Introduction:
Perhaps the basic evolutionary trajectory of human lifestyle is variably understood in the following manner: a so-called "stone-age", and in some cases, "nomadic" or "hunter-gatherer" sustenance, gives way to "sedentary", "agriculture" and/or "animal husbandry", and then to "community-building" or "urbanization", thereby possibly paving way for "social stratification" and Mystery Solverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06985949344472336362noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2074422985363924559.post-67724962204572429262017-10-04T08:13:00.001-06:002017-10-10T09:49:04.024-06:00Attention!
This site is currently undergoing an overhauling effort, in order to renovate several entries that now have broken links in them due to, for example, the sweeping action of imageshack, which decided to destroy an entire storage of images; an event which warrants a lesson to be learned, no doubt.

In the natural world, from the very onset of its existence, life has been sustained through a constant battle of what biological arrangement or form can stick it through the challenge(s) that a given environment—which is ever-changing in our universe—throws its way. It's from this earthly-pervasive phenomenon, that the now common saying of "survival of the fittest" was coined, Mystery Solverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06985949344472336362noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2074422985363924559.post-82710021042595540512014-06-18T02:44:00.000-06:002015-11-07T11:45:33.985-07:00Another Look at the Nag el-Hamdulab Iconography

This entry is essentially a spin-off of another entry, Relationship between Nagadan and "Lower Nubian" Burials, and henceforth inspired by a matter that was raised in a reader commentary. It revolves around the veracity of allegations contained in the iconography of the Nag el Hamdulab epigraphy that is making rounds in the net.

The act of traveling either back or prematurely forward in time has often been a popular concept in science fiction narratives, whether in the plots of motion pictures or books. The very idea of exploring "what could have been" or "what could be" is something that has always fascinated humanity, regardless of the cultural backdrop.

Introduction:
It has become a common theme in DNA research papers dealing with population genetics, particularly those that are either published in the "west" or else rely heavily on references to previous publications by "western" research teams, to dichotomize human phylogeny neatly into two main types: African and non-African.
