Animal sacrifice has been critical to the study of ancient Mediterranean religions since the 18th century. Two leading views on sacrifice have dominated the subject: the psychological approach of Walter Burkert and the sociological one by Jean-Pierre Vernant and Marcel Detienne. These two perspectives have argued that the main feature of sacrifice is allaying feelings of guilt at the slaughter of sacrificial animals. Naiden redresses the omission of these salient features to show that animal sacrifice is an attempt to make contact with a divine being, and that it is so important for the worshippers that it becomes subject to regulations of unequaled extent and complexity.

Si les animaux ont bien une histoire, ce domaine de la recherche historique demeure encore aujourd’hui peu exploré. Dans le cadre du C.R.Hi.S.M. et des journées scientifiques du Pôle Européen (Montpellier), Marie-Claude Marandet s’est entourée d’une équipe pluridisciplinaire de chercheurs pour lever un pan du voile qui recouvre ce sujet essentiel pour la compréhension du passé. En diversifiant les points de vue et en privilégiant une approche diachronique, cet ouvrage témoigne de la fécondité de cet objet d’investigation à part entière qu’est l’animal. Au travers de 10 contributions, de nombreux éclairages inédits sont ainsi offerts au lecteur. Il semble que l’on gère très tôt les ressources animales : ainsi, l’augmentation de la taille des bovins au XIIIe siècle, notée par les archéozoologues, peut s’expliquer par de possibles échanges commerciaux apportant des animaux plus grands, mais aussi par une transformation des animaux locaux, obtenue, par exemple, par une reproduction plus tardive des femelles. Le bétail apparait dans les textes normatifs comme destructeur potentiel de récoltes : on lui interdit une partie du finage et, même, à Toulouse, au XVIIIe siècle, les propriétaires de chiens doivent les tenir attaches au temps des vendanges pour empêcher qu’ils n’aillent dans les vignes manger les raisins. L’animal est, très tôt, considère comme une source de pollution, de maladies, on insiste sur les nuisances, les accidents liés à sa présence et on interdit même parfois l’élevage familial. Des coutumes du XIIIe siècle règlementent la qualité des viandes et abats proposes sur les marches, sujet toujours d’actualité.

The purpose of this book is to explain why red-winged blackbirds are polygynous and to describe the effects of this mating system on other aspects of the biology of the species. Polygyny is a mating system in which individual males form long-term mating relationships with more than one female at a time. The authors show that females choose to mate polygynously because there is little cost to sharing male parental care in this species, and because females gain protection against nest predation by nesting near other females. Polygyny has the effect of intensifying sexual selection on males by increasing the variance in mating success among males. For females, polygyny means that they will often share a male's territory with other females during the breeding season and will thus be forced to adapt to frequent female-female interactions.This work reviews the results of many studies by other researchers, as well as presenting the authors' own results. Studies of red-winged blackbirds have ranged from long-term investigations of reproductive success and demography, to research on genetic parentage based on modern molecular methods, to a variety of experimental manipulations of ecological circumstances and behavior. Since the red-winged blackbird is one of the best studied species of any taxa in terms of its behavior and ecology, the authors have a particularly extensive body of results on which to base their conclusions.Originally published in 1995.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Can animals experience emotions? Do they have a life story? The INRA addressed these questions by performing a collective scientific assessment of animal consciousness. This multidisciplinary evaluation, in which a vast body of behavioral, cognitive and neurobiological studies is analyzed, tends to show the existence of conscious thought processes in animals.

The increasing realization among behaviorists and psychologists is that many animals learn by observation as members of social systems. Such settings contribute to the formation of culture. This book combines the knowledge of two groups of scientists with different backgrounds to establish a working consensus for future research. The book is divided into two major sections, with contributions by a well-known, international, and interdisciplinary team which integrates these growing areas of inquiry.Key Features* Integrates the broad range of scientific approaches being used in the s
