BEST COPY NAM LE Information from the National Museum of Natural History SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20560 INTRODUCTORY READERS Locating outstanding texts and readers for students at anylevel always presents a challenge; for high school and beginning undergraduates, thechallenge can be particularly frustrating. Hence, it is with real pleasure that Anthro.Notes editors canrecommend two introductory readers for beginning students, edited by Aaron Podolefskyand Peter J. Brown and published by Mayfield Publishing Co.: Applying Anthropology. An Introductory Reader, 2nd ed.,1992. Applying Cultural Anthropology. An IntroductoryReader, 1991. Although the titles reflect the editors' interest in the usesof anthropology in today's world, the readers are not designed for courses in AppliedAnthropology.Instead, the sequence of chapters follows the organization of most standardintroduc-tory textbooks. The articles in these readers, however, are anything but standard.For the most part, the readings are short, well-written and varied, with many taken from "popular"journalistic sources such as Natural History, Discover, The New York Times, and HumanNature. The first reader, Applying Anthropology, is dividedinto three sections: Biological Anthropology, Archaeology, and Cultural Anthropology. The longestsection is the third, with articles arranged under the subheadings of Culture;Culture and Communication; Culture and Agriculture; Economy and Business; Sex Roles andSocialization; Politics, Law, and Warfare; Symbol, Ritual, and Curing; and Social and CulturalChange. The Biological Anthropology section reflects the variety and "applied" nature of manyof the reading& The section includes "Teaching Theories: The Evolution-Creation Controversy,"Robert Root-Bernstein and Donald L. McEachron, The American Biology Teacher,October 1982; "Ancient Genes and Modern Health," S. Boyd Eaton and Melvin Konner,Anthroquest, Winter 1985; and "Profile of an Anthropologist: No Bone Unturned," Patrick Huyghe, Discover,December, 1988. The second reader, Applying Cultural Anthropology, isdivided into eleven sections related to culture; many overlap the sections and selectionsof the first reader. Each section has three or four readings that run the gamut from well-knownclassics (Horace Miner's "Body Ritual Among the Nacirema," Laura Bohannan's "Shakespearein the Bush") to timely articles from unusual sources ("The Aids Epidemic in SanFrancisco" from Anthropology and Epidemiology, 1986). The editors of these readers clearly care about studentsand anthropology. They believe that anthropology can inspire students and that students need tobecome f amiliar both with the fundamental questions of humanity addressed by anthropologistsand the practical applications of the field. 3 In both readers, several of the articles exemplify research methods in action, or profile anthropologists working outside of academia. For example, in the section on fieldwork in Applying Cultural Anthropology, Margaret Mead's "Letter from Peri-Manu II" allows students to see Mead reflecting on her long involvement with the people of Manus; and later in the section on Socialization and Parenting, Jeanne Fulginiti explores her career as a school administrator and the ways her anthropolo-gical training helped her devise solutions for her school system ("Profile of an Anthropologist: Ethnography in School Administration"). To make these readers even more practical, the editors have added a short introduction with five questions before each reading, helping to focus students' attention. Most of the questions highlight central themes of the reading or draw attention to important details. Some questions are open-ended and direct students and faculty to avenues for further thought and discussion. In summary, these readers are fine resources to bring anthropological adventure to the classroom. Ruth 0.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Few Western thinkers have engaged with Indigenous people more closely or reaped greater rewards from that engagement than Franz Boas, the founder of modern anthropology. In the early twentieth century, as the world’s self- declared advanced nations competed to colonize the globe and exploit its natural resources, Boas drew upon what he had learned among Native peoples to present an alternative approach to modernity. Questioning the assumption that the West could claim the prerogative to rule “the rest” by right of natural endowment, Boas critiqued the idea of race, the master concept of colo- nialism. He shaped the modern notion of culture as an interactive process to which each of the world’s peoples has contributed its portion of knowledge. And he framed the idea of grammar as a universal characteristic of human cognition, the borderless ability to structure linguistic meaning. These interre- lated concepts interrogated the standards by which the world measured prog- ress, ultimately projecting visions of a shared global community.1 Today Boas is beginning to undergo a reevaluation.2 This is partly because of his unmistakable importance to contemporary discussions of race, inequality, empire, and migration—conversations emergent from the peoples he worked with and the places he worked in, which coalesce around the vulnerability of the ix x Ned Blackhawk and Isaiah Lorado Wilner biosphere and the problem of human survival. Unlike Karl Marx, Max Weber, or Sigmund Freud, who similarly drew upon the intellectual heritage of

  • Evolutionary Analysis of Gorilla, Chimps and Humans Using Sequence Divergence
    Journal of Bioinformatics and Sequence Analysis Vol. 3(1), pp. 1-5, January 2011 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/JBSA ISSN 2141-2464 ©2011 Academic Journals Full length Research Paper Evolutionary analysis of gorilla, chimps and humans using sequence divergence Vibhu Ranjan Prasad, Soumya Chaurasia and Rao Sethumadhavan* School of Bioscience and Technology, Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu – 632014, India. Accepted 30 September, 2010 We have analyzed the sequence divergence amongst the three species that is, gorilla, chimpanzee and human varying from Hominidae and Pongidae. Apart from the genomic phylogeny, we compared the protein and rRNA phylogenies to increase the importance of phylogenetic analysis. The proteins selected are from the mitochondrial origin as mtDNA which codes for mitochondrial proteins, mutate at a higher rate compared to nuclear DNA, so as to give a more useful, magnified view of the diversity present in a population, and its history. The phylogenetic analysis of the mitochondrial genome, rRNA and proteins are done using parsimony, BIONJ and PHYML methods which $resulted into variable results. The proteins that were able to infer the already stated phylogeny between these members were ATP synthase subunit 6 and 8, cytochrome b, cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 and 3 and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2, 3 and 5. Although BIONJ and PHYML methods predicted similar results most often parsimony was found to be predicting contradictory phylogeny with respect to above two methods. To verify the results as obtained from various methods and to further analyze the evolutionary relationship between these members, we applied the method of calculating sequence divergence using bioinformatics tools.

  • Could a Chimpanzee Or Bonobo Take the Stand?
    \\Server03\productn\L\LCA\8-1\LCA109.txt unknown Seq: 1 25-APR-02 15:25 COULD A CHIMPANZEE OR BONOBO TAKE THE STAND? By Angela Campbell* The federal competency standards for witnesses testifying on the stand are fairly liberal. Witnesses must be able to distinguish right from wrong, un- derstand the concept of punishment, perceive events, and remember those events to communicate them in the future. Chimpanzees and bonobos are able to do all of these things to some degree, and therefore, arguably satisfy the federal competency standards. In some situations, this indicates that these nonhuman apes should be allowed to testify in court, subject to the federal competency and interpreter rules. I. INTRODUCTION Chimpanzees and bonobos resemble human beings more than any other living nonhuman animals.1 Chimpanzee and bonobo DNA is more closely related to human DNA than to the DNA of other apes.2 In fact, at least one scientist has proposed that humans are, for all in- tents and purposes, a third species of chimpanzee.3 One of the high- lighted differences between humans and their closest ape relatives is the lack of proof that nonhuman apes can produce complex tools, calen- dars or religions.4 These factors, however, are abstract skills which are not required to establish legal personhood or legal standing. Young * Ms. Campbell will receive her J.D. from Boston College Law School in May 2002. She received her B.A. from Yale University, and in August of 2002 she will begin clerk- ing for the Honorable C.

  • What Is the Viewpoint of Hemoglobin, and Does It Matter?
    Hist. Phil. Life Sci., 31 (2009), 241-262 What is the Viewpoint of Hemoglobin, and Does It Matter? Jonathan Marks University of North Carolina at Charlotte Department of Anthropology Charlotte, NC 28223, USA ABSTRACT - In this paper I discuss reductive trends in evolutionary anthropology. The first involved the reduction of human ancestry to genetic relationships (in the 1960s) and the second involved a parallel reduction of classification to phylogenetic retrieval (in the 1980s). Neither of these affords greater accuracy than their alternatives; that is to say, their novelty is epistemic, not empirical. As a result, there has been a revolution in classification in evolutionary anthropology, which arguably clouds the biological relationships of the relevant species, rather than clarifying them. Just below the species level, another taxonomic issue is raised by the reinscription of race as a natural category of the human species. This, too, is driven by the convergent interests of cultural forces including conservative political ideologies, the creation of pharmaceutical niche markets, free-market genomics, and old- fashioned scientific racism. KEYWORDS – Molecular anthropology, Systematics, Classification, Human evolution Introduction In this paper I explore the intersection of genetics, taxonomy, and evolutionary anthropology. All three fields are scientific areas saturated with cultural meanings and associations. First, genetics is the scientific study of heredity, but has historically capitalized on non-scientific prejudices about heredity to curry support: hence James Watson’s epigrammatic proclamation in support of the Human Genome Project, “We used to think our fate was in the stars. Now we know, in large measure, our fate is in our genes” (Jaroff 1989; Duster 1990; Nelkin and Lindee 1995).

    Book of The Century Jared Diamond (1992). The Third Chimpanzee. The Evolution and Future of the Human Animal. Harper Perennial New York.407 pp Though we share 98 percent of our genes with the chimpanzee, our species evolved into something quitextraordinary. Jared Diamond explores the fascinating question of what in less than 2 percent of ourgenes has enabled us to found civilizations and religions, develop intricate languages, create art, learnscience--and acquire the capacity to destroy all our achievement overnight. The Third Chimpanzee is atour de force, an iconoclastic, entertaining, sometime alarming book at the unique and marvelouscreature that is the human animal. Additional Commentary "A sociologist from Outer Space would immediately classify us as just a third species of chimpanzee,along with the pygmy chimp of Zaire and the common chimp of the rest of tropical Africa" (p.2). "Yet the discoveries of many missing links have only made the problem more fascinating, without fullysolving it. The few bits of new baggage we acquired--the 2 percent difference between our genes andthose of chimps--must have been responsible for all of our seemingly unique properties" (p.2). "What were those few key ingredients that made us human? Since our unique properties appeared so recently and involved so few changes, those properties or at least their precursors must already be present in animals. What are those animal precursors of art and language, of genocide and drug abuse? (p.3) "Bust among our unique qualities are two that now jeopardize our existence: our propensities to kill each other and to destroy our environment" (p.3).
