Download or read book Hunter-Gatherers in History, Archaeology and Anthropology written by Alan Barnard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-26 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of hunter-gatherers has had a profound impact on thinking about human nature and about the nature of society. The subject has especially influenced ideas on social evolution and on the development of human culture. Anthropologists and archaeologists continue to investigate living hunter-gatherers and the remains of past hunter-gatherer societies in the hope of unearthing the secrets of our ancestors and learning something of the natural existence of humankind. Hunter-Gatherers in History, Archaeology and Anthropology provides a definitive overview of hunter-gatherer historiography, from the earliest anthropological writings through to the present day. What can early visions of the hunter-gatherer tell us about the societies that generated them? How do diverse national traditions, such as American, Russian and Japanese, manifest themselves in hunter-gatherer research? What is the most up-to-date thinking on the subject and how does it reflect current trends within the social sciences? This book provides a much-needed overview of the history of thought on one of science's most intriguing subjects. It will serve as a landmark text for anthropologists, archaeologists and students researching anthropological theory or the history of social anthropology and related disciplines.

Download or read book Belief in the Past written by David S Whitley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-16 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human actions are often deeply intertwined with religion and can be understood in a strictly religious context. Yet, many volumes and articles pertaining to discussions of religion in the archaeological past have focused primarily on the sociopolitical implications of such remains. The authors in this volume argue that while these interpretations certainly have a meaningful place in understanding the human past, they provide only part of the picture. Because strictly religious contexts have often been ignored, this has resulted in an incomplete assessment of religious behavior in the past. This volume considers exciting new directions for considering an archaeology of religion, offering examples from theory, tangible archaeological remains, and ethnography.

Book excerpt: Though moles are rarely seen, they live in close proximity to humans around the world. Gardeners and farmers go to great lengths to remove molehills from their fields and gardens; mole-catching has been a profession for the past two millennia. Moles are also close to our imagination, appearing in myths, fairy tales, and comic books as either wealthy, undesirable grooms or seekers of enlightenment. In Mole, Steve Gronert Ellerhoff examines moles in nature as well as their representation throughout history and across cultures. Balancing evolution and ecology with photographs and artworks, Ellerhoff provides a veritable mountain of new insight into this exceedingly private mammal.

Download or read book Shamanism and the Ancient Mind written by James L. Pearson and published by Rowman Altamira. This book was released on 2002-02-18 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pearson brings a cogent, well-argued case for the understanding of much prehistoric art as shamanistic practice. Using the theoretical premises of cognitive archaeology and a careful examination of rock art worldwide, Pearson is able to dismiss other theories of why ancient peoples produced art_totemism, art-for-art's sake, structuralism, hunting magic. Then examining both ethnographic and neuropsychological evidence, he makes a strong case for the use of shamanistic ritual and hallucinogenic substances as the genesis of much prehistoric art. Bolstered with examples from contemporary cultures and archaeological sites around the world, Pearson's thesis should be of interest not only to archaeologists, but art historians, psychologists, cultural anthropologist, and the general public.

Download or read book China Lake written by Barret Baumgart and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2017-05 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barret Baumgart’s literary debut presents a haunting and deeply personal portrait of civilization poised at the precipice, a picture of humanity caught between its deepest past and darkest future. In the fall of 2013, during the height of California’s historic drought, Baumgart toured the remote military base, NAWS China Lake, near Death Valley, California. His mother, the survivor of a recent stroke, decided to come along for the ride. She hoped the alleged healing power of the base’s ancient Native American hot springs might cure her crippling headaches. Baumgart sought to debunk claims that the military was spraying the atmosphere with toxic chemicals to control the weather. What follows is a discovery that threatens to sever not only the bonds between mother and son but between planet Earth and life itself. Stalking the fringes of Internet conspiracy, speculative science, and contemporary archaeology, Baumgart weaves memoir, military history, and investigative journalism in a dizzying journey that carries him from the cornfields of Iowa to drought-riddled California, from the Vietnam jungle to the caves of prehistoric Europe and eventually the walls of the US Capitol, the sparkling white hallways of the Pentagon, and straight into the contradicted heart of a worldwide climate emergency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the nineteenth century, Americans looked to the eventual civilization and assimilation of Native Americans through a process of removal, reservation, and directed culture change. Underlying American Indian policy was a belief in a developmental stage theory of human societies in which agriculture marked the passage between barbarism and civilization. Solving the "Indian Problem" appeared as simple as teaching Indians to settle down and farm and then disappear into mainstream American society. Such policies for directed subsistence change and incorporation had far-reaching social and environmental consequences for native peoples and native lands. This study explores the experiences of three groups - Northern Utes, Hupas, and Tohono O'odhams - with settled reservation and allotted agriculture in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Each group inhabited a different environment, and their cultural traditions reflected distinct subsistence adaptations to life in the western United States. Each experienced the full weight of federal agrarian policy yet responded differently, in culturally consistent ways, to subsistence change and the resulting social and environmental consequences. Attempts to establish successful agricultural economies ultimately failed as each group reproduced its own cultural values in a diminished and rapidly changing environment. In the end, such policies and agrarian experiences left Indian farmers economically dependent and on the periphery of American society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout our lives, most of us have been conditioned to view the essence of our human being and the greater realm of creation itself as somehow mysterious and unknowable. In many ways, it seems as if we have relegated our lives to dense matter as the central focus of our identity. Exploring the possible inner or metaphysical realities can provide an orientation and detail necessary for greater understanding of ourselves and the dimensional spheres of life that connect us. My lifes work has included studying the underlying structures that support all physical manifestation as well as the beings that live within and work to sustain them. I believe that all inner and outer life forms and entities are dimensionally connected. We are continuously interacting with them unconsciously through various levels of our being, the collective consciousness of humanity, our planet, and the celestial bodies in the universe. My experience has been that the lack of awareness of our own greater being is what hinders our ability to comprehend the universe multidimensionally. In my view, before entering our present dense physical forms as humans, we have progressed through many developmental cycles, as did our Earth, solar system, and universe. This book documents what I have learned about the universal creative process and dimensional human evolution from our source beginnings to the present. I have tried to integrate the various accounts of the scientific, mythological, religious, and metaphysical versions of cosmology, cosmogenesis, and cosmogony. Exploring the inner realms of possible connections between humanity, Earth, and the cosmos has been a complex undertaking and journey into uncharted territory. My research, life experiences, and clairvoyant perspectives regarding the dimensionality of all life are the basis for the writing of this book.

This book was released on 2022-06-18 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is only the Presentation with some projected diagrams of volumes 1 and 2 of the main book, MYTHOLOGY, PHILOSOPHY AND SCIENCE about the no-birth, the no-death origin of the Supreme-universe with a fathomless ocean of energy-pacific at state-of-absoluteness. In the state-of-absoluteness eternal Energy-God calm and pleasantly settled with all observable and non-observable supremacy that define throughout the "objectual - eras" of bio-intellectually presented Mythology, Philosophy, and the progressing Science in this bio-earth. In the viewpoint of Energy, the Supreme – universe is the solitary origin of the matured-Universe without any possibility of pre-decisive closing /endpoint. The Supreme – universe is at an infinite fathomless center, the unconvincing unassailable source of energies. Its capital value is eternally constant beyond the infinite imaginable limits. Similar to the philosophically depicting sense as no beginning and no end with total singularity. Accordingly, the Supreme – universe may recognize with the honor as state-of-Absoluteness. And, the holdings of the Supreme - Universe is assumed as the Pure form of Energy, or say, as Pure-Energy that consolidated with all possible diversified components that are distinctively available in this matured-Universe. Every possible small section /unit of pure-energy is inhabited, with the essence of the Supreme - universe, so the unit-value pure-energies are honored with the Absoluteness-status. Pure-energies of the Supreme – universe contributed to giving birth to the Universe and is a fully floating condition in the energy-pacific of the mother-land, i.e., the Supreme -Universe with its ever-presence steadfast status. It is the fact that there are not any variable outcomes /effects that could act on the Supreme - universe, even though there is ever persistent internal instability, commotions, and recurrent development of the Energy-components in the 2nd-energy-belt of the Universe. Therefore, the matured-Universe accomplishes to retain unchanging dignity everlastingly in the parental - chamber in the Supreme - universe. Gradually, with energy-times of the Universe at some stage elemental - values effect of Energy - elements or bio-earthly way defines as physics - values work/s from the embryonic stage, the Universe has taken long-long energy-eras to settle and reach its mature stage with three individual energy-belts. The 1st-energy-belt is nearer to the mother’s periphery, became entirely calm and almost the feature of absoluteness-status. The 2nd-energy-belt occupies all diverseness with differential-values action and reaction with observable way clarified recurrently appearing object/s and objectual - products. The 3rd-energy-belt is a true-singular state with mono status purest-energy, at its extreme to infinite motion and neutrality. The untiring efforts of parental's sharing Energy compel all the three energy-belts to take shape and settle in peace. Although, there are eternal observable and non-observable commotions that play consistent roles in balancing order throughout the matured 2nd-energy-belt in the Universe. So, Energy is entitled to get the socio-culturally defined Soul of all creations that may be observable or non-observable with heaven and hell activities by the bio-intelligent species in this adaptable earth. In addition, it is to say that we bio-living species are Geno related to the Energy-God, somehow-someway interlinked to all observable and non-observable products in this 2nd-energy-belt. Thanks...
