Topic: Human kind


  
  Human - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Human evolution is characterized by a number of important physiological trends, including the expansion of the brain cavity and brain itself, which is typically 1,400 cm³ in volume, over twice that of a chimpanzee or gorilla (compare capacities).
Humans study the more physical aspects of the mind and brain, and by extension of the nervous system, in the field of neurology, the more behavioral in the field of psychology, and a sometimes loosely-defined area between in the field of psychiatry, which treats mental illness and behavioral disorders.
Humanism is a philosophy which defines a socio-political doctrine the bounds of which are not constrained by those of locally developed cultures, but which seeks to include all of humanity and all issues common to human beings.

The human ancestors therefore were those, which maintained the upright stance and eventually developed the necessary musculature to stand and move upright and had legs fit for walking on the ground.
By the principle of natural selection this new kind of behaviour was gradually improved, and in order to perform the various soundings with the exactness, which was necessary to be distinguished, the power of controlling the vocal cords, the lips, tongue, and jaw was improved.
Human therefore cannot be said to have arisen at a certain place in the world; they evolved gradually in still greater distances from the original resorts, and the more they migrated from their original sites to uncomfortable territories which made greater demands on their particular human qualities, speech and inventiveness, the more human they became.

 Blas' Personal Page: A Cleansing of Human Kind
He believes in the ultimate good of humanity and he is especially distressed by the multiple versions of the samurai's death he hears, all of which contradict each other.
During the rain, the priest has serious doubts as to the condition of human kind while the woodcutter is in a state of disbelief that everyone would lie about the murder as they did.
The woodcutter, and human kind as a whole, now that the priest can have faith in his fellow man, has been purified.

 Exterminating Human-Kind
Technology becomes increasingly responsible for feeding, clothing, watering, housing and disposing the waste of the ballooning human population, effectively masking the fact that by this time it has become completely unsustainable, like Wile E. Coyote still running, unaware that he has run off the cliff and is about to plunge to the desert floor.
We are starting from a fortunate position in that humans evolved in small tribal groups and are emotionally unable to relate to the notion of global extinction.
After a few thousand years of hard work, you should be able to sit back and watch as the human population approaches doomsday numbers (about x billion) and natural disasters, especially famines, droughts and epidemic diseases start to decimate the population.

 "Life" does not equal "human kind" - Above Top Secret Conspiracy Community
Humans may be unable to stay here at a point in time because of the damage we caused the planet and we'll go extinct or have to move on to a new location.
Life doesn't end when human kind goes extinct, we are only a small bit of the big puzle and if we go extinct, maybe "life" in general will even be better of then with us present.
Humans account for nearly nothing in the full scale of all life on the planet.

There is a more digestible introduction to the concept at www.un.org/rights/morerights.htm pointing out that human rights, be they concerning sexual equality or the right to freedom from torture, are a work in progress and intended to be a standard to which we can aspire.
The human rights pressure group Amnesty International has been campaigning on behalf of the world's oppressed people since 1961.
Established in 1978, the group's mission is to create a "secure and humane world by advancing justice, human dignity and respect for the rule of law".

 Eschatology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eschatology (from the Greek έσχατος meaning "last" + -logy) is a part of theology and philosophy concerned with the final events in the history of the world or the ultimate destiny of human kind, commonly phrased as the end of the world.
The distinction also has theological significance, for the "end times" in many religions may involve the destruction of the planet (or of all living things), but with the human race surviving in some new form, ending the current "age" of existence and beginning a new one.
More recently, many involved in futures studies and transhumanism note the accelerating rate of scientific progress and anticipate a technological singularity in the 21st century that would profoundly and unpredictably change the course of human history.

 Tower Records - Human Kind - Weirdo Boyfriend
On the cover of Weirdo Boyfriends's first album,"Human Kind," is a very sad photo of a duck trapped in a tiny cage and covered in his own vomit.
That, of course, doesn’t prevent large numbers of said humans from slaughtering these humorous creatures for “sport.” Grown men, with more food at home than they can possibly consume, don sillyass hunting togs and hide in “duck blinds” to ambush these harmless, beautiful creatures and blow them out of the sky with shotguns.
Then there are those aforementioned subhumans who torture these humorous creatures so that other alleged humans can preen themselves on their “good taste.” Ramming corn meal down the gullet of a choking duck or goose, force-feeding it till its liver becomes bloated with disease, doesn’t bother these humans at all.

The phenomenon of milk-swigging religious statues is a very human one.
It is humans who become excited (mass hysteria) humans who are too easily led into credulity, humans who can examine the stone of the statue to see of absorption can occur by capillary action.
Indian humanist [2]s were quick to criticise the human gullibility that allowed the spread of the allegedly supernatural phenomenon.

 Robin Hahnel, One Giant Step Backward for Human Kind
In the world's most populous and oldest civilization, where the last decadent dynasty had given way to warlordism and foreign domination, an ambitious, uncorrupted government whose power was uncontested anywhere on mainland China launched a social revolution which eventually failed for reasons I do not propose to discuss here.
Unfortunately, China's headlong rush into capitalism is reversing these wise public policies with far reaching consequences for the rest of humanity as well as the Chinese.
And the population bomb, where parents sought to provide for their own eldercare in a context of high infant mortality and no public assistance for those too old to work, ticked louder and more ominously in China than anywhere else.

 The Future of Human Kind in the Next Milennium
Human evolution is remarkable in that it was punctuated by several major CULTURAL upheavals.
It is ironic that we have such detailed knowledge of almost everything in the universe on every conceivable scale, the solar system, distant galaxies, fl holes, atoms, molecules, string theory, DNA, heredity, the mechanisms of life etc but know almost nothing about the organ that made all these discoveries.
By asking the right kinds of questions and doing the right kinds of experiments we can begin to answer these lofty questions which have until now remained the preoccupation of philosophers.

 rabble news - everyone's a critic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Even a cursory look at the macabre and farcical circumstances surrounding the disappearance and search for the dozens of women police now believe were murdered by Robert Pickton flies in the face of wistful imaginings of a concerned, nurturing community.
With the yawning void left by sixty-five women staring us in the face, we yearn to believe that standing opposed to this kind of inexplicable chaos is something solid and true we can cling to.
We need that solid and true thing to be, above all, human — controvertibly and undeniably human, the same way a small, balding man nicknamed Willy appears human, despite the mounting, horrific evidence.

 Western People: Davitt champion of human kind   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
THE impact Michael Davitt had as a champion of the less well off was underlined by President Mary McAleese when she visited the Davitt Museum at Straide last week.
"He was a champion of human kind, suffering, marginalised humankind whom he reached out to at the four corners of the world," she added.
The President paid tribute to the committee who originally set out to restore Davitt's grave at Straide, and went on to layer up their objectives, culminating in a fine museum in the restored penal church, a short distance from where he was born.

The January 16, 1989 issue of the Honolulu Star Bulletin had a little article about an anthropologist named Wilson who claimed his genetic research showed that the capacity for language was traced to a single woman who lived in Africa 200,000 years ago.
Dr. Louis Leake and others have proven within the last generation that all of humanity and the first burst of civilization traces back to the Oldavai gorge of Eastern Africa, the upper Nile.

 blogrunner: Close Encounter of the Human Kind   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
I've been a fan of Verghese's since I read his memoir My Own Country: A Doctor's Story some years ago.
In the early 1980s, Verghese, an immigrant doctor from India (via east Africa), cared for AIDS patients in rural Tennessee -- when most people thought AIDS was some kind of gay cancer, and when no one in Tennessee thought the disease could be present in their state (it was, of course).
In addition to caring for people with AIDS, Verghese took it upon himself to educate the public about the dangers of the disease, which included visiting gay bars (in the daytime) to hold seminars on the transmission of AIDS...
