  • How do Namibian Himbas see colour?

    Jump

  • Basic Color Terms: Their Universality and Evolution (1969; ISBN 1-57586-162-3) is a book by Brent Berlin and Paul Kay. Berlin and Kay's work proposed that the basic color terms in a culture, such as black, brown, or red, are predictable by the number of color terms the culture has.

    Berlin and Kay posit seven levels in which cultures fall, with Stage I languages having only the colors black (dark–cool) and white (light–warm). Languages in Stage VII have eight or more basic color terms. This includes English, which has eleven basic color terms. The authors theorize that as languages evolve, they acquire new basic color terms in a strict chronological sequence; if a basic color term is found in a language, then the colors of all earlier stages should also be present. The sequence is as follows:

    Stage I: Dark-cool and light-warm (this covers a larger set of colors than just English "black" and "white".)

    Stage II: Red

    Stage III: Either green or yellow

    Stage IV: Both green and yellow

    Stage V: Blue

    Stage VI: Brown

    Stage VII: Purple, pink, orange, or gray

  • Those orbs were once clearly visible to the naked eye here on earth on a near daily basis, usually around the Star and Sun, but are they anomalous or a natural phenomenon?

  • I can not remember very many words containing a Z in their spelling...But seemingly those words spelled with an S are now the alternative!

    eg: cognisant ...Alternative spelling of cognizant.

    I suppose it is down to the manufacturers of this educative literature to provide the meaning, whether these educators be artificial, extraterrestrial , subterranean, intelligent or otherwise....Just ask Google 👽

    I hope you have a most excellent day... This is if 24 hours is still called a day? 😁😁

  • The most logical way to remain unidentified I would say.

    A goodly percentage of my fellow earthlings carry no ID either, only computer literate juveniles have appropriate identification in this part of the cosmos, and only when they are in search of an alcoholic beverage. The thing is, their identification is guaranteed to be bogus, your average Mr Adam Adamant over here could well be from Jupiter!

    It is best to remain unidentifiable here on planet earth, as I suppose is the case in many parts of the universe..

    You have a most excellent day now, on whatever planet you inhabit 😄😁

  • The cosmic vibrations oozing from the world wide web of ectoplasm are hinting that perhaps you may just not be overly enthused by the calibre of mystical and mysterious articles of unknown origin being posted to this community ..mmmm?

    OK..What about a crop circle then?.. Crop circles are relatively harmless, unless you are a stalk of grain that is, would a report on one of these brighten your day?

    If so..How's about two crop circles?

    Yip, there have been two new crop circles reported in Wiltshire recently... Are crop circles any better?

    If not, there are rumours that an Abominable Big Foot thingy has been sighted around the Midlands, and don't forget we always have Nessie, come on who doesn't like to hear a ripping good yarn about The Beastie? 🙄😁

  • What about werewolves then?

    The Daily Star is carrying an article claiming that there is an eight foot tall werewolf lurking in some bushes near Bridlington!

    Quote:

    The eerie image shows what appears to be an 8ft-tall shadowy figure emerging from a ridge with a strange glow around its head.

    It looks like any other common or garden everyday average Joe strolling past a gap in the bushes to me, but hey, who am I to decide what makes a fantastical tale newsworthy? Anyway, what more could you possibly ask for in a news headline?.. Expert opinion, ominous warnings, werewolves and bushes.. Boo! 😄😁
