"Presently, I work in the Hadar Formation as a member of a team organized by the Institute of Human Origins, Arizona State University. As one of the project's senior paleontologists, I lead the general paleontological surface survey. The aims of this survey are to document in which sediments and geographical locations fossils occur and to recover those of scientific importance. My crew and I now work in sediments generally geologically younger than those explored during the 1970s. In the Department of Anthropology, I serve as Coordinator of the Biocultural Anthropology Program." Selected Publications: Bobe, R. and G. G.

I am currently conducting research in both the Great Basin of the western United States and in France . In the Basin I am studying deep, stratified sequences of small mammals from Homestead Cave Utah , in order to address issues concerning both mammalian biogeographic history and the nature of Great Basin environments during the past 12,000 years. In France , I am analyzing a series of Middle and Upper Paleolithic faunas from cave sites in order to better understand relationships between climatic change and human foraging strategies through time."

Extractions: CHAPTER 5: Inheriting a Legacy of Domination: The Postcolonial Period The Preservation of "North/South" Dependency Jarrett (1996) begins this process of deconstruction by arguing that the destructive impacts of African "neo-colonialism" (an apt title referring to the continuing exploitation and domination of African human and natural resources during the postcolonial period) involve a number of "key participants in the exploitation of Africa's economy" (82), the most important of which are: the indigenous political and administrative officials and elites of Kenya and Tanzania; and the corporate and capitalist interests of developed nations, represented by the continuing involvement of the World Bank, the IMF, and "Northern" interests on a governmental level within the context of the East African geography. The importance of each of these actors within the context of postcolonial power dynamics, conservation and development issues, and the reproduction of extractive and oppressive capitalist interests in East Africa and in the context of the "global economy," are considered below.

Kenya -- Ethnic Groups El Molo who live on the shore of Lake turkana. The principal nonindigenous ethnicminorities are the Arabs the majority of the Bantu speaking peoples of Kenya http://www.sas.upenn.edu/African_Studies/NEH/k-ethn.html
Extractions: The Kikuyu, Meru, Gusii, Embu, Akamba, Luyha (or alternate spelling of Luyia), Swahili and Mijikenka (which in fact is a group of different ethnic groups) constitute the majority of the Bantu speaking peoples of Kenya. In general, the Bantu have been farmers. The Kikuyu (or Gikuyu) homeland is around Mount Kenya and it is believed they migrated into the area from East and North East Africa around the 16th century. They were neighbors of the Maasai and although there were raids for cattle between them, there was also a lot of trade and intermarriage. The Kikuyu god, Ngai, resides on Mt. Kenya which they call Kirinyaga . As with other ethnic groups, the traditional healer was held in high esteem. For the Kikuyu, land ownership is the most important social, political, religious, and economic factor. They have a complex system of land ownership that revolves around close kin, The importance of land brought them into conflict with the colonial government when white settlers and farmers occupied their traditional lands. Today, Kikuyu farmers produce most of the fresh produce that is consumed in Nairobi as well as coffee and tea for export. Many Kikuyu have also been successful in economic and commercial endeavors. Traditionally, the Kikuyu were governed by a council of elders based on clans. The Akamba The Luyha's traditional homeland is around Kakamega in western Kenya. They are Kenya's third largest ethnic group after the Kikuyu and the Luo. The Luyha suffer from high population density which effects their farming economy as cultivation occurs on plots that get smaller with each generation. They are important producers of sugar-cane.

Extractions: to Translation as Engagement Introduction At its World Assembly in Midrand, South Africa, in October 2000, the global fellowship of the United Bible Societies established directions for its ministry in the new millennium. In part, these were a reaffirmation of goals that had been established at the previous World Assembly in Mississauga, Canada, in 1996; in part, they were new directions that would guide the Fellowship into the future. The Directions from Midrand The goal of inviting people to engage with the Scriptures and the effort to serve all the churches was the hallmark of the UBS translation program in 2001. A task team established through the UBS World Service Center offered this definition of Scripture engagement: Scripture engagement is a concept that emphasises making the Scriptures discoverable, accessible, and relevant, that is: making the Bible recoverable and discoverable as sacred Scripture

The largest lakes are Victoria (the world's second largest freshwater lake), Tanganyika, Albert, Turkana, and Nyasa (or Malawi), all in E Africa; shallow Lake Chad, the largest in W Africa, shrinks considerably during dry periods. The lakes and major rivers (most of which are navigable in stretches above the escarpment of the plateau) form an important inland transportation system.

Extractions: by Keith Snedegar, Political Science and History Dept., Utah Valley State College There is no more deeply primeval experience than to gaze overhead at the Milky Way arching from horizon to horizon on a pitch-dark African night. And with good reason: our species originated in Africa; it was from there that our ancestors first looked up and pondered the mysteries of the cosmos. It should strike everyone as odd, then, that cultural astronomers have paid relatively little attention to Africa. The eve of a new millennium is an appropriate time to revisit, or for many of us to contemplate for the first time, the astronomical heritage of humanity's home continent before it is too late. Another well-known megalithic site, Namoratunga II, near Lake Turkana in Kenya may well have aided calendrical observations around 300 B.C. (Lynch and Robbins 1978). Unfortunately, in recent years no other Sub-Saharan monuments have been surveyed for their archaeoastronomical potential. Numerous sites merit such investigation: the Senegambian stone circles, the Central African Republic's Bouar megaliths, and ruins in the Great Zimbabwe tradition. With the prospect of discovery we should no doubt expect many negative results. I am personally skeptical that any alignments could be found in the irregular architecture of the Zimbabwe sites. At all events, someone should look for them. If only there were more copy cats of Lynch, Robbins and Malville than of high-school shootists!

Reports from the ground indicate that killing went on at possibly even a more intense level from 1992. In Cuito alone, there are supposed to have been about 25,000 killed. During the Ford administration, in the 70s, Congress ordered the CIA to halt its support for the war against the Angolan government. However, CIA efforts continued under the rubrik of information gathering. Argentina and Chile in dispute over Channel Islands Armenia - Azerbaijan An undeclared war which began in 1988 prompted an exodus that has reduced Armenia's population of 3.5 million by 20 to 30 percent (Steve LeVine, NYT, 24 Oct. '95). The war began when majority ethnic Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh declared a desire to unite with Armenia. A cease fire was agreed in May 1994. The war has cost Azerbaijan (mid-1993 population: 7.2 million) about a fifth of its territory. The prewar population of Nagorno-Karabakh was 200,000. Belgium Municipality of Voeren against Flanders.

Extractions: Status Location : The Mukogodo live in the Mukogodo Forest of west central Kenya. They were originally an Eastern Cushite group, predating the Nilotes and Bantu in this area. There are no remaining speakers of the original language, called Yaaku. History : The Mukogodo represent a second wave of Cushite immigration into the Rift Valley area of East Africa. The earlier Southern Cushites were the first settlers we know of following the indigenous San (Bushmen). The San were here first before the time of Christ. Then came the Southern Cushites in the first millennium AD, then Eastern Cushites, followed by the Highland Nilotes (Kalenjin Cluster), then the early Bantu. Later came intermingled waves of Plains Nilotes (Maasai-Teso-Karamojong-Turkana), later Bantu (Logoli-Kuria-Ganda, etc.) and River-Lake Nilotes (Luo and related Uganda peoples still stretching up into the Waa River marshes in Sudan). Identity : Various old Cushite groups in the Rift Valley of Kenya and Tanzania have become affiliated with various Nilotic tribes as clients, mostly as a self-defense for their own preservation under the various waves of Nilotic migration into their ancestral area.

Extractions: James Ayers' art reflects the emotional connections he has made with the indigenous peoples he has spent time with as well as his own need to know more about his own roots. These connections have enabled him to develop many visual images inspired by experience, exploration and observation of the different lands and people. These images have been enriched by James' personal ties to and admiration for the indigenous people of the world. James graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1991. He spent time traveling on foot with the semi-nomadic Samburu and Turkana people in Africa's Great Rift Valley, and lived with the Hopi people of North Americas Great Southwest. These experiences have given him empathy with the struggle of indigenous people to survive in the modern world and an artist's appreciation for the beauty of form, pattern, and embellishment of these cultures. His paintings can be found in collections throughout the United States. James' primary medium is oil on canvas. James finds that oil paint is an ideal medium for capturing the depth, drama and spirit of the subject matter he paints.

Extractions: AFRICA LOCAL STRUGGLES AND NEWS - Ghana: "Promissory" reforestation plans end up in unemployment Burdened by a mounting foreign debt and pushed by globalisation and trade liberalisation, Ghana, as many other West African countries, has had its ability to finance domestic public spending severely constrained. In addition most of the exports of African countries suffer decline in prices leading to overall poor returns in revenue and contributing to huge budget deficits. In a desperate bid to service debt and face their deficit, many countries in Africa including Ghana have been relying on the aggressive extraction of primary resources and not only plunder forest resources but also neglect budgeting for sustainable forest management practices.
