Abstract

All humans share certain components of tooth structure, but show variation in size and morphology around this shared pattern which is studied by dental anthropologists. This book presents the first worldwide synthesis of the global variation in tooth structure in recent populations. It: • describes the methods and assumptions used by dental anthropologists • discusses the genetic basis of nonmetric dental traits • portrays the geographic variation of tooth crown and root traits • analyzes dental variation on a global scale paralleling major genetic and craniometric analyses The book illustrates more than 30 tooth crown and root traits and reviews their biological and genetic underpinnings. This analysis links extinct and extant populations and so serves as a useful tool for elucidating population relationships and histories.

Abstract

Le corps malmené, violenté, brutalisé a fait l’objet, pour la période moderne et contemporaine, d’un certain nombre de travaux remarquables, mais souvent épars. L’étude des « corps saccagés », vivants ou morts, pose la question d’une « cruauté résiduelle » et celle du transfert de la violence concrète vers l’imaginaire. Mais faire l’inventaire des corps dégradés, lacérés ou encore démembrés s’avère sans doute une entreprise démesurée. Il reste toutefois possible de multiplier les approches et de s’attacher aussi bien à décrire les corps brutalisés, qu’à s’interroger sur les logiques du passage à l’acte ou à analyser la « réception » des violences corporelles. Dans le même temps s’élabore une science des « indices », étudiant les plaies et les traces sanguinolentes, tentant d’expliquer les crimes particulièrement horribles. À leur tour, des artistes se mettent à la recherche de la matérialité du corps, quitte à s’attacher plus particulièrement « à cette charogne des corps morcelés enfouie en chacun de nous ». Le crime individuel comme le massacre, les violences sexuelles à l’intérieur de la famille ou l’instrumentalisation des violences corporelles donnent au « corps saccagé » une actualité sans cesse renouvelée. Du corps des enfants violentés aux corps malmenés des soldats, il s’agit de varier les échelles d’analyse et d’examiner aussi bien les brutalités individuelles que les drames collectifs. Les usages du corps renseignent sur la volonté de savoir ce qui s’est passé ; ils informent sur les pratiques inavouables à l’encontre des corps vivants ou morts ; ils fixent, selon les époques, les formes de violences corporelles jugées inacceptables.

Abstract

Human Paleobiology provides a unifying framework for the study of human populations, both past and present, to a range of changing environments. It integrates evidence from studies of human adaptability, comparative primatology, and molecular genetics to document consistent measures of genetic distance between subspecies, species and other taxonomic groupings. These findings support the interpretation of the biology of humans in terms of a smaller number of populations characterised by higher levels of genetic continuity than previously hypothesised. Using this as a basis, Robert Eckhardt then goes on to analyse problems in human paleobiology including phenotypic differentiation, patterns of species range expansion and phyletic succession in terms of the patterns and processes still observable in extant populations. This book will be a challenging and stimulating read for students and researchers interested in human paleobiology or evolutionary anthropology.
