"Exploring the Diversity of Human Culture: Insights from Anthropology"
Genomics, a subfield of genetics, involves the study of the complete set of DNA within a single cell of an organism. The human genome, specifically, contains all of the biological information needed to build and maintain a human being.
Descent and alliance remain vital constructs in the anthropological study of human societies, providing key insights into our understanding of kinship, family structures, and social relationships.
The Rh factor derives its name from the Rhesus monkey, in which Landsteiner and Wiener first observed the antigen. However, the Rh factor is present in humans and is independent of the Rhesus monkey's blood group system.
Twins are individuals who are born from the same pregnancy and share the same birth date. They are characterized by a close genetic relationship, as they typically originate from the fertilization of a single egg by a single sperm, which then splits into two embryos.
A Genetic disorder is like a typo in the instructions that tell your body how to grow, develop, and work. You know how a recipe has steps to tell you how to make a cake? Well, our bodies have something like that too. It's called our DNA.
Descent groups are social units wherein members share a claimed common ancestry. This commonality can be traced through various means - matrilineally (through the mother), patrilineally (through the father), or bilaterally (through both parents).
Double Descent refers to the sociocultural practice where descent is reckoned through both the mother's and the father's line. These dual systems are not haphazardly intertwined; they typically assign distinct roles and rights to each line.
A moiety system is a method of social division where a society is split into two complementary parts or 'halves,' commonly known as moieties. These halves or moieties serve to structure the society, directing social interactions, marriage rules, and religious responsibilities, to name a few.
Serogenetics is a term coined to describe the interdisciplinary study of serotonin, a neurotransmitter, and genetics.
This article examines the critical role anthropology plays in designing defence and other equipment to enhance their effectiveness in diverse cultural settings.
Genetic engineering, also known as genetic modification or manipulation, refers to the deliberate modification of an organism's genetic material using biotechnological techniques. It is a relatively young field, having first come into prominence in the latter half of the 20th century.
Complex Societies can be defined as human civilizations that exhibit advanced forms of social organisation, often characterised by centralised governance, social stratification, division of labour, technological Advancements, and cultural institutions.
