Perverted Primates
Very simply, the culture of another people does not have to be accepted when it is subhuman! Armstrong Williams
Saturday, March 29, 2008
Can you sterilize that please?
A picnic table. For most it brings thoughts of warm summer days, gathered around with friends and food having a good time.
But for Art Pierce Jr, a married father of three- the sight of a picnic table seems to provoke other less wholesome thoughts ... and really his thoughts leave me pretty grossed out.
Price was seen on four separate occasions, always between 10:30 a.m. and noon, having sex with the picnic table, Bellevue Police Capt. Matt Johnson told the TV station.
"The first video we had, he was completely nude," Johnson said, noting the table in question had a hole in the middle intended to hold an umbrella.
You can't imagine the creeped out laughs I had over last that last night, seriously there's not enough bleach in the world to make me ever willing to walk near that table- let alone eat at it.

FITNA
There's a new film making the rounds, produced by the Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders. I've seen it and it's a good film, brief, to the point, and disturbing.
However, it hasn't been easy. As soon as the film was posted, various sites have removed it (shamefully). Although YouTube claims the film will be available (or has been) I was not able to view it there. Another site has been providing updated lists of the various addresses where it can be viewed (although it has already been removed from some of them).
I've tried to embed the movie below.
And here is what an editorial at Boston.Com has to say:
Facing the truth about jihadist violence
April 2, 2008 THE GLOBAL jihad is unpleasant. Consequently "Fitna," the controversial new film about the Koran and jihadist violence produced by the Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders, is also unpleasant. Parts of it are graphic and violent, and you might find it difficult to watch. But watch it you should , if only to remind yourself of two things the media are generally too intimidated or politically correct to dwell on: Jihadists are waging a bloody and barbaric war, and they are waging it with explicit reference to their religion.

http://anthropology.si.edu/HumanOrigins/ha/primate.html
Our Primate Origins: An Introduction Like all other organisms, humans have evolved over time from earlier species, and share a genetic relationship to all other forms of life on Earth. The study of human evolution involves understanding the similarities and differences between humans and other species in their genes, body form, physiology, and behavior. To understand human evolution one must understand where humans fit in relation to other forms of life. Modern humans belong to the group of mammals known as Primates. This is the scientific category describing such diverse creatures as lemurs, lorises, tarsiers, the monkeys of the New World and Old World, and also the apes. As primates we all share many characteristics, such as overlapping fields of vision caused by forward looking eyes (this allows for greater 3D vision), fine ability to grasp and handle objects in our hands, and enlarged brains relative to body size. The evolution of the Primates started in the early part of the Eocene epoch (about 55 million years ago).

Non-human Primates Convey Meaning Through Call Combinations
ScienceDaily (Mar. 11, 2008) See also: "In linguistics, morphemes are usually defined as 'the smallest meaningful units in the grammar of a language,'" said Klaus Zuberbühler of the University of St. Andrewsfor instance, a word such as "cat" or a prefix such as "un-." "Our research has revealed some interesting parallels in the vocal behavior of forest monkeys and this crucial feature of human language." Male putty-nosed monkeys (Cercopithecus nictitans) produce different alarm-call series in response to a number of disturbances, including leopards and crowned eagles, earlier studies had shown. Call series consisting of "pyows" are a common response to leopards, while series of "hacks" and "hacks" followed by "pyows" are given to eagles, the researchers said. In addition, males assemble "pyows" and "hacks" into unique "pyow-hack" sequences. Zuberbühler and his colleague Kate Arnold, also of the University of St. Andrews, now provide evidence that the various "hacks" and "pyows" of male putty-nosed monkey contain at least three types of information:

Pint-sized primates were first in North America
Leaping, furry mini-monkeys crossed Bering land bridge long before humans
Mark A. Klingler / CMNH
Fossils of a new primate species called Teilhardina magnoliana were discovered in Mississippi. The mouse-size primate would have lived in trees along the coastlines about 55.8 million years ago, the researcher says.
By By Jeanna Bryner Leaping, furry mini-monkeys that were as small as mice crossed the Bering land bridge long before humans, representing North America's oldest known primates. This new claim is based on the fossils of at least three individuals of this previously unknown species of extinct primate uncovered at a site near Meridian, Miss., scientists announced today. The researcher estimates the primate fossils date to about 55.8 million years ago. If the age of the fossils is accurate, the new finding could indicate that early primates migrated across the land bridge that once connected Siberia with Alaska long before Homo sapiens that arrived some 12,000 to 14,000 years ago. The teeny primate crossover from Asia happened during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum when global temperatures rose at a rate and magnitude similar to today's global warming.

Primates and Philosophers:
How Morality Evolved
Frans de Waal
Shopping Cart Reviews Table of Contents
Chapter 1 [HTML] or [PDF format] "It's the animal in us," we often hear when we've been bad. But why not when we're good? Primates and Philosophers tackles this question by exploring the biological foundations of one of humanity's most valued traits: morality. In this provocative book, primatologist Frans de Waal argues that modern-day evolutionary biology takes far too dim a view of the natural world, emphasizing our "selfish" genes. Science has thus exacerbated our reciprocal habits of blaming nature when we act badly and labeling the good things we do as "humane." Seeking the origin of human morality not in evolution but in human culture, science insists that we are moral by choice, not by nature. Citing remarkable evidence based on his extensive research of primate behavior, de Waal attacks "Veneer Theory," which posits morality as a thin overlay on an otherwise nasty nature. He explains how we evolved from a long line of animals that care for the weak and build cooperation with reciprocal transactions. Drawing on both Darwin and recent scientific advances, de Waal demonstrates a strong continuity between human and animal behavior. In the process, he also probes issues such as anthropomorphism and human responsibilities toward animals. Based on the Tanner Lectures de Waal delivered at Princeton University's Center for Human Values in 2004

    Importation of Nonhuman Primates
    Imported monkeys and other nonhuman primates (NHP) are essential for scientific and exhibition use. The health and safety hazards associated with exposure to NHP are well documented. Exposure to imported NHP presents potential infectious disease risks, which may include emerging infectious diseases such as Ebola-Reston, B Virus (Cercopithecine herpesvirus 1), monkeypox, yellow fever, Simian Immunodeficiency Virus, tuberculosis, and other diseases not yet known or identified. Since 1975, the Federal Quarantine Regulations (42CFR71.53) have restricted the importation of NHP. Importers must register with the CDC, implement disease control measures, and may distribute NHP for only bona fide scientific, educational, or exhibition purposes, as defined in the regulations*. Importation of NHP for use as pets is not permitted under any circumstances. These restrictions also apply to the re-importation of NHP originating in the United States.

http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/greatergood/current_issue/Boehm.html
HOME CURRENT ISSUE ARCHIVE SUBSCRIBE ... LINKS Volume IV, Issue 3: Winter 2007-08 Political Primates
Are humans prone to try to dominate or live harmoniously with each other? Christopher Boehm uncovers a seven-million-year-old answer. Recent American politics has been defined by a series of bitter power struggles, in which the Bush administration is accused of overstepping its authority and its critics do their best to curb its power . In such conflicts we can see traces of countless earlier struggles, from the American Revolution to Watergate. Similar struggles for dominance and power take place in countries all over the world, and we even see them crop up in our local communities and family life. Because they seem so universal, we have to consider that these problems might be intertwined with our genetic code, that they're part of our evolutionary history. Indeed, if we are to fully understand why and how these conflicts arise, we must examine what comes naturally to us as a highly political species: Are humans predisposed to live freely, side-by-side as equals? Or are we more likely to form hierarchies where one person or group tries to dominate or subjugate another? This question has generated longstanding philosophical disputes, but we now have enough data to propose some definite answers. Discoveries in the fields of anthropology and primatology suggest that though we may have a deeply rooted instinct to exert power over others, we also have what may be an equally strong aversion to abuses of power, along with some natural tendencies to punish people who commit those abuses.
