sounds like the Badarians had a badass culture!

[facedown]

Interesting, bump.

[Red Badger]

They were eventually replaced by the Goodarians.......Who were then destroyed by the Mediocrearians......

Some of that prehistoric artwork looks better than anything hanging in the Museum of Modern Art.

[Red Badger]

That's because the person(s) who painted the ancient stuff was trying to convey a reality..........

Good to see the UAF mentioned again. The Gov's budget includes funding the university budget 17% over what was requested, with the university now looking at expanding the curriculum. The anthro dept. has been active inside Alaska, and will no doubt gain some more in the new budget. The Geophysical Institute has been partly funded from international corporate funds and partly from Fed and State funds and is a significant scientific and academic institution for arctic studies worldwide.

So why do the bottom two boats have radio/TV antennas but the leaders boat doesn't?

The Egyptians have reverted to the stone age, IMHO.

These items often included doll-like female figurines with exaggerated sexual features, thought to possibly symbolize rebirth.

Symbolizing rebirth. Right. Or maybe it is used to symbolize fertility. Right.

How about they tell the truth for a change? Guys like to look at gals with big ones. It is no great mystery, it is not a big religious thing (well, for some it is). This is why Hooters is successful. Guys like curvy gals. That's it. No need for a doctoral thesis to figure it out.

Except that it was the lower half that was exaggerated. The hips were considered the part that made a woman most desirable. They still are in the ME (and one of the things I love about the culture ;) )

[Dustbunny]

Neat !!

[wyattearp]

They still are in the ME (and one of the things I love about the culture ;) )

And in Africa, and South America, and Central America, and the Arctic, and India...

Only in Europe and the West, and only very recently, has the idea of slim hips in a woman been considered attractive. Nearly everywhere else, a size 5 woman is looked upon as being unhealthy, infertile, and too fragile.

I'm not saying where I stand on the issue. ;-)
