Explain the Evolutionary Theory, and how it is depicted in Apocalypto.
Andrej [43]

Answer:

First, it is important to establish what the Theory of Evolution is, and then, we will talk about the movie Apocalypto, to finally see how these two come together.

The Theory of Evolution was first proposed scientifically by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace in the middle of the 19th century. From its beginning, this theory has shaped how we see the evolution of the species and why certain characteristics and traits, contained in genetic material, will not be passed on to other generations. Essentially, then, the Theory of Evolution is precisely that, it is a scientific explanation as to how species have evolved through time, what has caused them to evolve, and what has shaped them to be as they are in the present. This Theory explained such ideas as natural selection, the inheritance of genetic traits through the passage of time, the effects of the environment of inheritance, biodiversity, and why certain species have changed so much, diversified so much, even if they have common ancestry.

Apocalypto, now, is the movie that was produced by Mel Gibson and which was launched in 2016. This movie depicts the initiation of the fall of the great Mayan empire, driven to its end by nature: the draught, political and social corruption and finally, disease and chaos brought on by the contact between Indian tribes, including the Mayas, and the Spanish.

Although not directly related with one another, in a manner that we can say that Apocalypto portrays the Theory of Evolution, it does hint at what the theory implies. The Mayans were a pretty evolved civilization, but their structures depended on the lands where they lived, and its resources, and when drought came, they were not capable of adapting so that in the end, this event led to the end of the Empire. Apocalypto depicts the effects of that drought and it shows the end of the civilization, even if it cannot be said that evolutionarily speaking, the Mayans became extinct. The movie also depicts the effects of disease; Mayans had never been exposed to such European diseases as measles, and therefore, when they did come in contact, the disease decimated the population. To the extent that when the Spanish arrived, they were able to race the Empire to the ground with small numbers. Apocalypto also depicts this detail when Jaguar Paw and the captives see the trail of people who are dying sick. It also depicts the coming in contact of the two worlds.

So even if we cannot directly say that the two are connected, we can establish that some of the principles that determine evolution, and natural selection, are present inherently in the movie Apocalypto.

Answer:

                                      Farming into Change

   The Neolithic Revolution marked a dramatic shift in how people-built societies. People transitioned from a nomadic lifestyle of hunting and gathering to one based on agriculture and communities.  The realization that farming and herding would be more useful was a crucial turning point in the growth of agriculture during this century.  Animals would be able to acquire enough water and agriculture would be hydrated if their civilizations were built near rivers. Civilizations were able to settle down and stay in one spot near a significant water source because of these developments.  Civilizations were given the ability to evolve into more efficient societies by living near a healthy source of water.

    Mesoamerica, the Andean Region, Fertile Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, and the Indus River Valley were the primary civilizations that initiated this significant agricultural transformation. The potential to have work specialties arose because of these additional locations.  People were able to trade the things they created in their work with those around them, which helped the economy thrive, by allowing people to specialize in jobs like farming wheat and weaving garments.  They liked the specializations of their new occupations, as well as the fact that they were able to stay in one place and earn a living.

    The ability to allow civilizations to remain in the same place was a fundamental change brought about by the Neolithic Revolution.  Cities were able to flourish because of this transformation because people were able to thrive and grow in one spot rather than needing to pick up and relocate.  We can see development in cities in the following periods, as well as sources of food and resources.  Today, we still apply the concept of job specialization to assure societal efficiency.

What is significant about the text of the oath giving the person taking it a choice between the words "swear” and "affirm?"​
DaniilM [7]
An oath is a verbal promise to tell the truth made while holding the Bible. A witness may choose to swear an oath on another relevant religious text. An affirmation is a verbal, solemn and formal declaration, which is made in place of an oath. A person may choose to make an affirmation rather than taking an oath. It’s making sure they promise not to break it and if they do they have their own words against them.
