Dillehay Primeras evidencias arqueológicas Page 204 y la ecología de paleopaisajes en Patagonia Francisco Mena Spatial Demarcation of Archaeological Population Page 211 Cores in Southern Patagonia Luis Alberto Borrero Foreword The Americas were the last continents to be colonized, very recently in the two-million-year long history of humankind and were the culmination of a long progression of expansion by Homo sapiens from Africa. However, the process of the peopling of the Americas, while key in the history of humankind, is an area that lacks due recognition. There is comparatively little research on this topic and there is a great need for further investigation to understand the vital role of this process for our human species. The last twenty years have brought about new scientific discoveries and an improved understanding of the peopling of the Americas, how they were first inhabited, how the populations survived and how their evolution led to them colonizing the continents. Much still remains to be researched and learnt. The places related to the origins of humanity in the Americas are underrepresented on the World Heritage List and the importance of ensuring the future recognition, conservation and research of sites related to the process of human evolution, adaptation, dispersal and social development in the continents has never been –more pertinent. The lack of acknowledgment of these sites represents a challenge for the Americas. This publication therefore brings together the best experts in the field, to highlight this crucial process of human history, present its strengths and weaknesses and to establish the need for more scientific research, methodological innovation and improved collaboration on a national, regional and international level. I encourage different institutions and research centres in this field to continue to address this topic for the benefit of future generations. Mechtild Rössler Director of the UNESCO World Heritage Centre 7 Foreword This publication presents the most up-to-date research on the peopling of the Americas. The studies and discoveries brought to the reader in these articles review the latest developments in this field of knowledge: how the Americas were first experienced, how and where their colonization took place, and what aided the successful development of cultural diversity at the last continental frontier for the human species. This book stems from the international meeting, The First Peopling of the Americas and the World Heritage Convention, held in Puebla, Mexico, from 2 to 6 September 2013. It is thanks to this meeting and the discussions arising from it that a cooperation strategy with the State Government of Puebla is being established by the UNESCO Office in Mexico; this cooperation aims to launch actions to better preserve the heritage of the first peopling of the Americas, where our species, Homo sapiens, put into practice the vast trajectory of human experience they had accumulated thus far. These volumes provide the rationale and arguments for the future recognition, conservation and research of sites linked to the processes of human evolution and diversity in the American continent. This fascinating journey investigates the scientific, cultural, ethological, geographical and historical dimensions of the earliest steps of human development in the Americas, and the earliest American evidence of human ritual, expression and practice. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the invaluable assistance and cooperation of officials from the State Government of Puebla and the Municipality of Puebla for hosting this meeting at the Palafoxiana Library, which was the first public library in the Americas and is recognized as Memory of the World by UNESCO. I also extend my sincerest gratitude to the HEADS Scientific Committee and especially to Professor Robin Dennell for his never-ending dedication and fruitful cooperation in the framework of the HEADS programme. Nuria Sanz Head and Representative of the UNESCO Office in Mexico 9 Introduction HEADS in the Americas Nuria Sanz Head and Representative of the UNESCO Office in Mexico In 1960, Current Anthropology devoted a special issue to the archaeology of the Bering Strait, the gateway to the Americas, with the aim of circumscribing it as the principal entry route into the American continent, opposing other theories such as Paul Rivet’s who insisted, over several decades, on a southern transoceanic austral route.

  • The Transformational Potential of Higher Education Inclusion
    n the fi eld of higher education research, one of the most fascinating observations is the consistent and permanent expansion of higher education systems worldwide since theI end of the Second World War. Undoubtedly, the predominant approach to address Jesús Humberto Pineda Olivieri these developments has been through quantitative analysis, as well as international comparisons. The following work examines the particularities of the Venezuelan context with the aim of identifying specifi c features of this worldwide phenomenon in this South The Transformational Potential American case. Through a combination of qualitative methods, the author proposes a of Higher Education Inclusion biographical approach for the study of higher education inclusion processes, which takes into account the perspectives and experiences of those who have been targeted by an ambitious higher education expansion process. The most distinctive feature of this work Biographical Trajectories of Students would be its methodological contribution to the fi eld of higher education research. One from Disadvantaged Environments could also argue that the ethnographic account of the Bolivarian Missions of education in Venezuela in Chavez’s Venezuela is both original and unprecedented. Furthermore, the writing approach bridges the interests of both academics, practitioners of the fi eld and members of the general public.

Este centro deportivo me había honrado con el nombramiento de Presidente Honorario y me exigió que dictase una conferencia en la velada pública que a tal fin estaba organizando el Ateneo de Caracas. Gustosamente accedí a ello, haciendo un recuento histórico del desarrollo del alpinismo mundial. He creído que su publicación puede ser interesante y útil no sólo a los deportistas sino también a todas aquellas personas amantes de la naturaleza, especialmente a aquellas que se dedican al estudio de las Ciencias con ella relacionadas. Ya que el intimo conocimiento y práctica de este deporte es uno de los medios de que deben valerse los exploradores de montaña con fines científicos.

  • The Manis Mastodon Site
    The Manis Mastodon Site Raven Taylor Division - Junior History Paper Word Count - 1562 Since I was little, I’ve wanted to help animals. Naturally, for me as a five-year-old, my dream job was to become a vet. There was something about helping more than just the dogs and cats, so my enthusiasm for becoming a vet turned into my enthusiasm of becoming a zoologist. Around age 9, I met a lady named Iesha while my mom and I were on our way to Arizona. We started talking and then Iesha told us she had just been Hawaii helping leatherback turtles. The stranger sitting next to me quickly became the coolest person I had ever met. She went on to explain that she was going to Arizona to help the bats at a festival so they wouldn’t go extinct from a fungus. All I knew at that point was that I wanted to do what she did. She got to travel the world and save animals, and I thought that was really fantastic. So, yet again, my dream job changed to becoming a zoologist that traveled around the world and saved endangered species. Due to a recent assignment, I’ve found that the job I truly want to do, and that is under the label of Endangered Species Biologist. Since then my heart has been set on saving African Elephants from going extinct. Oddly enough, one of the topics to do for my project was to write about the mastodon, which is an animal that has gone extinct.
