Going after the family: Transnational repression and the proxy punishment of Middle Eastern diasporas
Diasporas play a critical role in home-country politics by supporting social, political, and economic change therein. Yet, regimes countermobilize against activists abroad by repressing their diasporas. This paper investigates a widespread but overlooked method in the transnational repression toolkit: that of 'proxy punishment', that is, the abuse of family members at home as a means to manipulate and subjugate dissidents abroad. Using 246 origin…
Diaspora incorporation mechanisms: Sustained and episodic mobilisation among the British-Egyptian diaspora after the Arab Spring
Previous literature on diasporas assert that political crises such as revolutions in home states work as pressuring devices which activate diasporas, alongside political opportunity structures (POS) present in host countries, as an explanation for mobilisation. However, this does not sufficiently explain why two diaspora groups from the same country of origin mobilise in a sustained or episodic manner. Through interviews this paper will focus on …

Developing WHO guidelines with pragmatic, structured, evidence-based processes: A case study
Many guidelines, including those produced by the World Health Organisation (WHO), have failed to adhere to rigorous methodological standards. Operational examples of guideline development processes may provide important lessons learned to improve the rigour and quality of future guidelines. To this end, this paper describes the process of developing WHO guidelines on prevention and care interventions for adults and adolescents living with HIV. Us…
Palaeolithic Grandmothers? Life History Theory and EarlyHomo
The acknowledged success of earlyHomohas generally been thought to reflect male-dominated provisioning and associated patterns of co-operative social organization; recently, however, such conclusions have been challenged with the argument that post-menopausal females, instead, played a significant role in early human subsistence activities; males, it has been proposed, had a very minor role in food acquisition in earlyHomo. The fossil record, how…

On the autapomorphic traits of Homo erectus
The relationship between auditory exostoses and cold water: A latitudinal analysis
The frequency of auditory exostoses was examined by latitude. It was found that discrete bony lesions of the external auditory canal were, with very few exceptions, either absent or in very low frequency (
Bone thickness in Homo erectus
Are the Kow Swamp hominids “archaic”
Initial reports of hominids recovered at Kow Swamp, in the Murray Valley of Victoria indicated that, on the basis of cranial analyses, there was a “survival of Homo erectus features” in Australia until as recently as 10,000 years ago (Thorne and Macumber, 1972, p. 316). This claim was later refuted by others, who suggested that artificial cranial deformation may have been responsible for at least some of the distinctive and “primitive” traits see…
The Emergence of Homo Sapiens: The Post Cranial Evidence
A morphometric and taxonomic assessment of a hominine femur from the lower member, Koobi Fora, Lake Turkana
Previous research by this author and others has indicated that species‐level differentiation within the hominines can be detected in the femur. The femoral shaft of Homo erectus , relative to H. sapiens , demonstrates small anteroposterior diameters, a distally placed point of minimum shaft breadth, and increased cortical thickness resulting in medullary stenosis. This pattern has been identified in specimens from Choukoutien (I and IV), Olduvai …

Aspartic Acid Racemization and Radiocarbon Dating of an Early Milling Stone Horizon Burial in California
Concordant radiocarbon and aspartic acid racemization dates have been obtained for several Holocene aboriginal skeletons from coastal southern California sites. These results further demonstrate the reliability of racemization dating. One of the skeletons (SDM 16709), dated at 8,300 years, was a burial around which several milling stones had been placed. This well-dated burial indicates that the Southern California Milling Stone horizon is signif…
