Paleolithic finger flutings as efficient communication: Applying Zipf's Law to two panels in Rouffignac Cave, France
Two fluted panels in Rouffignac Cave, France, appear highly ordered as opposed to other panels that appear haphazardly made. Is it possible to objectively establish that an intention to communicate thoughts and ideas lay behind the fluting of the two “ordered” panels? To help answer this, we apply a concept from communications theory called Zipf's Law, which can establish whether data represent “efficient communication” or are random. Applying th…
Women and Girls as Upper Palaeolithic Cave ‘Artists’: Deciphering the Sexes of Finger Fluters in Rouffignac Cave
Popular and scholarly literature usually assumes that prehistoric artists were adult men. We show in other publications that young children from the Palaeolithic fluted in Rouffignac Cave, France, and hence the incorrectness at least here of the usual assumption. Our research also shows that females as well as males fluted in Rouffignac. Our methods for demonstrating this are forensic based on physiological research of relative finger lengths of …
The 1630s: Interdisciplinary Essays on Culture and Politics in the Caroline Era
For long historians felt that there was little need to pay attention to the decade of the 1630s, which was seen as a prologue (albeit inextricably drawn out) to inevitable civil war. Literary scholars similarly neglected the decade, regarding it as a period of sterility between great Renaissance and Restoration writing. Over the last twenty years, however, revisionist and post-revisionist researches, new critical attention to what was once too si…
The Study of Finger Flutings
Archaeologists have usually glossed over parietal finger flutings, especially non-figurative and non-symbolic lines. This article develops a nomenclature and defines four forms to provide a descriptive structure from which to build analyses. It then develops methods for such investigations, using experiments and studies of physiology to derive information about the fluters from the flutings. The methods are applied to each of the four forms of fl…
Evidence for cave marking by Palaeolithic children
Amongst the numerous images found on the walls of Palaeolithic caves, fluted lines, made by fingers dragged through a skin of wet clay remain some of the most intriguing. In their study of images at Rouffignac, the authors undertook experiments with a range of modern subjects who replicated the flutings with their hands. Comparing the dimensions of the experimental flutings with the originals, they conclude that the patterns on the roof of Chambe…
The pursuit of Happiness: Evolutionary Origins, Psychological Research, and Implications for Implicit Religion
Scientific studies of happiness (as subjective well-being) provide a lot of information about it: thus, a person’s level of happiness usually stays within a certain genetically determined range despite life’s ups and downs, happiness relates to activity in specific parts of the brain and to the presence or absence of serotonin and dopamine, and we have evolved to pursue happiness. Raising happiness within the set range can involve high self-estee…

Reading revelations: Prophecy, hermeneutics and politics in early modern Britain
The histories of reading and the book have largely been written in two, very different, ways. Early research concentrated on the long durée of publications and reading habits – on the shift in the quantities, materials and genres of books over several centuries, and on the move from the intensive study of a few titles to the extensive reading of a myriad of print. Changes in habits of reading, that is, have been viewed as changes in the types and…

Reading Revolutions: The Politics of Reading in Early Modern England
Sir William Drake was not one of the more spectacular figures of his day.He inherited land, acquired a baronetcy, and sat in the Long Parliament; during the Commonwealth he spent some time abroad; after the Restoration he sat in Parliament again; he endowed almshouses, and is commemorated by a large funerary monument in his local church.One thing, however, makes him extraordinary.Thirty-seven of his commonplace books, fifteen of which are hologra…
So Hard a Text’? Images of Charles I, 1612–1700
Historians have tended to discuss the image (in the singular) of the monarch in early modern England. In the case of Charles I, the Eikon basilike , literally ‘the royal image’, presented a picture of the king that claimed to be stable and authoritative. This article argues rather that royal images were the product of multiple influences, and shifted through changing circumstances, rendering all images unstable and open to differing interpretatio…

Representations and Negotiations: Texts, Images, and Authority in Early Modern England
Revisionist and post-revisionist historians alike still discuss politics in nineteenth-century terms, paying little attention to the politics of rhetoric and display that characterized Renaissance states. Literary critics and art historians, however, have focused attention on representations of authority and have developed critical methods to illuminate the performance and reception of texts in early modern culture. This essay reviews recent inte…

A Cognitive Theory of Religion [and Comments and Reply]
I use an old observation (that religion is anthropomorphistic) to solve a problem almost as old (why do people have religious beliefs?) by arguing that religion is a special case of the more general phenomenon of anthropomorphism. This view suggests that religious belief, often thought nonempirical and cognitively anomalous, is as much based in experience as is nonreligious belief and that it consists in a plausible application of significant mod…

Private Conscience and Public Duty in the Writings of Charles I
It has become orthodox to criticize Charles I for his failure as a politician. Such criticism is both accurate and anachronistic. It fails to appreciate that for Charles the business of kingship was not the art of politics but the pursuit of conscience. Charles took to heart his father's injunctions to follow conscience and he obeyed them rigidly. Through the study of speeches, letters and royal prayers this essay examines the centrality of consc…

Theological method and Gordon Kaufman
Gordon Kaufman is a theologian who wrestles with essential theological issues. In a recent amplification of his position, An Essay on Theological Method , 1 he makes an honest attempt to describe the method by which a self-critical theologian might work. This paper sets out a critique of the method Kaufman proposes and from that delineates a path which theologians might choose to follow

Stanley L. Jaki's Critique of Physics
Disorder and suffering are increasing significantly in our society. Violent crime, unemployment, escape through drug-taking are all on the increase. It is apparent, also, that much of this disorder and suffering, and the anxiety it fosters, is rooted in science and its technological off-spring. The un-employment produced by a micro-technology is only one small example. It is also apparent that one of the principal foundation stones for the scient…

Other contributions examine cultural and political practices that fashioned the century: patronage, representation…

Culture and Politics in Early Stuart England
In recent years new schools of historiography and criticism have recast the political and cultural histories of Elizabethan and early Stuart England. However, for all the benefits of their insights, most revisionist historians have too narrowly focussed on high politics to the neglect of values and ideology, and New Historicist literary scholars have displayed an insufficient grasp of chronology and historical context. The contributors to this pi…
