Abstract:

The use of archery to hunt appears relatively late in human history. It is poorly understood but the application of poisons to arrows to increase lethality must have occurred shortly after developing bow hunting methods; these early multi-stage transitions represent cognitive shifts in human evolution. This paper is a synthesis of widely-scattered literature in anthropology, entomology, and chemistry, dealing with San ("Bushmen") arrow poisons. The term San (or Khoisan) covers many indigenous groups using so-called 'click languages' in southern Africa. Beetles are used for arrow poison by at l

Abstract:

SummaryA recent report indicated that an arrow poison used by the native Indians of Rondonia, Brazil, to kill small animals was associated with profuse bleeding (1). The arrow poison was prepared from the bark of a tree, known locally as Tike-Uba. We have obtained bark and sap specimens from this tree and have characterized a potent anticoagulant activity in both the crude bark and sap samples as well as in more highly purified preparations. An aqueous extract of the bark significantly prolongs both prothrombin times and activated partial thromboplastin times in plasma based assays. Further fr

The history of curare is both curious and convoluted. A product of South American culture it emerged in the sixteenth century from the mists of antiquity at the same time as quinine, coca, and chocolate. Like quinine, at first came the extract but no plant, and later the plant but no chemical compound. It took more than 300 years and the efforts of many explorers and scientists to resolve the problem. These included Condamine, Humboldt, Brodie,Waterton, Bernard, Dale,Walker, and King. Finally, the pure compound d-tubocurarine was isolated from the liana Chondrodendron and synthesised. Its spec

Abstract:

Hunting has been crucial in early human evolution. Some San (Bushmen) of southern Africa still practice their indigenous hunting. The use of poisons is one remarkable aspect of their bow-and-arrow hunting but the sources, taxonomic identifications of species used, and recipes, are not well documented. This study reports on fieldwork to investigate recent indigenous hunting practices of G/ui and G//ana San communities in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR), Botswana. Here we discuss their use of spider poison. The hunters use the contents of the opisthosoma (‘abdomen’) of a spider as sole

This paper presents new information on the antiquity of the bow and arrow in the Kalahari. Excavations at White Paintings Shelter (WPS) uncovered bone point fragments that appear to have been parts of reversible arrowheads that could have been used with poison.

The oldest bone points are estimated to date between 35–37 ka, while worked bone technology extends to at least 45 ka. Several engraved points are also discussed in rel

Abstract:

Plant toxins are sequestered by many animals and the toxicity is frequently advertised by aposematic displays to deter potential predators. Such ‘unpalatability by appropriation’ is common in many invertebrate groups and also found in a few vertebrate groups. However, potentially lethal toxicity by acquisition has so far never been reported for a placental mammal. Here, we describe complex morphological structures and behaviours whereby the African crested rat, Lophiomys imhausi , acquires, dispenses and advertises deterrent toxin.

Abstract:

Summary Curare, a paralysing poison derived from South American plants, fascinated European explorers with its deadly powers. Generations of travellers were perplexed by how animals affected by curare showed no signs of suffering. British experimenters relabelled curare as an anaesthetic and used it to restrain animals during experiments. But during the 19th century, doubts started to appear: can a paralysed animal feel pain but be unable to express it? A scientific dispute emerged as not all British physiologists accepted Claude Bernard’s claim that curare affected only the motor nerves. The

Pitohui birds from New Guinea have been found to contain a toxin otherwise only found in neotropical poison arrow frogs.

This finding demonstrates that the ability to be toxic is widespread among corvoid birds and suggests that additional members of this radiation, comprising more than 700 species, could prove to be toxic.

Mythology reflects deep knowledge of poisons. Medea attempted to poison Theseus with aconite to protect her son’s claim to the throne. Hercules used Hydra’s venom to create deadly arrows.

Abstract:

The double-arrow hollow cylinder (DAHC) has excellent mechanical properties under axial compression loads due to its negative Poisson ratio structure. To improve finite element simulation efficiency for parameter optimization analysis, an automatic modeling program for DAHC negative Poisson ratio structures was developed on the ABAQUS platform using Python. The sample was manufactured using selective laser melting additive manufacturing based on the solid model and then simulated using the finite element method. The accuracy of the automatic modeling method was confirmed by comparing load–disp

Abstract:

Structures with negative Poisson’s ratios have wide applications in automotive design, owing to their excellent mechanical properties and good energy absorption capability. This type of structure can be used to design lightweight components. We used a double-arrow negative Poisson ratio structure and embedded lock assembly process to design a 3D lattice structure with a negative Poisson ratio. Moreover, we selected different design parameters for a simulation analysis and experimental research. The performances of the lattice structures with different parameters were compared and analyzed unde

Abstract:

This paper explores the inter- and extradiegetical functions of a story about Odysseus narrated by Athena to Telemachos in Odyssey 1, 255-68. It is argued that the representation of Odysseus in search of poison for his arrows need not to be thought first and foremost as a non-Homeric element or a morally disturbing action, for it may be analyzed by means of epic themes (specially by the mêtis-megatheme) explored not only in the Odyssey but in the Iliad as well. Besides, this story anticipates and condenses the plot of the poem.

Abstract:

Research objectives: To establish whether Hülegü brought gunpowder from China during his military operation in the Middle East in 1256–1260 and whether his army used gunpowder weapons against the Hashashi/Hashashin castles. Research materials: The article’s author examines Islamic and Chinese sources mentioning Hülegü’s military campaign from Mongolia to the Middle East and weapons used by the Mongolian army. Results and novelty of the research: Most researchers agree that the Mongols used gunpowder weapons adapted from the Chinese in their East Asian military expeditions, such as in China, Ja
