Bantu in the Crystal Ball, II

Interest in the question of Bantu expansion rose dramatically in the 1950s as historians, archeologists, and anthropologists all joined in the fray. This reflected both the rise of Africa in world affairs and the expansion of research in general. The scholars involved were typically a new breed of professionals, and as such more dependent than their predecessors on universities or research institutions. The School of Oriental and African Studies in London achieved overwhelming dominance from about 1950 until the late 1960s, so that opinions held by its staff found the widest audience. The new scholars also were, for the most part, anti-racist, sympathetic to African nationalisms, and of liberal or socialist persuasion. They tended to reject the notion of “conquest,” believing in gradual change rather than abrupt cataclysmic mutation, perhaps because they were repelled by their recent experiences during the war. As had happened earlier, these extraneous circumstances left a deep imprint on the speculations that were now proposed. Early in this period a new paradigm almost achieved consensus, but after 1968 this fell apart and during the last decade two new trends have appeared: the single-minded quest for a new paradigm and the search for better understanding through the study of analogous processes, coupled with a more radical skepticism.Murdock

Surficial slides and slumps on the continental slope and rise of South West Africa: A reconnaissance study

Off South West Africa, a large slide and a large slump have displaced about 250 km 3 of surficial sediment from the lower continental slope onto the upper continental rise. The slide and slump scars together cover an area of about 6000 km 2; they affect only the upper few tens of meters of the sediment column. A debris flow extends about 250 km downslope from the slide scar, and deformed sediments extend a similar distance downslope from the slump scar. Apparently the slide and the slump were triggered during the late Pleistocene; neither of them gave rise to turbidity currents. Slides and slumps like these appear to be common on both active and passive continental margins. Their presence in these environments merits careful study in view of deep water exploration and production drilling for oil and gas.

Evidence for Late Tertiary Uplift of Africa Relative to North America, South America, Australia and Europe

Differential vertical movement between continents is suggested by plotting percentages of continental areas that were flooded at a certain time in the geologic past on the corresponding continental hypsometric curves. If the plots do not lie at the same elevation, the continents have moved differentially since the time of flooding. A plot of Eocene and Miocene percentages of flooding on hypsometric curves suggests that Africa has risen significantly relative to North America, South America, Europe and Australia since the Miocene and possibly since the Eocene. Evidence for widespread epeirogenic uplift in Africa during the Tertiary implies that the epeirogenic rise of Africa rather than subsidence of the other continents best accounts for the relative uplift indicated by the plots on hypsometric curves. The large amount of uplift in Africa relative to the other four continents suggests that the African type of epeirogeny could be an important factor in the cause of widespread regressions that occurred duri...

OBSERVATIONS ON THE SPREAD OF ASIATIC SCHISTOSOMIASIS

Frou 1852, when Bilharz announced the discovery of Distomum hacmatobintn, down to 1904 no progress was made in the elucidation of the etiology of schistosomiasis. In 1904 tho London School of Tropical Medicine pub lished as Cragg's Prize Essay an account by ciatto of a new form of schistosomiasis in a Chinaman. Catto's disease was almost immediately shown to-* occur in the cat and dog. It then became possible for the first time to study in small susceptible animals the mode of infection with a human form of schistosomiasis. Native tradition and the deductions of local practitioners had given rise in South Africa to the view that i4fection was acquired when bathing. Looss, failing to find an intermediate host, and noting that the newly hatched embryo is killed in 1 in 1,000 dilution of hydrochloric acid, adopted the hypothesis that the infection took place through the skin, adding that the infective agent is the miracidium and that the meta morphosis into a cercarial form probably takes place in the liver. In 1911 Matsuura and Yamamoto showed that in animals experimentally infected with Schistosoma japoni cum by exposure in water from infected rice fields short ciliated larvae occurred in the skin.
