  • Monkeys, Apes and Human Identity in the Early American Republic Brett Mizelle University Ofminnesota
    "Man Cannot Behold It Without Contemplating Himself": Monkeys, Apes and Human Identity in the Early American Republic Brett Mizelle University ofMinnesota While seeking refuge in Germantown from the yellow fever epidemic that plagued Philadelphia in the summer of 1793, Elizabeth Drinker and her friends encountered a man traveling through the town "with something in a barrel to Show which he said was half man, half beast." Although Drinker wrote that the proprietor of this animal exhibition "call'd it a Man[de]," she "believe[d] it was a young Baboon." Intrigued by the possibility of observing first hand a creature that supposedly blurred the boundary between the human and the animal, Drinker and her party "paid 5 l/2 [pence] for seeing it." After examin- ing this creature, however, Drinker noted that she was disturbed by this exhi- bition, concluding that the baboon "look'd sorrowful, I pity'd the poor thing, and wished it in its own Country."' The exhibitor's marketing of this exotic animal as "half man, half beast" and Drinker's positive feelings for this captive creature both depended upon an imagined resemblance between this baboon and human beings. While the proprietor exaggerated and manipulated this resemblance to sell his animal as a hybrid, threshold creature, Drinker similarly drew upon resemblance when she felt sorry for "the poor thing." The idea of resemblance seen here in both the exploitation of and sympathy for this baboon emerges, Thierry Lenain argues, because "a series of common features-general physical appearance, plus some striking details of the appearance and some behavioral features- immediately link monkeys with men in the imagination." These analogies are exaggerated and multiplied as Numerous human characteristics are displayed in the monkey's physiognomy and movements, eliciting a reaction of the 'it almost looks' type, and the onlooker spontaneously seeks signals that endorse this reaction, ignoring characteristics and features that are peculiar to the animal alone.

Km and a population of 1,48,226 persons as per 2011 Census.

Corresponding author: José Eduardo Serrano-Villavicencio ([email protected]) http://zoobank.org/B29AF1E9-F78A-475D-AF1F-3AECEBABA626 ABSTRACT. The yellow-tailed woolly monkey, Lagothrix flavicauda (Humboldt, 1812), is a large atelid endemic to the cloud forests of Peru. The identity of this species was uncertain for at least 150 years, since its original description in 1812 without a voucher specimen. Additionally, the absence of expeditions to the remote Peruvian cloud forests made it impossible to collect material that would help to confirm the true identity ofL. flavicauda during the 19th and first half of the 20th century. Until now, the specimens of L. flavicauda collected by H. Watkins, in 1925, in La Lejía (Amazonas, Peru) were thought to be the oldest ones deposited in any scientific collection. Nevertheless, after reviewing the databases of the several international museums and literature, we found one specimen of L. flavicauda deposited at the Muséum National d’histoire Naturelle (Paris, France) collected in 1900 by G.A. Baër, in the most eastern part of San Martín (Peru), where the presence of this species was not confirmed until 2011.

  • The Historical Road for Common Prosperity of South East Asia
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 4, No. 9(1); July 2014 The Historical Road for Common Prosperity of South East Asia Dr (Mrs) Juri Gogoi Konwar Assistant Professor, Dept of Cultural Studies Tezpur Central University Assam India – 784028 Abstract During the Second World War, the road from Ledo, North East Frontier rail station of Assam, India, to Kunming of Yunnan province, China via Lekhapani, Jairampur, Nampong and Pangsau pass of Patkai range, Shindbwiyang, Upper Chindwin, Hukawng and Mogaung valleys, Bhamo, Burma (Myanmar) road and then to Wanting, at China border was constructed by the Allied Forces for maintaining military supply by road. Starting on December 1, 1942 the construction was completed on May 20, 1945. The road passed through some of the most difficult mountainous terrains of the world having 700 bridges over big and small rivers. After the war, for some time the road was maintained, thereafter it remained to be almost completely neglected. In the light of ‘Open Market Policy’ adopted by the international community, desire of the South East Asian countries to have common economic prosperity and ‘Look East Policy’ of India, it is important for the concerned countries to reconstruct and reopen the road. The paper presents an account of its possible utilization for the socio-cultural and economic linkages of the connected and nearby countries for peace and prosperity. Keywords: Ledo-Stilwell road, heritage, prosperity, South East Asia Introduction During one hundred twenty one years of British administration of Assam in India, there was a road from her eastern most small town Ledo to Myanmar.
