Academic literature on the topic 'Humans aliens (Humanoid)'

This chapter examines the contemporary cultural roles of non-human humanoids in establishing and negotiating a sense of “human” identity, with a particular focus on the marker of green skin. Internet trolls are currently a major problem in our social relations online in the world today, and the belief of Extra-Terrestrial Aliens is growing strongly, along with the growth of globalizing discourses. The green skinned troublemakers are linked to the cyber world both in terms of globalizing culture and also as a result of that very globalizing process itself. If “humanity” is fast becoming a real identity, then what is its shadow? What is not us? This presentation explores the roles that green-skinned Others play in helping us to get to know, define, and discuss, our own ontology.

On 29 July 1858, a stone tool was found among the bones of extinct mammals in Brixham Cave. More soon appeared; they were undeniably contemporary with the bones, and the antiquity of humankind was established. A carefully planned series of publications in 1859 ensured that most of the archaeological world accepted this conclusion very rapidly, and historians of archaeology have rightly identified this episode as one of the most crucial developments the discipline has ever seen. Darwin’s Origin of Species was also published in 1859, and evolution and human antiquity between them created a huge revolution in our understanding of ourselves. Histories of the archaeology of the rest of the nineteenth century correctly devote much attention to developments in the Palaeolithic, and to Near Eastern archaeology (Grayson 1983; Trigger 1989; van Riper 1993). These were the growth areas of the discipline. Palaeolithic archaeology was elucidating the new ‘deep time’ of the human species, by working out the sequence of industries in the ‘Drift’ (glacial moraine) and the caves, and the implications of human evolution. Near Eastern archaeology was deciphering long-forgotten scripts and excavating the ruins of cities hitherto known only from the Bible or the Iliad. Less consideration has been given to other areas of archaeology, in particular the study of the later pre-Roman periods in England, and this has left the impression that little remains to be said in this area (but see Daniel 1950: 79–84). In England, however, the debate about the adoption of the Three Age System was to continue for another twenty years, and that is the topic this chapter will address. The discovery of human antiquity outflanked the short chronology until then espoused by English archaeologists. Thomas Wright wrote rather plaintively that until recently, archaeologists had considered that the pre-Roman occupation of Britain amounted to ‘a few generations, at most’, and that they had been content with the biblical chronology of ‘somewhat more than six thousand years’ (Wright 1866a: 176). This very short chronology made unnecessary any subdivision into periods. Now these archaeologists found themselves jostled by an altogether alien group of new men, who dealt in huge (though unspecified) depths of time. For these people the Three Age System provided a vital series of intermediate periods bridging the gap between the people of the drift and the caverns, and the people of the classical world.

O presente estudo propõe-se a partir de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e das experiências dos estudos recentes, a apresentar reflexões sobre as contradições na relação entre livre-mercado e desenvolvimento humano no contexto da atual idolatria do mercado em que se pereniza sacrificando-se cada vez mais as vidas humanas, quando estas não conseguem produzir, reproduzir e desenvolver sua vida. A idolatria do mercado representa uma profunda perversão quando se interpõe como caminho único e certo para a fraternidade humana, pois a sua lógica não tem compromisso com os direitos humanos. O fenômeno livre

Un desafío clave de la política pública es cómo llevar a escala programas de primera infancia efectivos. Si la entrega de estos programas pudiera hacerse a través de la infraestructura de servicios públicos existentes, esto resultaría no solo escalable sino más costo-eficiente. Este documento es de los primeros en evaluar los impactos de corto plazo de un programa de visitas domiciliarias a escala integrado completamente con los servicios de atención primaria en salud (en este caso, la Estratégia Saúde da Família de Brasil). Nuestra estrategia de identificación explota la aleatorización origin
