This book examines the possibility and role of a Cahokian diaspora
to understand cultural influence, complexity, historicity, and
movements in the Mississippian Southeast. Collectively the chapters
trace how the movements of Cahokian and American Bottom materials,
substances, persons, and non-human bodies converged in the creation
of Cahokian identities both within and outside of the Cahokia
homeland through archaeological case studies that demonstrate the
ways in which population movements foment social change. Drawing
initial inspiration from theories of diaspora, the book explores
the dynamic movements of human populations by critically engaging
with the ways people materially construct or deconstruct their
social identities in relation to others within the context of
physical movement. This book is of interest to students and
researchers of archaeology, anthropology, sociology of migration
and diaspora studies. Previously published in Journal of
Archaeological Method and Theory Volume 27, issue 1, March 2020
Neanderthals in the Classroom examines the ongoing battle
surrounding evolution from a cultural and historical perspective
and then puts Theodosius Dobzhansky's claim that "nothing in
biology makes sense except in the light of evolution" to the
ultimate test by exploring the potential evolutionary roots of this
societal and educational clash over human origins. In examining the
biological roots of the conflict, Watts demonstrates how
understanding our inner Neanderthal allows us to consciously choose
more highly evolved forms of communication as a means of
alleviating societal division and creating space for more effective
science education. Key Features: Introduces readers to the
multifaceted world of evolution education. Describes the complex
interplay between religious beliefs and science as well as the
clash of false information and formal education. Offers an overview
of the transformation of public opinion of evolution and science
over time in the United States due to the perceived conflict
between science and religion. Examines students' misconceptions
about the theory of evolution and the general nature of scientific
discovery due to the contradictory messages that they receive in
popular culture. Offers potential means to amend misconceptions so
that students and other individuals can integrate evolutionary
theory into their worldviews, regardless of their religious
background.
