What separates man from the animals?
Article Abstract:
Human beings are distinctly different from the rest of the animal kingdom in sexual characteristics and expression. The female menopause does not occur in any other species. It is thought to have evolved in humans to protect the aging female from death resulting from childbirth, exhaustion or other fatal conditions. Research shows that women are seven times more likely to die in childbirth if they are older than 40 years-of-age than when they are 20. The disproportionately large male penis in comparison to other species. This and other aspects are discussed.

A perversion of the human will for survival
Article Abstract:
An analysis of the factors that cause empires to rise and the issues that motivate one country to rise up and subordinate and impose its value systems on others. It is argued that the myth of conquest as liberation, of emancipatory imperialism, has proved to be a potent ideological talisman for many who have argued in favour of empire building - including those that bore the swastika into the Sudetenland, the hammer and sickle into Poland and the Stars and Stripes into Iraq - but that the awakening from this delusion has generally been violent.

No Incas in Hastings
Article Abstract:
Colonialism has been carried out by Europeans, and Asians have also spread across the globe. The indigenous peoples of Latin America were affected by disease, which killed some 95% of them. The Incas also did not use writing. Europeans had more domesticated animals and thus were more exposed to diseases. Animals could spread more easily across the same latitude in Eurasia than in Latin America. Farming allowed populations to increase and push hunter gatherers off land.
