Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: ...dans les conditions indiquees plus haut a du etre des plus actives; les deux sexes ont du contribuer activement a la progression et les jeunes ont du imiter leurs parents avec une facilite toujours croissante. En ce qui concerne les consequences morphologiques directes de l'attitude bipede, on peut presumer que ces consequences mecaniques se sont produits avec une grande rapidite, si l'on en juge d'apres les multiples variations squelettiques determinees chez l'homme sous l'influence de variations fonctionnelles minimes relativement a celles que nous envisageons ici.1 In this same article the eminent Parisian anthropologist suggests that the destruction of the Java forests by some volcanic catastrophe--a phenomenon which the geologic records prove to have been of frequent occurrence in the island in Tertiary times--might have been the means of compelling a large-sized species of gibbon to resort to the erect attitude, and thus to accommodate himself in the best way possible to the circumstances arising from this unforeseen calamity. This hypothesis, with equal probability, might be extended so as to include the supposition that in such, or analogous, conditions there were two species of manlike apes, both of which assumed the erect attitude as a result of frequent and mortal combats for supremacy. 1 Revue Scientifique, vol. v., 4th series, 1896, p. 297. f It is not inconceivable that a powerful leader among one or other of the combatants might have distinguished himself by rushing on his enemies in a rampant attitude, wielding a piece of wood which he could even then well grasp, and thus by a combination of strategy and physical strength put them to...

Book excerpt: This brief text has been completely revolutionized to present students with the latest contemporary thinking on human evolution, adaptation, and prehistory. It offers students a straightforward and integrated presentation of material, focusing on selected aspects of physical anthropology and prehistoric archaeology as they relate to the origin of humanity, the origin of culture, and the development of human biological and cultural diversity. A New feature entitled "Biocultural Connections" illustrates how cultural and biological processes work together to shape human evolution and behavior, and reflects where the field is today. New coverage on cutting edge topics such as medical anthropology, genetics, environmental toxins, and globalization, demonstrate the usefulness of anthropology today. A new, unique "Epilogue" looks at cultural disease and globalization.
Download or read book Biocultural Evolution written by Clare L. Boulanger and published by Waveland Press. This book was released on 2012-04-23 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a writing style that will captivate those new to the subject, Boulanger presents an understanding of human biological and cultural evolution that is both scientific and humanistic, in keeping with classic anthropological ideals. The aim of this reasonably priced text is to help students think critically about what being human has been, what it is at present, and what it may be in the future. While the book focuses on the anthropological subfields of biological anthropology and archaeology, information and insights are also drawn from cultural anthropology and anthropological linguistics. Boulangers absorbing treatment, in contrast to other texts on human evolution, features an opening chapter that seeks to negotiate fairly, without defensiveness or condescension, a pathway for creationists to follow into the topic. The next three chapters provide background on the history of evolutionary science, the biology of inheritance and population change, and primatology. Chapters 5 through 9 focus on human biocultural evolution from the time of the ancestor we share with chimpanzees through the development of agriculture and the founding of states. The last chapter deals with the issue of racehow it has affected our interpretation of the past and how it continues to influence the present. In addition to an extensive glossary, the fully illustrated textbook features numerous topic-enhancing sidebars, questions for discussion and review, and student exercises.

Download or read book Macroevolution in Human Prehistory written by Anna Prentiss and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-09-18 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural evolution, much like general evolution, works from the assumption that cultures are descendent from much earlier ancestors. Human culture manifests itself in forms ranging from the small bands of hunters, through intermediate scale complex hunter-gatherers and farmers, to the high density urban settlements and complex polities that characterize much of today’s world. The chapters in the volume examine the dynamic interaction between the micro- and macro-scales of cultural evolution, developing a theoretical approach to the archaeological record that has been termed evolutionary processual archaeology. The contributions in this volume integrate positive elements of both evolutionary and processualist schools of thought. The approach, as explicated by the contributors in this work, offers novel insights into topics that include the emergence, stasis, collapse and extinction of cultural patterns, and development of social inequalities. Consequently, these contributions form a stepping off point for a significant new range of cultural evolutionary studies.

Download or read book The Antiquity of Man annotated written by Charles Lyell and published by . This book was released on 2015-11-11 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Antiquity of Man" was published in 1863, and ran into a third edition in the course of that year. The cause of this is not far to seek. Darwin's "Origin of Species" appeared in 1859, only four years earlier, and rapidly had its effect in drawing attention to the great problem of the origin of living beings. The theories of Darwin and Wallace brought to a head and presented in a concrete shape the somewhat vague speculations as to development and evolution which had long been floating in the minds of naturalists.
