Download or read book Origin written by Jennifer Raff and published by Twelve. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! From celebrated anthropologist Jennifer Raff comes the untold story—and fascinating mystery—of how humans migrated to the Americas. ORIGIN is the story of who the first peoples in the Americas were, how and why they made the crossing, how they dispersed south, and how they lived based on a new and powerful kind of evidence: their complete genomes. ORIGIN provides an overview of these new histories throughout North and South America, and a glimpse into how the tools of genetics reveal details about human history and evolution. 20,000 years ago, people crossed a great land bridge from Siberia into Western Alaska and then dispersed southward into what is now called the Americas. Until we venture out to other worlds, this remains the last time our species has populated an entirely new place, and this event has been a subject of deep fascination and controversy. No written records—and scant archaeological evidence—exist to tell us what happened or how it took place. Many different models have been proposed to explain how the Americas were peopled and what happened in the thousands of years that followed. A study of both past and present, ORIGIN explores how genetics is currently being used to construct narratives that profoundly impact Indigenous peoples of the Americas. It serves as a primer for anyone interested in how genetics has become entangled with identity in the way that society addresses the question "Who is indigenous?"
Download or read book In Search of Maine s Red Paint People written by Emeric Spooner and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1890's Maine became the focal point for the newly developed scientific methods used in archaeology. The Peabody Museum of Harvard, and the Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, sent Assistant Curator Willoughby and later Professor Warren K. Moorehead to investigate a mysterious race of people, unknown at that time. Remarkable stone artifacts were discovered in Red Ochre Burials in Bucksport, Orland and surrounding towns. For a hundred years these Prehistoric people would be researched, investigated and argued over by any and all professionals. In the 1990's laws were passed that returned all grave goods to those who claimed them. Museums across the country were cleaned out and artifacts were returned to those who lived in the same areas 5,000 years later. The history of the Red Paint People is being lost, ignored and actively erased across the state of Maine. Those Professionals in charge, are retiring, looking the other way, or forgetting the importance of those who have come before.It is my goal with this book to raise awareness of the history that is being lost. The sites that are being destroyed and the locations that are being constructed on, without any state professionals attempting to save the history behind these people, that once called Maine their home and are now becoming lost to time.

Download or read book The Archaeology of Australia s Deserts written by Mike Smith and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-02-25 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book-length study of the archaeology of Australia's deserts, one of the world's major habitats and the largest block of drylands in the southern hemisphere. Over the last few decades, a wealth of new environmental and archaeological data about this fascinating region has become available. Drawing on a wide range of sources, The Archaeology of Australia's Deserts explores the late Pleistocene settlement of Australia's deserts, the formation of distinctive desert societies, and the origins and development of the hunter-gatherer societies documented in the classic nineteenth-century ethnographies of Spencer and Gillen. Written by one of Australia's leading desert archaeologists, the book interweaves a lively history of research with archaeological data in a masterly survey of the field and a profoundly interdisciplinary study that forces archaeology into conversations with history and anthropology, economy and ecology, and geography and Earth sciences.

Download or read book Home Words written by Mavis Reimer and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2008-03-18 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in Home Words explore the complexity of the idea of home through various theoretical lenses and groupings of texts. One focus of this collection is the relation between the discourses of nation, which often represent the nation as home, and the discourses of home in children’s literature, which variously picture home as a dwelling, family, town or region, psychological comfort, and a place to start from and return to. These essays consider the myriad ways in which discourses of home underwrite both children’s and national literatures. Home Words reconfigures the field of Canadian children’s literature as it is usually represented by setting the study of English- and French-language texts side by side, and by paying sustained attention to the diversity of work by Canadian writers for children, including both Aboriginal peoples and racialized Canadians. It builds on the literary histories, bibliographical essays, and biographical criticism that have dominated the scholarship to date and sets out to determine and establish new directions for the study of Canadian children’s literature.
