Culture and the Changing Environment
Today human ecology has split into many different sub-disciplines such as historical ecology, political ecology or the New Ecological Anthropology. The latter in particular has criticised the predominance of the Western view on different ecosystems, arguing that culture-specific world views and human-environment interactions have been largely neglected. However, these different perspectives only tackle specific facets of a local and global hyper-…

Between Culture and Biology
Between Culture and Biology breaks away from the traditional nature/nurture dialectic and brings together biological, psychological and cultural perspectives on development. In this thought-provoking book, the argument is put forward that the biological bases of behaviour and cultural context should be approached in an integrated fashion to properly understand ontogenetic development and that both the cultural and biological demain provide constr…
Of Lions, Herders and Conservationists
Introduction Conflicts between pastoral nomads and protectionists and the various attempts undertaken in recent years to solve these have been widely described and analysed for East Africa. The claim that grazing by nomadic herds leads to competition between domesticated and wild ungulates over fodder, the extraction of forest produce and the felling of trees has more often than hot led to the expulsion of pastoral peoples from `protected areas' …
Environment, Property Resources and the State
The Nomad and the State This is the third time in one decade that Nomadic Peoples is publishing a special issue on the relationship between nomads and the state. In 1990, Mohamed Salih guest-edited the first such issue (`Perspectives on Pastoralists and the African States') and six years later, Georg Klute guest-edited the issue `Nomads and the State'. Apparently, the topic elicits enough interest among scholars of nomadism to warrant a third iss…

A Stereotyped Minority "Zigeuner" in Two Centuries of German Reference Literature
This paper reviews the entry "Zigeuner" in thirty editions of general encyclopaedias in the German language between 1819 and 1986. The entries were found to be largely repetitive, stereotyped, and much of the "information" plainly fictive. While the homogeneity of "Gypsies" is concluded explicitly in almost all these editions, there is a chronological variation in the stereotypes. The entries exhibit both racism and romanticism, both fear and fas…

Vertical Control in the Western Himalaya
Anthropological Applications of Optimal Foraging Theory
Recent applications of models of optimal foraging behavior to human foraging economies are summarized and evaluated. These models predict patterns of prey choice, habitat use, time allocation, settlement pattern, and foraging group size that will maximize some objective currency (such as the net rate of energy capture while foraging) under the constraints of resource characteristics and forager capabilities pertaining to a particular situation. I…
Herds and Households among Pashtun Pastoral Nomads
This article deals mainly with herd management and household budget among Pashtun nomadic pastoralists in western Afghanistan. Other aspects, such as shepherd contracts, labor organization, and economic relations with the nonpastoral world, are described briefly. The ecological data relevant to this article have been published elsewhere (Casimir et al. 1980). We will not attempt to construct a model ofthe nomadic economy, nor even of western or C…
Some data on the systematic position of the Eastern gorilla population of the Mt. Kahuzi region (République du Zaire)
The classification of the Eastern gorilla population of the Mt. Kahuzi area is attempted. Comparison with the Virunga Volcano and Eastern Lowland populations by skull measurement data indicates an intermediate position. Comparison of mandible data however points to a linkage between the Mt. Kahuzi and Eastern Lowland popu lations. This conclusion is bolstered by several geographical facts and by data on defecation habits among the three Eastern g…
