Abstract

This book provides an update on the phylogeny, systematics and ecology of horses in South America based on data provided over the past three decades. The contemporary South American mammalian communities were shaped by the emergence of the Isthmus of Panama and by the profound climatic oscillations during the Pleistocene. Horses were a conspicuous group of immigrant mammals from North America that arrived in South America during the Pleistocene. This group is represented by 2 genera, Hippidion and Equus, which include small species (Hippidion devillei, H. saldiasi, E. andium and E. insulatus) and large forms (Equus neogeus and H. principale). Both groups arrived in South America via 2 different routes. One model designed to explain this migration indicates that the small forms used the Andes corridor, while larger horses used the eastern route and arrived through some coastal areas. Molecular dating (ancient DNA) suggests that the South American horses separated from the North American taxa (caballines and the New World stilt-legged horse) after 3.6 - 3.2 Ma, consistent with the final formation of the Panamanian Isthmus. Recent studies of stable isotopes in these horses indicate an extensive range of 13C values cover closed woodlands to C4 grasslands. This plasticity agrees with the hypothesis that generalist species and open biome specialist species from North America indicate a positive migration through South America.

Abstract

Donkeys carried Christ into Jerusalem while in Greek myth they transported Hephaistos up to Mount Olympos and Dionysos into battle against the Giants. They were probably the first animals that people ever rode, as well as the first used on a large-scale as beasts of burden. Associated with kingship and the gods in the ancient Near East, they have been (and in many places still are) a core technology for moving people and goods over both short and long distances, as well as a supplier of muscle power for threshing and grinding grain, pressing olives, raising water, ploughing fields, and pulling carts, to name just a few of the uses to which they have been put. Yet despite this, they remain one of the least studied, and most widely ignored, of all domestic animals, consigned to the margins of history like so many of those who still depend upon them. Spanning the globe and extending from the donkey's initial domestication up to the present, this book seeks to remedy this situation by using archaeological evidence, in combination with insights from history and anthropology, to resituate the donkey (and its hybrid offspring such as the mule) in the unfolding of human history, looking not just at what donkeys and mules did, but also at how people have thought about and understood them.

Abstract

"Certains domaines d’expertise ont un caractère plus réservé que d’autres et leur histoire est de ce fait plus difficile à retracer : c’est le cas de l’art vétérinaire, pourtant essentiel dans toute société depuis la nuit des temps. L’originalité du colloque qui s’est tenu à Louvain-la-Neuve au printemps de 2011 était de ne pas se limiter aux sources strictement vétérinaires, où le cheval se taille la part du lion, mais d’étendre le champ d’investigation aux textes cynégétiques, qui incluent régulièrement des indications thérapeutiques relatives aux fidèles compagnons du chasseur, les faucons et les chiens. Les articles, rédigés par des chercheurs d’horizons divers – philologues, historiens, historiens de l’art –, apportent un éclairage multiple et contrasté sur l’art de soigner les animaux dans l’Antiquité et le Moyen Âge européens et attestent le regain d’intérêt que connaît son étude. À côté des acquis que présentent d’ores et déjà ces recherches, celles-ci soulèvent maintes questions et montrent à quel point l’histoire de la médecine vétérinaire tire profit d’un horizon élargi et décloisonné"--Publisher's website.
