Hello Forester. What's going on around here? I feel like I'm in a time warp. :lol: Hi Beagle, Not to derail this thread, but perhaps some of us occasional lurkers are starting to notice that certain obnoxious posters are no longer here? Anyway, a part of my master's degree dealt with the neurobiolo...

Hey All! Sorry haven't been around lately, been buried deep in homework (middle-aged and still doing homework, something's wrong with that). I am wondering if anyone out here has a handle on Art History, I am having difficulty finding peer reviewed articles on Raphael's School of Athens. Lot's of i...

That too, but this is from wikipedia: Most were produced with a pointed base to allow them to be stored in an upright position by being partly embedded in sand or soft ground. If they were designed solely for racks, a better design would be to make them square-sided, for a better fit and stability. ...

I've just found this thread and perhaps you guys can explain something to me. As a retired engineer I have never been able to understand why anybody of sound mind could design such an apparently stupid container as an amphora. Am I missing something, apart from a few grey cells that is? Do you mean...

Oh, and sorry about the lack of introducutions, War Arrow, I am being rude. No criticism was intended, it is just that I have not had much time to post here. I share your interest in Meso-American pre-Columbian cultures, and have been reading your posts with interest. I will try to reply more often....

Hi guys! Sorry to be such a phantom poster, but... could not resist a little hit-n-run. Plus the language streams of the general region seem to support it (Zuni, Hopi, Navajo (I think) are all Uto-Aztecan. Navajo (Dine) is rooted in the Athabaskan Languages family , as is Apache. It seems that my mo...

uhm, okay. Whatever

It would be more helpfull if you did not resort to the fluffy stuff. But that is just me. Try writing a coherent paragraph, instead of a set of disjoninted one-line garbage. This is not a poetry board, as far as I know.

I submit to you that this post by "archaeologist" is sufficient evidence of a direct personal attack to warrant action. amazing, that wasn't a personal attack at all. your post just confirms what i wrote. if you can defend your position then why are you worried about a couple of religious...

Quite frankly, some of us would love to seriously discuss some real archaeology and paleoanthropology here, but do not have time to weed through the crap. We are busy professionals, with real day jobs. I am a cognitive neuroscientist with interests in human brain development, and my friend JulieB i...

Hi all, No doubt you "regular" posters who are replying to the religion-based trolls are thinking that you are "fighting the good fight," but you are deluding yourselves. Plus, I imagine that it is probably sort of fun to engage in such debate with the fundies. But you should be ...

Sorry I have not been around much, things have been hectic. Take, for instance, the question of skin color. Generally, I have seen it claimed that because humans developed in Africa where it was hot that the melanin developed as a protective device. As they moved northward it became less of a factor...

I really had to laugh at this one. I sort of always thought of myself as the tribe shaman in a past life, but maybe I should have gone for the cave man version of John Travolta. :shock: :lol: According to new research, the ability to dance may have been a factor in survival for our prehistoric ances...

Oops, I just noticed that I made a mistake in my last post. It was Cyprus, not Crete. I am geographically challenged.
