  Vitamin D Deficiency In Modern Humans and Neanderthals Vitamin D Deficiency In Modern Humans and Neanderthals OTHER ARTICLES Raising awareness so you and your family can avoid the dire health risks of vitamin D deficiency. All modern humans are tropically adapted mammals but many live above the 35th latitude where their technology, rather than their biology, has been used to adapt to the temperate and arctic conditions not encountered by their tropical ancestors. While this has been the case with ambient temperature where cold stress and hypothermia were immediately recognized and dealt with 40,000 years ago with clothing, fire, and shelters, there was another far more subtle stress that went unrecognized until the last 60 years. That stress at high latitudes was toxically low levels of UVB radiation, the component of sunlight that promotes the natural synthesis of vitamin D in skin exposed to it. Vitamin D is a hormone, not a vitamin, and its function is to promote (up-regulate)...

  Peace Is Everything: The World View of Muslims and Traditionalists in the Senegambia (Publications in Ethnography, vol. 28) Peace Is Everything: The World View of Muslims and Traditionalists in the Senegambia (Publications in Ethnography, vol. 28) OTHER ARTICLES The World View of Muslim and Traditionalist in the Senegambia subregion are studied. A world-view approach is followed, based on an eight-level model that is developed in the book. The result is a comprehensive view of the religious practices being followed and a broad understanding of the integrated conceptual system on which they are based. The belief systems of most Muslim societies are expressed through a complex mixture of orthodox and nonorthodox practices. Studies of these systems have usually focused on either orthodox or mystical Islam or on folk beliefs and practices and have not attempted to look at the complete range of beliefs and practices present in one society, as does this volume. Senegambia world view fo...

  Seizing the Means of Reproduction: Entanglements of Feminism, Health, and Technoscience (Experimental Futures) Seizing the Means of Reproduction: Entanglements of Feminism, Health, and Technoscience (Experimental Futures) OTHER ARTICLES In Seizing the Means of Reproduction, Michelle Murphy's initial focus on the alternative health practices developed by radical feminists in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s opens into a sophisticated analysis of the transnational entanglements of American empire, population control, neoliberalism, and late-twentieth-century feminisms. Murphy concentrates on the technoscientific means—the technologies, practices, protocols, and processes—developed by feminist health activists. She argues that by politicizing the technical details of reproductive health, alternative feminist practices aimed at empowering women were also integral to late-twentieth-century biopolitics.Murphy traces the transnational circulation of cheap, do-it-yourself hea...

  Identified Flying Objects: A Multidisciplinary Scientific Approach to the UFO Phenomenon Identified Flying Objects: A Multidisciplinary Scientific Approach to the UFO Phenomenon OTHER ARTICLES Could “UFOs” and “Aliens” simply be us, but from the future? This provocative new book cautiously examines the premise that extraterrestrials may instead be our distant human descendants, using the anthropological tool of time travel to visit and study us in their own hominin evolutionary past. Dr. Michael P. Masters, a professor of biological anthropology specializing in human evolutionary anatomy, archaeology, and biomedicine, explores how the persistence of long-term biological and cultural trends in human evolution may ultimately result in us becoming the ones piloting these disc-shaped craft, which are likely the very devices that allow our future progeny to venture backward across the landscape of time. Moreover, these extratempestrials are ubiquitously described as bipedal, large-b...

  NurtureShock: New Thinking About Children NurtureShock: New Thinking About Children OTHER ARTICLES In a world of modern, involved, caring parents, why are so many kids aggressive and cruel? Where is intelligence hidden in the brain, and why does that matter? Why do cross-racial friendships decrease in schools that are more integrated?

  Becoming Legal: Immigration Law and Mixed-Status Families Becoming Legal: Immigration Law and Mixed-Status Families OTHER ARTICLES There are approximately eleven million undocumented people living in the United States, and most of them have family members who are U.S. citizens. There is a common perception that marriage to a U.S. citizen puts undocumented immigrants on a quick-and-easy path to U.S. citizenship. But forpeople who have entered the U.S. unlawfully and live here without papers, the line to legal status is neither short nor easy, even for those with spouses who are U.S. citizens.Becoming Legal: Immigration Law and Mixed-Status Families follows mixed-status couples down the long and bumpy road of immigration processing.

  Nature Via Nurture: Genes, Experience, and What Makes Us Human Nature Via Nurture: Genes, Experience, and What Makes Us Human OTHER ARTICLES Following his highly praised and bestselling book Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters, Matt Ridley has written a brilliant and profound book about the roots of human behavior. Nature via Nurture explores the complex and endlessly intriguing question of what makes us who we are.In February 2001 it was announced that the human genome contains not 100,000 genes, as originally postulated, but only 30,000. This startling revision led some scientists to conclude that there are simply not enough human genes to account for all the different ways people behave: we must be made by nurture, not nature. Yet again biology was to be stretched on the Procrustean bed of the nature-nurture debate. Matt Ridley argues that the emerging truth is far more interesting than this myth. Nurture depends on genes, too, and genes need nurture. Genes n...

  Death Without Weeping: The Violence of Everyday Life in Brazil Death Without Weeping: The Violence of Everyday Life in Brazil OTHER ARTICLES When lives are dominated by hunger, what becomes of love?

Bringing her readers to the impoverished slopes above the modern plantation town of Bom Jesus de Mata, where she has worked on and off for 25 years, Nancy Scheper-Hughes follows three generations of shantytown women as they struggle to survive through hard work, cunning and triage. It is a story of class relations told at the most basic level of bodies, emotions, desires and needs. Most disturbing – and controversial – is her finding that mother love, as conventionally understood, is something of a bourgeois myth, a...

  Olmecs: America's First Civilization (Ancient Peoples & Places) Olmecs: America's First Civilization (Ancient Peoples & Places) OTHER ARTICLES The Olmecs of southern Mexico are America's oldest civilization and Mesoamerica's Mother Culture. Long famous for their colossal heads carved from giant boulders, the Olmecs have fascinated the public and archaeologists alike since the 1940s when National Geographic magazine reported the initial explorations of their centers. Despite well-publicized discoveries of spectacular basalt sculptures, portable jade objects, and richly decorated pottery vessels, until recently almost nothing was known about Olmec history, foreign contacts, and daily life. Now archaeologists have recovered information that allows them to assemble a reasonably complete picture of Olmec culture and its impact on later Mexican civilizations.The Olmecs established the first cities in the Americas on high ground overlooking the rivers that meander ac...
