Camilla Power on
'Neanderthals, Homo sapiens and the human revolution'

Camilla Power will be comparing the evidence for the emergence of language, art and symbolism between the lineages of Neanderthals in Eurasia and Homo sapiens in Africa. Some similarities and some differences are suggested by archaeological, fossil, demographic + palaeogenomic data. Did both populations engage in the human symbolic revolution, and was this fundamental to interchange between them?

Dearest Fediverse (and apologies for the absence),

my book "Hard Work: Producing places, relations and value on a Papua New Guinea resource frontier" was just recently published in full digital open access. (Print-on-demand and oa epub out soon!)

https://hup.fi/site/books/m/10.33134/HUP-29/

"Hard Work explores the complexities of natural resource extraction, looking at both large-scale processes and personal human-environment interactions. It combines a political ecology focus on the connection between environmental issues and power relations with a focus on how value is produced, represented, and materialized."

Cover of the book "Hard Work". The cover is a photograph showing a foggy tropical river valley. On the foreground on the left stands a Papua New Guinean woman with her back to the camera holding a food basket on her head and walking staff in her right hand looking at the valley. The woman stands in tropical garden and in front of her are banana plants. On right, a bit further from the camera is a tall tree standing in the garden. In the background are forested mountain slopes. On the top of the cover is the name of the author, "Tuomas Tammisto". Below it is the title of the book: "Hard Work: Producing places, relations and value on a Papua New Guinea resource frontier". On the bottom left is the name of the publisher: "HUP Helsinki University Press".

If you are not familiar with #anthropogenicBiodiversity read this article by Tess McClure in the Guardian on abandonment. <https://www.theguardian.com/news/2024/nov/28/great-abandonment-what-happens-natural-world-people-disappear-bulgaria>
We have the same problem in #Nepal: labour migration leads to abandonment of hill villages, but invasive species such as Lantana take over the terraces.

A different aspect of this same question drives my research around sacred sites: how do #social-ecological processes create and maintain ritually protected #biodiversity hotspots?
