Full textAbstract:
The concept of wildlife embodies two sources of controversy regarding de-extinct animals. First, the multifaceted dependence of these animals on humans; and second, the property rights to de-extinct animals. Both provide reasons for not counting them as wildlife. A subsequent question is, however, whether we should maintain this divide or allow the boundaries to blur. If we aim to maintain it, we end up trying to stop a process that is evolving rapidly and difficult to curb by legal means. If we relinquish these boundaries, we give up customary cultural models and related cultural practices. In biology, the divide between domestic and wild species is usually considered arbitrary and the degree of synanthropy (degree of association with humans) to present a continuum. Still, wildlife is normally defined through the notion of domestication: those animals that are not domesticated are wildlife. De-extinction turns the setting upside down: the de-extinct animals would normally be classified as domesticated, since they are generated by human action and could be owned as private property, but the problem is that they are not intended as domestic – de-extinct animals are ultimately created to be wildlife. Thus the concept of wildlife calls for refinement so as to allow their inclusion. We present a classification of animal species based both on their degree of synanthropy and the complex ownership issues. It appears that de-extinct species would probably initially represent species with a low synanthropy index but a high need for human care, but might later evolve into “real” wildlife in the strict sense of the term.

Full textAbstract:
The industrialization since the beginning of the previous century led to the loss of a significant number of breeds. But it should be remembered, that the disappearance of a breed is not only the disappearance of an important unit that supplemented the uniqueness of a specific landscape, met the needs of a certain category of people who lived in this territory, performed certain rituals associated with traditions and territory, evolved with and complemented a certain culture and nation, but as well the breed – it is the genes, which were not revealed at that time, but in the future could provide people with the development of the latest technologies with new products, a new type of knowledge, skills and useful peculiarities.
The analysis of the literal source base of the past centuries confirms the disappearance of Polish, Red Smilyan, Ukrainian White-Backed, Black-and-White Podilian in cattle breeding, in sheep breeding – 9 breeds (Walahian, Pirni, Reshetilivska, Chushka, Mazayev Merino, Malich, Hutsulian, Chuntuk), in horse breeding – Streletsky, Germano-Bessarabian, Nogai breeds and Tarpan. 3 breeding populations have disappeared in pig breeding.
Disappeared in cattle breeding: the Polissian breed of cattle, which was widespread in the 19th and early 20th centuries on a large territory of Polissia (in 1926, on the right-bank Polissia, it numbered about 35.000 heads). By origin, the Polissian cattle were admitted a descendant of the ancient race that lived in Polissia since ancient times.
The animals were exceptionally hardy, resistant to diseases typical for the region, and had a certain productivity even in difficult conditions of unsatisfactory keeping.
The Red Smilyan breed of the beginning of the 20th century was spread in the area of the town of Smila, "from north to south along the railway through the town of Smila all the way to Horodyshche and Chhyrynsky district. This breed was "a branch of red steppe cattle, which, like Grey Ukrainian cattle, belonged to the group of steppe cattle." So, it would be interesting to investigate it as well.
At the beginning of the last century, the different varieties of spotted cattle of Podillia were spread over almost the entire territory of the Vinnytsia region (except for the northern part). Researchers estimate the presence of this livestock at the level of 100.000 heads at the beginning of the last century. This group included Black-and-White Podilian and Ukrainian White-Backed breeds.
Sheep breeding. Coarse-wool sheep have been bred on the territory of Ukraine for a long time, especially Reshetilivska and Sokilian sheep. In the literature, there is also information about the breeding of Wallahian sheep.
Horse breeding. Research in recent years suggests a high probability of domestication of horses in the territory of the steppes of Ukraine, so it would be especially interesting to study the behavior, characteristics, and variety of products of ancient horses of Ukrainian origin. However, this is no longer possible on at least 3 breeds of horses: Striletska, Germano-Bessarabian, Nogai and Tarpan. In addition, there is evidence that in Ukraine in the 17th century a breed of striped (tarantoid) horses was widespread. Ethnological studies also report on the existence of Steppe Ukrainian horse, bred in Zaporizhzhia, and Boykivian (boyki, perevinniki) horse breed in the Carpathians. The Ukrainian breed of horses became the basis for the formation of the Black Sea breed in the Kuban after the Cossacks of Zaporizhzhya Sich were resettled there in the 19th century.
Pig breeding. According to the National Coordinator of Genetic Resources from Ukraine in FAO until 2014, I.V. Guzev, three breed groups of pigs and one local population (European short-eared pig) have disappeared in Ukraine. According to ethnographers, Ukrainian black and brown breeds have long been predominant on the territory of Ukraine. So, it was the Ukrainian sub-population of European group of pigs. This group as well was characterized with yellowish, brown or white, mixed with black bristle color. There were as well individuals of gray or white color with black spots, small fangs were visible.

The existence of animals in Indonesia is now increasingly threatened along with the destruction of forest ecosystems and animal hunting. Many animals are now nearly extinct. Meanwhile, the introduction of Indonesian protected animals is only through the text media, images or video contained in the study book and internet. With limited knowledge about extinct animal many people still do not know about the animals and cause the lack of public awareness to help conserve protected animals in Indonesia. Augmented reality technology can be one of the media technologies that can be used for the introduction of animals to the community by benefitting from marker based tracking as the pattern of target identification. This article discusses an application development on how to bring animals’ 3D objects into smartphone in order to inform those which exist in Indonesia. From the results of questionnaires 30 respondents stated, the Application of Animal Protected Introduction has been very good in terms of display and 3D objects and has been good in terms of new information obtained.

AbstractIn this review paper, several take-off techniques of different species of animal flyers and gliders, both extinct and extant, are analysed. The methods they use vary according to animal group and size. Smaller animals, such as insects, rely on the use of transient aerodynamic techniques or the use of stored elastic energy. Medium-size flyers such as birds, bats, and other mammal gliders initiate flight by a jump which involves leg and wing movement coordination. The largest animals to fly, the extinct pterosaurs, are believed to have used a combination of aerodynamic and mechanic techniques in order to become airborne. The information presented here can be used as a resource for novel biomimetic unmanned aircraft design.

This paper contends that anthropogenic mass extinction cannot be overcome via discourses that only humans can prevent extinctions: such discourses uphold problematic assumptions of human exceptionalism. This paper takes up Gerald Vizenor’s concept of survivance, which upholds Indigenous futures and speaks of Indigenous peoples’ continuous agential survival against settler colonialism, to challenge human exceptionalism, assert animal agency, and envision transformative futures where all animals―human and nonhuman―might survive with ethics and justice.

Full textAbstract:
Endemic Indonesian animals are native Indonesian animals that cannot be found in other countries, that’s why their existence must be protected and studied by children, especially those with endangered status. However, the population of these animals is decreasing and even extinct. Not many people know about endangered animals that are endemic in Indonesia and extinct animals in Indonesia, especially in grade 4 elementary school in Bandung who have started to studying these animals. The knowledge about endangered animals and Indonesian endemic animals in schools is still ineffective and boring because the media to used is school textbooks which are dominated by text. Children's illustration books are a solution for elementary school. Data collection techniques used are interviews and questionnaires. The main media for the illustration book is "Ayo!! Mengenal Dunia Hewan" with supporting media : bookmarks, stickers, key chains, puzzles, and posters. The design was made to increase the knowledge of 4th graders elementary school about endangered animals and Indonesian endemic animals.

Abstract:
The Master’s degree final project gathers a set of scientific illustrations of fossil species
from Angola (currently under preparation and study at the Museum of Lourinhã), as
well as the infographics in which the communicative potential of the images produced is
explored.
These illustrations have a wide spectrum of applicability. The drawings will be
integrated into scientific publications (several articles and a monograph) currently in
preparation by the Project PaleoAngola team, along with other elements of
museographic information and divulgation of significance for a diversified public.
Accordingly, the images cover all aspects of paleontological illustration: the
classic and formal descriptive drawings; the reconstructions of the articulated skeleton;
the representations of the musculature; and the recreations of the appearance of
animals in life and their integration into paleoenvironments. Besides the illustrations
themselves, a method for generating three-dimensional models that can be used as a
solid reference for the drawing of fossils is presented.
The present report embodies all decisions made throughout this process, in
terms of conceptualization, planning and technological preparation of the drawings.
In short, it is intended not only that the illustrations be useful to the PaleoAngola
Project, but also that they provide a significant contribution to the scientific and
cultural enrichment of Angola, promoting Paleontology through its divulgation.

Full textAbstract:
Skeletal remains of the prehistoric New Zealand dog, the kuri, are frequently recovered from archaeological sites. Despite their relative ubiquity only one major study, and the last for twenty five years, has been conducted. That work provided limited anatomical and osteometric information and concluded that the kuri population was homogenous through space and across time.
This study set out to provide a more detailed skeletal description and to investigate the question of population homogeneity by examinig kuri skeletal material from five museums and two university anthropology departments. Metric and non-metric data was collected from a total of thirty seven archaeological sites from throuhout New Zealand.
Variation within the population was established by comparing coefficients of variation across a number of variables. A program of univariate and multivariate analysis was carried out to examine spatial and temporal variation.
Results showed that the appendicular skeleton of the kuri has the highest levels of variation. Smaller limb shaft dimensions of late prehistoric kuri are thought to be due to a reliance on insufficient quantities of marine foods. Tooth wear analysis of late prehistoric dogs showed that they had severe tooth wear compared to �Archaic� dogs.

Previous issue date: 2008-10-14Introdu??o: A mem?ria ? aquisi??o, consolida??o e evoca??o de informa??es. Envolve sempre um componente emocional, que se acrescenta ?s informa??es de ?ndole cognitiva. Quando a mem?ria ? conseq??ncia de uma situa??o estressante e traum?tica, envolve emo??es dessa ?ndole e se estabelece atrav?s da am?dala e do hipocampo, sendo mais resistentes ? extin??o e ao esquecimento. A ansiedade e o estresse influenciam a fase inicial da consolida??o da mem?ria, atrav?s de v?rias vias modulat?rias, cujo efeito se incorpora ao restante do conte?do de cada mem?ria. No caso de estresse particularmente intenso, h? tend?ncia ? evoca??o reiterada da mem?ria traum?tica, provocando uma esquiva persistente a qualquer est?mulo que seja associado ? mesma. O TOP ? um medicamento eficaz na epilepsia, que tem entre seus efeitos colaterais, que s?o concentra??o dependente, a diminui??o da mem?ria de trabalho e da flu?ncia verbal, provocando confus?o e torpor. Materiais, m?todos e hip?teses avaliadas: Foi avaliada a a??o do TOP (10mg/kg) na consolida??o e extin??o da mem?ria de longa dura??o em 84 ratos Wistar, divididos em 6 grupos caso e um grupo controle. A a??o do TOP sobre a consolida??o foi avaliada por sua administra??o imediatamente ap?s, ou 3 horas ap?s o treino. Na avalia??o da extin??o, o TOP foi administrado por 14 dias antes, ou 5 dias durante a extin??o. Em todos os experimentos os animais iniciaram os testes 15 dias ap?s o treino. O treino consistiu em medir o tempo de lat?ncia para descer da plataforma no paradigma de esquiva inibit?ria, momento em que receberam um choque de 1 mA por 2 segundos. A a??o do TOP sobre a consolida??o e extin??o foi avaliada em testes repetidos, sem o choque, em que se mediu a lat?ncia de descida da plataforma nos tempos T1 a T5 e no teste final T6, 48 horas ap?s. Foi realizada tamb?m uma contra prova para avaliar se havia a??o direta do TOP na perda da mem?ria quando administrado por 5 dias sem passar pelo procedimento de extin??o. Resultados: O TOP administrado p?s-treino interferiu com a consolida??o da mem?ria. O resultado foi mais eficaz quando administrado 3 h ap?s o treino. O TOP n?o induziu a extin??o da mem?ria quando administrado antes da extin??o por 14 dias, por?m a facilitou quando administrado por 5 dias durante a mesma. O TOP administrado por uma semana, sem passar pelo procedimento de extin??o, n?o provocou a perda da mem?ria. Sugest?o: O TOP talvez possa ser um medicamento que auxilie pacientes com estresse p?s-traum?tico, assim como aqueles considerados borderline, que apresentam um comportamento autodestrutivo relacionado a traumas na inf?ncia.

In the behavioral paradigm of discriminative avoidance task, both short and long-term memories have been extensively investigated with behavioral and pharmacological approaches. The aim of the present study was to evaluate, using the abovementioned model, the hippocampal expression of zif-268 - a calcium-dependent immediate early gene involved with synaptic plasticity process - throughout several steps of memory formation, such as acquisition, evocation and extiction. The behavioral apparatus consisted of a modified elevaated plus-maze, with their enclosed arms disposed in "L". A pre-exposure to the maze was made with the animal using all arms enclosed, for 30 minutes, followed by training and test, during 10 minutes each. The between sections interval was 24h. During training, aversive stimuli (bright light and loud noise) were actived whenever the animals entered one of the enclosed armas (aversive arm). Memory acquisiton, retention and extinction were evaluated by the percentage of the total time spent exploring the aversive arm. The parameters evaluated (time spent in the arms and total distance traveled) were estimated with an animal tracking software (Anymaze, Stoelting, USA). Learning during training was estimated by the decrease of the time spent exploring the aversive arm. One hour after the beginning of each section, animals were anaesthetized with sodium-thiopental (i.p.) and perfused with 0.9% heparinized saline solution followed by 4% paraformaldehyde. Brains were cryoprotected with 20% sucrose, separeted in three blocks and frozen. The middle block, containing the hippocampus, was sectioned at 20 micro meters in the coronal plane and the resutant sections were submitted to zif-268 immunohistochemistry. Our results show an increased expression of zif-268 in the dentate gyrus (DG) during the evocation and extinction stages. There is a distinct participation of the DG during the memory evocation, but not during its acquisition. Inaddition, all hippocampal regions (CA1, CA3 and DG) presented an increased zif-268 expression during the process of extinction.
No paradigma comportamental da esquiva discriminativa, as mem?rias de curto e de longo prazo t?m sido extensivamente estudadas tanto comportamental quanto farmacologicamente. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar, usando o modelo supracitado, a express?o hipocampal de zif-268 - gene imediato dependente de c?lcio implicado em processos de plasticidade sin?ptica - ao longo das diversas etapas da forma??o da mem?ria, como aquisi??o, evoca??o e extin??o. O aparato comportamental consistiu de um labirinto em crum elevado modificado, com seus bra?os fechados dispostos em "L". Uma pr?-exposi??o ao labirinto foi feita com os animais usando os quatro bra?os fechados, com dura??o de 30 minutos, seguida de um treino e de um teste, cada qual com dura??o de 10 minutos. O intervalo entre as sess?es foi de 24 horas. Durante o treino, um est?mulo aversivo (luz e ru?do intensos) era acionado sempre que os animais entravam em um dos bra?os fechados (bra?o aversivo). A aquisi??o, reten??o e extin??o da mem?ria foram avaliados pelo percentual de tempo total gasto explorando o bra?o aversivo. Os par?metros avaliados (tempo nos bra?os e dist?ncia percorrida) foram registrados por um software de rastreamento de animais (Anymaze, Stoelting, USA). O aprendizado durante o treino foi estimado pelo decr?scimo do tempo gasto explorando o bra?o aversivo. Uma hora ap?s o in?cio de cada sess?o, os animais foram anestesiados com uma overdose de tiopental s?dico (i.p.) e perfundidos com solu??o salina heparinizada 0.9% seguida de paraformalde?do a 4%. Os enc?falos foram crioprotegidos com solu??o de sacorose a 20%, separados em tr?s blocos e congelados. O bloco do meio, contendo o hipocampo, foi seccionado a 20 micro metros no plano coronal e as sec??es resultantes foram ent?o submetidas ? imunohistoqu?mica para zif-268. Nossos resultados evidenciam um aumento da express?o de zif-268 no giro denteado (GD) durante asetapas de evoca??o e extins?o. H? uma participa??o distinta no GD durante a evoca??o e extin??o da mem?ria, mas n?o durante a aquisi??o. Al?m disso, todas as ?reas hipocampais (CA1, CA3 e GD) apresentam uma eleva??o da express?o de zif-268 durante o processo de extin??o

In the Age of Discovery around the 16th Century, human beings started to expand their horizons and territories; many records showed that the voyagers docked at the lands that had abundant natural resources during the journeys. Gradually, the over depredation of natural resources has caused the environmental changes and extinction of species, among which, the extinction of Dodo was a famous extinct species due to human factors. Afterward, with the changes of social class, population growth, land development, and so forth reasons, caused the further extinction of many species successively. The creation concept develops from the perspective of environmental ethics, which had its beginnings from western philosophy in the 1970s and matured as an independent discipline that concerns and emphasizes the natural environment. Additionally, this research concentrates more on “Biocentrism” to emphasize that human beings have the obligation to consider ethical issues regarding all living things and their inherent value. The creation concept delivers the possible final aspect caused by ecological destruction through stories; the structure of the creation narrates the history of extinct species and the imaginary future by developing graphic stories. Using copper clad laminate substrates and acrylic paint as the materials to build the three series. The First Series uses copper clad laminate substrates to present etched copper portraits that demonstrate animal appearances in a natural environment. The Second Series shows the species extinction from the depredation of natural resources caused by human. Further, the Third Series shows the future mutation of species and their counterattack against human. To emphasize the harm that human has brought to other species via the Second and Third Series, as well as expressing the idea that the destinies of other species should not be purely controlled by humans.

ABSTRACT Natural selection, in the complex biological systems, is the result of the success rate of species reproduction and genetic variation. However, since human civilization has risen and become more effective to every creature in this planet, there are other factors that shape the forms of all the species besides the pressure from natural selection. Species would eventually adapt the environment of the time and change their way of living. This design research presents to the audience with the environmental problems, which is caused by civilization overdeveloping and usually ignored by modern people. It aims to make people introspect their living and the importance of ecological balance by showing them the distorted change of species and environment. The designs were based on the data of threatened organisms by consulting the IUCN RED LIST, which was found in 1963 by International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. The design research took “ZINE” as the expression form of the pictures and discussed the issues from three aspects---usage of energy, mass production and buying behaviors, and then developed a series of works: 1. Species and Silence. 2. We should change it right away. 3. It is up to all of us. 4. What we eat? 5. What you buy? The project “Species & Silence” made audience feel like in distinct spaces by seeing through different perspectives. Although it presented the heavy scenes with pollution, it adopted high saturation of colours to show the comfortable life of human beings to dig at the weird variation of species. The project “We should change it right away” presented the contaminated geology and the danger that animals eat trash by mistake since many artificial things are not dissolvable. It expressed how human beings’ behaviors influence nature deeply and record wastes stocking up in earth and the bodies of organisms. The project “It is up to all of us” made a contract between the strange behaviors of species and what people do. The work portrayed that people enjoy the pleasure from ‘Fast Fashion’ with the contrast of the origin of pollution icons. All this project expressed that every purchase people do will finally return to themselves. The project “What we eat?” expressed that the outcome of people’s buys will turn back to themselves by showing the audience every step how the products go through---being manufactured, being purchased and being abandoned. The project “What we buy?” presented that animals and plants cannot speak out. Artificial stuff has intruded into Nature and food chains through producers emitting contamination and consumers leaving junk into natural environment. After the exhibition, the researcher generalized six key elements below from the feedbacks of the audiences: 1. The style of the pictures 2. The technique of expression 3. The structure of the pictures 4. The color scheme 5. The feelings of variation 6. The technique of variation It also proved that the research had achieved communication and thought provoking. This creation series “Human Habitat” delivered deep content and made audiences think about their behaviors through connecting themselves with species, environmental destruction and people’s daily lives. The outcome of the design research met people’s request for creativity and aesthetic, and made contribution to the propaganda of environmental and species protection.

AbstractIn this introduction we describe how the world has changed for animals in the Anthropocene—the current age, in which human activities have influenced the planet on a scale never seen before. In this era, we find many different types of animals in our midst: some—in particular livestock—are both victims of and unwittingly complicit in causing the Anthropocene. Others are forced to respond to new environmental conditions. Think of animals that due to climate change can no longer survive in their native habitats or wild animals that in response to habitat loss and fragmentation are forced to live in urban areas. Some animals are being domesticated or in contrast de-domesticated, and yet others are going extinct or in contrast are being resurrected. These changing conditions have led to new tensions between humans and other animals. How can we shape our relationships with all these different animals in a rapidly changing world in such a way that both animal welfare and species diversity are not further affected? We describe how animal ethics is changing in these trying times and illustrate the impacts of Anthropocene conditions on animals by zooming in on one country where many problems, such as biodiversity loss and landscape degradation, converge, the Netherlands. We conclude by giving an overview of the different chapters in this volume, which are organised into five parts: animal agents, domesticated animals, urban animals, wild animals and animal artefacts.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The huge variety of animal and other species that we see today, together with those now extinct, evolved by the process of natural selection. The key to natural selection, and to the artificial selection practised by breeders, is the inherited variation in many characteristics that exists between individual animals. Domestication of animals began 12,000 to 10,000 years ago. Whether or not it has been done knowingly, artificial selection, as well as natural selection, has been practised among domestic animals ever since then. Although distinct breeds or strains of cattle and sheep existed long before then, the practices of pedigree recording and selection of related animals with the aim of breed improvement date from the mid-1700s. The formation of herd books began early in the following century. Livestock continue to have a wide range of important rôles globally, with a range of positive and negative societal and environmental impacts, which need to be managed and balanced.

AbstractThe chapter outline which species were hunted in the boreal forest and how they were hunted or trapped, and which animals were hunted in the mountains. The conditions for hunting were better in the boreal forest than in the mountains due to differences in topography, habitats, and species composition. Hunting led to extinction of wild reindeer and depopulation of fur animals; while small-game hunting for subsistence continued to be important. In the forest region, strong property rights to game developed through the skatteland, and hunting was a private enterprise. Hunting in the mountain region developed in the opposite direction and was open access after the wild reindeer was extinct. Hunting became important for social justice, and poor Sami had access to hunting grounds

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIt is often argued that we “owe it” to species driven to extinction “to bring them back.” Can justice really require us to make restitution for anthropogenic extinctions? Can it require de-extinction? And if so, can justice require us to attempt the North American Heath Hen’s de-extinction? I will first review the types of de-extinction technologies currently available. I will then discuss the criteria used to determine when restitution is owed for injuries as well as the special challenges arising when (i) victims are wild animals and (ii) are extinct. After arguing that restitution may be due for some extinctions and that de-extinction would sometimes be an appropriate means, I apply these arguments to the case of the Heath Hen.

Full textAbstract:
Many twentieth-century Latin American writers – including Jorge Luis Borges, Silvina Ocampo, Juan José Arreola and Wilson Bueno – experimented with the form of the bestiary, adapting it to the fantastic genre or for the purposes of satire. This chapter focuses on the work of more contemporary writers and artists who draw on the themes and forms of the medieval bestiary in order to revitalize pre-Hispanic legends, to construct an alternative modernity that embraces plural ontologies, and to explore the changing relationship between humans and animals in the Anthropocene. The act of (re)imagining extinct and mythical animals takes on a particular poignancy in the context of the current rapid decline in biodiversity across the world. Indeed, as I argue throughout this chapter, the mediaeval bestiary acquires a new relevance in the context of the ecological and existential crisis that pervades the technologically developed, urbanized, globalized world. It offers alternative ways of thinking and imagining the world that have been excised from the modern, rationalist, Western standpoint, challenging ideas about human exceptionalism and promoting a view of the universe as intimately interconnected within relationships of reciprocity. At the hands of contemporary writers and artists such as Rafael Toriz and Edgar Cano (Mexico), Claudio Romo (Chile) and Walmor Corrêa (Brazil), Latin American bestiaries of the twenty-first century contest dominant images of a depleted, exhausted, fragile natural world, responding to the need to re-enchant nature in the face of its rationalization and commodification in Western modernity, to revalorize indigenous and popular approaches, and to reconnect animals with human social, cultural, and spiritual lives.

AbstractThis chapter accomplishes a phenomenology of deep time visualizations. It examines the power and limits of a series of visual devices used in paleontology and geology to access, and eventually work with the earth’s deep past. First, I discuss how paleontologists visualize and sort data in the field; second, I examine the practices used to illustrate and validate knowledge about extinct animals; third, I explore what function visualizations play in supporting the transition between data collection and the possible explanation of global biological phenomena such as the estimation of diversity through geological time; fourth, I inquire into the role of the computer; and fifth, I discuss the recent intersection between paleontology and different kinds of new technologies such as augmented and visual reality and robotics, both to shed light on some aspects of the past and to generate new research questions. In conclusion, I reflect on the intersection between earth science visual cultures and knowledge production. In particular, I point out the function of knowledge circulation and in between scientists in the production of visual devices as well as the importance of aesthetics for cooperative research projects and knowledge production in the earth sciences.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractHominin tracks represent a unique window into moments in the life of extinct individuals. They can provide biological and locomotor data that are not accessible from skeletal remains. However, these tracks are relatively scarce in the fossil record, particularly those attributed to Neandertals. They are also most often devoid of associated archaeological material, which limits their interpretation. The Palaeolithic site of Le Rozel (Normandy, France) located in a dune complex formed during the Upper Pleistocene has yielded between 2012 and 2017 several hundred tracks (257 hominin footprints, 8 handprints as well as 6 animal tracks). This ichnological assemblage is distributed within five stratigraphic subunits dated to 80,000 years. These subunits are rich in archaeological material that attests to brief occupations by Neandertal groups and provides information about the activities that they carried out. The ichnological assemblage discovered at Le Rozel is the largest attributed to Neandertals to date and more generally the most important for hominin taxa other than Homo sapiens. The particularly large number of footprints can provide major information for our understanding of the Palaeolithic occupations at Le Rozel and for our knowledge of the composition of Neandertal groups.

In ASME 2012 Summer Bioengineering Conference. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/sbc2012-80828.
Full textAbstract:
Understanding natural head posture in animals is improtant in interpreting their biomechanics and behavior. For extinct animals, natural posture cannot be directly determined from the fossil record. There have been few prior studies of animal line of sight and head posture. Most line of sight studies have focused on the breadth of binocular vision versus panoramic vision in relation to behavior (predator type or grazer, for instance) or the animals typical environment (open or cluttered) [1]. For head posture some have studied changes in cognition or the environment or related aspects like the eyeball orientation as head posture changes [2]. Still others have focused on the areas of the brain that control 3D head position [3]. However, none of these studies address a method to determine the natural head posture or angle. While there currently is no definitive way to determine natural head angle in extinct animals, it seems reasonable to assume that the natural head posture would place the line of sight in the horizontal plane for most species. Therefore, we hypothesized that the opening for the optical (the optical foremen) and the eye socket structure itself can be used to accurately determine the natural head posture for a large portion of extant and extinct animal species. Specifically, if the skull is oriented such that the plane of sight (the plane common to both lines of sight) is horizontal, then the skull will be in the natural posture. If this hypothesis is shown to be valid, it will provide naturalists a reliable tool to determine the natural head posture (head angle) of extinct animals. The objective of this study was to test the above hypothesis on animals in the Felidae (cats).

Full textAbstract:
Today, our world changes drastically. Yesterday, changes were smooth, so we could differentiate and predict the future. Today, they are sharp. So,we cannot predict the future. And our world was closed with boudnary yesterday, but todayour world becomes open. Thus, yesterday, we could control. Today, datasets become not only complex, but complicated. And materials are getting soft with the progress of material engineering. When things were hard, we could understand what it is and how we should handle it with our eyes alone. But today, we need to interact with them directly. To cope with such drastically changing real world, we need to coordinate all parts of our body. Thus “coordination” is increasing its imortance. Brain is getting wide attention. But most of these studies focus on digital processing. But drastically changing real world needs not only digital processing, but analog procesing, too. Take medical diagnosis for example. Doctors observe blood flow using MRI. Blood is analog. And even after brain death, heart circulates blood around body. And while blood is circulating, we can transplant body parts. In AI, heart is rarely talked about. But heart is deeply associated with emotion. Our need is material-centric at early stage, but with time it shifts to mental and finally to “self-actualization”. We want to demonstrate how capable we are as “self”. Humans can think about the future. Animals live for now. But humans live for tomorrow. This contributed greatly to the development of humans. Many species became extinct because they were not diversified enough. We should realize the big role of instinct. In material-based world, objective and quantitative evalution was important. But to satisfy our emotional expectations, we need to evaluate things subjectively and qualitatively. We need to make decisions what actions we should take by trial and error. AI has been regarded as a man-made tool, and nature has nothing to do with it. But this is a big mistake. Humans are part of nature. The etymology of artifical is related with art. It is associated with “creation”. But who creates? It is us, human and human is part of nature. Babies learn to scrall and walk by themselves. They learn using their instinct alone. So, if we can make the most of our instinct, we can create experience and adapt to the drastically changing world. And “emotion” and “motivation” come from the same Latin word “movere”, i.e. movement. We perceive the environment and situation and we became situationally aware and motivated. And we make decisions what actions to take. If it satisfies our emotional expectation, then it is fine. It not, we repeate the process until we are satisfied. Thus, AI in the next step will be Instinctive Intelligence.

Full textAbstract:
The Cumberland Bone Cave is a public visitation stop along the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail renowned for its unique fossil resources that help reconstruct Appalachian middle Pleistocene life in the mid-Atlantic region of North America. This site is gated for safety and to prevent unwanted exploration and damage. Approximately 163 taxa of fossil plant and animals have been collected from Cumberland Bone Cave since 1912. Most of the fossils that have been published pertain to mammals, including many extinct or locally extirpated genera and species. Though the early excavations made by the Smithsonian Institution between 1912 and 1915 are the best known of the work at Cumberland Bone Cave, over many decades multiple institutions and paleontologists have collected and studied the fossil resources from this site up until 2012. Today, fossils from Cumberland Bone Cave are housed at various museum collections, including public displays at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. and the Allegany Museum in Cumberland, Maryland. This report summarizes the geology, fossil resources, and the history of excavation and research for Potomac Heritage Trail’s Cumberland Bone Cave.

Full textAbstract:
Robert Duncan Milne (1844-99), from Cupar, Fife, was a pioneering author of science fiction stories, most of which appeared in San Francisco’s Argonaut magazine in the 1880s and ’90s. SF historian Sam Moskowitz credits Milne with being the first full-time SF writer, and his contribution to the genre is arguably greater than anyone else including Stevenson and Conan Doyle, yet it has all but disappeared into oblivion. Milne was fascinated by science. He drew on the work of Scottish physicists and inventors such as James Clark Maxwell and Alexander Graham Bell into the possibilities of electromagnetic forces and new communications media to overcome distances in space and time. Milne wrote about visual time-travelling long before H.G. Wells. He foresaw virtual ‘tele-presencing’, remote surveillance, mobile phones and worldwide satellite communications – not to mention climate change, scientific terrorism and drone warfare, cryogenics and molecular reengineering. Milne also wrote on alien life forms, artificial immortality, identity theft and personality exchange, lost worlds and the rediscovery of extinct species. ‘A New Palingenesis’, originally published in The Argonaut on July 7th 1883, and adapted in this comic, is a secular version of the resurrection myth. Mary Shelley was the first scientiser of the occult to rework the supernatural idea of reanimating the dead through the mysterious powers of electricity in Frankenstein (1818). In Milne’s story, in which Doctor S- dissolves his terminally ill wife’s body in order to bring her back to life in restored health, is a striking, further modernisation of Frankenstein, to reflect late-nineteenth century interest in electromagnetic science and spiritualism. In particular, it is a retelling of Shelley’s narrative strand about Frankenstein’s aborted attempt to shape a female mate for his creature, but also his misogynistic ambition to bypass the sexual principle in reproducing life altogether. By doing so, Milne interfused Shelley’s updating of the Promethean myth with others. ‘A New Palingenesis’ is also a version of Pygmalion and his male-ordered, wish-fulfilling desire to animate his idealised female sculpture, Galatea from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, perhaps giving a positive twist to Orpheus’s attempt to bring his corpse-bride Eurydice back from the underworld as well? With its basis in spiritualist ideas about the soul as a kind of electrical intelligence, detachable from the body but a material entity nonetheless, Doctor S- treats his wife as an ‘intelligent battery’. He is thus able to preserve her personality after death and renew her body simultaneously because that captured electrical intelligence also carries a DNA-like code for rebuilding the individual organism itself from its chemical constituents. The descriptions of the experiment and the body’s gradual re-materialisation are among Milne’s most visually impressive, anticipating the X-raylike anatomisation and reversal of Griffin’s disappearance process in Wells’s The Invisible Man (1897). In the context of the 1880s, it must have been a compelling scientisation of the paranormal, combining highly technical descriptions of the Doctor’s system of electrically linked glass coffins with ghostly imagery. It is both dramatic and highly visual, even cinematic in its descriptions, and is here brought to life in the form of a comic.
