A characteristic feature of modern humans is the unusually round skull and brain, in contrast to the elongated shape seen in other human species. By studying Neanderthal DNA fragments found in the genomes of living Europeans, scientists have now discovered genes that influence this globular shape. An interdisciplinary research team, led by the Max Planck Institutes for Psycholinguistics and Evolutionary Anthropology, brought together...

Romain Jalabert, La Poésie et le latin en France au XIXe siècle, Paris, 2017.

Éditeur : Classiques Garnier
Collection : Études romantiques et dix-neuviémistes, n° 77
766 pages
ISBN : 978-2-406-06968-3
79 €

La poésie néo-latine du XIXe siècle prolonge une grande tradition humaniste. Elle reflète l'évolution des formes poétiques, la fortune de l'ode civique et du genre didactique, ou encore l'influence du romantisme lamartinien. Par son ancrage scolaire et social, elle invite à une réflexion sur la poésie en général.

I have such a great appreciation for Neil Carter. Although he is no longer a Christian, he is regularly concerned that neither Christianity in general, nor Jesus, be maligned as a whole for things that are the responsibility of a subset of Christians who can be shown to have departed wholesale from Jesus’ teachings.

Dutch court throws out case of disputed Buddha statue

A dutch dealer bought a lacquer stature in 1995 and it turned out that it had mummified human remains in it which makes it unique (Nick Squires 'Mummified monk revealed inside 1,000-year-old Buddha statue' Telegraph 24 Feb 2015). It then transpired that two villages - Yangchun and Dong Pu in southeastern Fujian province, say that a statue containing the remains of an 11th-century monk was stolen from their shared temple in 1995. They claim it is the one that ended up in the collection of this Dutch art dealer. The dealer denies that the statue he has is the stolen antiquity. Now:
A court in Amsterdam has refused to resolve a legal dispute over ownership [...] The civil court in Amsterdam threw out the case Wednesday, saying in a written ruling that two Chinese village committees seeking ownership of the disputed statue are not legal entities and are therefore ineligible to file a claim. 
Associated Press, 'Dutch court throws out case of disputed Buddha statue' Idaho Statesman Dec 12, 2018.

I think the issue here however is why dealers think they have the right to buy human remains and hang on to them like this. Once again, the ethics of the antiquities trade are in question.

We’re enjoying a bit of a respite from the biting cold of North Dakotaland this week with daytime high temperatures surging to the mid-30s and with the possibility of the upper 30s next week. Ironically, if this were centigrade, it would be about the same temperature that Australia and India are enduring in Perth as the commence the second test of the Australian summer. With the NFL season essentially over and the NBA season playing its way through into the mid-season lull, cricket is king!

With my grading for the semester done, some longer and more leisurely writing projects underway, and my reading schedule for the holidays taking shape, it’s a pleasure to share some quick hits and varia:
