Extractions: skip to main skip to sidebar This is a sounding board and open forum run by a secular humanist and a nihilist pretending to be a secular humanist. The primary focus is on the pursuit of meaning, the observation of the absurd, and most importantly of all- comedy. 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). And here is what an editorial at Boston.Com has to say: 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.

Extractions: 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).

"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:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23455662/

Extractions: 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.

De Waal, F.; Macedo, S. And Ober, J., Eds.: Primates And Philosophers: How Moral
of the book primates and Philosophers How Morality Evolved by de Waal, F.; Macedo, S. and Ober, J., eds., published by Princeton University
http://press.princeton.edu/titles/8240.html

Extractions: 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

Search: DGMQ Home Importation of Pets, Other Animals, and Animal Products into the United States 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. Foreign Quarantine Regulations Relating to NHP Other Federal, State, and Local authorities have regulations that apply to NHP.

http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/greatergood/current_issue/Boehm.html

Extractions: 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.
