A Comparative Approach to Human Anatomy Outreach

Bringing high school students to the anatomy lab allows them to reinforce topics introduced in their classroom by providing an opportunity for experiential learning. They are able to engage with human tissue, as opposed to models and textbooks. However, whereas often medical and undergraduate students have the luxury of a slower exposure to the dissection of human materials, visiting high school students must obtain a level of comfort very quickly. In an attempt to facilitate this, an outreach activity geared toward high school students visiting the Sanborn Anatomy Lab at the Geisel School of Medicine was developed utilizing a recently created collection of comparative, non‐human, anatomical material; which consists primarily of bones, brains, and hearts. Visiting students view and discuss this material prior to a similar activity using a human cadaver. It has been observed that students participating in this activity are more comfortable and remain engaged throughout the length of the visit. Pre and post surveys are being used to formally confirm observed behavior. It is also possible that this activity could better highlight anatomical concepts such as analogous vs homologous structures, body organization, and form and function than human tissue alone. While the goal of this activity is to make visiting students more comfortable when viewing human cadavers, it could also increase the scope of the lab to include outreach groups with primary interests in biomechanics, evolution, and zoology. Additionally, the small initial investment of creating this collection has increased the utilization and visibility of the Sanborn Lab throughout the Dartmouth College community, with courses from the departments of Anthropology, Biology, and Psychology and Brain Sciences currently utilizing the comparative material and lab. The creation and implementation of a comparative collection could easily be scaled and implemented at any facility conducting similar outreach with minimal financial investment.

The Potential for Discrepancies in Population History Signatures from Different Segments of the Human Skeleton

The use of metric data from skeletal remains to assess models of evolutionary processes is a well‐established substitute for genomic data. However, it has been suggested in previous research that certain osteological elements retain population history signatures better than others because they are likely less subject to natural selection. This study examines the potential for differences in gene flow models using human crania (traits shown to evolve through neutral processes) versus postcrania (traits provisionally shown to have evolved in response to selection). In this study, we sampled from four large pueblos in the American Southwest representing a short temporal period and small geographic area (Arizona, c. 1200–1400, N=267). Based on a robust archaeological record detailing changes in material culture, researchers hypothesize immigration into this region from non‐local populations.The study uses gene flow models based on variance comparison methods developed by Relethford and Blangero. Metric data were analyzed using the R statistical environment and RMET 5.0, a program based on the Relethford‐Blangero statistics. Under a quantitative genetic model, gene flow results in higher‐than‐expected variance in a population, which RMET examines. Likewise, gene flow decreases the biodistance between populations sharing genes, and so these were compared through Mahalanobis D2 distances.Cranial and postcranial dimensions generally result in different patterns of gene flow. Comparing residual phenotypic variances from the Relethford‐Blangero model, only one of the four sites presents the same pattern of gene flow between cranial and postcranial results. Biodistance analyses show that the Pueblo population that is the greatest distance remains consistent in both crania and postcrania, but which of the other three is closest changes between the two body regions. This incongruence has implications for local disparities in the variance and in the mean differences between aspects of morphology.Either the upper or lower limb elements may be driving the discrepancies, as limb bones are shown to respond dissimilarly to selection on a global scale. We conducted analyses comparing results of the upper and lower limbs. The results indicate upper limb residual variances are higher, but only the lower limb matches the patterns observed in the overall postcranial analysis. Biological distance relationships are very similar between the limbs, though the lower limb data is closer in magnitude to the overall postcranial distance. It is possible that the lower limb is driving the variance results for the postcrania, a result that provisionally reflects the evolution of femoral traits in recent humans in response to neutral processes. This has implications for how we evaluate population history using phenotypic data, particularly considering which phenotypic data to employ.Support or Funding InformationThis research was partially funded by the University of Tennessee Department of Anthropology through a Kneberg‐Lewis Scholarship.

Choice of Hunting Method Influenced Human‐Carnivore Competition in Late Pleistocene Southeast Asia

Competition has been investigated as a source of dispersal pressure in animal species both past and present. Particularly in Southeast Asia, where the Pleistocene carnivore guild remains largely intact to this day, there is a unique opportunity to assess the effects of competition on both dietary and spatial (dispersal) niche partitioning behavior in humans. Here, we investigate the relationship of early modern humans to local carnivores during their likely period of dispersal through Laos and Vietnam (~80‐50ka) to – for the first time – assess humans as a member of a local carnivore guild. By using the Competition Index (CI), a method which has shown success in predicting competitive pressure in island Southeast Asian paleontological communities on a scale of 0 (no competition) to 1 (full prey overlap, maximum competition). We approach this research with a purposeful desire to remove the “bias of human exceptionalism” from our analysis, treating humans as another medium size animal. We find that humans definitively were subject to competitive pressure from concurrent carnivores, particularly medium‐size prey specialists like hyenas, dholes, and leopards (Max CI: 0.6, 0.5, 0.66 respectively). Additionally, we find that the estimated competitive pressure on humans changes accounting for hunting method (solo ambush vs. group hunting), with group hunting practices reducing competitive pressure for medium‐size prey, particularly from leopards. We suggest that hunting behavior may have been used along with dietary and spatial partitioning as a strategy to reduce competitive pressure during initial human dispersal in Southeast Asia and that biotic interactions should not be overlooked in studies of human dispersal in this region.Support or Funding InformationFunding for this work was provided by: National Geographic Early Career Grant #EC‐378R‐18, Wenner‐Gren Foundation Dissertation Fieldwork Grant, UIUC Anthropology Department, UIUC Graduate College, The Explorer’s Club Exploration Fund, and the Beckman Institute CS/AI Award.

An interview with Jonathan Rosa, expert in language, race, and education

Jonathan Rosa is Associate Professor in the Gradu-ate School of Education, Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity, and, by courtesy, Departments of Anthropology and Linguistics at Stanford University. His research combines sociocul-tural and linguistic anthropology to study the co-naturalization of language and race as a key feature of modern governance. Specifically, he analyzes the interplay between racial marginalization, linguistic stigmatization and educational inequity. Dr. Rosa is author of the book, Looking like a Language, Sounding like a Race: Raciolinguistic Ideologies and the Learning of Latinidad (2019, Oxford University Press) and co-editor of the volume Language and Social Justice in Practice (2019, Routledge). In addi-tion to his formal scholarly research, Dr. Rosa is an ongoing participant in public intellectual projects focused on race, education, language, youth, (im)migration, and U.S. Latinxs. His work has ap-peared in scholarly journals such as Language in Society, American Ethnologist, American Anthro-pologist, and the Journal of Linguistic Anthropolo-gy, as well as media outlets such as MSNBC, NPR, CNN, and Univision.

DETERMINATION OF INTRAVITAM BODY TYPE IN MEN DRAWING ON THE OSTEOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF SKELETONISED CLAVICLES

One of the major challenges faced by a forensic medical expert when performing the examination of bone remains for the purposes of personal identification is the determination of group characteristics, which include the person’s body type. The present study focuses on a new method for determining the intravitam body type when considering skeletonised remains.Aim. To develop diagnostic mathematico-statistical models that allow the intravitam body type in men to be determined, drawing on the osteometric characteristics of skeletonised clavicles.Material and methods. We studied clavicles from the osteological collection held at the Department of Anthropology, Lomonosov Moscow State University (62 adult male skeletons) according to the expanded osteometric program (15 characteristics). The obtained data were processed by StatSoft STATISTICA 10 using multivariate stepwise discriminant analysis (MDA).Results. We have developed diagnostic models allowing the intravitam body type (ectomorph, mesomorph and endomorph) to be determined on the basis of skeletonised clavicles with an accuracy of 62.9–79 %. Using the proposed models, a more accurate determination of ectomorphs and mesomorphs (90 %) than endomorphs (41–58.8 %) is observed. In order to increase the objectiveness of the expert’s conclusion, we used function Pl showing the probability of correct body type classification in every single case. The diagnostic models were successfully verified using the skeletal samples held at the Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography, with the maximum accuracy level reaching 80 %.

Fieldwork at sunset

AbstractMost institutional anthropology departments have a website, to tout credentials, attract students, and offer information. These websites also take up the visual task of disciplinary representation, but their images have skipped the scrutiny that is necessary and overdue. This article analyzes online images of sociocultural anthropology across one hundred high-ranking universities worldwide. We show how, online, a discipline defined by diversity becomes readily reducible to “exotic” geographies and objectified “others.” While the urban serves as an unattractive foil, frequent images of children recall charity campaigns. Such visual tropes—which comprise a significant, public interface for anthropology—are not just awkwardly dated but also do disservice to ambitions for public anthropology. Change, we suggest, must begin at (the) home(page).

Editor's Note

Editor's Note John A. Erickson It is with great sadness that I report that Anthropological Linguistics has lost two valued members of our publishing team at Indiana University over the past year–first, Raymond J. DeMallie, an associate board member, emeritus professor in the Department of Anthropology, and former co-director of the American Indian Studies Research Institute, who passed away in April 2021, and then, shortly afterwards, our editor, Douglas R. Parks, also emeritus professor in the Department of Anthropology and former co-director of the Institute, who passed away in May 2021. While not unexpected, their deaths have been a profound loss to their fields of research and to the publication of studies on Native American languages and cultures. Having taken on the editorship of Anthropological Linguistics in the early 1990s, Doug was committed to reinvigorating the mission of the journal originally established by Florence ("Flo") Voegelin in 1959, by publishing studies of endangered and poorly documented languages from around the world, and especially research on Native American languages and cultures. It was shortly thereafter that he hired me to work on his own Native American language projects after I had returned from a year and half of fieldwork overseas as a graduate student in Central Asia. Before long, Doug then hired me as managing editor of the journal, a role in which I have continued to this day, while also finishing my Ph.D. and pursuing my own research interests at Indiana University. It is thus with mixed feelings of sadness and renewed commitment that I have agreed to take on the role of acting editor-in-chief at Anthropological Linguistics pending the appointment of a new editor. Hence, the mission continues, while the memories that remain will be shared in obituaries for both Doug and Ray in forthcoming issues. [End Page 1] John A.

Divergent Paths to Career Fulfillment in Applied Anthropology

Despite their academic training, most anthropologists do not work in tenure-track positions in departments of anthropology. While some systematic data indicate where these anthropologists are employed, we know less about their experiences or what led them to work outside the academy. This paper discusses examples of divergent career paths among the special issue contributors and analyzes key themes in their papers. While their histories vary generationally, our authors share commonalities. Many mastered cross-over skills that prepared them to work collaboratively and to apply anthropological insights and methods in research and community settings. Some perceived stigma and barriers to communicating with traditional academic colleagues. Others merged theory and practice to develop pedagogical reforms. Drawing on lessons as mentors in training programs and advocates in our own careers, we recommend that practitioners' narratives be used to re-imagine career options, revise training programs, and increase visibility for applied careers across the anthropological community.

A. G. Tassin’s 1877 Manuscript Account of Natural Conditions and Historical Settlements on the Lower Colorado River

A. G. Tassin’s 1877 Manuscript Account of Natural Conditions and Historical Settlements on the Lower Colorado River Jerry Schaefer (bio) Introduction On October 31, 1877, Second Lieutenant Captain Augustus G. Tassin (1842–1893) of the 12th U.S. Infantry at Camp (or Fort) Mohave submitted to his commanding officer a handwritten and self-illustrated report on the natural history, historical geography, and ethnography of the lower Colorado River valley. His report was prepared in response to a Circular of October 5, 1877, from the Engineer Office, Military Division of the Pacific, for use by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It might be expected that a 47-page manuscript of such meticulous detail and obvious personal knowledge of the region would have been published like so many of the early explorers’ and military accounts of the lower Colorado River area (Emory 1848; Farquhar 1991; Ives 1861; Möllhausen 1858, 1861; Whipple et al. 1856; Williamson 1853). It was obviously read by various officials and even a small section on the local flora was published, but for the most part it remained in its original form even after it was deposited in the archives of the Bureau of American Ethnology at the Smithsonian Institution in April 1926. Today the manuscript can be found at the National Anthropological Archives (NAA), Department of Anthropology, National Museum of Natural History. Known only to a few scholars, and occasionally referenced, the substance of the manuscript and remarkable illustrations remained largely unknown to the wider academic community, until now. There are several possible reasons that Tassin’s report was never published by the U.S. government, unlike many other field reports on the region. Although the penmanship is neat and regular, Tassin’s handwriting can still be difficult to read. Secondly, much of the information in this portion of the report was known [End Page 177] and more professionally presented from other sources by 1877. For example, take Wheeler’s (1876) nearly contemporary report with objective descriptions of the terrain, scientific data, maps drawn by professional cartographers, and, for the first time in Colorado River explorations, photographs. Some of Tassin’s plans may actually be based on the Wheeler report. Thirdly, French-born Tassin’s prose may have been considered too idiosyncratic even by contemporary literary conventions, peppered as it is with personal opinions and allusions to European history. Nevertheless, Tassin does provide details, data sets, and plans that are not readily available from other sources. We are fortunate that the manuscript was preserved and a high-quality digital scan was produced and posted by the NAA in association with this transcription project (Tassin 1877). I am grateful to them for permission to publish.1 Augustus G. Tassin (October 12, 1842–October 19, 1893) had a colorful personal history and unusual abilities. Much of his life was shaped by his role in the American military’s pacification of Native Americans in the West (Altshuler 1991; Murray 2013; Patterson 2005; Schaefer and Laylander 2014; Thrapp 1988–1994:1403). His biography is well documented although sources differ in minor details. Born in Paris, France, Tassin was only ten years old when he immigrated through the New Orleans port of entry. He was living in Leopold, Indiana, when the Civil War broke out. Five months into the war, he enlisted in “D” Company of the 35th Indiana Infantry, just a month short of his twentieth birthday. He was assigned the rank of first lieutenant shortly after his enlistment on September 15, 1861. By the end of the war, he had risen to the rank of full colonel, and later was awarded several honorary breveted ranks for his meritorious service in the Battle of Missionary Ridge and the Atlanta and Nashville campaigns. After the war he married Mary Tilley and had three children. Tassin left the army on December 1, 1870, to fight in the Franco-Prussian War on the French side. Upon his return he reenlisted in 1872 as a private in the Signal Corps, but was commissioned a second lieutenant in the 12th Infantry the following year. He continued his military career for most of his life, attaining the rank of first lieutenant in 1878 and...

Studying National Commemoration and Political Celebrations in Africa: The Online Archive African Independence Days

AbstractThe Department of Anthropology and African Studies (ifeas) at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz hosts a comprehensive archive on African Independence Day celebrations. Created in 2010, the archive is one of the outcomes of a large comparative research project on African national days directed by Carola Lentz. It offers unique insights into practices of as well as debates on national commemoration and political celebrations in Africa. The archive holds more than 28,000 images, including photographs, newspaper articles, documents, and objects from twelve African countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Ghana, Madagascar, Mali, Namibia, Nigeria, and Tanzania. It primarily consists of an online photo and newspaper archive (https://bildarchiv.uni-mainz.de/AUJ/; https://www.blogs.uni-mainz.de/fb07-ifeas-eng/departmental-archives/online-archive-african-independence-days/); some of the material is also stored in the physical archive on African Independence Days at ifeas as well as in the department's ethnographic collection (https://www.blogs.uni-mainz.de/fb07-ifeas-eng/ethnographic-collection/). Most of the material concerns recent celebrations, but the collection has been complemented by some documentation of earlier festivities. Archives hold many stories while they also have a story to tell in their own right. This article discusses both aspects. It first traces the history of the Online Archive African Independence Days at ifeas. It then provides an overview of the different categories of material stored in the archive and tells a few of the many stories that the photos, texts and objects contain. We hope to demonstrate that the archive holds a wealth of sources that can be mined for studies on national commemoration and political celebrations in Africa, and, more generally, on practices and processes of nation-building and state-making.

О стенограмме лекционного курса Г. Ф. Дебеца на кафедре антропологии МГУ в 1954 г.

The subject of this study was a poorly readable 66 years old typewritten text. This is a transcript of twenty lectures by the outstanding Russian anthropologist Georgy Debets (1905–1969), a record of his training course “Anthropology of the Peoples of USSR”. In 1954, he taught it at the Department of Anthropology at Moscow State University. Initially G. F. Debets had intended to write a textbook based on this lectures, but he did not fulfill this idea. The characteristics of the training course are given in general terms. The main attention is paid to how G. F. Debets saw the history of anthropological study of the peoples of Russia. At the same time, certain changes were taken into account both in the theory and practice of anthropological studies that have taken place since the early 1950s. The 1st lecture was delivered on September 6th, 1954, the last lecture was dated to the end of December of the same year. The lecture transcripts are mainly 30–40 pages long, with the exception of lectures on the peoples of Kazakhstan and Central Asia, which fit in 50 pages. The first two lectures were devoted to the study of the history of the peoples of the USSR from ancient antiquity to the present, the 3–5th lectures dealt with the methodology of studying the modern and fossil population, meaning racial somatology and craniology. The 6th lecture outlined the principles of the classification of modern human races and described the various existing classifications. Five lectures (7–11th) were devoted to the review of the country's population paleoanthropology from the Paleolithic era until the Middle Ages, inclusive. The next nine lectures covered the anthropology of peoples living in separate geographical areas. G. F. Debets pointed that the course he taught was not about the history of Russian anthropology, so he would not touch on many works of the 19th century. The first lectures outline the stages of development of anthropological research of the peoples of the USSR and state the results of isolated stages, which are reflected unevenly. Both this periodization and the characteristics of the stages do not always coincide with the periodization that was presented in the university textbooks of anthropology that appeared later. For this reason, the transcript of lectures of 1954 is a valuable source both for the history of physical anthropology as a whole and for understanding the scientific views of one of the founders of modern anthropology.

Antropologia e desenvolvimento

Este artigo analisa o trabalho de profissionais em antropologia que se dedicam ao campo autodefinido da “antropologia para o desenvolvimento”, tanto aqueles que trabalham dentro das instituições para o fomento do desenvolvimento quanto nos departamentos de antropologia com a preparação dos alunos. Esboça também uma crítica do desenvolvimento e da antropologia para o desenvolvimento, elaborada desde o final da década de 80 por um número crescente de profissionais da área, denominada “antropologia do desenvolvimento”. Finalmente analisa algumas das estratégias possíveis para sair do impasse criado por essas duas posições, a partir do trabalho de antropólogos e antropólogas que experimentam com modos criativos de articular a teoria e a prática antropológica no campo do desenvolvimento.

Report: Abstracts from the 71st Caddo Conference held at University of Central Arkansas

The 61st Caddo Conference was held on March 21-23, 2019 in the McCastlain Hall Ballroom on the campus of UCA. The Caddo Conference coincided with Arkansas Archeology Month. Funding was provided by UCA Foundation, the Department of Sociology, Criminology, and Anthropology (SCA) at UCA, the Caddo Conference Organization, the Arkansas Archeological Survey, and the Arkansas Archeological Society. The conference began Friday, March 21st at 9am with several research presentations throughout the day. Twelve presentations and three research posters were presented. Additionally, several book publishers and Caddo artists displayed books and art for sale. There were 45 paid registrants attending the conference. Maximum attendance was during the Saturday afternoon public session, which is estimated around 100 people. A special Saturday afternoon "Caddo Art and Heritage" session featured Caddo culture, art, and dance. In the session, six contemporary Caddo artists discussed their ceramic, beadwork, and stonework art.

Valencia’s ‘Men for Equality’ movement. An assessment of some of its protagonists

The Men for Equality movement [El movimiento de hombres por la igualdad - HPLI], although a fairly recent phenomenon, already has a forty year track record in Valencia. The movement has had its high and low points. After the trail blazed by protagonists in Valencian society, a period of consolidation followed in which those who came after them kept the movement going. A qualitative study carried out by the Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology records the impressions of those men who kept the movement alive between 1975 and 2018 despite the odds at the outset. These voices are analysed within frameworks for interpreting movements. As a social movement, Men for Equality developed new codes of behaviour and meaning. The resultsreveal the need – now greater than ever – of a paradigm shift in masculinity in Spain and Valencia.

2019 ATBC Honorary Fellows

In 1963, the Council of the Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation established the election of Honorary Fellows as “persons of long distinguished service to tropical biology.” This is the highest award given by the Association: To date more than 80 Honorary Fellows from over 15 countries have been elected by the Council. This year, we are fortunate to have two outstanding Fellows. On behalf of The Honorary Fellow Nomination Committee, we present the 2019 Honorary Fellows as follows: Professor Jonah Ratsimbazafy is a renowned Malagasy primatologist who has made substantial contributions to the conservation of Madagascar’s imperiled biodiversity, especially saving iconic, evolutionary unique and endemic Malagasy primates from the brink of extinction, through his research, teaching and outreach activities. His efforts in environmental protection and conservation in Madagascar has been internationally recognized with prestigious awards like the Disney Conservation Hero Award. He has been invited to present seminars worldwide. Professor Ratsimbazafy earned a Ph.D. in Anthropology from SUNY Stony Brook University, New York (2002), and is currently the President of GERP (Groupe d’Etude et de Recherche sur les Primates de Madagascar), an organization that advocates for the conservation of lemurs. He is also a Professor in the Department of Paleontology and Anthropology at the University of Antananarivo and has been a mentor for many young Malagasy anthropologists. He has been a very active researcher and has published more than 90 scientific papers. He has also been an active member of various national and international conservation organizations. He is currently serving as the Vice-Chair of IUCN’s Primate Specialist Group—Madagascar section, and as a member of the editorial board of the International Journal of Primatology and the Madagascar Conservation and Development journal. He also served as Co-Chair of the Local Organizing Committee for ATBC 2019 and was one of the keynote speakers (Figure 1). Dr. Goodman received his PhD from the University of Hamburg, Germany. He is a MacArthur Field Biologist on staff for the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago and has spent three decades documenting biodiversity in Madagascar as a conservation biologist in residence in collaboration with WWF. His research interests include inventories of poorly known forest areas, description of animals and their natural history in Madagascar. He has written and edited some of the most important books for natural history and biological conservation of fauna and flora in Madagascar, including Natural History of Madagascar (2003), Extinct Madagascar (2014) and most recently, a recent three volume set “Terrestrial Protected Areas of Madagascar” (2019). He has made critical contributions to education and capacity building for conservation biology in Madagascar. He is the founder of the Association Vahatra, a grassroots organization that promotes conservation of native fauna in Madagascar, while training the next generation of biologists and conservation scientists. For these activities, he has been recognized by many awards, including Conservation Leadership Award of WWF (2004), MacArthur Foundation Fellow (2005) and Leopold Prize of the American Society of Mammalogy (2018). He served as a key member of the Scientific Committee of ATBC Annual Meeting in 2019, gave a keynote presentation and was instrumental in securing funding to support the participation of Malagasy students (Figure 2).
