| | | | | Ancestors: Encyclopedia II - Berber - Origin There is no complete certitude about the origin of the Berbers; however, various disciplines shed light on the matter.
Berber - Genetic evidence.
While population genetics is a young science still full of controversy, in general the genetic evidence appears to indicate that most northwest Africans (whether they consider themselves Berber or Arab) are predominantly of Berber origin, and that populations ancestral to the Berbers have been in the area since the Upper Paleolithic era. The genetically predomina ...

| | | | | Ancestors: Encyclopedia II - Sly Cooper - Story Sly is a young raccoon who is descended from a long line of master thieves. He grew up an orphan after his father was killed by a gang known as the Fiendish Five. This gang also stole the Thievius Raccoonus, a book containing the Cooper family's thieving techniques. Sly's quest to recover his family's book is the basis for the first game.
Sly's primary weapon in the games is his family's cane, which is a brown stick ending in the shape of a "C" at the top, presumably to stand for "Cooper". It can also be portrayed as a question mark, which ...

Fornjót - In the Gylfaginning.
Logi appears by that name in the Gylfaginning in the tale of Thor's journey to the halls of Útgard-loki where he was pitted against Logi in an eating contest. The contestants appeared to be equal in speed at eating meat from the bone, but Logi also consumed the bones as well and even the wooden trencher. Útgard-loki afterwards explained that Logi was really fire itself.

| | | | | Ancestors: Encyclopedia II - Fornjót - More traditions about persons named Frosti and Logi In the Ynglinga saga the names Logi and Frosti are otherwise connected when it relates that King Agni of Sweden in a raid on Finland killed Frosti, the leader of the Finns who opposed him and captured Skjálf, Frosti's daughter, and her brother Logi. (But the verse of the Ynglingtal quoted here as confirmation says only that Skjálf is Logi's kin.) For Skjálf's marriage to Agni and her vengeance on him see Agni. Agni himself, as discussed under Snær, is here a descendant of Snær through Snær's daughter Drífa who married King Vanlandi of Sweden.

Indeed, the movement officially taught a strict moral code, which included the prohibition of adultery and other moral offenses. Such offenses would be rectified by fines levied by the leaders of the movement. To discover who had committed any sin, these leaders organized divining ceremonies which involved a very large log, held by several men, which was said t ...

There are various ideas concerning the origin of the Forbes surname, but the one most accepted is that the name was first assumed by a man named Ochonchar, from Ireland, who slew a ferocious bear in the district of Forbear. Forbear became spelled and pronounced as Forbes.

Genetic genealogy - Paternal and maternal lineages.
The two most common types of genetic genealogy tests are the Y-DNA (paternal line) and mtDNA (maternal line) genealogical DNA tests. These tests involve the comparison of the DNA of one individual to that of another to scientifically determine how many generations ago the two individuals shared their most recent common ancestor. These tests allow two individuals to determine with 99.9% certainty that they are related within a certain time frame, or with 100% cer ...

| | | | | Ancestors: Encyclopedia II - Evolution of cetaceans - Ambulocetids and remingtonocetids The most remarkable of the recent discoveries in Pakistan has been Ambulocetus, which looked like a three-metre long mammalian crocodile. Ambulocetus was clearly amphibious, as its back legs are better adapted for swimming than for walking on land, and it probably swam by undulating its back vertically, as otters, seals and whales do. It has been speculated that Ambulocetids hunted like crocodiles, lurking in the shallows to snatch unsuspecting prey.
A smaller cousin of Ambulocetus was the remingtonocetid family, ...

For centuries, humans had experimented with what would become the two key elements of cinema: the projection of images using light (such as with the camera obscura and the Magic lantern); and the illusion of motion created by exploiting the optical phenomenon called "persistence of vision" (such as with the zoetrope, introduced in the 1830s). The invention and spread of photography in t ...

| | | | | Ancestors: Encyclopedia II - Berber - The Arabization of Northwest Africa Before the 9th century, most of Northwest Africa was a Berber-speaking area. The process of Arabization only became a major factor with the arrival of the Banu Hilal, a tribe sent by the Fatimids of Egypt to punish the Berber Zirid dynasty for having abandoned Shiism. The Banu Hilal reduced the Zirids to a few coastal towns, and took over much of the plains; their influx was a major factor in the Arabization of the region, and in the spread of nom ...

Sufi tariqas are common in the western areas, but rarer in the east; marabout cults were traditionally important in most areas.
Before their conversion to Islam, some Berber groups had converted to Christianity (often Donatist) or Judaism, while others had continued to practice traditional polytheism. Under the influence of Islamic culture, some syncretic religions briefly emerged, as amo ...

References to them occur frequently in ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman sources. Berber groups are first mentioned in writing by the ancient Egyptians during the Predynastic Period, and during the New Kingdom the Egyptians later fought against the Meshwesh and Lebu (Libyans) tribes on their western borders. Many Egyptologists think that from about 945 BC the Egyptians were ruled by Meshwesh immigrants who founded t ...
