Download or read book Biosocial Worlds written by Jens Seeberg and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biosocial Worlds presents state-of-the-art contributions to anthropological reflections on the porous boundaries between human and non-human life – biosocial worlds. Based on changing understandings of biology and the social, it explores what it means to be human in these worlds. Growing separation of scientific disciplines for more than a century has maintained a separation of the ‘natural’ and the ‘social’ that has created a space for projections between the two. Such projections carry a directional causality and so constitute powerful means to establish discursive authority. While arguing against the separation of the biological and the social in the study of human and non-human life, it remains important to unfold the consequences of their discursive separation. Based on examples from Botswana, Denmark, Mexico, the Netherlands, Uganda, the UK and USA, the volume explores what has been created in the space between ‘the social’ and ‘the natural’, with a view to rethink ‘the biosocial’. Health topics in the book include diabetes, trauma, cancer, HIV, tuberculosis, prevention of neonatal disease and wider issues of epigenetics. Many of the chapters engage with constructions of health and disease in a wide range of environments, and engage with analysis of the concept of ‘environment’. Anthropological reflection and ethnographic case studies explore how ‘health’ and ‘environment’ are entangled in ways that move their relation beyond interdependence to one of inseparability. The subtitle of this volume captures these insights through the concept of ‘health environment’, seeking to move the engagement of anthropology and biology beyond deterministic projections.
Download or read book Biosocial Becomings written by Tim Ingold and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-06-13 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All human life unfolds within a matrix of relations, which are at once social and biological. Yet the study of humanity has long been divided between often incompatible 'social' and 'biological' approaches. Reaching beyond the dualisms of nature and society and of biology and culture, this volume proposes a unique and integrated view of anthropology and the life sciences. Featuring contributions from leading anthropologists, it explores human life as a process of 'becoming' rather than 'being', and demonstrates that humanity is neither given in the nature of our species nor acquired through culture but forged in the process of life itself. Combining wide-ranging theoretical argument with in-depth discussion of material from recent or ongoing field research, the chapters demonstrate how contemporary anthropology can move forward in tandem with groundbreaking discoveries in the biological sciences.

Book Synopsis Human Adaptation by : Yehudi A. Cohen
Download or read book Human Adaptation written by Yehudi A. Cohen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 1249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Underlying the anthropological study of humans is the principle that there is a reality to which a human must adapt for survival. Populations must adapt to the realities of the physical world and maintain a proper fit between their biological makeup and the pressures of the various niches of the world. Social groups must develop adaptive mechanisms in the organization of their social relations if there is to be order, regularity, and predictability in patterns of cooperation and competition. This book presents an introduction to anthropology that is unified and made systematic by its focus on adaptations that have accompanied the evolution of humans, from non-human primates to inhabitants of vast urban areas in modern industrial societies. Human Adaptation contains over forty outstanding essays that are intended to serve as an introduction to physical anthropology, archeology, and linguistics from the point of view of the processes of adaptation. The organization of these selections contains a balance between biological and prehistoric cultural adaptations. They provide coherence for the study of human evolution. Several selections, notably those in connection with linguistic adaptations, deal with contemporary people in order to shed light on earlier evolutionary processes. More than half of the selections deal with biological evolution. This volume unifies the subject matter of anthropology within a single and powerful explanatory framework and incorporates the work of the most renowned anthropological experts on man.

Book Synopsis Hybrid Communities by : Charles Stépanoff
Download or read book Hybrid Communities written by Charles Stépanoff and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Domestication challenges our understanding of human-environment relationships because it blurs the dichotomy between what is artificial and what is natural. In domestication, biological evolution, environmental change, techniques and practices, anthropological trajectories and sociocultural choices are inextricably interconnected. Domestication is essentially a hybrid phenomenon that needs to be explored with hybrid scientific approaches. Hybrid Communities: Biosocial Approaches to Domestication and Other Trans-species Relationships attempts for the first time to explore domestication viewed from across disciplines both in its origins and as an ongoing process. This edited collection proposes new biosocial approaches and concepts which integrate the methods of social sciences, archaeology and biology to shed new light on domestication in diachrony and in synchrony. This book will be of great interest to all scholars working on human-environment relationships, and should also attract readers from the fields of social anthropology, archaeology, genetics, ecology, botany, zoology, history and philosophy.
Book Synopsis Foundations of Biosocial Health by : James Ziegler
Download or read book Foundations of Biosocial Health written by James Ziegler and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-05-04 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chapters in Foundations of Biosocial Health: Stigma and Illness Interactions, drawn primarily from medical anthropology, highlight the diverse ways in which various stigmatized health conditions interact with social inequalities and stigma to form syndemics. The authors delineate multiple examples of stigma-driven syndemics to demonstrate both the nature of disease interactions and how stigma contributes to, promotes, exacerbates, or perpetuates a syndemic. In so doing, the authors also address how stigma translates from a social condition to various biological conditions. The authors’ contributions cover a variety of topics, including HIV, substance use, obesity, depression, homelessness, poverty,and political oppression. This book is recommended for scholars of anthropology, sociology, psychology, political science, and public health.

Book Synopsis Biosocial Nature of Man by : Ashley Montagu
Download or read book Biosocial Nature of Man written by Ashley Montagu and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biosocial Nature of Man In this little book I have attempted to deal with some of the questions which must be asked if one is to gain some understanding of the nature of human nature. The two most important of these questions are: (1) How much of the biological enters into the making of human nature? and (2) How much of the social experience of the individual enters into the making of that nature? Hence, the title of this book. No one is, of course, in a position to answer these questions completely. What I have tried to do in the present volume is to clarify the issues, to set down the relevant facts as scientists have come to know them, and to examine some of the representative theories concerning the bio-social nature of man. Goethe once remarked that where an idea is wanting a word can always be found to take its place. In the area of discussion with which this book is concerned - human nature - words, alas, have too often passed for ideas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biosocial Nature of Man Aristotle described man as a political animal, thus hitting off in a phrase his essential characteristics, namely, that he is at once an animal and a social crea ture in a rather special sense - a biosocial creature. All animals are social creatures, that is they are both liv ing organisms and interact with each other to confer mutually beneficial advantages upon one another, but man as an animal and as a social creature is unique in several respects. As an animal, man is the most plastic, the most adaptable, the most educable, of all living creatures. Indeed, the single trait which is alone sufficient to distinguish man from all other creatures is the quality of educability - it is the species character of Homo sapiens.
