passé est omniprésent et dont le totémisme constitue l'un des aspects. Les êtres créateurs portent des noms d'animaux, de plantes ou, simplement, des noms tirés du monde minéral. Ces héros mythiques ou totems sont associés à des lieux, des sites auxquels ils ont donné leur nom et dont les hommes deviennent les gardiens. Certains rites sont donc destinés à retourner dans le «temps du rêve» et à renouveler des liens avec les êtres éternels. D'autres rituels, tels les rites funéraires ou les rites...

Animal - biology.
Vertebrates are customarily divided into cold-blooded and warm-blooded animals, but these labels are not very precise. Biologists normally use the terms ectoderm and endoderm to describe temperature regulation more accurately. An ectoderm is an animal whose temperature is dictated by its surroundings, while an endoderm is one that keeps its body at a constant warm temperature by generating internal heat. Reptiles, amphibians, and fish are ectoderms. Although they do not maintain a constant wa...

D-Day Invasion.
The Allied planners focused on the beaches around Caen and the Cotentin Peninsula in northern France rather than those of Calais, even though it meant the forcewould be crossing at a wider part of the English Channel.

Comparative Anatomy.
In comparing two species, anatomists have to be careful to differentiate between homologous structures, which are ones that have evolved from a shared ancestor, andanalogous structures, which have developed from different origins. Homologous structures are built on the same underlying plan. A human arm, a bat’s wing, and awhale’s flipper look quite different from the outside, but the bones inside reveal that these limbs all have the same basic structure. Analogous structures, by contrast,often l...

Water transport is thus of little importance in India. Barrages,...
