Heating histories and taphonomy of ancient fireplaces: A multi-proxy case study from the Upper Palaeolithic sequence of Abri Pataud (Les Eyzies-de-Tayac, France)
While the use of fire has long been recognised as a crucial innovation in the cultural evolution of humankind, much research has focused on the (debated) chronology of its earliest use and control, and less on the ways in which fire was used in the deep past. At its latest by the Upper Palaeolithic, hunter-gatherers routinely used fire to heat a wide range of materials, adjusting parameters like temperature, exposure time and fuel type to the spe…
The makers of the Protoaurignacian and implications for Neandertal extinction
Cultural prehistory in southern Europe The Protoaurignacian culture appeared in the southern European archeological record around 42,000 years ago and was characterized by artefacts including personal ornaments and bladelets. Archaeologists have debated whether it was ancestral Homo sapiens or Neandertals who made these tools and ornaments. Benazzi et al. analyzed dental remains from two Protoaurignacian sites in Italy and confirm that they were …
Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of Ancient Canids Suggest a European Origin of Domestic Dogs
Dog Domestication The precise details of the domestication and origins of domestic dogs are unclear. Thalmann et al. (p. 871 ; see the cover) analyzed complete mitochondrial genomes from present-day dogs and wolves, as well as 18 fossil canids dating from 1000 to 36,000 years ago from the Old and New Worlds. The data suggest that an ancient, now extinct, central European population of wolves was directly ancestral to domestic dogs. Furthermore, s…
Civility and Its Discontents: Essays on Civic Virtue, Toleration, and Cultural Fragmentation
Respecting What We Destroy: Reflections on Human Embryo Research
Reflections on Human Embryo Research The thought that human embryos could command moral yet also be acceptably used medical research has struck some as incoherent. Given some assumptions about why they deserve respect, however, thought is not objectionable, indeed not even unusual. How can one have moral for something that one intentionally destroys? This perplexing question is pointedly raised by several commentators on ethics of human stem cell…
Liberal Civility and the Civility of Etiquette: Public Ideals and Personal Lives
Analyse de la notion de civilite consideree comme vertu publique, d'une part, et comme vertu propre a la sphere intime d'une societe, d'autre part. Distinguant les concepts de civilite liberale et de civilite d'etiquette, l'A. met en evidence l'influence des ideaux de la vie publique sur la vie personnelle, ainsi que la place de la civilite liberale dans le discours civique
Privatising South Africa by dictum: A review
Onlangse inisiatiewe om staatsbeheerde ondernemings in Suid-Afrika te privatiseer, met die sogenaamde doel om, inter alia, die ANC-beheerde Regering vir Nasionale Eenheid (RNE) se Heropbou- en Ontwikkelingsprogram (HOP) te befonds, toon 'n enorme paradigma-skuif in terme van die ANC se oorspronklike ekonomiese beleid. Hierdie skuif verteenwoordig 'n radikale wegbeweeg van openbare besitreg SODS vasgelê in die Vryheidsmanifes, na die huidige toege…
When Not to Claim Your Rights: The Abuse and the Virtuous Use of Rights
Literature and the Grotesque
Dignity, Rights, and Recent Legal Scholarship
MOST PROFESSORS PROBABLY KNOW THE STORY OF ACADEMICS STRANDED on a desert island with cases of canned food but no can opener. After various theoretical discussions, one of the group-from a discipline that varies according to the teller's whims -suddenly solves the problem: Let's assume a can opener! In several different ways, The Constitution of Rights suggests this tale. Its editors envision the contemporary constitutional landscape as the equiv…
Dignity, Rights, and Self-Control
Humanism and anti-humanism
Kant's concept of dignity and modern political thought
