A Genderless World, or Society? Author(s): Elmas Sahin Indeed, we are all living in a world or society which is full with gender equality problems. We are aware of inequalities between both sexes almost in all over the world, it is the fact that  Women suffer from social, political, educational, cultural or economic discriminations, in both spheres of life from domestic to public despite of governmental regulations. Is a genderless world possible ? You can say this is an utopia or impossible, since Adam and Eve, from the first sin today, The world has been divided into two sexes who men are more superior to women. The thing I mean here is  genderlessness implies that actually equal opportunities should be offered to men and to women, there be no difference between women and men or girls and boys at home and outside, that is, in domestic and public fields. In order to create a genderless society or gender equity or equality in all societies firstly we have to give importance educatio

A DNA Genealogy Solution to the Puzzle of Ancient Look-Alike Ceramics across the World A VESSEL WITH THE SYMBOLIC IMAGE OF THE GREAT GODDESS FROM CUCUTENI A puzzling similarity has been observed in some of the ceramics and figurines in several cultures in Eastern Europe (the Trypillia-Cucuteni culture, 6500 – 5500 years before present [ybp]), Thailand (the Ban-Chiang culture, between 7400 and 3800 ybp), China (the Yangshao culture, between 8000 and 4000 ybp), North America (the Anasazi-Mogollon culture, between 7500 ybp and present time). It is remarkable that the ceramics of these four cultures match each other in 17 (45%) of the 38 indicators used to distinguish archeological ceramic piece in the comparative research. Remarkably, all four cultures with look-alike  ceramics also use the swastika as a common symbol. We advance the hypothesis that all four cultures are connected by the Aryan (bearers of R1a) migrations between 5500 and 3000 ybp. While the Aryan migrations in Eurasia ar

Eating for your genes We are a product of our genes and our environment. Greater understanding of the specific mechanisms whereby the food we eat modifies the expression of our genes will help us understand how we can eat for better health. How our individual genetic differences contribute to our varying responses to diet can help explain why a ‘one-size fits all’ approach to dieting doesn’t work. Michelle Thunders from College of Health , Massey University, discusses the importance of understanding the impact of food on our genome in  FNS   2013 vol.4  published by Scientific Research Publishing . Dietary recommendations are often generalized and intended to avert chronic illnesses such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In a climate where we are striving for personalization of healthcare maybe we need a simpler approach; one that embraces genetic variation yet focuses on the optimum nutritional benefit of dietary components.
