Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ". . . modern humans are still cave men in the sense that our habitations and companion species are the very ones that we formed functional relationships with more than a million years ago. In the tradition of Stephen Jay Gould, E.O. Wilson, David Quammen, Ian Tattersall, and Wade Davis, five Canadian scientists compare the modern high-rise towers of our urban landscape to the cave and cliffside dwellings of our ancient ancestors and conclude that the construction of our sophisticated habitats owes much to the "cave men" and "cave women" of our past. With implications in fields as diverse as architecture, agriculture and even aspects of the origins of art, the authors of this compelling and sometimes controversial work challenge conventional thinking on separate topics such as evolution, history and ecology, by suggesting a single premise that binds these ideas together - that cliffs and rock outcrops have played a vital role in the origin, evolution, and development of the entire human habitat - that the ecological similarities between ancestral human habitats and modern ones over a period of at least one million years provide a brand new perspective on what it means to be human.
Download or read book Prehistoric Humans in Film and Television written by Michael Klossner and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-01-09 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the early days of the movies, "cavemen" have been a popular subject for filmmakers--not surprisingly, since the birth of cinema occurred only a few decades after the earliest scientific studies of prehistoric man. Filmmakers, however, were not constrained by the emerging science; instead they most often took a comedic look at prehistory, a trend that continued throughout the 20th century. Prehistoric humans also populated adventure-fantasy films, with the original One Million B.C. (1940) leading the charge. Documentaries were also made, but it was not until the 1970s that accurate film accounts of prehistoric humans finally emerged. This exhaustive work provides detailed accounts of 581 film and television productions that feature depictions of human prehistory. Included are dramas and comedies set in human prehistory; documentaries; and films and television shows in which prehistoric people somehow exist in historical periods--from the advent of civilization up to the present--or in extraterrestrial settings. Each entry includes full filmographic data, including year of release, running time, production personnel, cast information, and format. A description of each film provides background on the prehistoric elements. Contemporary critical commentary is included for many of the works.

Download or read book Animal Biography written by André Krebber and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-19 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While historiography is dominated by attempts that try to standardize and de-individualize the behavior of animals, history proves to be littered with records of the exceptional lives of unusual animals. This book introduces animal biography as an approach to the re-framing of animals as both objects of knowledge as well as subjects of individual lives. Taking an interdisciplinary perspective and bringing together scholars from, among others, literary, historical and cultural studies, the texts collected in this volume seek to refine animal biography as a research method and framework to studying, capturing, representing and acknowledging animal others as individuals. From Heini Hediger’s biting monitor, Hachikō and Murr to celluloid ape Caesar and the mourning of Topsy’s gruesome death, the authors discuss how animal biographies are discovered and explored through connections with humans that can be traced in archives, ethological fieldwork and novels, and probe the means of constructing animal biographies from taxidermy to film, literature and social media. Thus, they invite deeper conversations with socio-political and cultural contexts that allow animal biographies to provide narratives that reach beyond individual life stories, while experimenting with particular forms of animal biographies that might trigger animal activism and concerns for animal well-being, spur historical interest and enrich the literary imagination.
