Emergence and Limits of the Archaeology of Spirituality

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/emergence-and-limits-of-the-archaeology-of-spirituality-489ec11ca9dd

 I have collected here all I have published on the subject of the emergence of Homo Sapiens and of human language and spirituality in very old archaeological times. From the migrations out of "black" Africa to the role of women in the survival of the species, the education and raising of the children that will reach maturity (1 out of 4), and human spirituality and what was called arts, I propose a reevaluation, in fact essentially a different reading, of archaeological data by pondering upon the crucial role of the development of the mind and articulated language as soon as 300,000 years ago, leaving, of course, no archaeological trace but enabling the migrations, the survival and expansion of the species, and the migrations went as far as North and South America, as I am today convinced and have published within my research on Mayan culture, language and Mesoamerican civilization, all nearly annihilated by colonialism, essentially Iberic for nearly two centuries before the arrival of the Dutch, the English and the French.

WOMEN’S ROLE AND POSITION

IN THE EMERGENCE OF HOMO SAPIENS

 

Dr. Jacques COULARDEAU[1]

 

Abstract

Homo Sapiens (HS) started emerging around 300,000 BP. HS, a long-distance fast bipedal runner had a 29-year life expectancy. The ensuing physiological mutations caused the birth of long-dependent children. Their side-effect was enhanced vocal articulation. Linguistic phylogeny produced language with three time-ordered articulations: 1- rotation vowels-consonants into roots; 2- space- and time-categorization of roots into stems; 3- functional and temporal specifications of stems into fronds. Full communicational discursive syntax over 200,000 years and migrations out of Black Africa at each stage.

Between 13-29, women were pregnant every 18 months to raise at least three individuals to full procreational adult age. Women enjoyed a special division of labor to care for children for 3-5 years each.

This required observing menstrual and pregnancy cycles to guarantee impregnation, safe pregnancy, and delivery. These cycles are close to moon cycles: menstrual cycle = 1 moon cycle; pregnancy cycle = 10 moon cycles. Marshack rightly studied cycles but missed their menstrual dimension pinpointing fertility. Then we do have moon cycles till birth.

Women henceforth developed as spiritual members in their communities, hereinafter their place in the production of symbolic cave and mobiliary art. The spiritual dimension of such symbolism must heavily be centered on women.

Around 45,000 BCE all over the world, HS communities who had migrated out of Black Africa between 250,000 and 70,000 BP developed women-centered symbolism for the first time on durable media, though male-centered hunting weapons and tools had been produced even by previous Hominins.

INTRODUCTION

I will only consider the place of women in the emergence of homo sapiens in this presentation keeping the sexual division of labor for the raising of children for the face-to-face presentation

 

“We are, however, here concerned only with that kind of selection, which I have called sexual selection. This depends on the advantage which certain individuals have over other individuals of the same sex and species, in exclusive relation to reproduction.”

 

But Darwin is centered on animal species, and a lot of insects and fish, not human species or higher mammal species, though he seems to approach the Homo Genus with the following quotation when envisaging this sexualized mate choice within the concept of pairs of partners (same reference, Part I, p. 263):

 

“Such pairs would have an advantage in rearing offspring, more especially if the male had the power to defend the female during the pairing-season, as occurs with some of the higher animals, or aided in providing for the young.”

 

This bipedal upright position is thus typical of the Homo species (plural) and that’s the difference with apes, including the top ones who are still able to use their grasping feet to climb in trees and who are able to run with the help of their arms and hands, which Hominins normally do not do, certainly from Homo Erectus onward.

But Homo Sapiens goes one stage further than all other Hominins: they became long-distance bipedal fast runners when they got out of the forest and the protection of trees to develop in the savanna, and their whole bodily structure was transformed by this fundamental evolution, first of all, brought to the species by the mutation of the foot, seen as follows.

 

Fig. 1. Salient features of the human foot, and the windlass mechanism in action. (A) A medial view of the human foot bones highlighting the pronounced longitudinal arch (LA, dashed line) and a schematic illustration  of the Cal-Met angle that we used as a measure of dynamic arch compression (the angle formed between the calcaneus and metatarsal segments of the foot model, as defined in ref. 43). (B) Superior view of the human foot bones with a depiction of how the human hallux (bold outline) is greatly adducted from the opposable hallux found in fossil remains of our hominin ancestors (e.g., dashed outline). (C) A plantar view of the human foot showing the largest superficial PIMs that span the LA and MTP joints: Abductor hallucis (AH) and FDB. The PIMs also include abductor digiti minimi, quadratus plantae, flexor hallucis brevis, the lumbricals, and adductor hallucis (17), which have not been included here for clarity. (D) Depicts the windlass mechanism in action from mid to late stance in human walking. From left to right, the foot rotates about the MTP joints, tensioning the plantar aponeurosis (PA) and raising the LA (decreasing the Cal-Met angle) before the toes are plantar-flexed as the PA recoils just before toe-off.

IFIASA — 5th Conference — Romania

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/ifiasa-5th-conference-romania-6cc53c46b501

This conference attempts to bring together all the mental achievements of humanity since it emerged as Homo Sapiens 300,000 years ago. The same human capability, their mental conceptualization that can only exist and develop along with, thanks to, and simultaneously with language, produced abstraction to answer the simple questions: What is the world we are living in? What are we doing here? Who are we? Why are we here?

And that produced religion, philosophy, science, arts, poetry, and technology. We can only develop this world of ours if we bring together all our abilities in some kind of harmony or collaboration, and by religion I mean all religions, by science I mean all sciences, by arts I mean all arts, etc.

When we miss this collaboration and cooperation we come to extreme situations that are unacceptable like the beheading of Samuel Paty in France or the offhanded rejection of any scientific approach of the present pandemic à la Donald Trump. And his own wife is having a relapse. We cannot accept such sectarianism and the ridiculous rejection of Asians and Extreme Oriental people, Chinese or whatever, just because they do not play the same Kleine Nacht Musik at night as us, if we play any music at night.

Let's make it a world congress against any segregation and rejection of the differences of others.

WELCOME IN SPITE OF COVID-19 IN ONE YEAR

Dear Colleagues,

I apologize for not giving any news, but the situation at Covid 19 in Brazil has been very serious and teachers like me have been overwhelmed with the work of preparing classes for students who are isolated in their homes, having to study in very precarious conditions.

The main purpose of the 18th Circular is to inform you that the dead line for submitting abstracts for the presentation of posters and for the regular sessions have been extended to March 3rd, 2021.

I reiterate that you check whether your name is correct, in the right Session or if it is not missing, in the Extended Provisional Program

The honorary members of ISAPL, Prof. Leonor Scliar-Cabral (Florianopolis, Brazil) and Prof. Maria da Graça Pinto (Porto, Portugal) along with the ISAPL Board members and the Presidents of the 12th International Congress, Profs. João Torrão and Maria Teresa Roberto (Aveiro, Portugal) welcome and invite all scholars and students interested in the area of Applied Psycholinguistics to participate in the Congress and in its scientific, social, and cultural activities.

This important Scientific Meeting provides an exciting opportunity to share information on research with colleagues from around the world, integrating basic scientific research with practical applications for the benefit of human modern life.

The special emphasis topic of the Congress is on NEW PERSPECTIVES IN PSYCHOLINGUISTIC RESEARCH: LANGUAGE, CULTURE, TECHNOLOGIES, having in view what Cultural and Applied Psycholinguistics can offer for the benefit of our contemporary world.

RESEARCHGATE.NET

Applied Linguistics is becoming crucial in our world of COVID-19, a visitor that is here to stay. How can communication, oral, written, in absentia, in praesentia, virtual, real or any other means and media, continue in a world where face-to-face becomes dangerous, and research right now tells us we cannot expect immunity, due to anti-bodies' undetermined life span, to last more than a few months? What does it mean for education for example.
