  • What Bit the Ancient Egyptians? Niche Modelling to Identify the Snakes Described in the Brooklyn Medical Papyrus

    Elysha Mcbride, I C Winder et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Archaeology2023References: 4

    The Brooklyn Papyrus is a medical treatise from Ancient Egypt (∼660–330 BCE) focusing on snakebite. Herpetologists have proposed identifications for many of the animals it describes, but some remain uncertain partly because the species no longer live in Egypt. This paper uses niche modelling to predict the palaeodistributions of ten of these snake species, to test some proposed identifications. Occurrence records and environmental variables were …

  • Landscape Structures and Human Evolutionary Ecology

    Open AccessI C Winder, Isabelle WinderARTICLEInternet Archaeology2015References: 17

    Palaeoanthropologists and early prehistorians work hard to reconstruct ancient human-environment relationships and their influences on our lineage's ecology, biology and behaviour. These studies use a range of datasets (from ice-core records to animal bones and pollen grains to soils) and may focus on anything from the extremely local (site-specific) scale all the way up to global patterns. One aspect of past environments, however, remains obscur…

  • Complexity, Compassion and Self-Organisation

    Open AccessNick Winder, Nick P Winder et al.ARTICLEInternet Archaeology2015References: 16

    Humans are agents capable of helping others, learning new behaviours and forgetting old ones. The evolutionary approach to archaeological systems has therefore been hampered by the 'modern synthesis' - a gene-centred model of evolution as a process that eliminates those that cannot handle stress. The result has been a form of environmental determinism that explains human evolution in terms of heroic struggles and selective winnowing. Biologists c…

  • Reticulate evolution and the human past

    Open AccessI C Winder, Nick Winder et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2014

    CONTEXT: The evidence is mounting that reticulate (web-like) evolution has shaped the biological histories of many macroscopic plants and animals, including non-human primates closely related to Homo sapiens, but the implications of this non-hierarchical evolution for anthropological enquiry are not yet fully understood. When they are understood, the result may be a paradigm shift in evolutionary anthropology. OBJECTIVE/METHODS: This paper review…

  • Complex topography and human evolution

    Open AccessI C Winder, G C P King et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2013Cited by: 23References: 36

    Why did humans walk upright? Previous models based on adaptations to forest or savannah are challenged here in favour of physical incentives presented by steep rugged terrain-the kind of tectonically varied landscape that has produced early hominin remains. "Scrambler man" pursued his prey up hill and down dale and in so doing became that agile, sprinting, enduring, grasping, jumping two-legged athlete that we know today

  • Looking for problems

    Open AccessI C WinderARTICLEInternational Journal of…2012Cited by: 2References: 100

    This paper evaluates the potential contribution(s) of faunal analysis to hominin palaeoecology at regional and continental scales, through an explicit investigation of the values, methods and conceptual frameworks of palaeoanthropology and their compatibility with real data structures. It employs a problem-framing method developed in policy-relevant science to establish a suitable research design for 'large scale' faunal analysis, before testing …
