Made in Africa Hominin Explorations and the Australian Skeletal Evidence【電子書籍】[ Steve Webb ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>Made in Africa: Hominin Explorations and the Australian Skeletal Evidence</em> describes and documents the largest collection of modern human remains in the world from its time period. These Australian fossils, which represent modern humans at the end of their great 20,000 km journey from Africa, may be reburied in the next two years at the request of the Aboriginal community.</p> <p>Part one of the book provides an overview of modern humans, their ancestors, and their journeys, explores the construct of human evolution over the last two and half million years, and defines the background to the first hominins and later modern humans to leave Africa, cross the world and meet other archaic peoples who had also travelled and undergone similar evolutionary pathways.</p> <p>Part two focuses on Australia and the evidence for its earliest people. The Willandra Lakes fossils represent the earliest arrivals and are the largest and most diverse late Pleistocene collection from this part of the world. Although twenty to twenty-five thousand years younger than the oldest archaeological site in Australia, they exemplify the migrating end-point of the human story that reflect a diversity and culture not recorded elsewhere in the world.</p> <p>Part three records the Willandra Lake Collection itself from a photographic and descriptive perspective.</p> <p>Evolutionary biologists and geneticists will find this book to be a valuable documentation of the 20,000 km hominid migration from Africa to the most distant parts of the world, and of the challenges and findings of the Willandra Lake Collection.</p> <ul> <li>Provides perspective for dispersal of the earliest hominins from Africa and the possible routes they took</li> <li>Describes both the evolutionary development and demographic exit of intermediate and modern humans from Africa and incorporates the final stages of modern human migrations</li> <li>Provides a full documentation of the Willandra Lakes skeletal collection and its place in developing a picture of the earliest as well as later Aboriginal Australians</li> </ul>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 11,865円

Human Adaptation in the Asian Palaeolithic Hominin Dispersal and Behaviour during the Late Quaternary【電子書籍】[ Ryan J. Rabett ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book examines the first human colonization of Asia and particularly the tropical environments of Southeast Asia during the Upper Pleistocene. In studying the unique character of the Asian archaeological record, it reassesses long-accepted propositions about the development of human 'modernity.' Ryan J. Rabett reveals an evolutionary relationship between colonization, the challenges encountered during this process ? especially in relation to climatic and environmental change ? and the forms of behaviour that emerged. This book argues that human modernity is not something achieved in the remote past in one part of the world, but rather is a diverse, flexible, responsive and ongoing process of adaptation.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 11,110円

Early Hominin Paleoecology【電子書籍】[ Matt Sponheimer ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>An introduction to the multidisciplinary field of hominin paleoecology for advanced undergraduate students and beginning graduate students, <em>Early Hominin Paleoecology</em> offers an up-to-date review of the relevant literature, exploring new research and synthesizing old and new ideas.</p> <p>Recent advances in the field and the laboratory are not only improving our understanding of human evolution but are also transforming it. Given the increasing specialization of the individual fields of study in hominin paleontology, communicating research results and data is difficult, especially to a broad audience of graduate students, advanced undergraduates, and the interested public. <em>Early Hominin Paleoecology</em> provides a good working knowledge of the subject while also presenting a solid grounding in the sundry ways this knowledge has been constructed. The book is divided into three sectionsーclimate and environment (with a particular focus on the latter), adaptation and behavior, and modern analogs and modelsーand features contributors from various fields of study, including archaeology, primatology, paleoclimatology, sedimentology, and geochemistry.</p> <p><em>Early Hominin Paleoecology</em> is an accessible introduction into this fascinating and ever-evolving field and will be essential to any student interested in pursuing research in human paleoecology.</p> <p>Additional Contributors:<br /> David Braun<br /> Beth Christensen<br /> David J. Daegling<br /> Crag Feibel<br /> Fred E. Grine<br /> Clifford Jolly<br /> Naomi E. Levin<br /> Mark A. Maslin<br /> John Mitani<br /> Jay Quade<br /> Amy L. Rector<br /> Jeanne Sept<br /> Lillian M.

Hominin Postcranial Remains from Sterkfontein, South Africa, 1936-1995【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The 1924 African discovery of an early hominin child's skull, referred to as <em>Australopithecus africanus</em> by Raymond Dart, was a major event in the history of paleoanthropology. This provided the first evidence of early hominins in Africa and overturned conventional ideas about human evolution. Subsequent discoveries of <em>A. africanus</em> fossils, notably from cave deposits at Sterkfontein, yielded the first evidence that early hominins were habitual bipeds. Fifty years after this, the discovered wealth of fossil evidence in eastern Africa of the slightly older and craniodentally more primitive taxon, <em>A. afarensis</em>, catalyzed debates about the origin and evolution of human gait and the phylogentic relationships among early hominins. This formed the main basis of our understanding of early hominin bipedality and paleobiology. Little attention has been paid to the variation among species in postcranial anatomy and locomotion, although intriguing hints are beginning to appear in the literature. Did multiple varieties of bipedality evolve? Did australopith species differ in positional or manipulative abilities, body proportions, or patterns of sexual dimorphism? These are critical questions for understanding the evolution of australopiths and hominin locomotion. In this book, Bernhard Zipfel, Brian Richmond, Carol Ward, and the most knowledgeable scholars in their respective fields provide groundbreaking accounts for each postcranial fossil and expert examinations into the background of each fossil. The chapters include standardized high-quality photographs and anatomical descriptions to allow readers to read the book entirely or learn by comparing features across chapters. <em>Hominin Postcranial Remains from Sterkfontein, South Africa, 1936-1995</em> is an evolutionary history of South African hominins, and it offers readers an orientation and introduction to the field. This is an important reference book for professional paleontologists, paleobiologists, anthropologists, geologists, students, and historians interested in human evolution.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 14,187円

Handbook of Pleistocene Archaeology of Africa Hominin behavior, geography, and chronology【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This handbook showcases an Africa-wide compendium of Stone Age archaeological sites and methodological advances that have improved our understanding of hominin lifeways and biogeography in the continent. The focal time spans the Pleistocene Epoch (c. 2.5 million?11,700 years ago) during which important human traits, such as obligate bipedalism that freed the hands to engage in creative activities, a large brain relative to body size, language, and social complexity, developed in the general forms that they are found today. The handbook is the first of its kind, and it is expected to play a significant role in human evolutionary research by:</p> <p>? Collating the African Stone Age record, which exists in a fragmented state along the lines of national boundaries and colonial experiences.</p> <p>? Showcasing emerging conceptual and methodological advances in African Pleistocene archaeology.</p> <p>? Providing reference datasets for teaching and researching African prehistory.</p> <p>? Making Africa’s Stone Age record accessible to researchers and students based in Africa who may not have access to journal publications where most new field discoveries are published.</p> <p>The Handbook features 128 chapters, of which 116 are site entries grouped by the host countries and presented in an alphabetical order. A number of those site-related entries examine multiple archaeological localities lumped under specific projects or study areas. The rest of the contributions deal with methodological topics, such as luminescence and radiocarbon dating, field data recovery, lithic analysis, micromorphology, and hominin fossil and zooarchaeological records of Pleistocene Africa. The introductory chapter provides an historical overview of the development of Stone Age (Paleolithic) archaeology in Africa beginning in the mid-19th century, and paleoenvironmental and chronological frameworks commonly used to structure the continent’s Pleistocene record. By making a good amount of African Stone Age literature accessible to researchers and the public, we wish to promote interest in human evolutionary research in the continent and elsewhere.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 26,740円

African Genesis Perspectives on Hominin Evolution【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The discovery of the first species of African hominin, Australopithecus africanus, from Taung, South Africa in 1924, launched the study of fossil man in Africa. New discoveries continue to confirm the importance of this region to our understanding of human evolution. Outlining major developments since Raymond Dart's description of the Taung skull and, in particular, the impact of the pioneering work of Phillip V. Tobias, this book will be a valuable companion for students and researchers of human origins. It presents a summary of the current state of palaeoanthropology, reviewing the ideas that are central to the field, and provides a perspective on how future developments will shape our knowledge about hominin emergence in Africa. A wide range of key themes are covered, from the earliest fossils from Chad and Kenya, to the origins of bipedalism and the debate about how and where modern humans evolved and dispersed across Africa.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 5,339円

Hominin【電子書籍】[ Craig Stanford ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Hominin is the story of an evolutionary experiment gone terribly wrong. It explores the question, “what would happen if we were able to make a hybrid between a human and a chimpanzee?” How would society, scientists, and the media react? In Hominin, the hybrids are not only created, they end up on the loose among us and create havoc. Dr. Samson Samuels, a once renowned-but-discredited primatologist, joins forces with veterinarian Clare Carpenter to try to capture the hybrids before others can kill them. And in the process, Samuels’ young daughter Lilly becomes the key to saving not only the hybrids but their protectors as well.</p> <p>The author is a primatologist with many years experience studying wild chimpanzees, and he uses those observations to construct a realistic picture of the hybrids, their behavior and their minds. If you have looked at a chimp in the zoo and wondered what he is thinking, or if you’ve ever wondered how much humanness there is in that ape, then you’ll find Hominin thrilling.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 660円

Out of Africa I The First Hominin Colonization of Eurasia【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>For the first two thirds of our evolutionary history, we hominins were restricted to Africa. Dating from about two million years ago, hominin fossils first appear in Eurasia. This volume addresses many of the issues surrounding this initial hominin intercontinental dispersal. Why did hominins first leave Africa in the early Pleistocene and not earlier? What do we know about the adaptations of the hominins that dispersed - their diet, locomotor abilities, cultural abilities? Was there a single dispersal event or several? Was the hominin dispersal part of a broader faunal expansion of African mammals northward? What route or routes did dispersing populations take?</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 12,154円

Wild Harvest Plants in the Hominin and Pre-Agrarian Human Worlds【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Plants are fundamental to life; they are used by all human groups and most animals. They provide raw materials, vitamins and essential nutrients and we could not survive without them. Yet access to plant use before the Neolithic can be challenging. In some places, plant remains rarely survive and reconstructing plant use in pre-agrarian contexts needs to be conducted using a range of different techniques. This lack of visible evidence has led to plants being undervalued, both in terms of their contribution to diet and as raw materials. This book outlines why the role of plants is required for a better understanding of hominin and pre-agrarian human life, and it offers a variety of ways in which this can be achieved.</p> <p>Wild Harvest is divided into three sections. In section 1 each chapter focuses on a specific feature of plant use by humans; this covers the role of carbohydrates, the need for and effects of processing methods, the role of plants in self-medication among apes, plants as raw materials, and the extent of evidence for plant use prior to the development of agriculture in the Near East. Section 2 comprises seven chapters which cover different methods available to obtain information on plants, and the third section has five chapters, each covering a topic related to ethnography, ethnohistory, or ethnoarchaeology, and how these can be used to improve our understanding of the role of plants in the pre-agrarian past.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,554円

Hominins Past and Present【電子書籍】[ Maurice Schmidt ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Across the globe, modern humans struggle with racial and ethnic strife despite belonging to the same species, Homo Sapiens. Imagine a world with multiple species in the Homo genus, as was the case 30 to 40 thousand years ago. How would we characterize their interaction? It seems reasonable to expect heightened discord, with one group ostracizing the other, merely because they look different? For evidence, we need not look far. Stemming from our considered superiority, the state of the entire ecosystem stands as an indictment to our mistreatment of it. Our impact is pervasive. Even those of our kind are often singled out for egregious injustice. Why can we not share this planet as equals with all of nature's elements, despite our differences? It was not long ago that we were just another creature in a realm rich in diversity, a true Eden for all its participants, as equals. That was before we established our dominance.</p> <p>After hundreds of thousands of years as a successful species, our precursor Homo Neanderthalensis was undoubtedly under stress as a species. This was due to a series of ice ages that altered the flora and fauna they depended on. However, it is reasonable to assume that they would have regenerated after the last of the ice ages, as they had previously done if given a fighting chance.</p> <p>At this juncture, coincidence would have our species migrate out of Africa and spread across Europe, where we encountered them for the first time. When we now examine Europeans, we find that 3% of their DNA is Neanderthal. Scientists have also ascertained that females of modern humans would not have been able to carry to term offspring from male Neanderthals, while female Neanderthals could produce viable progenies from modern human males. It is via this route that we can account for the traces of Neanderthal DNA in Europeans. I put it to you, what is the narrative behind these facts? Undoubtedly, our propensity for violence against our type, compounded by misogynistic tendencies, stands in stark relief. Are these contributors to the decline of the Neanderthal? Add to this our poor record with differences in ethnicity, caste, class, gender, and social standings, and you have certainty that modern humans would not condone a contender at the top of the food chain.</p> <p>Earth's magnetosphere is currently, and was at that time, in an excursion phase with the potential for a polar magnetic reversal. This weakens the protective shield allowing solar radiation to penetrate the atmosphere. The result is an increased risk of cancer, the severity of which correlates with the extent of the disruption. Add to this the eruption of the supervolcano at Naples, also around that time, producing a volcanic winter lasting several years, and you have the confluence of circumstances that threatened the Neanderthals with extinction. As their numbers declined, lack of genetic diversity trapped them in a vicious cycle, dooming them as a species.</p> <p>This book is a fictional account of the first encounter between these two species.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 452円

Comments on Kim Sterelny’s Essay (2011) "From Hominins to Humans"【電子書籍】[ Razie Mah ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The full title of Kim Sterelny’s 2011 essay is “From hominins to humans: how sapiens became behaviorally modern”. The article addresses the so-called “sapien’s paradox”.<br /> What is the sapien’s paradox?<br /> Anatomically modern humans appear in the fossil record over 100,000 years ago. However, fully modern behaviors are not in evidence until much later. In particular, the Upper Paleolithic of Europe starts around 50,000 years ago, showing fully modern behaviors.<br /> Current anthropological speculation fails to explain the uneven progress of our human ancestors towards modern competence.<br /> Sterelny presents a conceptual model of behavioral modernity based on niche construction. The niche involves cultural information. The adaptation concerns the reliable transmission of information. Reliable transmission allows more cultural information to accumulate. In this way, the adaptation constructs the niche.<br /> The goal of these comments is to frame Sterelny’s argument using the category-based nested form, particularly, the interscope. Such comments cohere to the foundational hypothesis found in The Human Niche.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 283円

The Good Times Are All Gone Now Life, Death, and Rebirth in an Idaho Mining Town【電子書籍】[ Julie Whitesel Weston ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Julie Whitesel Weston left her hometown of Kellogg, Idaho, but eventually it pulled her back. Only when she returned to this mining community in the Idaho Panhandle did she begin to see the paradoxes of the place where she grew up. Her book combines oral history, journalistic investigation, and personal reminiscence to take a fond but hard look at life in Kellogg during “the good times.”</p> <p>Kellogg in the late 1940s and fifties was a typical American small town complete with high school football and basketball teams, marching band, and anti-Communist clubs; yet its bars, gambling dens, and brothels were entrenched holdovers from a rowdier frontier past. The Bunker Hill Mining Company, the largest employer, paid miners good wages for difficult, dangerous work, while the quest for lead, silver, and zinc denuded the mountainsides and laced the soil and water with contaminants.</p> <p>Weston researched the late-nineteenth-century founding of Kellogg and her family’s five generations in Idaho. She interviewed friends she grew up with, their parents, and her own parents’ friendsーminers mostly, but also businesspeople, housewives, and professionals. Much of this memoir of place set during the Cold War and post-McCarthyism is told through their voices. But Weston also considers how certain people made a difference in her life, especially her band director, her ski coach, and an attorney she worked for during a major strike. She also explores her charged relationship with her father, a hardworking doctor revered in the community for his dedication but feared at home for his drinking and rages.</p> <p><em>The Good Times Are All Gone Now</em> begins the day the smokestacks came down, and it reaches far back into collective and personal memory to understand a way of life now gone. The company town Weston knew is a different place, where “Uncle Bunker” is a Superfund site, and where the townspeople, as in previous hard times, have endured to reinvent Kelloggーnot once, but twice.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,132円

Fragmented Memories Struggling to be Tai-Ahom in India【電子書籍】[ Yasmin Saikia ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>Fragmented Memories</em> is a beautifully rendered exploration of how, during the 1990s, socially and economically marginalized people in the northeastern Indian state of Assam sought to produce a past on which to base a distinctive contemporary identity recognized within late-twentieth-century India. Yasmin Saikia describes how groups of Assamese identified themselves as Tai-Ahomーa people with a glorious past stretching back to the invasion of what is now Assam by Ahom warriors in the thirteenth century. In her account of the 1990s Tai-Ahom identity movement, Saikia considers the problem of competing identities in India, the significance of place and culture, and the outcome of the memory-building project of the Tai-Ahom.</p> <p>Assamese herself, Saikia lived in several different Tai-Ahom villages between 1994 and 1996. She spoke with political activists, intellectuals, militant leaders, shamans, and students and observed and participated in Tai-Ahom religious, social, and political events. She read Tai-Ahom sacred texts and did archival researchーlooking at colonial documents and government reportsーin Calcutta, New Delhi, and London. In <em>Fragmented Memories</em>, Saikia reveals the different narratives relating to the Tai-Ahom as told by the postcolonial Indian government, British colonists, and various texts reaching back to the thirteenth century. She shows how Tai-Ahom identity is practiced in Assam and also in Thailand. Revealing how the “dead” history of Tai-Ahom has been transformed into living memory to demand rights of citizenship, <em>Fragmented Memories</em> is a landmark history told from the periphery of the Indian nation.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,200円
