  • Explaining the rise of moralizing religions

    Open AccessPeter Turchin, H Whitehouse et al.ARTICLEReligion Brain & Behavior2023

    The causes, consequences, and timing of the rise of moralizing religions in world history have been the focus of intense debate. Progress has been limited by the availability of quantitative data to test competing theories, by divergent ideas regarding both predictor and outcomes variables, and by differences of opinion over methodology. To address all these problems, we utilize Seshat: Global History Databank, a large storehouse of information d…

  • Big Gods and big science

    Open AccessPeter Turchin, H Whitehouse et al.ARTICLEReligion Brain & Behavior2023

    Our target article empirically tested the Big Gods Hypothesis which proposes that beliefs in moralizing supernatural punishment (MSP) contributed to the evolution of socio-political complexity (SPC) in world history. We tested this hypothesis using a suite of measures of MSP, SPC, and other potential evolutionary drivers coded in Seshat: Global History Databank. Our analyses indicate that intensity of warfare and productivity of agriculture were …

  • Arabic Medicine in China Tradition, Innovation, and Change

    Eugene N Anderson, Paul David BuellBOOKArabic Medicine in China2021

    "The Huihui Yaofang was an encyclopedia of Near Eastern medicine compiled under the Mongol Yuan Dynasty for the benefit of themselves and the then Chinese medical establishments. Some 15% of the work survives, from a Ming Dynasty edition, and is here translated for the first time into English. We extensively introduce the translation with introductions situating it within the history of western and Chinese medicine, and provide critical apparatus…

    Eugene N AndersonBOOKThe East Asian World-System2019

    This book studies the East Asian world-system and its dynastic cycles as they were influenced by climate and demographic change, diseases, the expansion of trade, and the rise of science and technology. By studying the history of East Asia until the beginning of the 20th century and offering a comparative perspective on East Asian countries, including China, Japan and Korea, it describes the historical evolution of the East Asian world-system as …

    An understanding of the current right-wing national and transnational social movements can benefit from comparing them to the global and national conditions operating during their last appearance in the first half of the twentieth century and by carefully comparing twentieth-century fascism with the neofascist and right-wing populist movements that have been emerging in the twenty-first century. This allows us to assess the similarities and diffe…

  • Motivation

    Open AccessEugene N AndersonOTHERThe International Encyclopedia of…2018

    Anthropologists rarely study motivation directly but assume motivation by major biological and social needs, including desire to conform and desire to rise in status and authority. Many also assume, at least heuristically, rational self‐interest; others dispute this sharply, pointing to the roles of emotions and cultural norms. Theories of motivation, many tracing back to Immanuel Kant's original “anthropology” work, are summarized in this entry

  • Cultural Ecology

    Open AccessMark Q Sutton, Eugene N AndersonOTHERThe International Encyclopedia of…2018

    Cultural ecology, a subdivision and approach in human ecology, is the anthropological study of the relationships and interactions between humans, their cultures, and their physical environments. Cultural ecologists study many aspects of culture and environment, including how and why cultures do what they do to solve their subsistence problems, how groups of people understand their environment, and how they share their knowledge of the environment

  • Anthropological contributions to historical ecology

    Open AccessChelsey Geralda Armstrong, Anna Shoemaker et al.ARTICLEPLoS ONE2017

    This paper presents the results of a consensus-driven process identifying 50 priority research questions for historical ecology obtained through crowdsourcing, literature reviews, and in-person workshopping. A deliberative approach was designed to maximize discussion and debate with defined outcomes. Two in-person workshops (in Sweden and Canada) over the course of two years and online discussions were peer facilitated to define specific key ques…

  • Birds of the Mongol Empire

    Open AccessEugene N AndersonARTICLEEthnobiology Letters2016

    The Mongol Empire, the largest contiguous empire the world has ever known, had, among other things, a goodly number of falconers, poultry raisers, birdcatchers, cooks, and other experts on various aspects of birding. We have records of this, largely in the Yinshan Zhengyao, the court nutrition manual of the Mongol empire in China (the Yuan Dynasty). It discusses in some detail 22 bird taxa, from swans to chickens. The Huihui Yaofang, a medical en…

  • Urban Scale Shifts since the Bronze Age

    Open AccessHiroko Inoue, Alexis Álvarez et al.ARTICLESocial Science History2015References: 12

    This is a study of the growth and decline of cities for the purpose of identifying those events in which they significantly increased in size. Significant changes in the scale of cities are important for understanding the long-term trend toward more complex and hierarchical human societies. We report the results of an inventory of cycles, upsweeps, and collapses of settlements in five separate interpolity systems. Upsweeps are instances in which …

    In this article we report an inventory of cycles, upward sweeps and collapses of polity sizes in five separate interpolity systems: Mesopotamia, Egypt, South Asia, East Asia and the expanding Central System that eventually became the contemporary global system. Upward sweeps are defined as instances in which the largest sovereign polity in a network of fighting and allying polities significantly increases in size. Collapses are instances in which…
