I already said what I wanted to say.

Maybe I am then, if that's what this site is all about. That's a ridiculous statement though.

Still, he's argument was based on observation, while yours was partially based on God, even if joking: But I guess this is you just being defensive. And, please, avoid speculations in your arguments...

Not wanting to be accused of "Aristotleist" or something (although he is a reference to me), here's what Aristotle himself wrote about the subject: "Since the time of generation is commonly limited within the age of seventy years in the case of a man, and of fifty in the case of a woman, the...

Quick correction: Although theoretical possible, of course neither calendar could express infinite time, since it is assumed the solar system had a beginning and will have an end, and therefore so has the orbit of the earth around the sun. So, practically, they cannot express infinite time, but...

Having said that, I would like to hear from the Forum Moderator responsible for the Anthropology and Ethnography section, if possible.

Well Angela, it was indeed difficult to choose a Forum section. However, the sub-title of the Anthropology and Ethnography section is called "Human variations, evolution, adaptability, neuropsychology, ethnic and cultural studies.", which helped me to interpret it as the correct section. Is this...

"Loop Year Calendar" These are just some reflections. From some time now I have been thinking about the idea of a “Loop Year Calendar”, and now I finally have the time to write it on paper. I am not sure if there is such a defined concept already, but I will try to explain. I am referring to a...

I agree, it is indeed a good place to freely exchange ideas. (sorry for the off-topic though)

Hi! I would advise you to talk to the J2-L24 FTDNA Project Admin. Have you done the 37/67/111 marker /Big Y test? Maybe you could find a new branch under the CTS3601 line. As to the origin, it has been suggested Anatolia, as it seems it is where it is more diversed (although suggested...

I'm not sure I understand your question. Could the missing link in your thought lie in the food-chain? Quickly reading through wikipedia, mammoths may have disappeared due to environmental factors or to said food-chain factors. I guess the (pre-)domesticated animals were also favoured by our...

They were not indeed domesticated animals before humans domesticated them, so they must have had their own surviving skills, just like the preys of today's lions, etc. I imagine they were also different in size and shape contrasting to today's domesticated figure. To answer the question, they...

I gave you a thumbs up but mistakenly, as I wanted to give you a thumbs down for your comment. I fail to see the utility of this argument. You could at least make a rational effort… I do agree that Europeans are racist, including to each other – as the statements of the current president of...
