I was asked for sources last night I an am returning with some that I hope will get you started on your love of both forensic anthropology (who doesn't love dead bodies and good stories? right?!) and social sciences. I mean, humans--we're crazy, fam!

For u/fireballs619 , u/Jack_Ramsey , u/DawdlingDaily, u/F-this,

Thanks to u/GirlWhoCried_BadWolf and u/fascinatedCat for making me laugh <3

​

To start, the book that sparked a lot of Forensic Osteologist's careers is The Bone Woman, by Clea Koff and unfortunately I haven't been able to find it in straight PDF. It's cheap and a quick but riveting read. A great autobiography of what it's like to be a modern osteologist, why the work is important, what we know, how we know it and how that looks in the modern world. She worked uncovering mass graves from the genocide in Rowanda and Kosovo.

And here is a good paper on Forensic Anthropology (osteology) on how one goes about figuring out the gender, age, stature, geographical lineage and perhaps identifying the remains of a person. As you can see, there are calculations, but also one admits that human variation is often beyond the ability to calculate on a spreadsheet.

​

(late add) I forgot to add something on wear patterns and how we can tell and how we can't tell what a person or group of people's specialized labor was. This paper should break that down as it talks about techniques. Tracing Patterns of Activity in the Human Skeleton: An Overview of Methods, Problems, and Limits (You may need to sign up but the paper itself is free)

​

Next I wanted to take some time and really talk to some of the people who may be confused about why they're positive that there was gender hierarchy in labor (one more important than the other) throughout history with men being more important than women. Listen, everyone, you're not wrong...you're just also not completely right either. You have to look at human culture on more than just a single timeline (x). You also have different geographical/ecological challenges for each culture that effect the way they look (y). You also have economy, be it agricultural, industrial, gather/hunter (note we are now putting gather in front, for those of you who haven't been paying attention because gathering produced more calories per work hour), horticulturalist, nomadic animal husbandry..etc...(z). Actually, I can keep adding axis after axis of important parts of human culture all the way through the alphabet. Now if you visualize in your mind these axis defining each culture you would see, each one unique but also grouped, somewhat similar with others. However, they'll be a whole host of cultures that look nothing like that. So it's hard to be universal about things. Moreover, some of y'all are working on old and often slightly discredited information. Turns out, the pillars of our big social sciences, the guys who wrote it first--were kinda racist and misogynist. I know SHOCKING!!! Their science may not be completely wrong, but sometimes those -isms kept them from asking the right questions and often, they used a lot of assumptions we now know are wrong. So, yes, you can quote research or books or seen movies about some anthropologist somewhere saying something about gender hierarchy in labor, but how old is it? Whose research is the author using? Are they asking the important questions? Just like technology, social sciences have moved fast and if you are interested, you need to keep up. (btw, can we start pushing for more updated text books?) Here's a link on the ways in which women, asking the questions, are changing the face in which we see human history and culture. Gender, Households, and Society: An Introduction Elizabeth M. Brumfiel Cynthia Robin

​

Domesticating gender: Neolithic patterns from the southern Levant, Jane Peterson is a great paper, (also given freely by the author which we should all say THANK YOU for), that not only looks at a pretty significant period of time but more importantly Peterson writes a lot about why the questions we ask about gender are often misguided by modern gender assumptions. "Abstract: This paper examines the extant evidence regarding gender reconstructions and relations for the Neolithicof the southern Levant of southwest Asia. Data from human skeletal remains, mortuary contexts, architecture, and figurative art provide the empirical bases for a broad assessment of gender in the realms of productive labor, social organization, and ideology. Overall, little evidence is found to support that Neo-lithic societies in this region were organized hierarchically in terms of gender. "

​

Here's some meat and potatoes for ya: "Abstract: ... Interlimb strength proportions among Neolithic, Bronze Age, and Iron Age women were most similar to those of living semi-elite rowers. These results suggest that, in contrast to men, rigorous manual labor was a more important component of prehistoric women’s behavior than was terrestrial mobility through thousands of years of European agriculture, at levels far exceeding those of modern women..." Prehistoric women’s manual labor exceeded that of athletes through the first 5500 years of farming in Central Europe Alison A. Macintosh, Ron Pinhasi, and Jay T. Stock

​

and one last paper that narrows down these concepts into very specific research by the same authors above. Abstract: The Bronze Age to Iron Age transition was associated with morphological change among females, with a significant increase in right-biased asymmetry and a concomitant reduction in sexual dimorphism. Relative to biomechanical properties, humeral length variation and asymmetry were low though some significant sexual dimorphism and temporal change was found. It was among females that the lateralization of humeral biomechanical properties, and variation within them, changed most profoundly through time. This suggests that the introduction of the ard and plow, metallurgical innovation, task specialization, and socioeconomic change through ∼ 5400 years of agriculture impacted upper limb loading in Central European women to a greater extent than men Divergence in male and female manipulative behaviors with the intensification of metallurgy in Central Europe. Macintosh , Pinhasi Stock J

​

Forensic Anthropology/Osteology is a pretty complicated place and I wanted to give a similar to similar research that tells a story. That is, of course, different from, let's say New World transitioning cultures who may have invented different farming techniques (they did) and so their labor divisions and wear patterns look different. This should give you a really round idea of what they do, from broad theory to exact, specific science. Also for the scientists here and those who wonder why I picked these specific papers. My intention was for you all to actually be able to read it and because of the commodification of human knowledge, a lot of the science is locked behind paywalls. I chose papers you all can access, either by submitting some information and getting it free, or just by direct link. The only one that is pay is Clea Koffs book--but honestly, you should read that.

​

finally....down here, if you got this far, is a treat from me to you. This is a great set of papers, a statement and a reply under the title "The Osteological Paradox Reconsidered" by Mark Nathan Cohen and replied by James W. Wood and George R Milner. It's about osteology---but it's funny and it shows the debates of the facts and the perspectives on the truth. I guess it's my way of saying, the science isn't 100% positive proof, but what is when we're talking variables beyond what we already know. The Osteological Paradox, Reconsidered. "The commentators are evenly divided between those who heartily loathed the paper and those who basically liked it but wanted to make additional points or suggest ways of tackling some of the problems we discussed. Since our intention was to spark debate, we welcome all the comments, even those accusing us of scientific snobbery, nihilism, and aiding and abetting the sinister pro-state. pro-civilization forces---though how we can be both nihilist and pro-civilization is something of a mystery to us."

​

Enjoy!

> I'm glad you found a champion to parrot.

Frankly, dismissing a guy with a Nobel Prize as flippantly as that is pretty brave. By brave, I really mean it's the kind of thing that "makes everyone stupider". Well done.

Secondly, the guy wrote a book entitled The Price of Inequality, so I'm pretty sure he's got some very well informed views on the minimum wage mess the in the US.

Thirdly, if we put aside theory for the moment, can we just take a step back and think about how fucking obvious it is that raising people's wages is a good thing, and that the people who are busy generating bullshit arguments and contorted theories about it are so incredibly obviously the same people who profit from driving wages down?

I mean, seriously, you would have to have been born yesterday to not be able to take that step back from the debate and see it for the horseshit factory that it is. Of course raising the minimum wage would benefit huge numbers of people directly. The effect on business? Probably very minimal. (Indeed, both of these points are borne out by evidence anyway. So there's not even any reason to have the debate - we already know the answer, and yes, it's exactly what you'd expect.)

Being equivocal on this question as you are ("Personally, I'm torn about the issue"), is a copout. If you're intellectually honest, then go find the data, work out who is running an agenda, and come to a damned conclusion.

Yeah, judging by the fact that you are not clicking the links I am posting anfd think they are to wikipedia ( have been quoting from the journal Nuclear Engineering International) then I assume that you are just interested in swaying me to your viewpoint rather than understanding the issue.

>the american arms build up and legalizing the private nuclear industry had nothing to do with one another.

Do you have some evidence for that claim?

>Eisenhower's speech laid the ground for successful amendment of the 1946 Atomic Energy Act (AEA) in 1954 to permit privatization and commercialization of fuel cycle technologies, cooperation with foreign partners, and international nuclear commerce.

All of the sources I have for the Atoms for Peace program claim otherwise. Is there a specific source I have missed?

>In general, you seem to be laboring under the illusion that wikipedia is a legitimate source for detailed historical analysis.

As I mentioned, several of the sources that went into writing that page make for interesting reading, and they clearly demonstrate the mainstream historical viewpoint on the Atoms for Peace program.

>The eisenhower administration used nuclear weapons as a way to SAVE money and spend less on arms.

That is correct, nuclear weapons were seen as a less expensive alternative, but that supports the premise that the Atoms for Peace program was a cover to use the promotion of nuclear power as a means to expand the nuclear weapons industry.

>Try reading actual books...

Okay, do you have some quotes from that book which support your argument? Anyway, the link I gave several comments ago, which strongly supports my argument, is an actual book, I just didn't give an amazon link:

>I was hoping you could give me a link to what success in combating homelessness looks like in Cuba. The reason I mentioned economic homogeneity is that "eradicating homelessness" is easy if the bar is set pretty low to begin with.

Sure:

https://fresnoalliance.com/homeless-in-cuba-not-likely/

https://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/cuba_statistics.html

This book is good if you can buy it

Cuba has advanced leaps and bounds under the Castro's most notably in indicators of quality of life like healthcare, education/literacy, sanitation, etc. It has a mortality rate lower than the US and its medical system is lauded even by capitalist NGOs as exemplary.

>Note that my issue with your claim about Cuba is separate from what you said about NY, which to me sounds more success from a statistics standpoint than combating the actual underlying issues.

You're right that NY doesn't do so well at treating the underlying issues, but IMO ensuring there are beds for every homeless person in the city is great compared to what a lot of cities do.

> Russia won the Space Race.

Won the first round, until the mid-60s. Then Korolev died, Khrushchev was ousted, and their space program lost all its initial tremendous energy.

Meanwhile JFK was delivering the "by the end of this decade" speech, the American giant was waking from its slumber and starting to flex its muscles. And then Armstrong set foot on the Moon, and America won round 2.

I speak as a former Eastern Bloc kid.

> Change my mind

Eh, you're not entirely wrong, and not entirely right either. The whole affair is pretty complex. They definitely won the first 10 years.

I recommend these books:

Like MurrayBozinski said, Kirin was set up with the help of a Scott. At the turn of the century in Japan a lot of beer companies were either started by Westerners or employed them to help get their businesses started. If you'd like to read more about it (albeit in sort of an informal style) I recommend Drinking Japan by Chris Bunting. It deals with a lot of different alcoholic beverages in Japan and also talks about some of the best bars/pubs to get said beverages at.

edit: fixed some wording

It’s just called “propaganda the art of persuasion” lol it has a image of ‘ol Adolf holding up his blood swatstika flag here is the amazon listing, amazon

The other is called propaganda as well, both are filled to the brim with 20th century propaganda from all sides of the conflict!! The Japanese entries are amazing to see, as well as the Soviet ones. I didn’t think such a book would even exist, let alone be a collection from all nations of major powers!! It’s so awesome, it’s a very large book with nice cardstock pages with super nice prints

I looked at your post history. You clearly have an agenda and this agenda does not seem to concern itself with reality.

Ottoman judicial court reports give us many examples of women slaves refusing their masters and being granted freedom. A woman in Islam, even a slave, was not a mindless fucktoy. There were many laws in place.

Read this book if you want an introduction to Ottoman Women:

http://www.amazon.com/Ottoman-Women-Asli-Sancar/dp/1597841153

-----

Plus, all white slaves were granted freedom after 7 years and black slaves were granted freedom after 9 years. No matter what. The children of a slave were not slaves. Slaves could not be killed or raped. Slaves could convert to Islam and be granted automatic freedom.

Even Sultans have been reported as being refused by a concubine. A concubine was not a sex slave that the Western imagination thought of her as. It was an important bureaucratic position, meant to educate and train future wives of generals and bureaucrats. They chose who they married and could not be forced into a marriage.

Initially, there were Wehrmacht foreign units (The Free Arabian Legion and Tiger Army were originally Wehrmacht formations) but all non-German fighting forces were later transferred to SS command. The fact that the Waffen-SS had MANY non-German units was actually something that appealed to some, since it felt more like the "crusade against bolshevism" that the party touted so heavily. Johann Voß, who served with the 6.SS Nord in Finland and France, even specifically mentions that he volunteered for the Waffen-SS BECAUSE it had many non-Germans despite being a German himself in his amazing memoir Black Edelweiß.

Problem is that those people are very class-conscious although they keep attacking anything distantly Marxist or "Marxist", they are aware of their position in capitalist society. Fascist movements always pretended to be class-transcending, they attacked whole division of people to classes and they partly succeeded, their voting structure had the biggest share of proletariat constituency among right-wing parties. In some lesser known fascisms like in Romania or Hungary the fascist party was basically the working-class party.

Also those fascisms were absolutely grassroots movements, they used paramilitaries as their armed wing. Nothing to do with few powerful politicians trying to attack their adversaries with laws.

Those arguments at the bottom of the page are laughable as well. Cutting education spending is fascist sign? Tell that to 1930s newborns that were doctrinated by schools and camps all their childhood. German fascism flourished firstly among students on universities. And if attacking collective bargaining is also fascist trait then communist governments were fascist as well, because they effectively destroyed unions by coopting them.

Those governers can be only some kind of classic authoritarians, but that won't work as slur since every populace has their kind of people who would prefer stronger iron fist in government than free love everywhere.

I sincerely recommend this book: "http://www.amazon.com/Fascists-Michael-Mann/dp/0521538556/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345749207&sr=8-1&keywords=fascism+michael+mann because it outright says it is gonna take fascists seriously which is anything but done nowadays.

Haha, I'm holding that book right now.

It looks like a paperback version of the 1964 Peking Foreign Language Press version of Selected Works of Mao Tse-Tung, with the words "Volume I" left off and some liberties taken with the coloring, which on my print is black except for the words "Mao Tse-Tung."

In the context of military recruitment, the opposite of a conscript army is a volunteer army. I'm not sure why you are finding this definition so difficult.

https://www.thevintagenews.com/2018/02/23/wwi-india-army/

> In WWI, India provided the largest volunteer army in world history

> In total, there were 1.1 million Indian volunteer soldiers that served in the army during World War One

https://www.amazon.in/Indian-Army-1914-1947-Elite/dp/1841761966

> At the height of its strength and confidence the army of British India was a unique organisation, whose officers and other ranks - all volunteers - were bound together by extraordinary ésprit de corps. Already the largest volunteer army in the world in 1914, by 1918 it had quadrupled in strength to nearly 600,000 men.

> None of the soldiers was a conscript - soldiering was their profession. They served the very British Empire that was oppressing their own people back home.
