Late Pleistocene to Holocene mammal faunal change on a small Landbridge Island in Bass Strait, South-Eastern Australia, and its implications for future reintroductions
We examined a zooarchaeological assemblage from Badger Island, a 12.4 km 2 landbridge island in the Furneaux Group, Bass Strait, south-eastern Australia. The accumulation consisted of Pleistocene and Holocene strata that were rich in mammal remains. Small mammal remains were accumulated by owls, whereas large mammal remains were accumulated by people and/or autochthonous mortality. The Pleistocene fauna was dominated by grassland mammals, particu…
Interactions with Megafauna
Megafauna were a prominent feature of the biodiversity of Sahul. They were still diverse when people reached Sahul but had largely disappeared by about 40,000 years ago. Several studies provide evidence that, before their extinction, megafaunal animals were exploited by people, but such evidence is rare. This rarity of evidence could indicate that interaction was infrequent or that evidence of significant interaction is missing because of weaknes…
Biodiversity losses and conservation responses in the Anthropocene
Biodiversity is essential to human well-being, but people have been reducing biodiversity throughout human history. Loss of species and degradation of ecosystems are likely to further accelerate in the coming years. Our understanding of this crisis is now clear, and world leaders have pledged to avert it. Nonetheless, global goals to reduce the rate of biodiversity loss have mostly not been achieved. However, many examples of conservation success…

Causes of extinction of vertebrates during the Holocene of mainland Australia: Arrival of the dingo, or human impact
The arrival of the dingo in mainland Australia is believed to have caused the extinction of three native vertebrates: the thylacine, the Tasmanian devil and the Tasmanian native hen. The dingo is implicated in these extinctions because, while these three species disappeared during the late Holocene of mainland Aus tralia in the presence of the dingo, they persisted in Tasmania in its absence. Moreover, the dingo might plausibly have competed with…

Aristotle's Theory of the State
Perhaps the fundamental question to ask about any treatise of political theory is, why is it important? About the Politics it is hard to know where an answer to this question would begin. Aristotle’s work intersects with contemporary problems of both politics and philosophy in such a large number and variety of places that the question itself seems redundant. One need only mention Aristotle’s concerns with the sovereignty of law, the fundamental …

Aristotle’s Theory of the State
Socrates On Obedience and Justice
here is an old problem, discussions going back at least to Grote, for students of Plato’s earliest dialogues. It concerns an alleged-JL. discrepancy in Socrates ’ attitude toward civil obedience. In the Crito Socrates appears to take a hard line: the just man must always obey what the city commands of him (unless it commands him to commit an injustice), even if it commands him unjustly to go to his dearth. But in other works, notably the Apology …
"Socrates' Encounter with Polus in Plato's "Gorgias
OF THOSE WITH WHOM SOCRATES DEBATES in the Gorgias Polus is the one most difficult to take seriously. Next to the other two chief characters in the dialogue Polus appears inconsequential. Gorgias is of course an eminent and renowned orator and sophist; if his reputation for great speech were not enough to deserve the earnest attention of Socrates (not to mention that of the small audience assembled), his age-he was about 80 at the time of this co…
The Hobbesian Conception of Sovereignty and Aristotle's Politics
Who is Aristotle's Citizen
When Aristotle confronted the task of defining at the beginning of Book III of the Politics, the difficulties in doing so adequately must have seemed formidable. There was, first, the simple fact of constitutional diversity: states differ, and so too, therefore, do citizens in those states.' Further, there was diversity of usage: people do not always agree who is to be called a citizen.2 Then there are those anomalous cases of citizens who acquir…
