CANBERRA， March 9 (Xinhua) -- Neanderthals have been revealed to have had varied and sometimes vegetarian diets， while some also used plant-based medicines to treat illnesses， according to Australian-led research on Thursday.

Often thought of by many as simple "cave men" with only weak links to modern humans， Laura Weyrich from the Australian Centre for Ancient DNA has said analysis of Neanderthal dental plaque has revealed a varied and "modern-looking" vegetarian diet.

"It's a very， very different picture from the grunting， club-toting Neanderthal that we like to think about，" Weyrich told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) on Thursday.

"They were probably very intelligent， communicative and very in tune with what was going on around them."

Weyrich revealed that some families of Neanderthal， such as the El Sidron group from modern Spain， ate a diet comprised mostly of plants and vegetables available in the forest.

She said there was evidence of pine nuts， mushrooms， grass and moss in the plaque analysis from the El Sidron Neanderthals.

"So that's the true palaeo diet，" Weyrich said. "That's what people would have been eating in palaeolithic times if they lived in a forest like the El Sidron Neanderthal did."

In addition， Weyrich said the research uncovered evidence that Neanderthals used specific plants to try and treat a variety of illnesses， including using poplar bark - which happens to contain an active ingredient in Penicillium and aspirin - to counter the effects of gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhoea.

"So it is likely he would have been trying to self-medicate，" Weyrich said.

The Hindu philosophy of karma (deeds) and athma (soul) is what dictates the theory of past lives reincarnation and other births we may go through again and again and again.

The Hindu religious scriptures state that the soul does not die and merely changes form from one body to the next adidas superstar pride pack uk , just as you might acquire new clothes once you’ve worn out old ones.

This is a very different philosophy than that of Christianity, which centers around Christ’s resurrection.

According to the Hindus, the soul can take any form that of a man or a woman or even an animal; the karma or the deeds of a human being in his present life determine the kind of life that he will have to lead in his next birth.

There are several scriptures in the Hindu religion that talk extensively about past lives reincarnation; most notably among them is the Bhrigu Sanhita which apparently had an account of the past and future births of all living souls; however adidas superstar paint splatter uk , the scripture was lost over the centuries.

Dr. Ian Stevenson has the most compelling modern day account of rebirth, as represented in the data he collected. Modern science still pooh-poohs rebirth as a legitimate claim, so it can’t be stated that this is the most noted source of scientific information on past lives reincarnation as a theory. However http://www.superstarshoesuk.com/ , it’s the most famous and is extremely well documented because Dr. Stevenson was a psychiatrist and had a degree in medicine.

Dr. Stevenson didn’t put his patients under any kind of hypnosis or trance like state, unlike many modern day pass life regression therapist. Instead, he collected his data entirely from children who spontaneously recalled past life incidents.

Among them the most notifiable story is that of a 6yr old boy from a small village of Punjab claiming himself to be a man called Satnam Singh of Chakkchela.

The young boy had never lived or been to the village of Chakkchela where he claimed to have lived; he could describe the place with an alarming sense of clarity.

The boy’s family tried to dissuade him from making such statements adidas superstars womens , but he continued to claim that his name was Satnam, even going so far as to reveal the name of the man’s father. As Satnam, he said that he had been killed while coming home from school on his motorcycle.

This claim was investigated and it was absolutely found that there had been a man named Satnam Singh adidas superstar shoes , and he had been killed precisely as the boy said he had been. The young boy also revealed intimate details about the family, and these also checked out to be accurate. The most amazing part of this was when the handwriting of the young boy and the handwriting of the deceased man were compared, and were found to be absolutely identical.

Stevenson’s data also contains another startling case adidas superstar uk , that of little girl who was just three years old; she was named Swarnalata, but recalled being a young woman named Biya Pathak in a past life.

She went on to describe the house she had lived in and took her father to the property which had belonged to her in her past. She told her father that she had lived in the area and that they could get a better cup of tea in her house than on the road.

The most vital point came when the child recognized Biya’s brother and called him by his pet name from a crowd of 9 people.

Stephenson’s files contain dozens of these types of cases. He further states that when an injury is caused in one life, it can often manifest in the next life in the form of a birthmark http://www.superstarshoesuk.com/vans-classic-slip-on-black-white-wholesale.html , in the same location.

This was certainly true of a man from Thailand, who thought himself his own deceased maternal uncle, reincarnated into this life. He had a scar on his head that matched a knife wound the maternal uncle had died from in that specific area of the body.

Then http://www.superstarshoesuk.com/adidas-superstar-2-print-sale-black-white-shoes.html , there was the case of a boy claiming himself to remember his past life as a man called Maharam. The man was killed by close range shots to the chest, the boy had several birthmark like scars on his chest that looked just like gun shot wounds.

Many other psychologists and psychriatrists believe in this concept of past life reincarnation, among them is Dr. Brian Weiss http://www.superstarshoesuk.com/nike-air-force-1-flyknit-low-all-black-shoes-uk.html , who . Eduardo Portugal Jersey   Lassana Diarra France Jersey   Joe Hart England Jersey   Ivan Strinic Croatia Jersey   Frank Fabra Colombia Jersey   Oscar Brazil Jersey   Mousa Dembele Belgium Jersey   Lionel Messi Argentina Jersey   Gaston Ramirez Uruguay Jersey   Stephan Lichtsteiner Switzerland Jersey
