers. The Age of Metals was significant in this era
because people learned how to made their weapons better and more efficient.

civilization to begin imposing certain laws and regulations that would subsequent an act of crime.
During the early time period of 2000 B.C. to 1800 A.D. (2010), ancient Babylonian and Sumerian
codes began the model of creating a practice where criminals would be punished for their wrong
doings. One of the earliest philosophies of this ancient time was the term Lex talionis or an eye for
an eye. This practice is based on the criminal punishment idea of retribution, which means that a
criminal deserves to be punished based on the crime committed. As time progressed, new ways of
thinking emerged and eventually crime had to be the responsibility of the government because they
believed that a crime committed against one citizen was considered to be committed against the
whole society. During the enlightenment, great philosophers such as Cesare Beccaria, Jeremy
Bentham, and John Howard changed the perspective on human life. Prior the enlightenment, people
were not rational and they believed that behavior was not a function of their choice. That's why they
highly supported punishment for retribution. However, during post–enlightenment the main purpose
of punishment became to deter or stop crime. In hopes of getting criminals of the street, new ways

What Is Early Human Migration?
Studying the history of early humanity can come with many questions. For example, the earliest
humans migrated to the Americas by crossing a land bridge at Bering Strait during the last ice age.
However, the oldest known human settlement is found in South America. The reason why is not
entirely clear, but pieces of the puzzle are coming together. This settlement is called Monte Verde,
and is located in Chile. Discovered in 1975, scientists have dated the site to 12,000 BC. This date
makes Monte Verde about 1000 years older than any other known community in the Americas.
Several theories have been offered about how humans made their way to Monte Verde. One theory,
supported by genetic evidence, suggests that the humans who migrated over the land bridge found
the environment too harsh to stay. These humans might have chosen to migrate further south,
following the west coast of the continent. Perhaps they traveled by the sea. ... Show more content on

Yet these sites are not as old as Monte Verde. Scientists believe that sea levels rose significantly
after the period of migration. Thus, older sites along the western part of the continent may be
submerged under the water.
No matter how Monte Verde was settled, scientists theorize that the site is linked to the Clovis
people. The Clovis lived in areas of North and Central America as early as 11,200 BC. Despite the
lack of physical evidence, the Clovisn people are considered the most likely inhabitants of ancient
Monte Verde.
Monte Verde has been continuously inhabited for more than 14,600 years. Though the true origins of

Early Human Evolution Research Paper

  • 1. Early Human Evolution Research Paper Throughout history, historians and archeologists uncovered many fascinating discoveries. Two significant findings were the Clovis and Folsom discoveries. The early humans left behind clues for archaeologists to understand a part of their life. There were a few written records, so archaeologists focused primarily on artifacts to find out information about the past. In order to find out more about the past, archaeologists looked to the Folsom discoveries to help recognize early human origin, migration, and culture. In Folsom, New Mexico, a world famous archaeological site, archaeologists has made revolutionary discoveries, providing information on human migration and history. The early humans, Homo erectus, originated from Africa. Around 400,000 ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... North American is filled with a vast variety of different environments. Due to the diversity of the environments, cultures of the Native Americans were diverse as well. Many cultural beliefs of the Native Americans in North America had survived for many generations and continues even today. "More than three hundred major tribes and hundred of lesser groups inhabited North America alone" (8). A tribe that roamed the Great Plains was known as the Indians of the Great Plains.The group of Indians was widely known for its nomadic life as the group followed the bisons as bisons migrated through the Great Plains. The Great Plains hunters originally used spears like their fellow ancestors, the Paleo–Indians. However, the spears were replaced by the bow and arrows. Most of Great Plains Indian's clothing and tools were made out of bisons skin. Along the Pacific coast, five hundred tribes reside in California alone. One tribe settled along the Pacific coast was the Chumash. The Chumash main source of food tends to be from the ocean. The Chumash built canoes for hunting in the waters. They tend to hunt for whales and fishes. The whale provided bones to make weapons out of and a variety of useful tools.

Never did I think there would be so many different topics and events that would shape and reshape the Mexican heritage. The two subjects that I enjoyed learning about was the "Early Human Migration" and the Menchaca story. The subject of the human migration truly fascinated me.

  • 5. The Pros And Cons Of Gnosticism The Gnostic view is one of the issues that have been debated among Christian and nonchristian scholars. This is because a different school of thought has risen in the past concerning Gnostic teachings and the negative effects it poses to the gospel truth. Many who oppose gnostic teachings tend to tag them as heretic movement while gnostic teachers believe that their teaching is base on cosmetic facts. There are many scholars in the past that have oppose gnostic views because they see it as an obstacle in preaching the gospel. One of the early scholars that oppose gnostic ideas is Ireanus. He believes that despite the writings of the early Church Fathers, most of whom were fanatics with an axe to grind theology see gnostic belief as an enemy of the true gospel. Ireanus used the term 'herectic ' which was not universally used by early church fathers. This is because gnostics themselves were comprised of diverse groups which did not have a uniform set of beliefs because of their diversity. Because of their diversity and lack of having a define theory on some of their views, one is posed with the difficult task of identifying the main aim of the movement. Furthermore, the research intends to discuss or define the term Gnosticism, it will also look at its origin and how it relates to Christianity. What is Gnosticism? The term 'Gnostic' has traditionally been referred to the various groups which flourished in the early centuries of the Common Era and which stressed the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 7. Good Shepherd : A Formal Analysis : Iconography Of The... Iconography of the Good Shepherd: A Formal Analysis This paper will analyze the iconography of the mosaic, Good Shepherd (lunette, Oratory of Galla Placidia, c. 425–26, Ravenna, Italy), that is located on the lunette over the north doorway of the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, Ravenna. The iconography has been one of the most recognized and admired works of art since the 3rd century AD. In the mosaic, the artists present a depiction of Christ symbolic and traditional of Byzantine art during the conversion of Christianity in Roman provinces. Shortly after Rome made the transition from pagan practices to embracing Christianity as their formal faith, Christ's depiction in art went through various restorations. Some of the most widely popular illustrations were that of Christ sacrificed on the cross to his ultimate ascension into the Kingdom of Heaven after overcoming death. Since the image portrays Christ in luxurious attire resembling the Roman toga, the viewer can perceive that the mosaic was meant to present Christ in an imperialistic fashion. This is perhaps directed in part to the Byzantine emperors preferring to worship Christ in a way traditional and symbolic of their historical and early customs rather than how he really looked. When tracing the past history of the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, we learn that Galla Placidia was half sister to Emperor Flavius Honorius Augustus. The mausoleum was believed to have been named after Placidia. Before her death in 450, it was ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 9. The Book Of Acts By The Bible The Book of Acts is a book about the beginning of the first Christians and the growth of the Church. Acts explains how Christianity began and also spread about. It explains how Jesus used some of the apostles to teach through the Holy Spirit after ascending into Heaven. The writer of the Book of Acts is the apostle Luke, who gives us insight into the different things the disciples, mainly Peter and Paul, had went through during this time. Luke describes these instances but rarely indicates how Christians today should respond. What would Christianity look like today if only the Book of Acts was written in the New Testament? The Early Church started with Peter, who told the people to repent and be baptized, only then would they receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. After 3,000 were baptized, the very first Church was started. The early Church had a focus on the Bible and it's teachings, the stories the apostles shared, breaking the bread, meal sharing, prayer, and fellowship. Today, Christians might only continue to share stories that the apostles shared, be baptized, pray, and get to know members of their Church if this was the only book written in the New Testament. Peter "gives Jesus" to people in need in the Book of Acts, and this is a difference in what we don't see sometimes practiced in Churches today. Christians learning to ask Jesus into their heart was a major milestone in the early Church. The Book of Acts, as discussed by Michael Morrison, the author of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 11. The Columbian Exchange The Columbian Exchange The Columbian Exchange is non–fiction book written by Alfred W. Crosby JR. It illustrates the important events that transpired when Columbus came to America in 1492. I initially chose this this book because I wanted to know more about Europe's effects on America, and how Columbus altered the flora and fauna of America for better and for worse. As I started to read further into the book I immediately was captivated by all the information that was hidden within the text. The book started out by contrasting the Columbian Exchange to the early human migrations and early land bridges. I believe this is especially important because, it gave e a better understanding of how early humans developed a pattern and a need to explore new lands. This quote states, "The connection between the Old and New Worlds, which for more than ten millennia had been no more than a tenuous thing of Viking voyages, drifting fishermen, and shadowy contacts via Polynesia, became on the twelfth day of October 1492 a bond as significant as the Bering land bridge had once been"(Crosby 3). This is a particularly important sentence in the book because it gave me a tie between mankind's migrations throughout the earth. The Bering land bridge was used as a rout for human migrations from Asia to the Americas about 20,000 years ago. Knowing this gave me a sense of what the book was about. When Columbus came to America one of the big effects that occurred was disease. As Crosby explains, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Yes, it absolutely can be a life changing curiosity leading to a long journey of research. As it was the case for Bart D. Ehrman. Ehram a less devout episcopal Christian who converted to evangelical Christianity, in an essence, re–embraced the religion at a young age and started studying Christianity. His education started off at Moody Bible Institute and the Wheaton College and later received his PhD in New Testament studies. During his studies, Ehram developed a particular interest about infallibility and inerrancy of the Christian scripture. In a quest of finding answers for his questions about Scripture he wrote a book Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why. The main thesis of the book reads "The book is about ancient manuscripts of the New Testament and the differences found in them, about scribes who copied scripture and sometimes changed it. This may not seem to be very promising as a key to one's own autobiography, but there it is. One has little control over such things" . The book is a very readable, accurate condensation of many of the most important facts about the nature and history of textual criticism. A critical review of the book demonstrates that Ehram almost absolutely proves the thesis statement of the book. Ehram has written the book in a plain language for an audience with no prior knowledge of the history ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Adam and Eve Essay 3 Adam and Eve Marcie Smith REL 250 Paxton Reed November 16, 2008 Adam and Eve The term subordination is used frequently in the context of Trinitarian discussion, and has a clearly defined usage. Theologians of the past have spoken in some sense of the subordination of the Son and the Spirit within the boundaries of orthodoxy. However, how do we define it when it comes to women and the church? The story of Adam and Eve is a great place to start. It brings with it all of the elements of love, respect, partnership, and subordination all rolled together. When I first started to research this paper I was under the misguided assumption that Adam and Eve went down together. As my paper evolved you will see I learned a little bit differently. ...

While scholars in ecclesiastical history and related fields have undoubtedly been influenced by the huge developments in both women's history and gender history in the larger arena of historical scholarship, they have also been influenced by the questions raised by feminist theologians about the viability of women remaining within the Churches and the outworking of Christian doctrine in the women's lives. "Origins have therefore become important to some feminist scholars, especially those of faith, in a rather distinctive way, as they have sought to bring to light–and , in some cases, discover–evidence for the ways in which the Christian tradition has in at least some of its roots an equal place for women" (Shaw, 2004). The place of women–and, indeed, men–in the early Churches is a historical subject which is seen to have relevance to individuals and the Churches today: while Churches are still debating the validity of the ordination of women, and even the extent to which laywomen can participate in the worship and ministry of the Church, it is not possible to shy away from this. One of the great strengths of feminist scholarship has been to show that no scholar works from a neutral starting–point: the selection of topic and the evidence on which historians choose to focus are shaped by their presuppositions.

  • 19. Neanderthal and Early Modern Humans Essay Neanderthal and Early Modern Humans The history of life on earth goes back to millions of years. Many species and creatures evolved and changed through time, leading up to what we know today as, modern man. One of the creatures most similar to modern man is the Neanderthals; they are sometimes referred to as "early modern humans." An article entitled "Early man steered clear of Neanderthal romance" by Michael Hopkin, explains that there was a discovery that early human ancestors of modern man did not breed with their "cousins," the Neanderthals, according to DNA that has been studied. "Neanderthals vanished from Europe between 30,000 and 40,000 years ago, roughly the time that truly modern man made his first appearance in ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... There were 24 Neanderthal remains and 40 early modern human remains that were studied. The bimolecular preservation of DNA of five early humans and four Neanderthals was helpful enough for the preservation. "All four Neanderthals yielded the mtDNA sequences similar to those previously determined from Neanderthal individuals, whereas none of the five early modern humans contained such mtDNA sequences. In combination with current mtDNA data, this excludes any large genetic contribution by Neanderthals to early modern humans, but does not rule out the possibility of a smaller contribution" (Serre, 16 March 2004). Therefore, early modern humans and Neanderthals could have been around and breeding at the same time, it is just a small chance. Between 30,000 and 40,000 years ago, Neanderthals were gone from Europe (where these fossils were found). Right around that time, the early modern humans were beginning to migrate to parts of Europe. This brings up the point that it could be possible that Neanderthals and early modern humans came eye to eye, but no one knows what the reactions and attitudes were like if that were true. This is a question of the history of life, did they exist simultaneously, and did they interact? "Despite intense research efforts, no consensus has been reached about the genetic relationship between early modern humans and archaic human forms such as the Neanderthals" (Serre, 16 March 2004).

  • 22. Ancient Christian Worship By Andrew B. Mcgowan Zoryana Nichipor Christianity & Western Culture Box #390 Word Count: Book Review of Ancient Christian Worship: Early Christian Practices in Social, Historical, and Theological Perspective Throughout this book, Andrew B. McGowan thoroughly informs us on each cultural background and formation of the different types of acts of worship throughout the early Christian church. We see through this information that the way the Church worships has evolved into something completely different from what it once was. In one form or another we are forced to appreciate how the early Christians worshipped and, I would even assert, are challenged to bring these traditions into our own mentality of worship. If we are to look to the New Testament and how worship is referred to, it is "a great deal about ethos or a Christian way of life, but relatively little about the specifics of distinctive liturgical practice or performance." In chapter one of McGowan's book, we see a compare and contrast given with how the early church worshiped more communally as opposed to how we worship today; which is more aesthetic and internal. McGowan reiterates numerously that worship in the New Testament is a subject of service, reverence and ethics. "They were not merely one sacramental part of a community or worship life but the central act around or within which others– reading and preaching, prayer and prophecy– were arranged." The New Testament was in the setting of a very communal culture. And ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 24. Early History Of Human Overpopulation Overpopulation of Humans Within the early history of the human race, the earth was titanic and appeared boundless. Its resources seemed limitless. Then as the humans traveled away from home, the world got smaller and most of the world was recorded onto maps. Soon, the numbers of people were growing and the world and its natural resources looked as if it was shrinking. The overpopulation of an creature is dangerous to any environment, but with humans its deadly for the whole world. In biology, it states that when life is pleasurable and resources are abundant, life will begin to grow exponentially until space and food become scarce. At that moment the population of whatever creature will even out and remain stable. However, in nature, land and resources are limited, so all forms of life are in a constantly competing for survival. Adaptability and evolution helps the lucky certain creatures with new skills or traits that will aid them to become fit and reproduce. With the early humans, their numbers began to grow dramatically due to their involvement in agriculture to produce their own food in vast amounts.

  • 26. The Major Developments of Early Human and Social Evolution Describe the major developments of early human and social evolution. Throughout, discuss tool manufacturing, language development, agriculture, social behavior, and population growth. The first tools developed during the Paleolithic Era were made from chipped stones, wood and bone, and "nets from plant fibers and animal sinew" (Holt, Rinehart, & Wilson, n.d.: 2). The Neolithic Era brought forth greater specialization. People began to make chisels, drills, and saws to address specific needs and also polished stones to create sharper and more defined points (Holt, Rinehart, & Wilson, n.d.: 2). Language scholars trace the development of the first forms of systematized language to this era: "The crucial evolutionary development that led to the burst in creativity in the Neolithic was the emergence of human language as a method for integrating across cognitive modules" (MacWhinney 2005: 383). During this era, the use of stones began to have a utilitarian purpose in a manner that showed more sophisticated thinking. The most significant development during the Neolithic Era was the development of agriculture. This occurred approximately 10,000 years ago in human history. Humans began to domesticate animals and engage in selective breeding. With the end of the Ice Age, new plants became available and were cultivated to provide a more stable food source than hunting and gathering. Humans began to domesticate plants as well.

  • 28. The Effects of Nature or Nurture on Early Human... Human development is a very complex process – from conception to death. There has been a long debate on whether human development is determined by nature or nurture. If their growths were all guided by nature only, they would all be born with a mind of "blank slate". This means that they do not have any inborn ability to do anything when they are born. On the other hand, if their growth was determined by nurture only, it would mean that they were fully equipped with all the skills they need in their lives when we are born. In other words, all the physical and mental skills they have right now would have been inherited from their parents and the environment they grow up in has no effect. This essay will focus on the effects of both ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This is because they are born with the same set of muscles and bones that they learn how to use – the "nature" part of motor development. However, it is important to notice that the rate of learning these motor skills differ due to the "nurture" side of development. For example, an infant that practices walking with its parent may start walking on its own earlier than another infant that received no help. Also, an infant that receives much visual and auditory stimulation, such as playing with toys, develops its motor skills faster than an infant that received none. While the baby continues to learn how to move around on its own, it also learns how to talk – an extremely important skill. Speech development is also determined by both nature and nurture. All babies that are born with no birth defects are equipped with physiological requirements for speech: lungs, voice box, and mouth. They also need a properly working brain and nerves to control these body parts and to mentally form sentences. These form the nature part of the speech development because they are the things that the babies are born with. However, they could be useless if the baby does not learn how to use them properly, and this is where the nurture part of the speech development comes in. A baby that is constantly spoken to by others learns how to talk faster. In an opposite case, a baby ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 30. Mitochondrial DNA Mutations: The Early Stages Of Human Life Today, there are many different kinds of mitochondrial DNA mutations. These mutations can vary in severity, and the consequences that result from the mutation. But how did these mutations arise? And how do they affect those afflicted with the mutation? In order to properly understand human mitochondrial DNA mutations, we must begin with the early stages of human life. The history of mitochondrial mutations stems back thousands of years, when humans first evolved in regions of Africa. These early humans had properly functioning mitochondrial DNA, with accurately arranged bases that were free of mutation. As humans continued to evolve, and populations grew, more DNA was duplicated as humans and offspring developed. These mitochondrial DNA strands slowly developed variations in base patterns, occasionally deleting a base entirely. Over time, these mutations continued to transfer onto offspring, producing more opportunity for DNA to modify. Because of this knowledge, it could then be implied that older populations have ...

In most cases of inborn mutations, the mother's egg contains both cells without mutations and cells with mitochondrial DNA mutations, without her possessing any symptoms. This is because while the mutated gene is present, it is greatly outnumbered by the amount of healthy cells with properly arranged mitochondrial DNA. However, the cells that form to create an egg allow for an opportunity of mutated genes to outnumber those without mutation.

Human potential is a concept that was introduced by early personality theorists many years ago, and it implies that as humans, we have an innate tendency toward personal growth and development, and under the right circumstances, this tendency will lead us to actualize our potential and become all that we can be (Deci, Ryan, & Guay, 2013, p. 109). In other words, each and every person has their own inner potential, and it just takes the right conditions to realize it. According to the self– determination theory, full functioning involves "individuals having access to and using all of their capacities for experience, connection, and proactivity" (Deci, Ryan & Guay, 2013, p. 110). The term "full functioning" is used in this theory to refer to self–actualization. Full functioning is characterized by being aware and mindful, pursuing and attaining intrinsic life goals, and obtaining inner peace and quiet (Deci, Ryan, & Guay, 2013, p. 110). In order to reach a level of full functioning, according to the self–determination theory, there are three basic psychological needs that must be fulfilled in order to perform the behaviors that are related to full functioning. These needs are universal and are essential for psychological well–being. They include competence, relatedness, and autonomy (Deci, Ryan, & Guay, 2013, p. 111).

Eventually, early humans learned how to make better tools. For example, they developed a hand ax that was made out of a mineral called flint. People used the hand ax to cut tree limbs, to dig, and to cut animal hides. After early humans developed better tools, hunters no longer had to stand close to the animals they were hunting and were able to catch larger animals.

The Early human migration was an event that eventually led to all of the known world's current human population and their various locations. Homo erectus (before Homo sapiens) began their journey by migrating through both the Levantine corridor and the Horn of Africa all the way to Eurasia during the Early Pleistocene. However, if we are to look at Homo sapiens and Neanderthals, it is believed that they retreated back to Africa and did not proceed to go east across Asia until approximately 75,000 years ago. They achieved this by wandering across the Bab el Mandib connecting Ethiopia and Yemen. But, what caused them to make the journey across such vast lands? Why bother making it at all? The answers to these questions can even be seen in the world of today. War, Climate change, lack of food, and diseases are all reasons as to why the migration proceeded. As soon as the risk of remaining in their current location exceeded the dangers of venturing to new lands it was determined that moving on was the best option.

  • 50. The Early Development Of Human Consciousness The early development of human consciousness seems to have given humans a genetic predisposition to the belief in religion. During this early development many chemicals known as entheogens were used during religious sacraments and ceremonies, especially during times when religion was undergoing critical stages of development. Once early humans could communicate concepts effectively they utilized experiences derived from such substances in the integration of theological belief systems. Describing psychoactive substances without using a word that has a negative connotation attached to it can be difficult. In an effort to combat this problem, a committee under the chairmanship of Carl Ruck described "after trying out a number of words he came up with entheogen, 'god generated within', which his committee unanimously adopted" (Wasson 30). Psychoactive substances, or entheogens, have been researched for years by scientists, however, research into their historical significance is severely limited. The origin of religion cannot simply be looked at through the perspective of entheogens, there are many factors associated with it which spread multiple fields. Science, sociology, history, archeology, psychology, chemistry and botany all cross over when researching this subject.

Apples, one of such fruits with varying benefits, can be made into cider, wine, pie, jelly, brandy or sundried so that the fruit does not decay because of overproduction. In year 2013, 80.8 million tonns of apple was produced worldwide, out of which china alone produced 49%. Apple is one of the easily preferable fruit, as it can be eaten straight away, unlike other fruits which needs to be peeled off.

This particular article from The Guardian, describes a study that was released from the University College London. The study delved into the topic of male and female equality in prehistoric times, and questioned the belief that humans have always existed in nuclear families. Because of this, the study also challenges our understanding of human history. Mark Dyble, the study's lead author, stated that "sexual equality" is one of the important factors that "distinguishes humans", this topic has rarely been "highlighted before". In terms of gender, both the science and anthropological communities have had their own theories about who we as humans are and how we became the society that we are today. The "standard narrative of prehistory" insists that we have always lived in nuclear families. This narrative has strong biological roots, tied to Charles Darwin's theory of sexual selection. Women and men have conflicting sexual agendas when it comes to reproduction. Women have a greater investment in their offspring than men do, and therefore are more hesitant to participate in sexual activity. Women require a mate who is able to provide good genes, as well as goods and services to the woman and her offspring, whereas men mostly demand fidelity. Helen Fisher calls this "The Sex Contract".

Historically, man has developed a number of ways of looking at the world, using either theoretical models or empirical demonstrations to unearth the truth behind the unknown. Whilst positivist scientific theory tries to explain the world around us, theology, unlike the scientific method, relies on a greater degree of theoretical and explanatory approaches, rather than focusing on purely practical evidence. For this reason, relying on purely theoretical foundations attracted a range of diverging opinions and conclusions within the early Christian Church, as various participants tended to adhere to their own views based on their grounded beliefs. The Gnostic movement can be linked to the early Christian movement; however, many of the elements are not associated with the current practises of Christianity. However, the underlying belief in a single and absolute higher power remains.

(2010), ancient Babylonian and Sumerian codes began the model of creating a practice where criminals would be punished for their wrong doings. One of the earliest philosophies of this ancient time was the term Lex talionis or an eye for an eye. This practice is based on the criminal punishment idea of retribution, which means that a criminal deserves to be punished based on the crime committed. As time progressed, new ways of thinking emerged and eventually crime had to be the responsibility of the government because they believed that a crime committed against one citizen was considered to be committed against the whole society. During the enlightenment, great philosophers such as Cesare Beccaria, Jeremy Bentham, and John Howard changed the perspective on human life. Prior the enlightenment, people were not rational and they believed that behavior was not a function of their choice. That's why they highly supported punishment for retribution.

Factors Influencing The Collaboration Of The New Testament LIBERTY UNIVERSITY FACTORS INFLUENCING THE COLLABORATION OF THE NEW TESTAMENT By Daniel Surmi CHHI 520 05 October, 2014 INTRODUCTION This paper will examine the internal and external factors which spurred and led to the well–known theologian Athanasius proposing the now existing New Testament books of the Holy Scriptures. The internal factors that will be examined in this paper include: Docetism, Judaism, Gnosticism, Marcionism, Montanism, and Apollinarianism. Secondly this paper will view how the false prophets influenced not only the doctrine of Christ but sought to take advantage of the Church's generous heart for personal profit and gain. The external factors this paper will evaluate are: the persecution of the church and the influence of pagan cultures surrounding the Christian Gentiles. The events and topics covered will be from the 1st to 3rd century AD. Lastly this paper will look at the churches response to these factors as they will create an authoritative list of writings in which Christians can rest on and use as a foundation for their belief in Christ. All information and data in this paper is gathered from peer reviewed, published journals and vetted educational websites.

For example, the earliest humans migrated to the Americas by crossing a land bridge at Bering Strait during the last ice age. However, the oldest known human settlement is found in South America. The reason why is not entirely clear, but pieces of the puzzle are coming together. This settlement is called Monte Verde, and is located in Chile. Discovered in 1975, scientists have dated the site to 12,000 BC. This date makes Monte Verde about 1000 years older than any other known community in the Americas. Several theories have been offered about how humans made their way to Monte Verde. One theory, supported by genetic evidence, suggests that the humans who migrated over the land bridge found the environment too harsh to stay. These humans might have chosen to migrate further south, following the west coast of the continent. Perhaps they traveled by the sea. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Yet these sites are not as old as Monte Verde. Scientists believe that sea levels rose significantly after the period of migration. Thus, older sites along the western part of the continent may be submerged under the water. No matter how Monte Verde was settled, scientists theorize that the site is linked to the Clovis people. The Clovis lived in areas of North and Central America as early as 11,200 BC. Despite the lack of physical evidence, the Clovisn people are considered the most likely inhabitants of ancient Monte Verde. Monte Verde has been continuously inhabited for more than 14,600 years. Though the true origins of its first residents are not yet known, this mystery is slowly being ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
