  • Martin Pj Edwardes an Anthropological Perspective
    The Origins of Self explores the role that selfhood plays in defining human society, and each human individual in that society. It considers the genetic and cultural origins of self, the role that self plays in socialisation and language, and the types of self we generate in our individual journeys to and through adulthood. Edwardes argues that other awareness is a relatively early evolutionary development, present throughout the primate clade and perhaps beyond, but self-awareness is a product of the sharing of social models, something only humans appear to do. The self of which we are aware is not something innate within us, it is a model of our self produced as a response to the models of us offered to us by other people. Edwardes proposes that human construction of selfhood involves seven different types of self. All but one of them are internally generated models, and the only non-model, the actual self, is completely hidden from conscious awareness. We rely on others to tell us about our self, and even to let us know we are a self. Developed in relation to a range of subject areas – linguistics, anthropology, genomics and cognition, as well as socio-cultural theory – The Origins of Self is of particular interest to MARTIN P. J. EDWARDES students and researchers studying the origins of language, human origins in general, and the cognitive differences between human and other animal psychologies. Martin P. J. Edwardes is a visiting lecturer at King’s College London. He is currently teaching modules on Language Origins and Language Construction.

Movements of animals and people enable pathogens to travel faster than the incubation period of the epizootic diseases they cause and the health risks for humans, domestic animals and wildlife are rapidly evolving. Growth of the human population, climate change and increased land use are all factors that must be urgently taken into account to safeguard biodiversity on all continents. The Veterinary Services and veterinary teaching establishments must strengthen their capacities in the field of wildlife conservation and health management. New tools and new forms of collaboration and synergies need to be established between these services, wildlife specialists and users of the natural environment, which will in future provide valuable assistance in this field .

  • Territory Characteristics Among Three Neighboring Chimpanzee Communities in the Taı¨ National Park, Coteˆ D’Ivoire
    P1: FJT International Journal of Primatology [ijop] PP046-293191 March 9, 2001 10:45 Style file version Nov. 19th, 1999 International Journal of Primatology, Vol. 22, No. 2, 2001 Territory Characteristics among Three Neighboring Chimpanzee Communities in the Taı¨ National Park, Coteˆ d’Ivoire Ilka Herbinger,1,3 Christophe Boesch,1 and Hartmut Rothe2 Received May 11, 1999; revised February 7, 2000; accepted February 24, 2000 We studied territory characteristics among three neighboring chimpanzee communities in the Ta¨ı National Park, Coteˆ d’Ivoire, and compared them with other chimpanzee populations. We characterized territories and rang- ing patterns by analyzing six variables: (1) territory size, (2) overlap zone, (3) territory utilization, (4) core area, (5) territory shift, and (6) travel dis- tance. Data collection covered a period of 10 mo, during which we simultane- ously sampled the local positions of mostly large parties, including males in each community, in 30-min intervals. In Ta¨ı, chimpanzees used territories in a clumped way, with small central core areas being used preferentially over large peripheral areas. Although overlap zones between study communities mainly represented infrequently visited peripheral areas, overlap zones with all neighboring communities also included intensively used central areas. Ter- ritory utilization was not strongly seasonal, with no major shift of activity center or shift of areas used over consecutive months. However, we observed shorter daily travel distances in times of low food availability. Territory sizes of Ta¨ı chimpanzees tended to be larger than territories in other chimpanzee communities, presumably because high food availability allows for econom- ical defense of territorial borders and time investment in territorial activities.

E-mail: [email protected] 1 ABSTRACT In primates, the unigenic growth hormone (GH) locus of prosimians, expressed primarily in the anterior pituitary, evolved by gene duplications, independently in New World Monkeys (NWM) and Old World Monkeys (OWMs)/apes, to give complex clusters of genes expressed in the pituitary and placenta. In human and chimpanzee, the GH locus comprises five genes, GH-N being expressed as pituitary GH, whereas GH-V (placental GH) and CSHs (chorionic somatomammotropins) are expressed (in human and probably chimpanzee) in the placenta; the CSHs comprise CSH-A, CSH-B and the aberrant CSH-L (possibly a pseudogene) in human, and CSH-A1, CSH-A2 and CSH-B in chimpanzee. Here the GH locus in two additional great apes, gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) and orangutan (Pongo abelii), is shown to contain six and four GH-like genes respectively.
