From E Pluribus Unum to Caveat Emptor: How Neoliberal Policies are Capturing and Dismantling the Liberal University
This article provides an account of how neoliberal policies are currently in the process of capturing and dismantling the liberal pubic university that was constructed in various places around the world in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The article examines the political and epistemic relationship between liberalism, embedded liberalism, the state, and the organizational forms that the university would take throughout most of …
Neoliberalism and the Global Restructuring of Knowledge and Education
This book examines the influence of neoliberal ideas and practices on the way knowledge has been conceptualized, produced, and disseminated over the last few decades at different levels of public education and in various national contexts around the world.
Commentary: The machinations of managerialism: New public management and the diminishing power of professionals
Relative placement of the mandibular fossa in great apes and humans
The taxonomic status of the Chemeron temporal (KNM-BC 1)
Reconfiguring Truth: Postmodernism, Science Studies, and the Search for a New Model of Knowledge
Subnasoalveolar anatomy and hominoid phylogeny: Evidence from comparative ontogeny
The present analysis evaluated extant hominoid subnasal morphological variation from an ontogenetic perspective, documenting both qualitative and allometric details of subnasal maturation in Hylobates, great apes and modern humans. With respect to intraspecific variation, results of log-linear modeling procedures indicate that qualitative features of the subnasal region shown previously to discriminate extant taxa (Ward and Kimbel, 1983; McCollum…
Reconfiguring Truth: Postmodernism, Science Studies, and the Search for a New Model of Knowledge
This refreshingly original book links the postmodern critique of notions such as 'reality' and 'truth' with approaches to knowledge found in science and technology studies (STS), a field also discontent with traditional epistemology. Exploring STS approaches to knowledge, such as actor-network theory, Ward forges a path through the impasse of the modernism vs. postmodernism debate. Reconfiguring Knowledge is an important work for social scientist…
The anterior dentition of Sivapithecus parvada, with comments on the phylogenetic significance of incisor heteromorphy in Hominoidea
In the shadow of the deconstructed metanarratives: Baudrillard, Latour and the end of realist epistemology
Squamosal suture of cranium KNM‐WT 17000
Subnasal morphological variation in extant hominoids and fossil hominids
Primate evolution
First cousins: A new assessment of robust Australopithecines in hominid phylogeny reconstruction
Rak, Yoel. The Australopithecine Face. New York: Academic Press, 1983. xv + 169 pp. including 46 figures, 36 plates, bibliography, and index. $45.00 cloth
Subnasal alveolar morphology and the systematic position of Sivapithecus
Recent collecting in the Potwar Plateau of Pakistan has produced several new maxillae attributable to Sivapithecus . Since the subnasal region is preserved in most of these specimens, comparisons with early Miocene hominoid and Pliocene hominid maxillae become possible. On the basis of these comparisons, it has become clear that subnasal/premaxillary morphology distinguishes Asian and African hominoids. Ramapithecus and Sivapithecus share with Po…
Subocclusal morphology and alveolar process relationships of hominid gnathic elements from the Hadar formation: 1974–1977 Collections
Anatomical descriptions of dental root systems, topographic relations of the alveolar processes, and periodontal pathology are reported for gnathic elements recovered by the International Afar Research Expedition during field seasons 1974–1977
Morphology of the Pliocene partial hominid skeleton (A.L. 288‐1) from the Hadar formation, Ethiopia
The upper part of the Pliocene Hadar Formation, central Afar, Ethiopia, has yielded a 40% complete fossil hominid skeleton (A.L. 288‐1, “Lucy”). This specimen is described in detail and selected measurements and illustrations are provided
Experimental stress analysis of topographic diversity in early hominid gnathic morphology
Reconstructing the biomechanics of early hominid mastication is a key element in most models of hominid differentiation. Traditionally, ostelogical features marking muscle attachment surfaces have served as a reference system from which the vector geometry of the masticatory force system and resultant force distributions could be predicted. To augment traditional morphological and computational approaches, we developed a simulation system capable…
Correlates between locomotor anatomy and behavior in two sympatric species of Lemur
Sympatric populations of Lemur catta and Lemur fulvus show major differences in their occupation of canopy forest levels. Lemur catta is usually found in the lowest levels of the forest, and uses the ground for travel over 65% of the time. Lemur fulvus uses the upper levels of the canopy forest and is observed on the ground in less than 2% of all observations. Comparison of hindlimb musculoskeletal anatomy shows statistically significant differen…
On the hominid masticatory complex: Biomechanical and evolutionary perspectives
Mineral metabolism and microstructural defects in primate teeth
There are numerous structural defects that occur in primate teeth due to variable calcification during certain growth stages. These interruptions are usually areas of hypomineralization in enamel and dentin which are referred to as Striae of Retzius and Hunter Shreger bands in the enamel or Incremental Lines of von Ebner and Contour Lines of Owen in the case of the dentin. The frequency of occurrence of these variations in mineralization can be r…
