Does society play a role in why some people commit suicide?
Certainly. Society sets two standards that apply to suicide: how suicide is accepted by the society at large, and what transgressions are significant enough to warrant suicide as a viable alternative. Most Western and European cultures take the Judeo-Christian view that suicide is a sin and thus deplorable. As such, social issues that warrant suicide are few and far between, with the greatest leniency in this few given more towards end-of-life scenarios that involve physical pain. Japan especially, and many Asian cultures, on the other hand, avow that suicide is, under the correct circumstances, a reasonable solution to ones problems. Ancient Japanese culture in fact listed some forms of ritualized suicide as a means of wiping the slate entirely clean.

What tribes practiced cultures practice cannibalism?
F. Ratzel in the History of Mankind, published in the late 1800s said that centres of undisguised cannibalism existed in places so far apart as New Zealand the Marquesas, the Palliser Islands, and the Paumotus. The Hawaiian and Tahitian groups, the Society Islands, and, for a period, Tonga, were free from it during the time of the more frequent visits of Europeans towards the end of the last century. But throughout Polynesia there were both objects and legends in which traces survive of a time when it extended more widely.
What is a main branch of anthropology?
Anthropology as being the study of populations of humanity has various applications depending on the context of the study, but it essentially is a Social Science. It belongs to the larger category--The Humanities which includes Philosophy, Psychology, Literature, Sociology, etc. These are in contrast to what are called the 'hard-sciences' ie Mathematics, Chemistry, Cosmology, etc-- these fields are deductively valid. They're self-evident, that is, the value of 2-1 (real numbers) is true in and of itself and doesn't require empirical testing or hypotheses for proof (given that you understand the values of 2, minus, 1, and equals). Anthropology is a rapidly evolving area of study that requires the creation of a narrative (the hypothesis) from immense, and often contradicting data sets. Further, a natural consequence of Anthropological investigation is the competition of theories. The various scientists, belonging to their respective theories, essentially compete for evidence and whoever has the most evidence at the end of the day earns the title of 'Dominant Theory'.

Will there be an end to monkeys?
I hope not because that could signal the end of us humans too. After all, monkeys are our distant anthropological cousins.
What problems did anto van leeuwenhoek encounter?
Despite the initial success of van Leeuwenhoek's relationship with the Royal Society, this relationship was soon severely strained. In 1676 his credibility was questioned when he sent the Royal Society a copy of his first observations of microscopic life forms. In 1676 his credibility was questioned when he sent the Royal Society a copy of his first observations of microscopic life forms. In an experiment he then discovered "wee animals" in the water-so small that if one hundred were laid end to end "they could not reach to the length of a grain of coarse sand." The existence of such life forms was entirely unknown an even with his established reputation with the Royal Society as a reliable observer, his observations of microscopic life were initially questioned. Although the Royal Society doubted van Leeuwenhoek's discoveries he continued insist to the Royal Society that his observations were accurate, true, and valid. Eventually, in the face of van Leeuwenhoek's insistence, the Royal Society arranged to send an English vicar, as well as a team of respected jurists and doctors to Delft to determine whether Leeuwenhoek's observations were indeed true. In 1680, van Leeuwenhoek's observations were fully vindicated by the Society.
