My lonely münü in the immensity of the forest. I'm just one more among the other beings of the valley; not the center, nor the periphery. I'm a cosmological node. I hunt limpets and peccaries, but jaguars and spirits will hunt me.

Visual psychological phenomenon may have stimulated early humans to make cave art
https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1002309
Specifically, the idea is
that cave artists may have experienced #pareidolia – a psychological phenomenon where people see meaningful forms in random patterns, such as seeing faces in clouds. #science #anthropology #humans #CaveArt
One more posthumous book by #DavidGraeber. Is he the Tupak of nonfiction?
"As questions of decolonisation rub up against the legacy of Enlightenment thinking in the West, anthropologist David Graeber argues in his posthumous book Pirate Enlightenment, or the Real Libertalia (to be published early next year) that Enlightenment ideas themselves are not intrinsically European and were indeed shaped by non-European sources."

Life Sentence for Professor Rahile Dawut Confirmed: According to a source in the Chinese government, Professor Rahile Dawut (راھىلە داۋۇت, 热依拉 · 达吾提), an acclaimed Uyghur intellectual and expert on Uyghur folklore and traditions, is serving a life sentence for endangering state security.
The Dui Hua Foundation (Dui Hua) had previously been told by a Chinese official that Professor Rahile Dawut was tried in December 2018, one year after her detention, for the crime of “splittism” — a crime of endangering state security — by an intermediate people’s court in Xinjiang. She was convicted and appealed the sentence. The most recent information confirmed that her appeal was subsequently rejected by the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region High People’s Court.
Professor Rahile Dawut’s sentence comes with the supplemental sentence of deprivation of political rights for life.

The Ugly Tax: "That pattern also occurs in married couples: Attractive, well-educated, high-earning people tend to marry people like themselves. In fact, economists say that this growing trend of “assortative mating” is a major cause of income inequality, because a household with two high earners makes so much more money than a household with two low earners (or only one earner)."

This house, the Karacha, is occupied only once a year to store and grind corn, for the great Kuhe (corn bun) festival. Only those who are going to grind the corn can enter and the presence of the chief is especially repelled in it. Wealth must not be manipulated and managed by an idle individual. It belongs to the festival, for the collective joy.

"Where Walter Benjamin claims that, since history is written by the victors, every document of civilisation is a document of barbarism, Graeber and Wengrow seek to re-write certain foundational documents. However, while Benjamin writes against the grain in the name of the oppressed, the proletariat, Graeber and Wengrow appear to do so in the name of ‘freedom’."

Always fun to see someone puncture the unwarranted hype around Joseph Campbell and the Hero's Journey, but this one is extra-detailed.

Our ancestors may have come close to extinction 900,000 years ago
A genetic analysis suggests our ancestral population fell as low as around 1300 individuals nearly a million years ago, but other experts aren't convinced
The population of our ancestors may have plummeted to as low as 1300 around 900,000 years ago, possibly as a result of our ancestral species splitting from other early humans.

Well, firstly you mind your own business. If it’s not your culture, it’s not your business. If someone asks for your assistance, and if you agree to provide it, you ask exactly what you’re being asked to do. Then, when your services are no longer required, you stop, and you don’t brag about it. Most importantly, you don’t use somebody else’s struggle for cultural equality to platform your own career. #anthropology #CulturalAnthropology

I've been a #solarpunk for a while now, but how would I do research on the community itself? I want a "vibe check" on what people are talking about, the sorts of arguments we tend to have, what texts/theories/people we canonize.

My latest for CNN: New analysis of skulls dating to 1,300+ years ago in ancient Japan hint at cranial modification practices in the Hirota people.
Skulls of men and women alike were flattened & squared off in the back, & may have been reshaped during infancy to demonstrate group identity.
Hirota burials were richly decorated with shells that came from thousands of miles to the south, likely acquired through trade.

In “The Giving Environment: Another Perspective on the Economic System of Gatherer-Hunters,” the #anthropologist Nurit Bird-David described an interesting social institution among the Nayaka, a forager society in southern India. Bird-David calls this “demand sharing.”
“Nayaka give to each other, request from each other, expect to get what they ask for, and feel obliged to give what they are asked for. They do not give resources to each other in a calculated, foresighted fashion, with a view to receiving something in return, nor do they make claims for debts.”

We need to devote as much attention to these aspects of contemporary technology giants as we do to their monopolistic and surveillance practices.
An #anthropology of contemporary capitalism must address these kinds of daydreams and delusions. They don't only cloud the minds of isolated billionaires. They shape real institutions in ways unpredictable by studying markets and profit alone.
Those of us trying to understand capitalism in the age of #billionaires need to pay attention to what besides profit itself is inspiring accumulation and shaping investments.
Fantasies and imagined futures are shaping billion-dollar flows of money.
I'm excited to say I'll be presenting at the American Folklore Society conference (Portland) and also the American Anthropological Association conference (Toronto) this November. Learn more and register to attend! https://elisabethcarolharveymccumber.com/speaking/

@simon Are we allowed to apply this to French philosophy as well? #Anthropology
@Loukas I am not really qualified to answer this as I am not a political scientist (I am in fact writing a paper right now about what my own discipline, #Anthropology, can and should do, this is why I am thinking about different social sciences). Yes, there are political scientists working on the threat of fascism, as there are, of course, ones working on #climateemergency. But i don't think the discipline as a whole has stepped up, collectively - no discipline has. We all need to do this
