Citation:
L'humour et le rire occupent une place importante dans la vie sociale des Inuits. Ceux-ci n'hésitent pas à mimer, caricaturer ou se moquer ouvertement de leur interlocuteur. Celui-ci, lorsqu'il est un Quallunaat, éprouve souvent des difficultés à savoir discerner le vrai du faux et surtout, lorsqu'il se prête au jeu, à ne pas dépasser les limites qui feront passer l'Inuit du rire à la rancune. L'auteur du film muet "Nanook of the North", Robert J.Flaherty, opposait ce rire à la difficulté de vivre dans des régions hostiles dans lesquelles la glace, le froid, la désolation et le blizzard règnent en maîtres.
Here is an extract of traditional Inuit throat singing, followed by a great song called "Inuit wedding" by the one and unique Sainkho Namtchylak, the famous Siberian singer, whose Tuvan singing style is close to the Inuit style.
Originally, Inuit throat singing was a form of entertainment among Inuit women while the men were away on hunting trips. It was regarded more as a type of vocal or breathing game in the Inuit culture rather than a form of music. In Inuit throat singing, two Inuit women would face each other either standing or crouching down while holding each other's arms. Sounds produced can be voiced or unvoiced and produced by inhalation or exhalation. Both Inuktitut words and meaningless syllables are used in Inuit throat singing songs. When meaningless syllables are used, they are often portrayals of sounds the Inuit hear in their natural environment such as animal sounds or even water running down a creek.
Unfortunately, there is no written record of when the Inuit first developed their form of throat singing which differs from the type found in Mongolia and other parts of the world that has some form of throat singing. The Inuit did not keep any written records and history was simply passed down from generation to generation orally.
There has been a resurfacing of this traditional activity in the Inuit communities during the last 20 to 30 years. The revival of Inuit throat singing has been so popular that in September of 2001, the first throat singing conference was held in Puvurnituq, Nunavik, where different types of Inuit throat singing from different Arctic regions of Canada were demonstrated and shared. Enjoy this little tribute to the fabulous Inuit culture ! (schuon25.blogspot.com)

Puisque ce sujet parle d'ethnologie/anthropologie, je poste ca ici.
Il s'agit d'une etude genetique qui situe l'apparition du gene des yeux bleux : 6 a 10 000 ans, seulement. Donc les europeens tels que nous les connaissons maintenant, sont extrement recents, a peine anterieurs aux sumeriens.
(C'est marrant d'ailleurs, ca donne du credit au film 10000 BC, qui va sortir bientot). Je ne veux pas traduire la fin de l'article, mais ceux qui lisent l'anglais peuvent le faire pour eux meme, ca serait pourtant interessant d'en discuter. L'Europe etait deja peuplee bien avant (40 000 ans) et Homo sapiens lui meme, est bien anterieur. Notre ancetre commun est ne il y a environ 200 000 ans, en Afrique, selon toutes les evidences actuelles.
