Welcome to the eighth Daily Field Note! Here you find the top post of the day, one covering each scientific field that is included by Geopolis. Since these authors put a lot of effort in writing a good post they surely deserve the extra exposure.
Geopolis is a project to promote and connect authors who write in the fields of global sciences. Upvotes are currently worth more than $1,50 so don't hesitate to get involved or become a member for higher rewards! You can read more about the project and how to join here:
Since recently the field of history is added to the list of scientific fields covered by @geopolis. Since there are over 100 posts with this tag within only a few hours, further selections have to be made in order to efficiently curate quality posts. Therefor filters are applied that may cause your post to be skipped. If you believe it shoud have been reviewed while you did not get an upvote, you can ask about in the discord chat.

History: The Ewe people
It's always nice to learn about completely new stuff, and today I learned about the Ewe culture in @dandykunle's post.
The Ewe lived to the east of the Volta. They claim to have originated in Yorubaland, and to have moved to Ketu, bow in Dahomey, which was then part of the Yoruba state. From here they moved to Notsie, a town some fifty miles inland in what is today Togo.
Anthropology: Response on Edward Tylor's anthropological views
Edward Tylor was a very interesting man with a famous view on the plurality of cultures.Edward Tylor is said to have laid down the foundations of anthropology. His main aim, I believe, was to explain the diversity of cultures. He formulated a definition of culture: "Culture or civilization is that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society". As opposed to earlier beliefs, Tylor claimed that culture was learned, rather than biological. He attempted to answer questions such as why are societies at different or similar stages of evolution.
Ecology: ecology #1 [ Introduction to ecology ] did you know about the science of ecology
In this post our member @rabo explains the fundamental concepts of ecology and does this very well!
all of organisms living in an environment will interact with their environment. Interaction occurs both with other living beings as well as with objects around them.
In everyday life, especially in rural areas, of course you often see farmers are digging land, plowing, planting, irrigating rice fields, cultivate, and other activities. This peasant's activity has actually been done a few centuries ago. Indirectly they already know of the relationship between the plant with the soil, plants with water, plants with nutrients, and so forth. What the farmers do is actually applying ecology. So ecological applications have actually been done by humans long before the ecological term itself was introduced by ecologists. In contemporary agriculture, humans have already applied many natural principles to support good ecological processes.
