Autrefois considéré comme une sous-espèce au sein de l'espèce Homo sapiens, nommée par conséquent Homo sapiens neanderthalensis, Homme de Néandertal 2 il est désormais considéré par la majorité des auteurs comme une espèce indépendante nommée Homo neanderthalensis. Il est à l'origine d'une riche culture matérielle appelée Moustérien, ainsi que des premières préoccupations esthétiques et spirituelles (sépultures). Après une difficile reconnaissance, l'homme de Néandertal a longtemps pâti d'un jugement négatif par rapport aux Homo sapiens. Il est encore considéré dans l'imagerie populaire comme un être simiesque, fruste, laid et attardé. Il est en fait plus robuste qu'Homo sapiens et son cerveau est légèrement plus volumineux en moyenne. Les progrès de l'archéologie préhistorique et de la paléoanthropologie depuis les années 1960 ont mis au jour un être d'une grande richesse culturelle. De nombreux points sont encore à élucider, notamment concernant les causes de son extinction.

  • Adaptationist Criteria of Literary Value Assessing Kurtén’S Dance of the Tiger, Auel’S the Clan of the Cave Bear, and Golding’S the Inheritors
    13510C13.pgsI 12/10/03 11:33 AM Page 163 5 Adaptationist Criteria of Literary Value Assessing Kurtén’s Dance of the Tiger, Auel’s The Clan of the Cave Bear, and Golding’s The Inheritors The Elements of the Literary Situation In a classic formulation, literary scholar and theorist M. H. Abrams (1986) identifies four basic elements in a literary situation: an author; an audience; a literary work; and a represented subject matter. At the level of common sense, this formulation has the force of an a priori maxim. Writers are people talking to other people about their shared experience in a common world. The written work—or the spoken work, in preliterate cultures—is the medium through which one person communicates with other people. The subject matter is al- most always some sequence of human actions in a concretely specified setting. Abrams first expounded his scheme in 1953, in the introduction to The Mirror and the Lamp: Romantic Theory and the Critical Tradition. He used the four el- ements as categories within which to classify all theories of literature through- out history. He argued that expressive theories concentrate on the author; rhetorical theories on the audience; formal theories on the work itself; and “mimetic” theories on the represented subject matter. This study was rightly celebrated as a masterwork of historical scholarship, but the classificatory scheme that provided its theoretical underpinning did not become the basis for any new theoretical system. (Hernadi [1976] tried to develop the scheme but only obscured its classic outlines.) In the late 1970s, the eruption of poststructuralist theory radically trans- formed the landscape of literary studies, and this transformation shattered the framework of common sense from which Abrams had abstracted his four ele- ments.

  • The Neanderthals in Popular Consciousness Literature And
    A Note from John Quentin While carrying out my background research for ‘Fourth World Man’ (4WM) I read a lot, watched a lot and listened to a lot. Interestingly, and despite all my initial research, several things of relevance emerged even while I was writing. To be right up to date with developments, I had to change and add some things during the process of writing and editing to ensure that the new information was there. At some point, it was necessary to commit and say, ‘that’s it!’ Maybe there will have to be a Second Edition some time soon if some major new discovery or theory emerges. I felt that it was appropriate to offer readers of 4WM something in exchange for the privilege of having them join my mailing list. I had taken a long time to finish the book after I thought I had completed the manuscript. In the absence of having any other books to give away, I thought briefly about writing a short story or novella. But all that would have done was delayed the launch of 4WM by months. I hit upon the idea of a discussion of how the Neanderthal fiction genre had come about and why there is such a fascination with the Neanderthals when, after all, they have been extinct for thirty-five thousand years and they only lived in Europe and Western Asia. I don’t know how that idea germinated, but it did. I wanted it to be a worthwhile and interesting guide, based on fact and testimony and not some random collection of personal opinions that was clearly assembled in haste.

  • Nathan E. Bender* Ogres, As Understood from Old
    E.L.O., 7-8 (2001-2) BUFFALO BILL AND THE DANISH OGRES: AN EXAMINATION OF THE CONCEPTS OF OGRES AND CAVEMEN Nathan E. Bender* INTRODUCTION Ogres, as understood from old European folklore, have traditionally been thought of as man-eating giants of generally human form, though uglier and stronger, that often lived in caves. In the latter nineteenth and early twentieth centuries the popular concept of “Cavemen” developed, based on the discovery of ancient human and “Neanderthal Man” bones and artifacts from the caves of Europe. During the twentieth century the two concepts of Ogres and Cavemen appear to have intertwined in twentieth century popular literature. One of the earliest books showing the combination of the two concepts is a Buffalo Bill dime novel written and published in Denmark, which story is examined in this paper. BUFFALO BILL William F. Cody, popularly known as “Buffalo Bill”, was a world famous plainsman, hunter, Army Scout, and showman of the American West. Born in Iowa in 1846, he earned his nickname for his skill in hunting buffalo for the railroads, which they used to feed their work crews as they moved out onto the western plains. After his buffalo hunting days he became a scout for various U.S. army units, including the 5th Cavalry. This was his main occupation during the Sioux Indian Wars of 1868, when he met Ned Buntline (Edward Judson). Buntline made Cody famous by writing the first Buffalo Bill Dime Novel in 1869 and then having Cody come east and star in a theater production as himself.

  • Human Biological Variation and I First Taught It in the Fall of 2005
    THE AMERICAN CULTURES CENTER UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY 2014 AMERICAN CULTURES INNOVATION IN TEACHING AWARD RECIPIENT: PROFESSOR LESLEA HLUSKO, INTEGRATIVE BIOLOGY 35AC 1 American Cultures Innovation in Teaching Award, Spring 2014 Nominee Statement (written by Leslea J. Hlusko) OVERVIEW Immediately after I was hired as an assistant professor in the Department of Integrative Biology, I developed IB35ac Human Biological Variation and I first taught it in the fall of 2005. The department was expanding its curriculum and research into the realm of human biology, and this course articulated well with the expanding interdisciplinary role that Integrative Biology plays. As you may know, this was the first course in the biological sciences to be included in Berkeley's American Cultures program (see the Berkeleyan 31 March 2005, vol 33(29) “American Cultures looks ahead”). Enrollment for the course has always been at capacity, and currently serves approximately 300 students each fall. In the fall of 2012, a lab activity was added to the curriculum. Due to the immensely positive feedback about the lab, in the fall of 2013, we increased the units from 3 to 4 and added a weekly discussion section. I am the sole instructor and oversee five GSIs. This course addresses modern human biological variation from historical, comparative, evolutionary, biomedical, and cultural perspectives. It is designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of comparative biology, evolutionary theory, and genetics. A sound understanding of the biology that underlies human variation is essential for grasping the superimposed concepts of ethnicity and self-identity. As such, this course provides an essential foundation for understanding which components of human variation are biological and which are cultural, and how they have affected each other during the course of our evolution.

    BRIEFING YOU about our Field School for Quaternary Palaeoanthropology and Prehistory of Murcia, S.E. Spain Michael J. Walker Subdepartment of Physical Anthropology, Dept. of Zoology and Physical Anthropology, Biology Faculty Murcia University, 30100, MURCIA (SPAIN) emails: [email protected] or [email protected] fax: 34-868-883963 Dates: July 2nd (Tues.) – July 23rd (Tues.) 2013 at Cueva Negra del Estrecho del Río Quípar July 23rd (Tues.) –August 13th (Tues.) 2013 at Sima de las Palomas del Cabezo Gordo ABSTRACT The main objective of the research project is to increase the finds of Pleistocene hominin fossils, along with stone tools and prehistoric animals, by excavation at two sites, Cueva Negra (Black Cave) del Estrecho del Río Quípar de La Encarnación and Sima de las Palomas (Dove Hole) del Cabezo Gordo de Dolores de Pacheco, in the Spanish province of Murcia . A secondary objective is to compare and contrast how Neanderthal folk and their H. heidelbergensis forebears used natural resources near to the sites, which are in very different local environments. The results will be of importance in developing research into fossil man of the ice age in Mediterranean Spain. Fieldwork since the early 1990’s has very significantly increased the numbers of Pleistocene hominin remains from both sites, as well as the Middle Palaeolithic stone tools and Middle-early Late Pleistocene faunal remains. The results are greatly helping to extend our knowledge about H. heidelbergensis and H. neanderthalensis , their origins and their lifeways. 1 Michael J. Walker

CLASS MEETS: Tuesday and Thursday, 11 – 12:20, in University Hall room 09 COURSE DESCRIPTION: What was life like during the Pleistocene, and how do we know? In this course, we explore the archaeological record and recent research on the physical and social environment of Neanderthals, early modern humans, and their contemporaries. We address topics ranging from new genetic and isotopic analyses, to the origins of art and symbolism. Despite the esoteric nature of the evidence, Neanderthals and the Paleolithic era have long captured the imagination of the non-scientists, and have inspired artists, authors, and filmmakers. Our class also explores the ways in which art and science have informed and influenced each other, and how the Paleolithic is imagined and even used in modern society. The course format is primarily lecture and discussion, with at least one in-class lab. Lectures will follow topics shown on the schedule below and the Churchill textbook. In addition, we will read 3 popular science texts and 2 novels, all of which deal with various ideas about Neanderthal extinction and their interactions with early humans. Students will produce short essays on each of these texts, identifying and evaluating the major arguments advanced by each author.
