How did the maya measure time

History
1 answer:
scZoUnD [109]3 years ago
7 0
Among all peoples and in all ages the most obvious unit for the measurement of time has been the day, and the never-failing reappearance of light after each interval of darkness has been the most constant natural phenomenon with which the mind of man has had to deal. From the earliest times, successive returns of the sun have regulated the whole scheme of human existence. When it was light, the man worked; when it was dark, he rested. Conformity to the operation of this natural law has been practically universal.Indeed, as the primitive man saw nature, a day was the only division of time upon which he could absolutely rely. The waxing and waning of the moon, with its ever-changing shape and occasional obscuration by clouds, as well as its periodic disappearances from the heavens all combined to render that luminary of little account in measuring the passage of time. The round of the seasons was even more unsatisfactory.

What is one of the key indicators of primates' adaptability?
boyakko [2]
It's interesting that you posted your question in the history section of Brainly.  It qualifies in the category of "Big History," as some have termed it.  That term was coined by the scholar David Christian, whom I met once at a conference where he was a presenter.  His idea was that we look at "history" not just as what has happened in the recorded records of human beings, but look back at all that has occurred in the history of the universe.  So the "Big History" concept incorporates the story of evolution into its account of things.

As far as your specific question, a key indicator of primates' adaptability is that you see primates living in all sorts of different regions on the planet.  Snow monkeys live in cold regions of Japan where snow covers the ground many months of the year.  Howler monkeys live in the tropical rainforests of Brazil.  And there are other primates of all sorts in all sorts of climates and conditions.  That shows the adaptability of primates to survive and thrive in various circumstances.
