Things that confuse me
Cowboys and Indians are not taught in history class, also not a time period in history books, but why??? I don't understand??
also when you see a skeleton head, there are no signs of a place where ears can be attached, are our ears actually connected to our skull???
@Tinywhisper11 I think that a lot of the reason behind not teaching about cowboys and Indians is because the brutality of a lot of it is denied. They romanticize the cowboys and paint the native Americans as savages. Much of the history is inaccurate and told from one side. (Just my thoughts)
@mytwistedsoul ohhh ok that all makes sense ❤ Thank you soul ❤ hugs you tightly ❤
@Tinywhisper11 You're welcome ❤️
@Tinywhisper11 Are you talking about US cowboys and Indians? I don’t think it’s true that they are not taught in history classes. Maybe you’re looking at a particular book or course that didn’t include them.
The outer ear is made of cartilage and attaches to the skull with ligaments. Then there is a canal and the drum. That is all the external ear. The ear drum presses against 3 small bones that act as levers. The end of the lever presses against a fluid filled thing called the cochlea. So sound vibration is translated into fluid motion inside of the cochlea and that moves tiny hair like structures that give off nerve impulses in a specific part the brain that translates that into “hearing.”
@PineTreeTree Tiny you might want to check out the History Channel (link below) for some brief American Indian history. There are many tribes and history of contact and conflict so it’s maybe more accurate to call it histories (plural). The US government made so many treaties with tribes and then over and over again broke those agreements when it suited them. They built boarding schools and forced Indian children to leave their families. They tried to un-Indian the children by preventing them from speaking their language or religious/cultural practices. Children were beaten and many died. The schools existed into the 1970s so there are still living survivors who still bear the scars of that experience. The US still has sections of land called reservations that “belong” to the Indians. But the Indian tribes don’t really have complete control over that land even though tribes are considered sovereign nations. Tribes are sovereign nations but still under US law so it makes for very complex law. For instance, who has legal jurisdiction. If someone commits a crime on tribal land it can raise questions like, is the tribal nation the one that enforces the law or the US state or US federal government and what happens when those laws conflict with each other.
@PineTreeTree oh ok, I never went to school but I've asked around and in the uk, they don't seem to teach any of that. Government and laws in some countries are really not good😥 my experience when I was living in America government has different laws for different people🙁 and ok I think I understand how ears work now ❤ thanks pine ❤ I love you ❤
@Tinywhisper11 about the ears, they are symmetrically positioned on both sides of the head, aligned roughly with the eyes and extending from the eyebrows to the base of the nose. They are anchored to the skull by the auricular muscles and connective tissues. Structurally, the outer ear (pinna or auricle) is primarily composed of elastic cartilage, covered by skin. This cartilage gives the ear its flexible yet stable shape. The ear also contains ligaments and small muscles that help maintain its position, although these muscles are generally non-functional in humans. Blood vessels and nerves run through the ear, supporting its sensory functions.
The only bone part are the "hammer", that works along the eardrums. Tiny 3 part systems that help us receive the sound vibrations through the air.

@eaterofwords85 ohhh ok ❤ Thank you very much for taking the time to explain this to me ❤ I think I understand now ❤thankyou ❤
@Tinywhisper11 i think you have much to learn.......the leaders of a society,,,teach only what is needed to achieve the specific outcome. history is created by the victors......
@LetsChillOut I believe I do have a lot to learn ❤ there is so much I don't understand yet, it's quite overwhelming. But I'm gonna continue to keep trying ❤❤ thankyou ❤
@Tinywhisper11 i didnt mean to patronise.........but,........history is left behind,.....by the people who want to influence the next generation.......
@LetsChillOut oh I did not take it as patronising, sorry if my reply sounded that way ❤ I completely agree, still today so much is hidden from the public eye, and I fear with many things people will never learn the truth. I never actually went to any school, so I'm trying to teach myself everything now, and alot seems to be missing or doesn't make sense to me especially with history. Thanks for taking the time to reply ❤ hugs you tightly ❤

As far as I am aware, (though admittedly there may be some gaps in my knowledge), the dearth of books on the time period of cowboys and indians is due copyright issues; after watching early movies at the outset of film, both parties realised that the new technology was going to be big and also simultaneously realised that their respective images, stories, and key figures would be a significant draw for film makers after 'talkies' would be invented. The scope for film was potentially huge (not to mention all the merchandising that would follow in it's wake). There was but one small hitch,...books. Books had a much more successful marketing campaign, coupled with a die-hard following of readers (not to be confused with Die-Hard watchers whom would not appear until the 1980s). So, to ensure all future financial gains they copied some notes form Jules Vern, invented a time machine, and then travelled forwards to copyright everything to do with them and place prohibitive restrictions on their use with the written word. Thus ensuring the legacy of films and preventing the proliferation of textbooks. (Some of this might be incorrect, but i think the basic gist is mostly on target)
As to ears, I am not certain but I think their attachment to the skull has something to do with BluTacK.
@BastionKnight so tv is to blame for how we see cowboys and Indians. That actually makes sense, most things in life are all about money. Thank you for taking the time to explain this to me ❤❤ hugs you tightly ❤
And blue-tak really🤔🤔 I thought they would of used duct tape

@BastionKnight ❤😁❤
Tiny, I LOVE the questions you ask. Keep asking!
You've already gotten some good replies, you don't really need mine.
I grew up with American history lessons. My interpretation would be that the cowboys are taught as the first settlers to move west. They weren't really "cowboys" then but early pioneers. The Indians are the Native Americans that lived freely on the land before the settlers stole their land. It's a sad story that has been written and re-written, and yes, depending on where you get your information, you'll see different variations of this story.
Then again, as a grade-school student, I basically flunked history, I thought it was boring old stuff. As an adult, I find it fascinating.
@DancingSongbird579 I have heard of stories about the pioneers and the Indians who lived in America when I learnt about thanksgiving ❤ yeah to a child I bet alot of subjects taught in school seem so boring😂😂 thanks for explaining this to me and encouraging me ❤ I love you ❤
