JOHNSTON Museumof NaturalHistory and Department of Systematicsand Ecology, 602 DycheHall, The Universityof Kansas,Lawrence, Kansas 66045, USA ABSTRACT.--Domesticpigeons were derived from Rock Doves (Columbalivia) by artificial selection perhaps 5,000 ybp. Fetal pigeon populations developed after domesticsescaped captivity; this began in Europe soon after initial domesticationsoccurred and has continued intermittently in other regions. Ferals developed from domesticstocks in North America no earlier than 400 ybp and are genealogicallycloser to domesticsthan to European ferals or wild RockDoves. Nevertheless, North American ferals are significantlycloser in skeletalsize and shapeto Europeanferals and Rock Doves than to domestics.Natural selectionevidently has been reconstitutingreasonable facsimiles of wild size and shape phenotypesin fetal pigeonsof Europeand North America.Received 17 April 1991,accepted 13 January1992.

MALONEY, CM. The Christian teaching on usury did not develop in a vacuum. Christianity was born in a Semitic milieu and spread rapidly through the Graeco-Roman world. Naturally, its ancestry and its environment influenced its moral think ing. The Fathers of the Church were well acquainted with the thought of others about usury. Besides many references to the clear Old Testament usury prohibition, the writings of the Fathers reflect and interact with attitudes toward interest-taking in Greece and Rome and in early rabbinical literature. It will thus be helpful to examine those strains of thought that existed side by side with the early patristic teaching and influenced it.
