Algeria 1965– In August 1965 nationalist and journalist Mohammed Harbi (1933–), member of the Front de Libération Nationale, consultant to the Ιvian negotiations (1961), secretary-general of the Foreign Ministry (1961–62), political adviser to Prime Minister (from 1963 President) Ahmed Ben Bella (1962– 65), and editor of Révolution africaine (1963–64), was arrested and sentenced without charge or trial to five years’ imprisonment because he had opposed Colonel Houari Boumedienne’s June 1965 coup. Between the coup and his arrest he had lived in clandestinity. He was held in isolation from August 1965 to November 1969, when he was released and placed under house arrest, first in the south, later in the northeast of Algeria. In the spring of 1973, he escaped to France, where he studied history, wrote critical works on Algerian history and nationalism, and edited Les Archives de la révolution algérienne (1981), a book of documents on the Algerian Revolution (1954–62) and the years before (1943–54).

    enced Charles Darwin’s view that species originated gradually through ordinary reproduc- tion, rather than suddenly through supernatural agencies. Darwin had read Lyell during his voyage aboard H.M.S. Beagle, and later claimed his theories about geology came “half out of Lyell’s brain.” But while Lyell had no problem in imagining that great canyons or mountain ranges had been shaped slowly by natural forces over eons, he balked at accepting a similar process for the human species. It was not until 1863, in The Antiquity of Man, that Lyell publicly supported Darwin’s ideas about the continuity of life in the natural world, though he still skirted the issue of humans. Perhaps, he grudgingly conceded, “community of descent is the hidden bond which naturalists have been unconsciously seeking while they often imag- ined that they were looking for some unknown plan of creation.” See also CATASTROPHISM; GRADUALISM; LYELL, SIR CHARLES; PROGRESSIONISM; STEADY-STATE EARTH; UNIFORMITARIANISM ABANG ADAM AND EVE Orang Stone Toolmaker Biblical Primal Couple bang, a male orangutan in the Bristol zoo, mastered a skill once thought impossible n the Old Testament, the Lord creates the fi rst man out of clay, breathes life into him, for apes: he learned to make and use a stone knife. and calls him Adam, which means “from the dust of the Earth.” When Adam becomes A Apes in the wild do not use stones to shape other stones, although they use rocks I lonely in his Garden paradise, the Creator fashions the woman Eve from the man’s rib, as to smash hard nuts and fruits.

  • Australopithecus Afarensis and Human Evolution
    Research TOC AUSTRALOPITHECUS AFARENSIS AND HUMAN EVOLUTION Scott W. Simpson he two-day drive from Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, to our field site near the Awash River had left me dusty and Ttired. The second day began well enough. Just after dawn we reached the western rim of the East African rift. The view from the edge of this massive rip in the earth is extraordinary. At the bot- tom, two thousand meters below, the barren badlands of the Afar depression stretch away into the haze. It is difficult to work in the Afar depression. Because the sun always shines in the Ethiopian rift, it can get hot—very hot. Except for the sluggish Awash River, there are no permanent sources of water. We get our water from shallow wells dug in the dry river beds. Despite purification, the drinking water is usually cloudy. Unappealing, but in this treeless desert the tepid dun-colored water is refreshing. Despite these difficulties, we return to this part of the Ethiopian desert year after year because these arid deposits contain fossilized animal bones that provide direct evidence of ter- restrial faunal evolution during the Pliocene (5.2 to 1.8 million years ago [mya]) and Pleistocene (1.8 mya to 10,000 ya) epochs. Entombed in the ancient clays, sands, and gravels of the Afar depression are the fossilized bones of innumerable animals. Many hours are spent each day walking across the sediments, examining the thousands of bones and teeth of extinct animals that litter the surface. The dusty landscape and glaring sunlight quickly cause a permanent squint and a bad attitude.

Nelson Part 1: West Texas Prelude – September, 2004 April 2005 Explorers Club Program in Alpine “You may have been to the Chisos Mountains, Lajitas and Santa Elena Canyon in the lower Big Bend, but have you been to Sierra Vieja, Ruidosa and Candelaria in the upper Big Bend? How about Vieja Pass, Camp Holland, the O2 Ranch, the Chinati Hot Springs, Pinto Canyon, and the Rio Grande Rift Valley? The upper Big Bend is the target of our April 15-17, 2005 spring program, and will be based in salubrious Alpine in Far West Texas, which boasts one of the most comfortable climates in the state. At an altitude of 4,481 feet, the April daytime temperatures are typically in the high 70s to very low 80s. Our hosts will be Sul Ross University and the Museum of the Big Bend. Our evening speakers will feature geologist Jay Quade of the University of Arizona, and Richard Fisher, Director of Wilderness Expeditions, both of Tucson, specialists in worldwide studies of rift valleys and canyons respectively. Our field trip guides will be archeologist Bob Mallouf, Director of the Center for Big Bend Studies, upper Big Bend historian Glenn Justice, Jeff Francell with the Texas Chapter of the Audubon Society, and Jon Kalb, research fellow with the University of Texas. Both “heavy duty” and “light duty” field trips will be offered: an over night trip to the Rio Grand Rift; tours of prehistoric and historic sites; a birding excursion to the Davis Mountains; a “star party” at McDonald Observatory; tours of the Donald Judd home and the Chinati Art Museum in Marfa; tour of World War II Camp Russell in Marfa; the Shafter ghost town; forts built on the Cibolo Creek Ranch by Milton Faver near Shafter; and the Chihuahuan Desert Nature Center and Botanical Gardens near Fort Davis.

    TRANS-PECOS PERISHABLES AND THE EVOLUTION OF MAIZE A mentor in college once told me “archaeology isn’t rocket science; in fact, it’s harder. At least rocket scientists know whether their ideas are wrong: the rocket goes up or it doesn’t, but without a time machine, we can’t be certain whether or not we’re right.” Archaeology is diffi cult because humans have always been complex. Add natural events like erosion and cultural reuse of the areas we study, played out over multiple millennia, and it is a wonder we know what we know about the past. On top of this, we do not do ourselves any favors. We Aerial view of Spirit Eye Cave. build complex categories of artifacts and features to order their distribution across time and space and often restrict these I borrow heavily from Stephen H. Lekson (2009) who out- classifi cations to modern geopolitical boundaries that meant lines a perspective for prehistoric Southwest groups centered nothing to prehistoric peoples. We call them culture areas and, on three key assumptions: (1) everyone knew everything, (i.e., in archaeology, they are our bread and butter. hunter-gatherer knowledge far exceeded their local territories), Learning a new culture area is like learning a new language (2) there were no coincidences, and (3) geographical distances in that it is diffi cult to understand a new concept without can be dealt with. Like Lekson, I “err in those three directions” relating it to the one you already know. So as a newcomer to pertaining to most issues in prehistory, but especially, the three Texas archaeology, I have had to look over the fence to fi nd key research areas outlined above.
