So is this now the anthropology thread?

Maybe Willie should change the title again.

kahljorn

yea we talked about that too ;o

Ah, I see.

We've moved past that and are now on the traits of Hominidae (apes and humans). Hopefully, this'll be easier to remember.

kahljorn

that's what we're learning ;o
we just had to learn the different types of teeth and that all primates have unspecialized teeth ;/

We had to learn about parts of molars.

We're learning about Hominidae (humans and apes) right now. I'm working on a one or two page summary of notes for them (not so bad actually).

Its kind of a fun class ;o

I don't really know what you mean by label the parts of a lemurs tooth

but we learned about TEETHS.

ZeldaQueen

It sucks, doesn't it?

Did your class have to learn how to label the parts of a lemur's tooth?

I assume it was physical anthropology, which I'm not to crazy about either, for the record. My area is cultural anthropology, which is a whole 'nother ball of wax.

Yes it is. Right now we're studying the physical characteristics of monkeys. Joy.

Cultural does sound more fun, but physical was what fulfilled the requirement, so it is what I must take. Woot.

That's why the term "noble savage" bothered me. It seemed to imply that people who lived in tribes or "uncivilized" places were inferior. Europeans thought that the native Africans were "savages", but the Africans were the ones who were smelting iron and enjoying a good standard of living while Europe rotted from the Black Plague.

da hood has started to streamline things. There is now only 1 word for "to be" which is "is". Are and am are obsolete.

But yea, usually people bring that type of stuff up to refute it.

I can say this with a certain amount of authority because I just got accepted into graduate school to get a master's in anthropology. BOOYAH! :smug

I hate you.

I get it. Just seems a little rude the way it's put. That's probably just me though.
