Re: human division

There is already discussion about the irrelevance of race. While anthroplogical studies indicate various "norms" for bone stucture of various races, the lines are getting increasingly blurred. As little as 50 or 60 years ago it was reasonably easy to predict age, sex, and race on just skeletal remains. now the picture is becoming a bit cloudier. (Acording to William Bass in his book Death's Acre. A fascinating autobiography and history of forensic anthropology and his cration of the "Body Farm" to study human decomposition).

So we have already begun the homginization of the human species. There will probably always be "purists" and pockets of individuals trying to retain the integrity of their original culture, but as a whole, it is already starting.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
