Alan Macfarlane on 'modernity' and anthropology

By ALAN MACFARLANE. THOMAS HUXLEY WAS a polymath and supporter of Darwin. He surveyed the whole world through its long history and helped to establish the foundations of the great Evolutionary paradigm about which I shall be talking shortly. Huxley’s example encourages me as his descendant to think in a broad way. So I shall stand back from the detail and try to look down from a high mountain on the last three centuries within which anthropology as we know it has developed.

When we look at that understanding of ourselves and others which we call anthropology, it is tempting to divide what has happened into three grand periods or paradigms in the Kuhnian sense.

INTRODUCTION TO THE PALEOLITHIC DIET

Ben Balzer, family physician There are races of people who are all slim, who are stronger and faster than us. They all have straight teeth and perfect eyesight. Arthritis, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, stroke, depression, schizophrenia and cancer are absolute rarities for them. These people are the last 84 tribes of hunter-gatherers in the world. The diet is usually referred to as the "Paleolithic Diet" referring to the Paleolithic or Stone Age era. The basic principles of the Paleolithic Diet are so simple that most high school students can understand them. All major dietary components are covered- (i.e. vitamins, fats, protein, fats, carbohydrates, antioxidants and phytosterols etc). Joseph Beuys. Joseph Beuys (German pronunciation: [ˈjoːzɛf ˈbɔʏs]; 12 May 1921 – 23 January 1986) was a German Fluxus, happening and performance artist as well as a sculptor, installation artist, graphic artist, art theorist and pedagogue of art.

Joseph Beuys

His extensive work is grounded in concepts of humanism, social philosophy and anthroposophy; it culminates in his "extended definition of art" and the idea of social sculpture as a gesamtkunstwerk, for which he claimed a creative, participatory role in shaping society and politics. His career was characterized by passionate, even acrimonious public debate, but he is now regarded as one of the most influential artists of the second half of the 20th century.[1][2] Biography[edit] Childhood and early life in the Third Reich (1921–1941)[edit] Joseph Beuys was born in Krefeld, the son of the merchant Josef Jakob Beuys (1888–1958) and Johanna Maria Margarete Beuys (born Hülsermann, 1889–1974).

Brain Games & Brain Training. Will We Ever Have a Fully Digital Brain? Dark winters 'led to bigger human brains and eyeballs' 27 July 2011Last updated at 08:26 By Judith Burns Science reporter, BBC News Researchers measured skulls from the 1800s Humans living at high latitude have bigger eyes and bigger brains to cope with poor light during long winters and cloudy days, UK scientists have said.

Dark winters 'led to bigger human brains and eyeballs'

The Oxford University team said bigger brains did not make people smarter. Larger vision processing areas fill the extra capacity, they write in the Royal Society's Biology Letters journal. The scientists measured the eye sockets and brain volumes of 55 skulls from 12 populations across the world, and plotted the results against latitude. Lead author Eiluned Pearce told BBC News: "We found a positive relationship between absolute latitude and both eye socket size and cranial capacity. "
