Wit as a Political Weapon
Political satire—the mocking of every aspect of the political process—is offensive, acerbic, disrespectful. Its practitioners take particular relish in aiming their fire at the politically powerful. Some of those targeted are not amused and try to censor the satire and its authors. This is especially the case in authoritarian systems, but censorship of political satire also exists in democracies. In this essay I compare the constraints on politic…
A comment on assessment of sex using the skull
Geometric morphometric study of population variation in indigenous southern African crania
Much of our understanding of population variation in southern Africa is derived from traditional morphometric research. In the search for new perspectives, this paper reports on new geometric morphometric data examining cranial variation in 12 modern human populations from southern Africa. In total, 298 male Bantu-speaking individuals were studied. In addition, a small Khoisan (Khoikhoi and San) series was also examined. The purpose of this study…

Endocranial capacity of Western Australian Aboriginal crania
The endocranial capacities (ECCs) of 73 Western Australian Aboriginal crania were estimated. Using water‐standardised mustard seed, ECCs were (in cm 3 ) males—X̄1,239, S.D. 92.3; females—X̄1,118, S.D. 77.5. The male and female mean values were smaller than those previously published for Australia as a whole; sexual dimorphism (9.7%) was also slightly lower. Comparison of the Western Australian Aboriginal sample with a large Danish sample (Pakkenb…
The taxonomy of savannah baboons
The subgeneric relationships of savannah baboons have long been a point of contention among taxonomists. Recent documentation of morphological clines and evidence of interspecific hybridization have further complicated this problem. In this investigation, the dental dimensions of 443 savannah baboons, representing three of the generally recognized species, Papio anubis, P. cynocephalus , and P. ursinus , were analyzed using univariate and multiva…

Human kinesiology
This paper discusses kinesiological aspects of human locomotion in terms of the incomplete morphological adaptation of the body to current lifestyles. Modern instrumentation used for biomechanical analyses is outlined for the most part in the context of human running. Investigations of spatiotemporal and segmental measures by electronic walkways, photography, optoelectronics and angle-angle diagrams are referred to, as is electromyography and dir…

Secular changes in the heights and weights of Western Australian primary school children
Anthropometric data for 6864 primary school children from the metropolitan area of Perth, Western Australia, were compared with figures compiled in 1940 for a similar sample from the same area. In the 31 year period, 5–13 year old males increased, on average, by approximately 3·5% in height in each 1 year age group and, in weight, between 8·7% at 5·5 years to 14% by 12·5 years. Over the same period girls of similar age showed height increases wit…
