In search of the neanderthals: solving the puzzle of human origins
No full textEver since the first discovery of their bones, the Neanderthals have provoked controversy. Who were they? How were they related to modern people? What caused their disappearance 35,000 years ago? The Neanderthals have become the archetype of all that is primitive. But what is their true story? Today Neanderthal specialists are locked in one of the fiercest debates in modern science. One side, the "multiregional" school, argues that the Neanderthals and their contemporaries evolved semi-independently into modern humans. Christopher Stringer leads the "out of Africa" school, which believes that the Neanderthals were replaced by modern people from Africa. Here he sets out his views for the first time, with the archaeologist Clive Gamble. Step by step the authors put forward their case. The Neanderthals had an anatomy crucially different from our own, adapted to Ice Age Europe. Neanderthal behaviour similarly points to fundamental differences. New genetic evidence strongly suggests a single origin for modern humans in Africa. The authors argue that, capable and intelligent as the Neanderthals were, they proved no match for the better-organized, better-equipped newcomers, and died out
A sociological history of Christian worship
No full textIn this book the 2000 year history of Christian worship is viewed from a sociological perspective. Martin Stringer develops the idea of discourse as a way of understanding the place of Christian worship within its many and diverse social contexts. Beginning with the Biblical material the author provides a broad survey of changes over 2000 years of the Christian church, together with a series of case studies that highlight particular elements of the worship, or specific theoretical applications. Stringer does not simply examine the mainstream traditions of Christian worship in Europe and Byzantium, but also gives space to lesser-known traditions in Armenia, India, Ethiopia and elsewhere. Offering a contribution to the ongoing debate that breaks away from a purely textual or theological study of Christian worship, this book provides a greater understanding of the place of worship in its social and cultural context
Eoplinthicus yazooensis Cappetta & Stringer 2002
No full textEoplinthicus yazooensis Cappetta & Stringer, 2002 Fig. 54 Eoplinthicus yazooensis Cappetta & Stringer, 2002: 51–56, pl. 1. Material examined UNITED STATES OF AMERICA – Alabama • 1 isolated tooth; Claiborne Group; ALMNH PV1985.35.65. Description A single median tooth is represented in our sample. Tooth is very wide, but labiolingually thin, sixsided. Occlusal surface concave across nearly the entire width; occlusal surface outlined by a sharp, irregular rim. In oral view, crown is conspicuously smaller in area than the crown base. Labial crown face concave, with lower half projecting labially and upper half nearly vertical. Lingual face vertical and straight, slight lingual projection at the crown foot. Very base of lingual crown bears weak transverse ridge immediately above the root. All crown faces with coarse ornamentation of vertical anastomosing and interconnected ridges that become finer apically. Polyaulocorhize root as high as the crown. Labial and lingual faces nearly vertical; 13 narrow lobes are separated by 12 nutritive grooves. Remarks When originally described, Eoplinthicus was not directly differentiated from Burnhamia, possibly because the two genera were not known to co-occur within the Yazoo Clay (Cappetta & Stringer 2002). However, both Eoplinthicus and Burnhamia were collected from the upper Gosport Sand (see above), and a differential diagnosis is provided here. Eoplinthicus yazooensis is now known from three teeth (including two from the Yazoo Clay), all of which can be distinguished from Burnhamia by having an occlusal surface that is significantly smaller in area than the crown base. In contrast, the occlusal surface on Burnhamia teeth is equal to, or only slightly smaller in area than, the crown base. Additionally, the lower half of the labial face of E. yazooensis is broadly rounded, whereas on Burnhamia the labial crown foot is developed into a sharp horizontal or basally directed projection. In profile, the lateral angles of E. yazooensis are not as sharply defined as observed on Burnhamia. Also, the occlusal surface of E. yazooensis bears a series of fine labiolingually oriented striations, as opposed to a somewhat reticulated network of ridges on the oral surface of Burnhamia teeth. The labial margin on E. yazooensis is less sharply defined than Burnhamia, which has a sharp six-sided outline in occlusal view. Cappetta & Stringer (2002) implied that Eoplinthicus was a direct descendant of Burnhamia, but this theory must be further examined in light of the discovery that these taxa were coeval within the Gosport Sand paleoenvironment. A second Eoplinthicus species, E. underwoodi Adnet et al. 2012, has been reported from middle-toupper Eocene strata in Africa. This species differs from E. yazooensis in being smaller in size (with six root lamellae) and by having less developed crown ornamentation. Stratigraphic and geographic range in Alabama The lone specimen in our sample was collected from the upper Gosport Sand at site ACh-21. Middle Bartonian, Zone NP17. Batomorphii indet. Fig. 55 Material examined UNITED STATES OF AMERICA – Alabama • 3 isolated teeth; Claiborne Group; MSC 37675.1–2, SC 2012.47.154. Description Teeth do not exceed 2 mm in crown height. Upper one-half to two-thirds of crown formed into laterally compressed, vertical to slightly lingually curving cusp. Lower one-third to one-half of crown wider, shelf-like laterally and lingually, with labial crown foot developed into small, divergent projections. Labial projections separated by shallow to deep medial embayment. Lingual crown foot straight or with weakly developed medial notch. Crown with trapezoidal to square outline in oral view, but more triangular in profile. Root located at lingual half of crown, bilobate with wide nutritive groove, extends past the lingual crown foot. Remarks The crown on these teeth is distinctive for their tall, laterally compressed cusp, conspicuous, diverging basal labial projections and roughly square oral outline. Although similar to teeth of Jacquhermania and the male teeth of “ Dasyatis ” described herein, the three teeth in our sample differ significantly in having a laterally compressed cusp that lacks lateral cutting edges. In addition, male teeth of “ Dasyatis ” bear ornamentation of various types (see above). Although the specimens are morphologically comparable to, and within the size range of, most members of the Torpedinidae, particularly Torpedo, the Lisbon specimens differ from all Recent and fossil Torpedinidae, except Eotorpedo, in lacking distinctive lateral cutting edges extending from the cusp apex to nearly the crown base (Cappetta 1988; Herman et al. 2002). Eotorpedo White, 1935 can have a cusp similar to the Lisbon specimens described above, as well as labial projections separated by a deep embayment and a notch at the lingual crown foot. A significant difference between the Lisbon specimens and these two species of Eotorpedo is the lack of a basal transverse crest on the Alabama teeth. Some specimens identified as Eotorpedo, including Eotorpedo nolfi Herman, 1974 (Herman 1974: fig. 1, a-c) and Eotorpedo jaekeli (Case, 1994) (see Case 1994a) may in fact be Jacquhermania (Cappetta 2012; Cappetta & Case 2016). It is possible that the Claibornian specimens described above represent juvenile teeth of Jacquhermania, but to our knowledge this morphology has not previously been attributed to this genus. Additional, more complete, specimens are needed to more accurately identify this morphology.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
