Renewal of structural anthropology through a new concept of knowledge origin 'The dynamic mixed origin' or 'The deepest remembering process
The first incentive leading to this study is to search for the origin and the nature of what Levis-Strauss meant by fundamental structures and/or hidden rules that contribute to the construction of languages and cultures within the principal idea of structural anthropology. This leads to rethink the process of knowledge origin that is still a matter of controversial debates. I propose the DNA as a physical source of these hidden innate structures…
Research problems in Biological Anthropology
Anthropology has as ambition the study of the whole of humanity. It includes several specialties and sub-specialties that, despite their differences, offer an overall perspective that requires a holistic research approach. In Biological Anthropology, one of its specialties, anthropologists study biological variations in contemporary human populations in order to reveal their characteristics and their genetic relationships and to try, on the basis…
Abir's Enlightenment Revolution is the basic element leading to the end of the corrupt regime resulting from the poisoned Tunisian revolution 2011
Ten years after the launch of its 2011 revolution, Tunisia has reached a catastrophic socio-economic situation that confirms that none of major goals of this revolution have been achieved. Here, from an anthropological analysis of major events happened during this decade I reveal and discuss mysteries of this revolution, and I show how and why it got to her final stage. I qualified it as 'poisoned‟ because of clandestine interventions from some f…
New insights into the processes of biological evolution and human reproduction provided through a dialogue between science and Qur'an
In this paper I present new insights into the processes of biological evolution and human reproduction in the light of a dialogue between the current scientific knowledge and Qur‟an verses. I demonstrate how this dialogue could provide new complementary information and a more comprehensive state of each of these two processes. After clearing up some confusions and uncertainties related to the biological evolution process I propose a new vision fo…
The miraculous dynamism of the Qur'an
The major miracle of the Qur‟an would reside in its ability to be virtuous, valid and worthwhile for all humans living at all times and everywhere. Here, I propose three major processes which would provide the basis for this dynamism peculiar to the Qur‟an. A detailed example of one of these processes related to the scientific signs is presented. It starts from a verse that can represent a metaphor whereby DNA is designated Salsal (Arabic word re…
UDP-glucuronosyltransferase genetic variation in North African populations
North African populations show a high frequency of carriers of UGT2B15 523Thr , a variant linked to an increased risk of prostate cancer. High Atlas Moroccans and Algerians show low frequency of UGT2B17 del , a variant associated with high concentrations of testosterone and oestradiol
New insights into human early embryo development
The experimental research on the subject of human early embryo development has been remained insufficient because of ethical norms and legal constraints. In this context, the carrying out of theoretical studies could speed up the slow knowledge progression on this subject. Thus, I present here a particular model of theoretical study based on a synthesis of selected published experimental results combined with what has been provided from my interp…
The Tunisian Revolution 'The free, youth revolution' from an anthropological perspective
In this paper I focus on the anthropological aspects of the Tunisian Revolution of 2011 showing how anthropology could offer several angles of insight into the study of this revolution, which represents a new model of political revolutions. I show that this revolution has three major particularities: the young age of the revolutionaries, the independence of their thought and action, and their nonviolence. These particularities would not remove it…
Population structure from NOS genes correlates with geographical differences in coronary incidence across Europe
OBJECTIVES: The population analysis of cardiovascular risk and non-risk genetic variation can help to identify adaptive or random demographic processes that shaped coronary incidence variation across geography. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this study, 114 single nucleotide polymorphisms and 17 tandem repeat polymorphisms from Nitric Oxide Synthases (NOS) regions were analyzed in 1686 individuals from 35 populations from Europe, North Africa, and the …
Man creation had began since the creation of the first biological material very likely in Clay
Among conclusions deduced from my recent deep study of holy Qur’an verses related to the topic of man creation, the man creation had begun a very long period of time before his emergence. It had begun with the creation of his earthy and clayey nature in clay. Very likely “his earthy and clayey nature” means the basic structures of his bio-molecules that, common to all living beings, are formed from elements (ions) present in soil and clay. Thus t…
Recent out of Yemen
It is generally accepted that the human evolutionary history was started in sub-Saharan Africa by the emergence of first individuals belonging to our genus Homo. But details of this evolution, particularly those of its last stage relating to the modern man (Homo sapiens sapiens) emergence, represent until now a controversial topic. Confusion and imprecision associated with certain concepts and definitions have accentuated this controversy and the…
Distinctive genetic signatures of Alu/STR compound systems revealed by analyses of Mediterranean and Middle East populations
The Middle East and Mediterranean represents one of the most ancient and largest areas of human civilization. Although several genetic studies have been carried out on certain regions of this area, it would be interesting to take advantage of additional global studies, including larger numbers of regions. In this paper we aim to expand previous genetic studies on populations from this area by investigating new populations and providing a global v…
Geographical and social influences on genetic diversity within the Egyptian population
This study provides new insights into the genetic structure of the Egyptian population living in a land bridge between Africa and Asia. Results suggest a genetic discontinuity between the Sinai population and that of the North African part of Egypt. This discontinuity would have been maintained thanks to geo-climatic and social factors
Ethnic composition and genetic differentiation of the Libyan population
Alu insertions are useful markers to contribute to the reconstruction of human population history at a microgeographic scale, in particular when the analyses include anthropologically well sampled populations. The present results provide new information to improve understanding some aspects of the complex peopling of North Africa
A theoretical ovary position in link with the global anatomical structure of each human female body
Generally the position of different organs is determined by simple description following the anatomical elements surrounded them and such description could be developed and applied in surgical anatomy. Here, I present for the first time a theoretical three-dimensional ovary position in link with the global anatomical structure of each human female body. I advance the fact that ovaries are placed between two anatomical planes: a first plane of a f…
Insights on the history of Anthropology
Before anthropology existed as a discipline, important grounding relating to different aspects of the study of humanity were present in many ancient writings of some Islamic Renaissance scholars in the wider Middle East such as Abu Rayhan al-Biruni, a Persian scholar (973-1048) and Ibn Khaldoun, a Tunisian scholar (1332-1406). In this paper I present briefly the scientific and cultural products of these scholars particularly those concerning anth…
Compatibility of the holy Qur'an with sciences
In holy Qur’an countless verses are related to topics on the nature and the universe. In this report I try to show how these verses carry scientific concepts taking as examples some of those relating to anthropological sciences. In one of these verses God “Allah”, speaking to scientists, presents signs to what we designate currently the coupled Cultural and Biological Anthropology using eloquent terms which represent a distinct abridgement “.....…
Original Synthetic Article
In spite of important anthropological data stored up to date, the recent human evolution is still a subject of great controversy. Here I present a revision of the definition of modern man and an attempt to estimate the date of his emergence. The anatomical feature criterion cannot be considered as a rigorous criterion for identified modern human fossils from those of earlier Homo peoples. This identification could be carried out indirectly from a…
New insights into the genetic history of Tunisians
North African populations show a substantial degree of genetic homogeneity, which may reflect the similarity of their origins, mainly when samples from large geographical areas are compared. The relative genetic homogeneity of the whole Mediterranean region probably reflects a common origin and/or remarkable levels of gene flow. However, this gene flow has not yet erased the differentiation between the two Mediterranean shores, as revealed by Alu…
