Nomadism as a Political Adaptation: The case of the Yomut Turkmen1
An examination of the economy and political system of the Yomut Turkmen indicates that for this group nomadism was not an adaptation to economic conditions, but rather was a means of increasing military effectiveness. A broader implication discussed briefly is that among the Yomut the pressure of endemic warfare led to a harsh form of natural selection favoring all patterns of behavior which increased military prowess

The Turkmen of Iran: A Brief Research Report
The Turkmen inhabit a portion of the Central Asian steppe extending cast from the Caspian Sea to the Amu Darya, a region divided among three countries--Iran, Afghanistan, and the Soviet Union. The central part of this area is the Kara Kum, or “black sand,” a vast, largely uninhabited desert. The majority of the Turkmen are concentrated in two somewhat more fertile regions bordering the Kara Kum. One area consists of the banks of the Amu Darya; th…
The Struggle of the Christian Civilization from the Era of the Crusades to the fall of the East (1453)
The compromise between the ecclesiastical and civil powers of the Western Empire, effected at Worms (1122), did not touch the Byzantines. The Roman world, still nominally one, had indeed for 300 years and more maintained the some-what artificial position which obliged the West largely to ignore the East; and then led the East to regard the West as little more than a dependency. This had grown to be, in many ways, inevitable, even from the time of…
The Reconstruction of the Civilization of the West, from Charlemagne ( Transitio Imperil ) to the Era of the Crusades (and Concordat, 1122)
The influence of Christianity on the Roman Empire, and so ultimately on modern Civilization, was immediately felt, as we first observed, in its action on the social system; and eventually in the formation of better public opinion in morals and Religion. The ideas of individual right and personal freedom (absolutely essential to the new faith which had appeared as the teacher of conscience), found their echo, and also in some sense a defined limit…
The Advance of the Christian Civilization in Europe, from the Fall of the Western Empire to the Times of Charlemagne
The “Fall of the Western Empire” was a re-gathering of the Roman world under one Head, administering one Law. The Emperor of the West, Valentinian III. (442), after his peace with Genseric, and before the Council of Chalcedon (451), had promulgated the “Theodosian Code” in Europe; so that the reunion of the empire was in many ways more easy than it might otherwise have been (476)
The Transition From Heathen to Christian Civilization, from the Time of the Antonines to the Fall of the Western Empire
The old legal dictum , that Christianity is “part and parcel of the law of the land,” had a more definite meaning in the days of Blackstone than now; and the somewhat popular saying, that “religion is an affair between a man and his God,” considerably modifies the fact every day, not only in England, but in all Europe. Christianity, of course, has not been interwoven with the laws of Western Christendom for so many ages without greatly moulding t…
