Etrange légende. L'homme ne serait qu'un accident génétique, une erreur de la vie. Quelle est donc cette malédiction du XXe siècle, cette croyance, version néodarwinienne de nos origines ? En 1987, une importante découverte en paléontologie humaine montre comment les crânes se sont transformés depuis soixante millions d'années, des plus anciens fossiles jusqu'à l'homme. Tout se passe, au cours du développement embryonnaire, d'une façon logique et ordonnée, et non pas hasardeuse. La science dévoile une loi. C'est une véritable révolution : l'homme découvre qu'il est un processus en cours. Anne Dambricourt présente cette découverte qui touche directement nos origines. Parce qu'elle est scientifique, elle soumet les éléments du débat. Parce qu'elle s'interroge sur les origines de la pensée, elle confronte ses résultats aux réflexions de Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. Parce que sa recherche personnelle l'a conduite de l'athéisme à la compréhension du sens de la foi, elle met en lumière les dangers spirituels de la récupération du néodarwinisme par l'athéisme. Parce qu'elle est femme, enfin, elle nous parle de l'homme, non pas comme d'une simple mécanique biologique, mais comme d'une personne humaine, l'autre, l'enfant porté et attendu, auquel la mère accepte de dire oui, un oui dont la source mystérieuse et essentielle reste l'amour.

Primates have unusual heads among mammals. Their big brains, relatively short faces and forward-facing eyes are part of a unique combination of traits that have captured the interest of biological anthropologists for decades. Describing the patterns of primate craniofacial evolution as well as sorting out the functional consequences of this evolutionary history has been fundamental in developing our current understanding of primates. Primate Craniofacial Function and Biology surveys current research on primate heads emphasizing the recent progress and diversity of functional studies into primate and mammalian craniofacial form. Much of the work included in this volume was inspired by William L. Hylander and his life-long contribution to research on primate craniofacial form and function.

In the present as in the past, the dead have been deployed to promote visions of identity, as well as ostensibly wider human values. Through a series of case studies from ancient Egypt through prehistoric, historic, and present-day Europe, this book discusses what is constant and what is locally and historically specific in our ways of interacting with the remains of the dead, their objects, and monuments. Postmortem interaction encompasses not only funerary rituals and intergenerational engagement with forebears, but also concerns encounters with the dead who died centuries and millennia ago. Drawing from a variety of disciplines such as archaeology, bioarchaeology, literary studies, ancient Egyptian philology, and sociocultural anthropology, this volume provides an interdisciplinary account of the ways in which the dead are able to transcend temporal distances and engender social relationships. Until quite recently, literary sciences and archaeology were generally regarded as incommensurable in their aims, methodologies, and source material. Although archaeologists and literary critics have been increasingly willing to borrow concepts and terminology from the other discipline, this book is one examples of a genuinely collaborative endeavor. This is an open access book.
