LIBERTY University Interpretive Question 1 Does “day” mean a 24-hour period or ages? A Research Paper Submitted to Dr. scott phillips School of RELIGION by SCOTT r. REICHERT LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA September 10, 2013 Interpretive Question 1 Does “day” mean a 24-hour period or ages? In Coogan’s The Old Testament, A Historical and Literary Introduction to the Hebrew Scriptures, the author makes the statement that it is important to remember the cultural influence as well as the genre of the message from scripture. Coogan relates that the knowledge at the time of this writing relating to the universe was geocentric. However, it is important to realize they were writing a religious document, not a scientific one.
The stone played an important role in the development of human life from ancient times. The stone is omnipresent and it is never given much importance. It has its role in technology, science and politics. (Hass,2008) Hass gives the example of a hammer in order to give an example of the use of stones in technology. Hass says that the stone-age hammer is now begin changes to steel hammer but the idea and the purpose remain the same .Hass(2208) support this key point of science by saying that “stone have taught us the shift in magnetic poles, and where to look for oil and metals”(p.57).Hass gives the use of the stone in politics; war, in metallurgy and in modern technology.

Anthropology 120G: Human Ancestors This essay will discuss how the modern interpretation of evolution works, and the implications it has for the way humans look at themselves and other species. Natural Selection Natural selection is “the process that produces adaptation.”[Boyd, R & Silk, J. (2006). How humans evolved. United States of America.]
It is though understood by most researchers that the huge heads and a number of other sculptures represent their leaders. However, they have not yet found anything to document regarding leadership like the case with Maya society, which named the exact leaders and provide their respective reigning dates. Alternatively, archaeologists had to depend on the little information gathered to document the community’s social systems. This information provided indication of substantial centralization within the Olmec region, first at La Venta and then San Lorenzo. No other Olmec locations come close to these in terms the amount and superiority of structural designs and architecture.
A probable reason for the scarcity of technological evidence from the Middle Paleolithic compared to the Upper Paleolithic is that the Neandertals simply had no need for manufacturing more. The required tools needed to survive were the extent of the Neandertal productions. The Upper Paleolithic found more satisfaction from having elaborate or numerous sets of equipment, while Neandertals seemed to have commonly needed only what was fundamentally
They lived in a time when Norfolk’s landscape featured sabre-tooth tigers and mammoths. It is likely that they were also cannibalistic, based on the cut marks of their bones found on the northern coastline of Norfolk. While there is no evidence of homo antecessor living in North West Norfolk, an exciting prehistoric discovery in 1998 shows that a sophisticated stone-age people was living in the region
This period is best known as the era during which the Neanderthals lived in Europe and the Near East (c. 300,000–28,000 years ago). Their technology is mainly the Mousterian, but Neanderthal physical characteristics have been found also in ambiguous association with the more recent Châtelperronian archeological culture in Western Europe and several local industries like the Szeletian in Eastern Europe/Eurasia. There is no evidence for Neanderthals in Africa, Australia or the Americas. Neanderthals nursed their elderly and practised ritual burial indicating an organised society. The earliest evidence (Mungo Man) of settlement in Australia dates to around 40,000 years ago when modern humans likely crossed from Asia by island-hopping.
During the history of mankind, there have been few inventions that have had such an impact on technological growth and human advancement. The wheel was one of these inventions. However, one of the most fascinating things about Mesoamerican history is that the Olmec and their successors used the wheel, but never for transportation. Mann explains in his novel how a team of archaeologists found many animal toys with wheels attached to them but the wheels were used for nothing more than entertainment. With this, it is only right to question if the society was truly advanced.
