How has modern technology changed the military powers of the executive and legislative branches of government.
Q. I am working on an essay for my AP Government class. We had to first pick 2 presidents in office between the years of 1960 and 2000 and choose 3 examples of why we feel that they were a great president. I have answered most of the question that were assigned for this essay but am having trouble answereing the above question. Any help can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Asked by Stupendous Man! - Sun Apr 2 22:02:01 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Hasn't changed one bit. The President only makes war with the approval of Congress. In the President's role as Commander in Chief he would act to protect the country and its interests in times of emergency. This does not give him the authority to ignore the Constitution he takes an oath to defend and protect. Wiretaps still need the judicial branch. Technology in terms of nukes, rockets and airplanes is the biggest change.

Is it possible that some modern day humans have Neanderthal ancestry?
Q. I have read that it has been shown that Homo sapiens sapiens and Homo sapiens neaderthalis evolved from separate branches, and so modern day humans aren't descended from Neanderthals. However, believe it or not, I have seen some people who look a lot like Neanderthals. As a matter of fact, a guy I knew in high school automatically comes to mind. He had an overhanging brow, extremely high cheekbones, a small chin, a stocky body, and a distinctive gait. Is it possible that at some point Neanderthals interbred with Homo sapiens sapiens?
Asked by tangerine - Tue Aug 19 10:11:20 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It's possible, but we can't prove it. Some anthropologists suspect that populations in northern Europe did interbreed to a small extent. There's no smoking gun evidence -- no Neanderthal mitochondria, no Neanderthal Y chromosome, in human beings that anyone's pointed to yet. Your friend in high school might have a slight case of acromegaly, or a partial chromosomal duplication. Or he might be descended from Neanderthals. *shrug*

Q. I'm chinese american and have been spending some time in asia. I just returned from a trip to korea...where I found the majority of the people to bear an indistinguishable (at least to me) physical resemblance to the chinese.

A. In a lot of ways, we are short-circuiting natural selection. People with health problems that would've been fatal in the past are producing offspring. That's part of the reason why more and more people need eye glasses (for example). What would happen if something (like nanotechnology or gene therapy) was developed that could drastically lengthen the human life span? Say, to 500 years? I can easily see this leading to speciation. The technology would only be available to the very rich. They would provide the treatment for their offspring, who would then be effectively immortal. They would have so much time to amass wealth and power that they would literally be in a different world. The gap between the rich and the poor would become… [cont.]

A. Straight Chain Low "The octane rating of gasoline tells you how much the fuel can be compressed before it spontaneously ignite. It is only a measure of the fuel's resistance to autoignition. It is for this reason that one highly branched form, or isomer, of octane (2,2,4-trimethylpentane) has (by definition) an octane rating of 100, whereas n-octane (see octane), which has a linear arrangement of the 8 carbon atoms, has an octane rating of -10, even though the two fuels have exactly the same chemical formula and virtually identical heating values and flame speeds" Good Luck

What is the first responsiblity of literary criticism?
Q. I few years ago, I came across the remarkable assertion that "modern literary theory has three branches: Marxism, Freudianism, and feminism." Is that true? Or do most literary critics believe that their first responsiblity is to make an honest attempt to understand the author's intent, and that it would be dishonest to set down any other commentary without first fulfilling that initial responsiblity?
Asked by Ray Eston Smith Jr - Wed Mar 21 13:28:21 2007 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Reading literary criticism of an author's work can be enlightening and enriching. Reading the work of critics helps us to understand the author's intent and teaches us to eventually to be able to discern that intent ourselves--it teaches us to read between the lines. If you really want to learn to appreciate ,say, a poem, read criticisms by more than one critic. That way, you get several different points of view. There were a lot of books written in the early to mid-20th century dealing with Marxism, (Ayn Rand--anti Marxist), Freudianism and feminism. These authors intended to further their beliefs and agendas by putting them into a fictional work. In this way they garnered sympathy for their causes. The easiest example is the story… [cont.]

Q. within the evolutionary branch of modern humans. Does mitochondria have anything to do with it?
Asked by cyn - Fri Nov 14 18:14:32 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. They sequenced the hypervariable region of the mitochondria and it shows they are about 600,000 years removed. That means we share a common ancestor that long ago. It is by far the most reliable evidence possible besides that and the entire genome for determining how close they are to us. There is no evidence against that i am aware of. Some scientists even call them Homo sapiens neaderthal. Their brains are the size of ours or even a little larger and they have quite advanced technology so few people doubt they are closely related. Some religious people probably think they are just people but I don't consider religious arguments equivalent to evidence.
