How Cold War America came to attribute human evolutionary success to our species' unique capacity for murder
After World War II, the question of how to define a universal human nature took on new urgency. Creatures of Cain charts the rise and precipitous fall in Cold War America of a theory that attributed man's evolutionary success to his unique capacity for murder. Drawing on a wealth of archival materials and in-depth interviews, Erika Lorraine Milam reveals how the scientists who advanced this "killer ape" theory capitalized on an expanding postwar market in intellectual paperbacks and widespread faith in the power of science to solve humanity's problems, even to answer the most fundamental questions of human identity. The killer ape theory spread quickly from colloquial science publications to late-night television, classrooms, political debates, and Hollywood films. Behind the scenes, however, scientists were sharply divided, their disagreements centering squarely on questions of race and gender. Then, in the 1970s, the theory unraveled altogether when primatologists discovered that chimpanzees also kill members of their own species. While the discovery brought an end to definitions of human exceptionalism delineated by violence, Milam shows how some evolutionists began to argue for a shared chimpanzee-human history of aggression even as other scientists discredited such theories as sloppy popularizations. A wide-ranging account of a compelling episode in American science, Creatures of Cain argues that the legacy of the killer ape persists today in the conviction that science can resolve the essential dilemmas of human nature.

Автор: Petra ten-Doesschate Chu, Jennifer Milam Название: Beyond Chinoiserie: Artistic Exchange between China and the West during the Late Qing Dynasty (1796-1911) ISBN: 900438782X ISBN-13(EAN): 9789004387829 Издательство: Brill Цена: 108910.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: The complex interweaving of different Western visions of China had a profound impact on artistic exchange between China and the West during the nineteenth century. Beyond Chinoiserie addresses the complexity of this exchange. While the playful Western “vision of Cathay” formed in the previous century continued to thrive, a more realistic vision of China was increasingly formed through travel accounts, paintings, watercolors, prints, book illustrations, and photographs. Simultaneously, the new discipline of sinology led to a deepening of the understanding of Chinese cultural history. Leading and emerging scholars in the fields of art history, literary studies and material culture, have authored the ten essays in this book, which deal with artistic relations between China and the West at a time when Western powers’ attempts to extend a sphere of influence in China led to increasingly hostile political interactions.

"Who will go with old Ben Milam into San Antonio?"
That rallying call from the Texian soldier named Ben Milam still resounds from the pages of Texas history. His motivation inspired 300 volunteers to attack Mexican forces that were holding San Antonio. As a result, the Mexican army there surrendered, allowing Texians to take over the Alamo. He would not live long enough to learn their fate at that famous mission.
This biography for young readers reveals the life story of Ben Milam-silver miner, trader with the Comanches, colonizer, and committed soldier. The Kentucky native originally helped Mexico in its fight for freedom from Spain. But as he tried to organize a colony in Texas, he began to realize the injustice that Mexico was placing on American settlers. He joined the Texian cause and helped capture Goliad before encouraging his fellow Texians onward to San Antonio.
Author Ruth Carnes tells the story of this famous Texan in a style that is personal, riveting, and touching.
