The Homology and Relationship of Human (Homo sapiens) Chromosomes 1, 19 and Dusky Langur (Trachypithacus obscurus) Chromosomes 6, 8 Demonstrated with Chromosome Painting

IN our communication to the Royal Society of Victoria of the 11th March, 1909 (1), describing our recent discovery of forty-two Tasmanian crania hitherto quite unknown to the world of science, we stated that “one of the earliest purposes to which it is proposed to utilise the present material is the determination of the relationship of the Tasmanian to the anthropoids and primitive man on the one hand, and to the Australian aboriginal on the other hand. Schwalbe's study of Pithecanthropus erectus (2) may serve as a basis for the former purpose, and Klaatsch's recent work (3) for the latter, though it must be remembered that innumerable authors have contributed to both subjects.” The present work is the fulfilment of the first part of this undertaking, namely, the determination of the relationship of the Tasmanian to the anthropoids and primitive man.

The Relationship

This paper discusses the relevance that exists in a cave used as a place of residence since the time of Neolithic. This archaeological site contains important artefacts that show modern civilization (homo sapiens) at the end of the Neolithic period. This research focuses on the cultural development of the ancient people through the discovery of artefacts in the Kain Hitam Cave. Preliminary findings show that ritual activities have been practised. Initial conclusions indicate that the ancient people practised animism. The linkages between the two aspects are essential in giving new insight into the cultural elements they were practising years ago.

Relationship Of

The article discusses the complex relationship between technology and its tools, education and its objectives. It is recognized that both areas are closely interwoven since the emergence of communication between people and the need to use tools for self-development (it is indicated that this phenomenon is not reserved exclusively for homo sapiens sapiens). The coexistence of both areas – education and technology is identified as crucial for the development of civilization, while raising the issue of their impassable incoherence resulting, inter alia, for other purposes (education retains, technology changes, education transfers information from the past to the present, technology transfers knowledge from the present to the future, etc.). All this makes the seemingly seeming relationship of technology and education as synergetic areas supporting civilization development. At the same time there is a relationship between technology and education manifesting itself in permanent cultural crisis between what is old and well known (defining education) and what is new and unpredictable (the support of technological development).

Plant Sources

Modern sophisticated archeometric instruments are increasingly capable of detecting the presence of psychoactive plant sources in archeological contexts, testifying the antiquity of humanity’s search for altered states of consciousness. The purpose of this article is to provide a general picture of these findings, covering the main psychoactive plant sources of the world, and identifying the most ancient dates so far evidenced by archeology. This review is based on the archeological literature identifying the presence of psychoactive plant sources, relying on original research documents. The research produced two main results: (a) a systematization of the types of archeological evidence that testify the relationship between Homo sapiens and these psychoactive sources, subdivided into direct evidence (i.e., material findings, chemical, and genetic) and indirect evidence (i.e., anthropophysical, iconographic, literary, and paraphernalia); and (b) producing a list of the earliest known dates of the relationship of H. sapiens with the main psychoactive plant sources. There appears to be a general diffusion of the use of plant drugs from at least the Neolithic period (for the Old World) and the pre-Formative period (for the Americas). These dates should not to be understood as the first use of these materials, instead they refer to the oldest dates currently determined by either direct or indirect archeological evidence. Several of these dates are likely to be modified back in time by future excavations and finds.

Indian Physician

The Himalaya is the treasure house of natural wealth, particularly of medicinal plants. The drugs from different plant species have been known to the Indian physician since long - long ago. A number of important herbal preparations are described in the Indian system of medicine i.e. the Ayurveda. Ayurveda has described in its text more than three thousand herbs and quite a large number of them are found in the Himalaya. The study of the intrinsic relationship of the Homo sapiens to plants, form the subject matter of Ethnobotany; if one goes carefully through the science of Ayurveda, in one perspective, one would find exactly a similar relationship between man and medicinal plants

Dynamic Formation

The place and significance of the works of Prof. A.P. Skovorodnikov in the dynamic formation of linguoecology is considered. The place of emotive linguoecology in it is shown. The responsibility of journalists for the formation of ecological psychological environment of society is emphasized. Allocated is the role of unecological createms in the information space. Formulated is the importance of a large number of problems highlighted by this science as the subject of its research. Named are the leading linguoecological schools and publications (printed and online). Indicated is the semiotic nature of many linguoecological situations and facts. Raised is the question of the importance of increasingly emerging linguoecological dictionaries. recorded are the results of new knowledge achieved by this science on the relationship of language, communicative practice and their ecology. Mentioned is the place of informational wars, as a result of which a negative ecological syndrome of modern both intra-and intercultural relations is formed. Particularly concerned in this work are the increasingly mentioned facts of the influence of media ecology on language consciousness and communicative personality transformation, from homo sapiens through the stage of homo sentiens into homo confusus. The natural conclusion of the whole article is the thesis that the foundation of many provisions of linguoecology, developed by different scientists within this interparadigmal area, founded by Prof. A.P. Skovorodnikov.
