Hunter gatherers

The Paleolithic diet, also knows as the cave man diet, the Stone Age Diet or the Hunter-Gatherer Diet, has been suggested as the way to eat to reduce many western diseases including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) (Masharani et. Al 2015). People with T2D often have a number of metabolic anomalies, one being insulin resistance (Masharani et. Al. 2015). Below we report of studies conducted on the metabolic effects of this modern Paleolithic diet on T2D and the results from these studies. The Paleolithic

Background Alzheimer’s was recognized over 100 years ago in a German psychiatric textbook. The perception has since undergone many transformations while it continues to evolve with implications to cultural placement and clinical for those diagnosed. Dr. Alzheimer was the first to discover, established during a post-mortem, tangles and high concentrations of plaque as well as a scarceness of cells in the cerebral cortex. Prior to this discovery, the world classified Alzheimer’s as a mental disorder

disadvantage to hunting and gathering was inability to supply food during bad times, other than that it was very efficient. After the shift to agriculture the extra food enabled people to live longer lives and support more children. While they were hunter gatherers, women could only have one child every three to four years because they had to be able to tend for the child as they traveled. In the agricultural setting people can produce and support more kids, leading to a huge population

Gender inequality is amongst us all in any given society. Although gender is not as simple as may seem. Gender comes into play along with a number of different aspects such as sex, gender and gender roles. Each of these aspects play a significant part when speaking of the different social problems encountered by men and women. Sex makes up the biological differences; of male or female. Gender is the socially learned behaviors that are attached to the sexes (Henslin, p. 322), which create Gender Roles

“adoption of agriculture, supposedly our most decisive step toward a better life, was in many ways a catastrophe,” (1). He talks about this “catastrophe” by using progressivist and revisionist views. The progressivist view claims that the lives of hunter-gatherers were improved when they shifted to farming. Farming provided more food, which meant more mouths were being fed. But, this was hard to prove and was then challenged by the revisionist view that Diamond talks about. He says that the revisionists

Even if we don't agree that humans evolved from another, now-extinct species, we can agree that the habits of humanity have definitely evolved. Along with these advancements in the habits and daily lives of humanity, the technologies that were available to them advanced. There are several ideologists that have discussed their research on the subject on how exactly they believe that technology has advanced and evolved, whether they be hand in hand with the evolution of mankind, advanced through the

jumped forward by 200 years. They were 2000 years behind, they were surviving without a written language and hunter gatherers.

The nature vs nurture debate is one that naturalists and empiricists love to have. The naturalists are on the nature side of the debate; they believe that a person's development is primarily influenced by their genetic traits. The empiricists, on the other hand, side with the nurture part of the debate; they believed that a person's development is mostly influenced by the environment they are raised in. Most modern psychologist, however, don’t take such radical approaches. They instead accept that

The Neolithic Era lasted from about 9,000-3,000 BCE. We are not exactly sure of when it started but this is the best estimate. The Neolithic Era was a period of human history when the start of agriculture arose and came before the first civilizations. The Neolithic Revolution took place in many different regions of the world. They where not that advanced so they made tools out of wood, stone and bone. Life in the Neolithic Era was easier than life in the Paleolithic life was. The reason for this

The style and technique used to portray the human body in art plays a critical role in reflecting the values and beliefs of the society in which it was produced. Four works of art from the Paleolithic, Mesopotamian, Greek Classical, and Greek Hellenistic periods will be discussed in terms of style and technique used to depict the human form and its reflection of the society’s contemporary values and beliefs. The Nude Woman, or the controversial and misleading name Venus of Willendorf, is believed
