Amakati asekhaya: umlando wokufuywa

Lenzani ikati lakho manje? Ulele? Ucela ukudla? Uzingela igundane lokudlala? Amakati avela kanjani ezilwaneni zasendle abe ochwepheshe bokunethezeka kanye nendlela yokuphila yasekhaya?

Izinkulungwane zeminyaka zihlangene nomuntu

Kuze kube muva nje, ososayensi bakholelwa ukuthi ukufuywa kwamakati kwaqala eminyakeni eyizinkulungwane eziyisishiyagalolunye nengxenye edlule. Kodwa-ke, ucwaningo oluyisisekelo olwanyatheliswa ephephabhukwini iSayensi luveze ukuthi umlando nemvelaphi yamakati njengabangane babantu kuhlehlela emuva kakhulu, eminyakeni eyi-12 edlule. Ngemva kokuhlaziya izakhi zofuzo zamakati afuywayo angu-79 nokhokho bawo basendle, ososayensi baphetha ngokuthi amakati anamuhla aphuma ohlotsheni olufanayo: uFelis silvestris (ikati lasehlathini). Ukufuywa kwabo kwenzeka eMpumalanga Ephakathi eFertile Crescent, eseduze nemifula iTigris ne-Euphrates, ehlanganisa i-Iraq, i-Israel neLebanon.

Kuyaziwa ukuthi abantu abaningi bakhulekela amakati izinkulungwane zeminyaka, bewabheka njengezilwane zasebukhosini, bewahlobisa ngemigexo ebizayo futhi bewafaka izidumbu ngemva kokufa. Abantu baseGibhithe lasendulo babekhulisa amakati enkolweni futhi bewahlonipha njengezilwane ezingcwele (unkulunkulukazi wekati odume kakhulu uBastet). Ngakho-ke, ngokusobala, ubuhle bethu abampofu basilindele ukuba sikhulekele ngokuphelele.

Ngokuka-David Zaks, ebhalela i-Smithsonian, ukubaluleka kwalo mugqa wesikhathi obuyekeziwe ukuthi ugqamisa ukuthi amakati asiza abantu cishe isikhathi esiningi njengezinja, ngendlela ehlukile.

Namanje zasendle

Njengoba uGwynn Gilford ebhala kuyi-Atlantic, uchwepheshe wofuzo lwekati u-Wes Warren uchaza ukuthi “amakati, ngokungafani nezinja, afuywa nje ingxenye yawo.” Ngokusho kukaWarren, ukufuywa kwamakati kwaqala ngokushintsha komuntu emphakathini wezolimo. Kwakuyisimo sokunqoba. Abalimi babedinga amakati ukuze bavikele amagundane ezinqolobaneni, futhi amakati ayedinga umthombo onokwethenjelwa wokudla, njengamagundane abanjwe kanye nokudla okuvela kubalimi.

Kuvela ukuthi, wondla ikati - futhi uzoba umngane wakho kuze kube phakade?

Mhlawumbe akunjalo, kusho uGilford. Njengoba ucwaningo lwe-feline genome luqinisekisa, omunye umehluko omkhulu ekufuyweni kwezinja namakati ukuthi lezi zamuva azinciki ngokuphelele kubantu ngokudla. "Amakati agcine uhla lwe-acoustic olubanzi kunawo wonke lanoma yisiphi isisulu, esiwavumela ukuthi ezwe ukunyakaza kwezisulu zawo," kubhala umbhali. "Abalahlekelwanga amandla okubona ebusuku nokugaya ukudla okunothe ngamaprotheni namafutha." Ngakho-ke, naphezu kokuthi amakati akhetha ukudla okulungiselelwe okwethulwa ngumuntu, uma kunesidingo, angahamba ayozingela.

Akuwona wonke umuntu othanda amakati

Umlando wamakati uyazi izibonelo ezimbalwa zesimo sengqondo "esipholile", ikakhulukazi ngeNkathi Ephakathi. Nakuba amakhono abo avelele okuzingela abenza izilwane ezithandwayo, abanye babeyixwaya indlela yabo ecacile nethule yokuhlasela inyamazane. Abanye abantu baze bathi amakati ayizilwane “ezinodeveli”. Futhi ukungenzeki kokufuywa ngokuphelele futhi, vele, kwadlala ngokumelene nabo.

Lesi simo sengqondo sokuxwaya ngoboya saqhubeka kwaze kwaba senkathini yokuzingelwa kwabathakathi eMelika - hhayi isikhathi esingcono kakhulu sokuzalwa kwekati! Ngokwesibonelo, amakati amnyama ayebhekwa ngokungafanele njengezidalwa ezinonya ezisiza abanikazi bazo ezenzweni zobumnyama. Ngeshwa, le nkolelo-ze isekhona, kodwa abantu abaningi bayaqiniseka ukuthi amakati amnyama awabi kakhulu kunezihlobo zabo zombala ohlukile. Ngenhlanhla, nangalezo zikhathi zobumnyama, akubona bonke ababezizonda lezi zilwane ezinhle. Njengoba kuphawuliwe ngaphambili, abalimi nezakhamuzi bawazisa umsebenzi wabo okhazimulayo wokuzingela amagundane, ngenxa yalokho amasheya ahlala ezinqolobaneni. Futhi ezigodini zazivele zigcinwe njengezilwane ezifuywayo.

Eqinisweni, ngokwe-BBC, iningi lezilwane ezidumile zazihlala eNgilandi yasendulo. Insizwa okuthiwa uRichard (Dick) Whittington yeza eLondon izofuna umsebenzi. Wathenga ikati ukuze avimbe amagundane egunjini lakhe lophahla. Ngolunye usuku, umthengisi ocebile uWhittington amsebenzela wathembisa izinceku zakhe ukuba zithole imali eyengeziwe ngokuthumela izimpahla ezithile ukuze zidayiswe emkhunjini owawuya emazweni aphesheya. UWhittington wayengenalutho ayengalunikeza ngaphandle kwekati. Ngenhlanhla yakhe, wawabamba wonke amagundane emkhunjini, kwathi lapho umkhumbi ufika ogwini lwezwe laphesheya kwezilwandle, inkosi yakhe yathenga ikati likaWhittington ngemali eshisiwe. Naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi indaba kaDick Whittington ayinaso isiqinisekiso, leli kati selidume kakhulu eNgilandi.

amakati esimanje

Abaholi bomhlaba abathanda amakati baye badlala indima yabo ekwenzeni lezi zilwane zibe izilwane ezifuywayo ezikhonzwayo. UWinston Churchill, uNdunankulu waseBrithani ngesikhathi seMpi Yezwe II kanye nomthandi wezilwane, udume ngokufuya izilwane ezifuywayo endaweni yaseChartwell nasendaweni yakhe yokuhlala esemthethweni. EMelika, amakati okuqala e-White House kwakuyizintandokazi zika-Abraham Lincoln, u-Tabby no-Dixie. UMengameli uLincoln kuthiwa wayewathanda kakhulu amakati kangangokuthi waze wacosha izilwane ezilahlekile ngesikhathi sakhe eWashington.

Nakuba kungenakwenzeka ukuthola ikati lamaphoyisa noma ikati lokuhlenga, basiza umphakathi wanamuhla ngaphezu kwalokho ocabanga ngakho, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yomzwelo wabo wemvelo wokuzingela wezinga lokuqala. Amakati aze “abuthelwa” ebuthweni ukuze agcine izinhlinzeko zamagundane futhi, ngenxa yalokho, asindise amasosha endlaleni nasezifo, ngokusho kwengosi ye-PetMD.

Uma sicabanga ngomlando omude nocebile wamakati njengezilwane ezifuywayo, akunakwenzeka ukuphendula umbuzo owodwa: ingabe abantu bafuya amakati noma bakhetha ukuhlala nabantu? Yomibili imibuzo ingaphendulwa ngokuvuma. Kukhona isibopho esikhethekile phakathi kwabanikazi bamakati nezilwane zabo ezifuywayo, futhi abantu abathanda amakati bakhonza ngenjabulo abangane babo abanemilenze emine ngoba uthando abaluthola ngokubuyisela lukhokhela umsebenzi wabo onzima (nokubekezela).
