Evolutions of civilizations can occur because of differences in people’s religion, culture, or geographic setting of the settlement. The relationship between the world of the gods and that of men was perceived differently by the Sumerians, Egyptians, and Hebrew ancient civilizations. This is demonstrated by the way each group viewed the process of creation. They had different thoughts on the creation of their gods, the universe and of man. This essay will discuss the relationship between humans and their gods in three different ancient civilizations: Sumerian, Egyptian and Hebrew.

In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania of 1837, the first higher education institution for African Americans was founded on February 25th given the name Institute for Colored Youth (originally the African Institute).

The institute was founded by Richard Humphreys, a Quaker philanthropist who donated 10,000 dollars to establish a school that would educate young African American male and females the skills needed to become more competitive in the job market (Conyers, 1990). The school taught basic subjects such as math, reading and writing, as well as agriculture and mechanics.

On January 28, 1842, William Yarrington was born in Norwich, VT (VT in the Civil War). Growing up, he lived in a large family, which was probably hectic, but equally memorable. His father, Joel Yarrington, was a farmer, giving him the profound role as the head of their humble homestead (1850 Census). William’s mother, Sarah Jane Newcomb, was most likely a strict, but equally wonderful women, who spent her busy days housekeeping and taking care of her many children, as many women did back then (1850 Census). These children, Kate, Harvey, Clarissa, Merrill, and Sarah, were William’s siblings (1850 & 1860 Census). Harvey being the oldest of the five, had the tiresome job of a farmer, alike to his father (1850 Census). All the other siblings, including

The Yąnomamö are a group of Indians that live in a tropical rain forest in Southern Venezuela and part of northern Brazil, isolated from other human life. They do not bathe regularly, nor do they wear clothing, except for a few cotton strings on around body parts. Their warfare with neighbors shaped Yąnomamö politics Their daily life revolves around gardening, hunting, gathering, visiting, and producing the few material possessions they own. In their tribe they can earn a 'living' with about three hours' of work per day. Most of what they eat is what is grown in their gardens (mostly plantains), and a variety of meat from game animals (hunted daily by the men). They live in very open spaces, so privacy is very rare. Villages are either

David Nye is of the opinion that even if a new energy system is developed in the USA the process of conversion would be gradual and this can be seen in the evolution of the structure as well as the composition of the energy systems in the USA over time. The history energy of America can be traced in six energy systems from muscle power to “an eclectic bricolage of many technologies and conservation measures, coordinated by computer technologies” (Nye, 253). The first one took place during the pre-Columbian period where the prime mover was the muscle power and stayed relevant until 1920. New sources of energy were introduced by the European colonialists that included water, the wind as well as domestic animals.

Nye was born on November 27, 1955, in Washington, D.C., to Jacqueline (née Jenkins; 1921–2000), a codebreaker during World War II, and Edwin Darby "Ned" Nye (1917–1997), also a World War II veteran, whose experience without electricity in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp led him to become a sundial enthusiast.

The Songye is a tribe found in central Democratic Republic of Congo. This tribe is well known for their masks andsculptures, also known as powers or fetishes. The sculptures were mostly carved in a sort of distorted human figure from wood with the addition of a shaman, also referred to as a fetishist, concocting a magic paste that was applied onto the wood (Ament). These Songye masks and heads of the fetishes have distinctive characteristics that are immediately noticeable such as the protruding lips, the swollen oval eyes, and the rectangular noses. In the fetishes, the body is usually carved to a straight and vertical posture, while the hands rest on the sides of the rounded abdomen. The shoulders are squared and the neck is sometimes decorated

George Eastman is an influential and well-known entrepreneur and photographic enthusiast.

There is a one year old by the name of Austyn, who is important to me, which has to be my little cousin. Austyn was born with a cleft lip and a cleft palate, which included his gum line. There were many things told to his parents, while his mother was pregnant explain difficulties that he may encounter once born. Cleft children are usually underweight, because of feeding difficulties, they are usually cognitively and speech delayed, and usually have another disability that is non-cleft related.
