Excerpt from Prehistoric Problems: Being a Selection of Essays on the Evolution of Man and Other Controverted Problems in Anthropology and Archaeology The archaeological articles are more especially intended to illustrate the methods and results of comparative archaeology; but, apart from this, I trust none of them will be found barren of interest to those who are anxious to keep themselves an courant with the general progress of archaeology.

Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: ...dans les conditions indiquees plus haut a du etre des plus actives; les deux sexes ont du contribuer activement a la progression et les jeunes ont du imiter leurs parents avec une facilite toujours croissante. En ce qui concerne les consequences morphologiques directes de l'attitude bipede, on peut presumer que ces consequences mecaniques se sont produits avec une grande rapidite, si l'on en juge d'apres les multiples variations squelettiques determinees chez l'homme sous l'influence de variations fonctionnelles minimes relativement a celles que nous envisageons ici.1 In this same article the eminent Parisian anthropologist suggests that the destruction of the Java forests by some volcanic catastrophe--a phenomenon which the geologic records prove to have been of frequent occurrence in the island in Tertiary times--might have been the means of compelling a large-sized species of gibbon to resort to the erect attitude, and thus to accommodate himself in the best way possible to the circumstances arising from this unforeseen calamity. This hypothesis, with equal probability, might be extended so as to include the supposition that in such, or analogous, conditions there were two species of manlike apes, both of which assumed the erect attitude as a result of frequent and mortal combats for supremacy. 1 Revue Scientifique, vol. v., 4th series, 1896, p. 297. f It is not inconceivable that a powerful leader among one or other of the combatants might have distinguished himself by rushing on his enemies in a rampant attitude, wielding a piece of wood which he could even then well grasp, and thus by a combination of strategy and physical strength put them to...

Our bodies are not fixed. They expand and contract with variations in diet, exercise, and illness. They also alter as we age, changing over time to be markedly different at the end of our lives from what they were at birth. In a similar way, our attitudes to bodies, and especially posture—how people hold themselves, how they move—are fluid. We interpret stance and gait as healthy or ill, able or disabled, elegant or slovenly, beautiful or ugly. In Stand Up Straight!, Sander L. Gilman probes these shifting concepts of posture to explore how society’s response to our bodies’ appearance can illuminate how society views who we are and what we are able to do. The first comprehensive history of the upright body at rest and in movement, Stand Up Straight! stretches from Neanderthals to modern humans to show how we have used our understanding of posture to define who we are—and who we are not. Gilman traverses theology and anthropology, medicine and politics, discarded ideas of race and the most modern ideas of disability, theories of dance and concepts of national identity in his quest to set straight the meaning of bearing. Fully illustrated with an array of striking images from medical, historical, and cultural sources, Stand Up Straight! interweaves our developing knowledge of anatomy and a cultural history of posture to provide a highly original account of our changing attitudes toward stiff spines, square shoulders, and flat tummies through time.

The humanities in higher education are too often labeled as impractical and are not usually valued in today's marketplace. Yet in professional fields, such as the health sciences, interest in what the humanities can offer has increased. Advocates claim the humanities offer health care professionals greater insight into how to work with those who need their help. Illness and Image introduces undergraduates and professionals to the medical humanities, using a series of case studies, beginning with debates about male circumcision from the ancient world to the present, to the meanings of authenticity in the face transplantation arena. The case studies address the interpretation of mental illness as a disability and the "new" category of mental illness, "self-harm." Sander L. Gilman shows how medicine projects such categories' existence into the historical past to show that they are not bound in time and space and, therefore, are "real." Illness and Image provides students and researchers with models and possible questions regarding categories often assumed to be either trans-historical or objective, making it useful as a textbook.
