This article continues a study of cranial growth on the example of the population of tropical Trans-Saharan Africa. The cranial samples of Gabon, basin of the Congo River (the Western part), and East African farmers and Capoids – Bushmen and Hottentots (the Eastern part) were analyzed. Male and female cranial samples were studied separately. Crania of some samples clustered according to the type of growth processes in the crania. Comparative analysis showed that the cranial samples (and clusters inside them) from the West of the studied region, as a whole, differ significantly from those from

Cette gravure, intitulée « Il retourne chez ses égaux », fut très largement diffusée et réinterprétée au cours du siècle et contribua de manière significative à renouveler le regard porté sur la figure du « sauvage » dans la littérature des Lumières.

Taking up Michele Wallace’s call to interrogate popular cultural forms and unravel their relationship with the political discourse of the time, this paper begins by examining the popular discourse about Black female sexuality in the USA. White, cis-hetero-patriarchal cultural and visual imagination still represents Black women either as asexual and maternal mammies or as the deviant ‘Other’ that is as Venus Hottentots or ‘hypersexual’ Jezebels. Maternal and sexual scripts were first naturalized by popular and scientific discourse(s), and then covertly deployed by the dominant white hetero-patr

Perhaps one of the saddest consequences of the demise of traditional Khoikhoi societies during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries is the loss of their languages. Contemporary reports by visitors abound with references to how difficult the Khoi language was to learn, while at the same time commending the Khoikhoi for their ability to learn European languages. By about 1700, only half a century after Dutch colonisation, most Khoikhoi living in the colonised areas of the Western Cape could speak some form of Dutch in addition to their own language.

The upper reaches have thus far received the least of this attention because of their inaccessibility. This study mainly focuses on these reaches where riparian vegetation is still mostly in a pristine state.

This study addresses the extrinsic factors which have shaped the evolution and maintenance of sociality in the African mole-rats. Specifically, the common mole-rat was used as a model to assess the Aridity Food-Distribution Hypothesis (AFDH), as an explanation for the evolution of bathyergid sociality. The AFDH correlates mole-rat sociality with habitat aridity and the pattern of food distribution. Aspects relating to ecological constraints, foraging behaviour, population demography, reproductive biology and aggressive behaviour were compared between an arid and a mesic population of C. h. hot

Abstract:
There are many factors which may influence the distribution of parasites and often parasites are not evenly distributed amongst their hosts. The development and survival of ectoparasites is usually dependent on abiotic factors such as temperature and rainfall. Therefore differences in ectoparasite load between host populations and seasonal fluctuations in abundance are often found to be associated with climatic variations. However, biotic (host-related) factors have also been found to play a role in these differential infection rates. Host social aggregations during the breeding season have be

Mammals use burrows for numerous functions. As these functions become more complex so does the burrow system. Although this underground environment is buffered from many climatic factors, it does pose an energetically expensive way of life. Due to the increased energy expenditure that is needed to forage and live underground, most subterranean mammals have evolved morphological adaptations to living in such a specialised environment. To this end, the burrow systems of three different African mole rats were considered, which range in body size, sociality and apparent foraging behaviour. Bathye
