    Archaeology & Anthropology- Juniper Publishers Introduction In Mexico the tradition of cockfighting is present in the states of Aguascalientes, Campeche, Chihuahua, State of Mexico, Hidalgo, Jalisco, Michoacan, Puebla, San Luis Potosi, Veracruz, Yucatan, Zacatecas and no state animal protection law establishes a prohibition for it [1]. The fights of roosters have different conceptions: sport, hobby, business or show, game of chance, bet, cultural and social element; and they are very controversial because they can generate passion or disapproval of the modern Mexican population [2,3]. So, it is not convenient to rate them; however, this activity is a social reality and widely spread. Go to Combat Birds and the Fighting Spirit Since the combat birds and man began their interaction, the association has been made to the incitement in man of the need to fight until the last drop of blood is lost; for example, the Spartans showed young fighters fighting or brawling as an ex...

Archaeology & Anthropology -  Juniper Publishers Opinion To state the obvious, the sentiment of love plays an extremely important role among human beings. Throughout the world, there is romantic love and there is parental love and there is the love between siblings and there is the is love between friends. Of course, one can ask whether one form of love is more significant than the other forms. Alas, a quite significant truth is that if any one of the forms of love mentioned were completely absent among human beings, then it would be unequivocally true that owing to the absence of the form of love in question, there would clearly be a quite substantial difference in the behavior of human beings that would reflect the absence of that form of love. Regardless of the type of love, the very nature of love at its very best is the genuine affirmation that is clearly a majestic display of that love. And while it is certainly the case that a person can occasiona...

Archaeology & Anthropology -  Juniper Publishers Introduction The arrival of modern medical sciences and new inventions in the field of health has immensely benefitted human beings all over the world. But despite these successes in the field of sciences, there are communities in parts of the world who are reluctant to maintain their well-being through modern medicine. Their approach towards health is not just a matter of concern in the continuum of health and illness; rather it is entangled with their whole system of ethos and ideals. This paper explores the approach of the Manica community in central Mozambique towards the health issues of diarrhoea. Following, this paper discusses: a. The burden of diarrhoea in Mozambique and the World Health Organization’s (WHO) initiatives to eradicate this problem. b. ‘Beliefs’ as an eccentric component to modern medicine and an integral component in world-view of a community; and c. The pollution theory amongst Manicans. Al...

Archaeology & Anthropology -  Juniper Publishers Summary From a graphic point of view, smiles are prior to tears. While the smiles are documented in human graffiti from the Paleolithic period (Middle Magdalenian), tears are documented much later, in animals of post paleolithic periods. These data help us to make a few reflections about our way of seeing art, which may be influenced by our culture, too serious, for a few graphs that are not so much. Keywords: Smile; Laughter; Paleolithic art; Evolution The smile of Bourdois The figure reproduced below is a cave engraving of the Bourdois shelter, located in the Vienne, France. They will agree with me that at first glance it does not seem to have anything of particular. It is a small human face endowed, of course, with a broad smile [1]. But, if we consider that the spelling in question is 15,000 years old, the thing changes, and the impression that the smile produc...
