primordial
(adjective)
Existing at or before the beginning of time.
Examples of primordial in the following topics:
-
Problems
- How does this difference compare with the primordial fluctuations in the CMB?
- How can you tell this change in the spectrum due to the cluster from the primordial fluctuations?
-
Oogenesis
- Oogenesis starts with the process of developing oogonia, which occurs via the transformation of primordial follicles into primary oocytes, a process called oocytogenesis.
- The primary follicles have formed from primordial follicles, which developed in the ovary as a fetus at around 10–30 weeks after conception and are arrested in the prophase state of the cellular cycle.
-
Ethnicity
- Examples of such approaches include primordialism, perennialism, constructivism, modernism, and instrumentalism.
- Primordialism holds that ethnicity has existed at all times of human history and that modern ethnic groups have historical roots far into the past.
- According to this framework, the idea of ethnicity is closely linked to the idea of nations and is rooted in the pre-Weber understanding of humanity as being divided into primordially existing groups rooted by kinship and biological heritage.
- Criticize the concept of ethnicity from the perspective of Max Weber's and Ronald Cohen's theories of social constructionism, referencing the approaches of primordialism, perennialism, and constructivism

- How does this difference compare with the primordial fluctuations in the CMB?
- How can you tell this change in the spectrum due to the cluster from the primordial fluctuations?
- Furthermore, the S-Z shifts photons to higher energies which is different than CMB fluctuations which change the temperature, so observations at energies in the Rayleigh-Jeans and Wein tail of the CMB spectrum can distinguish between the S-Z effect and primordial fluctuations.
-
Matter and Antimatter
- Antimatter may still exist in relatively large amounts in far-away galaxies due to cosmic inflation in the primordial time of the universe.
-
Symbolism
- Moréas announced that symbolism was hostile to "plain meanings, declamations, false sentimentality and matter-of-fact description," and that its goal was to "clothe the Ideal in a perceptible form" whose "goal was not in itself, but whose sole purpose was to express the Ideal. " In other words, symbolism expressed scenes from nature, human activities, and all other real world phenomena not for their own sake, but as perceptible surfaces created to represent their esoteric affinities with primordial ideals .
-
Hindu Sculpture
- Deities commonly worshiped and portrayed through sculpture include Shiva the Destroyer; Vishnu in his incarnations as Rama and Krishna; Ganesha, the elephant god of prosperity; and different forms of the goddess Shakti (literally meaning "power"), the primordial feminine creative principle.
-
Ancient Egyptian Religion
- The creation myth saw the world as emerging as a dry space in the primordial ocean of chaos, marked by the first rising of Ra.
- Other forms of the myth saw the primordial god Atum transforming into the elements of the world, and the creative speech of the intellectual god Ptah.
-
Race
- From the 17th through the 19th centuries, the merging of folk beliefs about and scientific explanations of group differences produced what social anthropologist Audrey Smedley has called an "ideology of race. " According to this ideology, races are primordial, natural, enduring and distinct.

Members
- The reigning political theories of his day granted groups an almost primordial status.
