arshba.ru

As a son of the abkhazian further and the megrelian mother with gurians, russians and germans in my family tree, to a certain age, on the question of what is my nationality, I would answer either abkhazian or abkhazian by half and megrelian by the other half. Today I am aware of the difference between the concepts of nationality, cultural identity, national interests, tribal, clan and the ancient anthropogenic line, etc. Therefore, on the above mentioned question my answer could have much more details: the Arshba clan; nationality and culture - abkhazian; Homeland - Abkhazia; my state is the one which is rulled by people who help me and my family to live worthily life; balkan-caucasian race, which is part of the big europid (caucasian) race probably of the alpine type with impurities; possibly the near-eastern or mesopotamian haplogroup cluster of Y-chromosome and mitochondrial DNA.


Following some traditions, afterwards I should have list my specialization, achievements and regalias, but there are several reasons why I do not see the practical reason of doing so:

1. My achievements on the subject of the project are published on arshba.ru and are being quoted by various authors and publications. Determining their significancy is a matter of taste of any reader or researcher.


2. I do not personally consider very useful to know the degree or rank of the author of any material, as I have an opportunity to determine and evaluate the information myself. Of course, in some cases, reliable information about the author can save the time spent on the study of the useless and add a little weight to a given materials. On the other hand, this information and author titles may be a fake, their carrier may simply be wrong, and the absence or deficiency of that author information can cause the researcher to miss an important material for themselves and simply pass them by.


3. I disagree with the unfounded allegations that science is driven only by specialists, and some names such as the father of genetics and a monk Mendel, Lyell, Stenon, Engels, Descartes, Lamarck, Hubble, Dalton, Kepler, Einstein, Edison, Faraday, Schliemann, etc. confirm my opinion. And if the ability to influence the world is also considered as science, then this list would be replenished with Jobs, Gates, Dell, Abramovich, Zuckerberg and the rest of the names of the billionaires dropout club.


4. arshba.ru is not a commercial project, and I do not have any specific purpose of receiving scientific recognition, etc. At the same time, I am pleased to accept a constructive critics and this is the main reason that I publish my researches.


5. arshba.ru is not a highly specialized project, thus clarifying my specialty, although it is directly related to the one of the studying subjects, would be inappropriate.



6. This project is firstly dedicated to my son Andro, to all my family and friends, and also to anyone interested in the subject.
