PDF-(EBOOK)-A New Human: The Startling Discovery and Strange Story of the Hobbits of Flores,

In October 2004 a team of Australian and Indonesian anthropologists led by Mike Morwood and Raden Pandji Soejono stunned the world with their announcement of the discovery of the first example of a new species of human Homo floresiensis which they nicknamed the Hobbit This was no creation of Tolkiens fantasy however but a toolusing firemaking cooperatively hunting person The more Morwood and his colleagues revealed about the find the more astonishing it became standing only three feet tall with brains a little larger than a can of cola the Hobbits forced anthropologists and everyone to reconsider what it means to be humanMorwoods work was no ordinary academic exercise Along the way he had to tread warily through the cultural landscape of Indonesiahe has an embarrassing mishap with some hardtochew porkand he demonstrated that sometimes the life of a real archaeologist can be a bit like Indiana Joness when he risked his neck in an oceangoing raft to experience how ancient Indonesians might have navigated the archipelagoEven more Morwood had to navigate the rock shoals of an archaeological bureaucracy that could be obtuse and even spiteful and when the Hobbits became embroiled in scientific controversyas no find of such magnitude could avoidit proved easy for Morwood to get nearly swamped with trouble Finds were stolen and damaged and the backbiting was fierce But the light of science once brightened is difficult to dim and the story of the indefatigable Morwoods fight to defend his find discovery is an inspiration.

The Strange World of Human Sacrifice is the first modern collection of studies on one of the most gruesome and intriguing aspects of religion. The volume starts with a brief introduction, which is followed by studies of Aztec human sacrifice and the literary motif of human sacrifice in medieval Irish literature. Turning to ancient Greece, three cases of human sacrifice are analysed: a ritual example, a mythical case, and one in which myth and ritual are interrelated. The early Christians were the victims of accusations of human sacrifice, but in turn imputed the crime to heterodox Christians, just as the Jews imputed the crime to their neighbours. The ancient Egyptians rarely seem to have practised human sacrifice, but buried the pharaoh\'s servants with him in order to serve him in the afterlife, albeit only for a brief period at the very beginning of pharaonic civilization. In ancient India we can follow the traditions of human sacrifice from the earliest texts up to modern times, where especially in eastern India goddesses, such as Kali, were long worshipped with human victims. In Japanese tales human sacrifice often takes the form of self-sacrifice, and there may well be a line from these early sacrifices to modern kamikaze. The last study throws a surprising light on human sacrifice in China. The volume is concluded with a detailed index This first-person narrative about an archaeological discovery is rewriting the story of human evolution. A story of defiance and determination by a controversial scientist, this is Lee Berger\'s own take on finding Homo naledi, an all-new species on the human family tree and one of the greatest discoveries of the 21st century.In 2013, Berger, a National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence, caught wind of a cache of bones in a hard-to-reach underground cave in South Africa. He put out a call around the world for petite collaborators--men and women small and adventurous enough to be able to squeeze through 8-inch tunnels to reach a sunless cave 40 feet underground. With this team of underground astronauts, Berger made the discovery of a lifetime: hundreds of prehistoric bones, including entire skeletons of at least 15 individuals, all perhaps two million years old. Their features combined those of known prehominids like Lucy, the famous Australopithecus, with those more human than anything ever before seen in prehistoric remains. Berger\'s team had discovered an all new species, and they called it Homo naledi.The cave quickly proved to be the richest primitive hominid site ever discovered, full of implications that shake the very foundation of how we define what makes us human. Did this species come before, during, or after the emergence of Homo sapiens on our evolutionary tree? How did the cave come to contain nothing but the remains of these individuals? Did they bury their dead? If so, they must have had a level of self-knowledge, including an awareness of death. And yet those are the very characteristics used to define what makes us human. Did an equally advanced species inhabit Earth with us, or before us? Berger does not hesitate to address all these questions.Berger is a charming and controversial figure, and some colleagues question his interpretation of this and other finds. But in these pages, this charismatic and visionary paleontologist counters their arguments and tells his personal story: a rich and readable narrative about science, exploration, and what it means to be human. The Discovery Discipline method by Tristan Charvillat and R233mi Guyot is the result of 15 years of experience in the Tech Industry.This 7-step method gives all the keys to transform problems into solutions to gain speed of execution quality and confidence.Actionable and pragmatic this method finally gives the keys to make Product Discovery terribly efficient.
