Podcasts about mbuti

I'm tied up today, so I've decided to re-share one of my absolute favourite TYP chats. *Here's the original synopsis.. In seven years of podcasting and twenty years of radio, this conversation is in my all-time top ten. Justin Wren is a both a cage fighter and freedom fighter, who has fought on the world-stage in the UFC and in the jungles of the Congo, championing the cause of one of the most marginalised groups of people in thew world; the Mbuti Pygmies. Justin's personal story (as an elite athlete battling all kinds of problems) and the story of his mission and purpose to liberate, empower and love the Mbuti, is both inspiring and confronting. Enjoy. *Warning: parts of this conversation might be confronting for some.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

La République démocratique du Congo est le seul pays au monde à abriter l'okapi. L'animal, mi-girafe mi-zèbre, rare et timide, est une espèce en danger menacée par les activités humaines illégales. Les Congolais ont sûrement vu plus d'okapis sur leurs billets de banque que dans la forêt. L'animal est si rare et si discret que ceux qui ont pu le croiser dans les forêts tropicales d'Ituri, dans le nord-est du pays, où l'espèce est endémique, sont des privilégiés. « Je suis chanceux, reconnaît Berce N'Safuansa, qui gère le projet okapi de l'ONG Wildlife Conservation Global au sein de la Réserve de faune à okapis, créée en 1992 et inscrite au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco cinq ans plus tard. C'est fantastique, vous ne pouvez pas imaginer l'enthousiasme qu'on a d'être en face d'un okapi ! »Et pour cause ! Avec sa tête de girafe (il est, avec la girafe, l'une des deux seules espèces encore vivantes de la famille des giraffidés), son corps d'antilope, les pattes avant et l'arrière-train rayés noir et blanc comme un zèbre, et son coup de langue phénoménal (40 centimètres de long), l'okapi est un animal plein de mystères, quasi mythique, surnommé parfois la licorne africaine.Unique, rare et irremplaçableUnique au Congo-Kinshasa, mondonga (okapi en lingala) n'a été découvert par un explorateur européen qu'à la toute fin du 19ᵉ siècle. En 1901, il est scientifiquement nommé Okapia johnstoni. Il s'agit d'un des trois derniers mammifères recensés dans le monde. Mais depuis bien longtemps, l'okapi était connu des populations locales. « Ici, nous avons par exemple la communauté locale des Mbuti, les Pygmées : pour elle, l'okapi représente un ami de leurs ancêtres. C'est donc un animal qu'il faut protéger, qu'il ne faut pas tuer pour sa viande ou pour un quelconque besoin », explique Berce N'Safuansa.L'okapi tient une place à part parmi la riche faune qu'abrite le Congo-Kinshasa. « C'est un animal d'une importance capitale, poursuit Berce N'Safuansa, à cause de la valeur exceptionnelle et universelle qu'il représente : une espèce unique, rare, irremplaçable, qui ne vit à l'état sauvage qu'en République démocratique du Congo. »Braconniers et miliciensSi rare que l'espèce est menacée : en danger, selon la liste rouge de l'Union internationale pour la conservation de la nature (UICN).« Dans un avenir proche, prédit Berce N'Safuansa, cette espèce se retrouvera dans la catégorie probablement la plus élevée, le risque d'extinction, avec des effectifs en baisse. »Les principaux prédateurs de l'okapi ? Les léopards et les humains. L'habitat naturel du ruminant est chaque jour menacé par les activités humaines illégales. Berce N'Safuansa pointe « les braconnages armés, en quête de la peau de l'okapi, de sa viande, de sa graisse, de ses os, tellement recherchés aujourd'hui sur le marché noir. À cela, il faut ajouter la perte des habitats naturels ainsi que la présence de groupes de milices et de mineurs illégaux dans et autour de la réserve. »Les milices armées qui sévissent dans la région n'épargnent personne, ni les okapis ni les humains. Il n'existe pas de recensements récent et scientifique de la population d'okapis, compte tenu des difficultés du terrain et de la grande discrétion de cet animal solitaire. On estime seulement qu'il ne reste, à l'état naturel, que plusieurs milliers d'okapis.

En 1950, un médecin suisse, Boris Ade, a pour des raisons de recherche, procédé à l'exhumation de 7 corps des membres de la communauté Mbuti et emmené les dépouilles en Europe. La communauté de ces Pygmées vit toujours dans le territoire de Wamba, à l'est de la RDC. 60 ans après, ces squelettes sont encore conservés au laboratoire de l'université de Genève, même si un accord de cession a été signé avec l'université de Lubumbashi en RDC. Faut-il faire revenir les corps, comment organiser le retour ? Des artistes du Groupe 50-50 veulent faire bouger les lignes à travers un spectacle intitulé, le Retour des Fantômes. 

The Soulful Giant (ft. Justin Wren)Fighter-turned-lover Justin Wren on what it means to fight for a greater purposeOPENING QUOTE:“And so now, whenever I've gotten into a fight and the cage door locks, I'm looking this guy in the eyes and I know that I know, but I also believe that I know he knows, that I have stronger reasons than he does, so I can take him to deeper waters.”-Justin WrenGUEST BIO:Justin Wren knows what it's like to feel like the world is against you. Fueled by anger resulting from persistent bullying, Justin pursued wrestling in high school, where he became a 10x state champion, 5x all-American, and 2x national champion. This propelled his dream of becoming a UFC fighter into reality, becoming a champion and an elite athlete. But the pain from his childhood didn't dissipate, and Justin fell into a spiral of depression and addiction that led him on a path toward destruction. In trying to escape this spiral, Justin visited the rainforest in the Democratic Republic of the Congo where he came across the Mbuti Pygmies, a group of people persecuted by neighboring tribes and forced into slavery.On one of his trips, he stayed for a year, living among them and sharing the culture of what he calls "the most bullied people on earth." His encounter with the pygmies left him wondering who was there to help them. And in that moment, Justin stepped out of the cage and founded the nonprofit organization Fight for the Forgotten. He's become a celebrated keynote speaker, ascending this new mountain with the same discipline and passion that got him to the top of professional sports. Links:WebsiteInstagramTwitterCORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[4:36] - Discover Others to Discover YourselfSelflessness heals our own woundsAfter a long period of depression and hopelessness, how did Justin pull himself out of it? Not by working on himself — but by discovering the service of others. It was when he lost himself in the trials of the Mbuti people that he discovered his own purpose, passion, and personal joy. The lesson for us: if you feel lost, sometimes you're better off looking for the needs of others than looking for yourself.[12:58] - The Winner is the One with the Most Reasons to FightWhat Justin's mindset in the ring teaches us about living outside the ringMany people think that the stronger, better trained fighter is the one who wins. What Justin knows from being in the ring himself is that this isn't always the case. The person who wins is often the one who is less willing to lose. Or, to put it another way, it's the person with the deepest reason to win.When you discover a reason to fight that's deeper than the opponent — and in life, often the opponent isn't a someone but a something — then you'll discover a depth of fortitude you didn't know you had, and a will to win that will help you conquer anything.[16:03] - Change the Fight but Keep FightingWhat we can learn from the world's most loving fighterJustin describes how he went from fighting against people to fighting for people when he discovered his passion for serving the people of the Mbuti culture. But what's worth noting is that Justin didn't change his fighter's spirit. He didn't suddenly become a kumbaya, zen-loving individual who let the world wash over him in peace. Hell no. He kept his fighter's spirit, remained who he was, but applied everything that made him a great fighter to this new fight — the fight for humanity. We can all change our own personal fights without changing what makes us great fighters.[30:46] - Justin's Parting AdviceFor the new, nervous, and unsureJustin acknowledges that taking on big challenges often feels like trying to drain the ocean with an eyedropper. Does it even matter? Will anyon even notice? But Justin reminds us that every drop represents a human heart, a human life, some level of impact that may be small in the grand scale but enormous on the personal scale. Every single positive impact we make, whether it's on a massive keynote stage or in a room of ten people, can transform lives.RESOURCES:[2:10] About the Mbuti People[2:49] Fight for the ForgottenFollow Justin Wren:WebsiteInstagramTwitterFollow Josh Linkner:FacebookLinkedInInstagramTwitterYouTubeABOUT MIC DROP:Hear from the world's top thought leaders and experts, sharing tipping point moments, strategies, and approaches that led to their speaking career success.

Es war ein schweres Erbe, was das Kunstmuseum Bern 2014 antrat: 1600 Werke aus dem Gurlitt-Nachlass. Man vermutete einen «Nazi-Schatz». Bern prüfte die Herkünfte und zieht nun Bilanz. Klar ist: Gurlitt war ein Paradigmenwechsel für die Schweizer Museen. Was Gurlitt für die Schweiz bedeutet Als Cornelius Gurlitt dem Kunstmuseum Bern 1600 Kunstwerke vermachte, war die mediale Aufmerksamkeit gross. Immerhin galt das Erbe als Raubkunst und Fluchtgut kontaminiert. Jetzt nach acht Jahren Provenienz-Forschung zieht das Kunstmuseum Bern Bilanz: ein «Nazi-Schatz» war die Gurlitt-Sammlung nicht. Und: bei 1000 Werken lässt sich die Provenienz nicht lückenlos ermitteln, zu lange ist alles her, zu viel Archiv zerstört oder unzugänglich. Aber Gurlitt war auch ein Paradigmenwechsel für die Schweizer Museen: niemand kann es sich mehr leisten, Provenienzen oder Unklarheiten zu ignorieren. Wie Basel seine Geschichte aufarbeitet 1939 legte das Kunstmuseum Basel den Grundstein für seine Sammlung der Klassischen Moderne. Der damalige Direktor, Georg Schmidt, kaufte für 50'000 Franken 21 Bilder von Chagall, Kokoschka oder Franz Marc. Heute unbezahlbare Meisterwerke, die die Nazis als «entartete Kunst» diffamierten, aus Museen entfernten und ins Ausland verkauften. Inwiefern rettete Basel diese Gemälde vor der Zerstörung, oder profitierte es letztlich von moderaten Preisen? Das beleuchtet ab 22. Oktober die Ausstellung «Zerrissene Moderne». Warum schweizweit (noch) keine Benin-Objekte zurückgegeben werden Es war ein historischer Augenblick als der deutsche Staat Anfang Juli endlich das Abkommen über die Rückgabe der Benin-Bronzen unterzeichnete. 1100 dieser Objekte, die sich in deutschen Museen befinden, werden offiziell Nigeria zurückgegeben. In Grossbritannien wiederum, dem Land, dass Tausende der wertvollen Kunstschätze 1897 aus Benin raubte, gestaltet sich die Rückgabe schwieriger. Und wie sieht es in der Schweiz aus? Immerhin gibt es auch hierzulande 100 Benin-Objekte, 20 davon im Museum Rietberg in Zürich. Werden diese nun auch (endlich) zurückgegeben? Warum sieben Skelette die Universität Genf beschäftigen Die Gebeine von sieben Menschen sind seit beinahe 70 Jahren im anthropologischen Institut der Universität Genf aufbewahrt, schön angeordnet in Schachteln. Sie stammen aus dem Nordosten des Kongo, vom Stamm der Mbuti. Boris Adé, ein Genfer Arzt, liess sie in den 50er-Jahren exhumieren und braucht sie für Forschungen nach Genf. Sie sind noch heute in Genf, wenn auch im Besitz der Universität Lubumbashi im Südkongo. Die Nachfahren möchten nun die sterblichen Überreste zurück. Sie werden dabei vom Kollektiv Group 50:50 unterstützt, das diese Geschichte in einem Musiktheater thematisiert hat.

Ini adalah kisah sedih yang dialami Ota Benga. Anggota suku Mbuti dari Afrika, yang dibawa ke Amerika Serikat melalui janji-janji perbaikan nasib. Kenyataannya, ia dijadikan bahan tontonan, dalam kebun binatang manusia. Problemnya, Ota Benga bukan satu-satunya. Bagaimana praktik sekejam ini bisa terjadi?

Award-winning author, queer visionary, and Val's wife Carmen Maria Machado reads us fascinating old-timey articles she found while searching for answer to a seemingly simple question: when was the first tiger brought to America? On this long and winding road, we learn about a very old tiger named Jim, two historical badass 70-year-olds in a fight with a big cat, menagerie hippos with very Irish names, and the “panda-monium” of Washington D.C. in 2004. I promise Tiger King is only referenced once. SHOW NOTES: Tigers are known to live roughly 8-10 years in the wild. They can live up to 25 years in captivity because of the lack of natural predators. So Jim the Tiger was indeed very old. (Source: KidsFeed.com) Here is Carmen's twitter thread about the tiger: https://twitter.com/carmenmmachado/status/1404089399453831172 Titles of articles Carmen read aloud during this episode: “Fight with an American Tiger,” January 29th, 1853. Found via the New York Times Article Archive. “A Dying Bengal Tiger,” December 28, 1885. Found via the New York Times Article Archive. “Jim the Tiger Dies of Old Age,” January 15, 1886. Found via the New York Times Article Archive. “Boy Killed by Tiger: Lion Cub Keeper in Indianapolis Absentmindedly Enters the Wrong Cage,” February 16th, 1901. Found via the New York Times Article Archive. “A Baby Hippopotamus: Mr. and Mrs. Caliph Murphy Are to Be Congratulated,” December 3, 1889. Found via the New York Times Article Archive. The baby hippopotamus turned out to be male and was named McGinty, but he died seven days after his birth of pneumonia. (Source: New York Times Article Archive.) Fatima and Caliph did breed several more times and Fatima bore about ten offspring total, though not all survived. You can find an article on the old Central Park menagerie and the controversy over its practice of giving its animals Irish names on a blog called The Hatching Cat: True and Unusual Animal Tales of Old New York. Book recommendation from both Val and Carmen: We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves by Karen Joy Fowler Dad's infographic on zoos was originally printed on the website Treehugger. PETA & racism: I didn't do a deep dive, but I found an article on USA Today called “PETA ridiculed, criticized for comparing 'speciesism' with racism, homophobia and ableism” and an article on CivilEats called “Is the Vegan Movement Ready to Reckon with Racism?” There is an article in Mental Floss about the young black man held captive in the Bronx zoo in 1906. His name was Ota Benga, and he was a member of the Mbuti pygmy tribe from what was then known as the Congo Free State. We can't tell you about Carmen's story yet, but I will upload this note once she is able to announce it! Stay tuned.

There are five key pillars to creating the conditions for adaptability: sleep, exercise, mental resilience, nutrition, and community/relationships.” Dr Erik Korem   “I maybe have a different concept on leadership. To me, leading is a verb. If you're leading, you're a leader. If you're swimming you're a swimmer, if you're driving you're a driver. If you're leading you're by definition a leader. I define leading as being looked to in a particular moment to make a decision or perform an action based on your unique gifts and abilities. So by that definition, everybody is a leader. All rank and role really describe is how many people are hoping you get it right when it's your turn to wear the weight.” - Clint Bruce   John Danaher on high performance mindset and resilience:  “Whenever you are sparring, your mind will have a given direction of focus.

On the spacecraft Voyager, hurtling through deep space sits a golden record, filled with the music of planet earth. It is a cultural gift for unknown extraterrestrial life forms. If an alien species discovers this unique double LP, they'll be greeted by the singing of the Mbuti people of the Congo recorded by the anthropologist Colin Turnbull. Matthew Syed examines Turnbull's seemingly utopian experiences in the forest with the Mbuti and contrasts them with his utterly bleak account of the Ik people of Uganda. The Ik were, according to Turnbull, a "loveless" people devoid of culture, brutal and totally uncaring. He labelled them "the most selfish people on earth". Turnbull argued that the Ik offered a stark warning to westerners. This allegedly nightmarish society was, according to Turnbull, the way the west was headed. Matthew hears from Turnbull's critics who say he misunderstood the Ik and uses Turnbull's work to ask a profound question - is mankind fundamentally rotten and selfish at the core, or do kindness and compassion lie at the beating heart of human society?

Hello 通勤家族，歡迎收聽Look Back Sunday回顧星期天，在這個節目John老師會彙整過去不同國家與主題的熱門跟讀文章，讓你可以在十五分鐘內吸收最精華的世界時事趣聞！我們這週聽聽非洲的趣聞，Let's get right to it!   Topic: Are African Artifacts Safer in Europe? 非洲文物在歐洲更安全？   Is Africa's cultural heritage better off in Europe or in Africa?非洲的文化遺產存放在歐洲或非洲，何者比較好呢？   That is the question at the heart of a yearslong debate that has gripped museums in Europe, where many officials say they support the idea of repatriating artifacts, but worry that African museums cannot compare to state-of-the-art facilities in Britain, France or Germany.這正是歐洲博物館界討論多年的問題的核心，許多歐洲博物館的管理階層表示，他們贊成應把文物送回非洲的想法，卻又擔心非洲各地博物館不具備英、法或德國那些先進博物館的的條件。   That debate has been given new life in recent months after an investigation by the Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper found that many of the artifacts that will be on display in the Humboldt Forum, a huge new museum under construction in a rebuilt Berlin palace, had for years been stored in less-than-ideal conditions. The report featured searing depictions of flooded storage rooms and depots choked with toxic dust.最近幾個月，這場討論再度熱絡起來，因為南德意志報調查後發現，預定在「洪堡論壇」展出的文物之中，許多已存放在不盡理想的環境下多年。洪堡論壇是興建中規模宏大的新博物館，將位在柏林一座重建的宮殿內。這篇報導對那些文物的存放室淹水，庫房覆滿有毒灰塵，作了特別尖刻地描述。   The Humboldt Forum will bring together the collections of several existing museums in the city under one roof, but reports in German news media have focused on the storage facilities of the Ethnological Museum of Berlin, which will be the Forum's largest single contributor.洪堡論壇將把柏林幾座現有博物館的藏品集中在一起，不過德國新聞媒體的報導著重在柏林民族學博物館的庫房。這座博物館將是洪堡論壇展品的最大提供者。   Officials at the museum, which closed to the public in 2017 to prepare for the move to its new home, have responded with what observers call an unusual degree of openness.民族學博物館2017年起停止對外開放，好準備搬新家。館方回應外界質疑的態度十分開放透明，開放程度之高觀察家以異乎尋常形容。   They have denied some of the reports, in particular the claim of flooded storerooms, but said their depots were beset with problems common to museums across Germany. Those included outdated facilities, a lack of staff members, and a sense of disarray that dates to moments of crisis in German history.館方否認報導中的某些部分，尤其是庫房淹水，不過他們說，倉庫發生的問題在德國各地博物館都很常見，包括設施陳舊、人手不足和擺放方式雜亂，這些問題從德國歷史上那些動盪時期以來就一直存在。   Despite all that, they steadfastly rejected that those conditions might call into question their stewardship of the artifacts, many of which were collected during the era of European imperialism.雖然倉庫有這些問題，但館方堅決否認這些問題意味著管理不善。倉庫內許多文物是在歐洲帝國主義時期收集而來。   Sindika Dokolo, a Congolese art collector who runs a foundation that has organized the return of artifacts to Congo and Angola, said it was true that “a whole generation” of museum professionals, like curators and conservationists, needed to be trained “in most of the African countries.” But while that new generation was being trained, he said, it is European museums' responsibility to make sure African audiences had access to the artifacts in their possession.剛果藝品收藏家多克洛管理一個基金會，在這個基金會安排下已有一些文物送回剛果和安哥拉。多克洛說，「多數非洲國家」的確有必要訓練「一整個世代的」博物館專業人員，如策展人和文物修復師。不過他說，在非洲訓練這個新世代的同時，歐洲博物館有責任確保非洲的文物愛好者能看到歐洲握有的非洲文物。   It is up to them to create the conditions that would let African artifacts "play their role where they need to be right now, in Africa," he added.多克洛說，歐洲博物館有責任創造條件，讓非洲文物「在非洲當下需要的地方發揮作用」。 Source article: https://paper.udn.com/udnpaper/POH0067/345221/web/   Next Article   Topic: Neanderthal genes found for first time in African populations   African populations have been revealed to share Neanderthal ancestry for the first time, in findings that add a new twist to the tale of ancient humans and our closest known relatives.非洲的人類族群首度被科學家揭露帶有尼安德塔人的血統。這項發現為古代人類和尼安德塔人──與我們血緣最相近的親戚物種──之間的故事，帶來新的轉折。   Previously it was believed that only non-African populations carried Neanderthal genes due to interbreeding that took place after a major human migration out of Africa and across the globe about 60,000 years ago. The latest findings suggest human and Neanderthal lineages are more closely intertwined than once thought and point to far earlier interbreeding events, about 200,000 years ago.前，學界普遍認為只有非洲以外的族群帶有尼安德塔人的基因，這是因為人類大約在六萬年前發生過一次大型的「源出非洲」遷徙，散播到全球各地，而後與尼安德塔人異種交配。最新的研究結果顯示，人類和尼安德塔人的譜系比科學家先前認為的還要緊密相繫，並且指向更早以前──大約在二十萬年前──就出現過異種交配。   “Our results show this history was much more interesting and there were many waves of dispersal out of Africa, some of which led to admixture between modern humans and Neanderthals that we see in the genomes of all living individuals today,” said Joshua Akey, an evolutionary biologist at Princeton University and senior author of the research.普林斯頓大學的演化生物學家、也是該篇研究的資深作者約書亞‧阿奇表示：「我們研究的結果顯示，這段歷史其實更為有趣。其實歷史上曾經發生過好幾波源出非洲的向外擴散，其中幾次造成現代人類與尼安德塔人混血，也就是我們今日在所有現代人類個體的基因組中所看到的現象。」   The study suggests living Europeans and Asians carry about 1 percent Neanderthal DNA, compared with on average 0.3 percent for those of African ancestry. Akey and colleagues believe that this Neanderthal DNA arrived in Africa with ancient Europeans whose ancestors — over many generations — had left Africa, met and mated with Neanderthals and then returned to Africa and mixed with local populations.這份研究指出，相較於祖先來自非洲的現代人，身上平均帶有百分之零點三的尼安德塔DNA，現代歐洲人和亞洲人則帶有百分之一的尼安德塔DNA。阿奇和他的同事認為，這個尼安德塔DNA和古老的歐洲人一起抵達非洲，而這些歐洲人的祖先──在好幾個世代以前──從非洲離開，遇到尼安德塔人，並與他們交配，然後回到非洲，再與當地人口混血。   “An important aspect of our study is that it highlights humans, and hominins, were moving in and out of Africa for hundreds of thousands of years and occasionally admixing,” said Akey. “These back-to-Africa migrations, largely from ancestors of contemporary Europeans, carried Neanderthal sequences with them, and through admixture, contributed to the Neanderthal ancestry we detect in African individuals today.”阿奇指出：「我們的研究其中一項重要的層面在於，它點出人類，以及其他古代人類亞族，在數十萬年間不斷地移入移出非洲，並且偶爾發生混血的情形。」他補充說：「這些回到非洲的移民，主要來自於當代歐洲人的祖先，他們身上帶有尼安德塔人的基因序列，並且經由混血，導致我們今日在非洲人身上探測到的尼安德塔血統。」   The increasingly fine-grained details of our ancestors' migration patterns and intimate encounters with other types of human are coming into focus thanks to the advent of sophisticated computational genetics techniques. These statistical methods allow scientists to line up the Neanderthal genome side by side with that of ancient modern humans and DNA from different living populations and figure out whether the different lineages have been steadily diverging or whether there are blips where large chunks of DNA were exchanged at certain time points.多虧了精密電腦計算基因學技術的來臨，關於我們祖先的遷徙模式，以及與其他人種的親密接觸，愈來愈細緻的細節逐漸變得清晰。這些統計學方法讓科學家能夠將尼安德塔人和古現代人的基因組並列，進行對比，也能夠對照今日不同人類族群的DNA，判斷這些相異的譜系是否一直持續產生分歧，又或者是否有跡象顯示某些時間點曾經出現大塊的DNA交換。   The latest comparison highlights previously unnoticed ancient human genes in the Neanderthal genome, apparently acquired from interbreeding events dating to about 200,000 years ago. This suggests an early group of humans travelled from Africa to Europe or Asia, where they encountered Neanderthal populations and left a faint imprint on their genome that could still be detected more than 100,000 years later.最新的基因組對比，凸顯出先前不曾被注意到的古人類基因存在於尼安德塔人的基因組中，明顯來自於距今約二十萬年的雜交事件。這項發現顯示，曾有早期人類族群從非洲前往歐洲或亞洲，在當地遇到尼安德塔人族群，並在後者基因組中留下淺淺的印記，在超過十萬年後的今天仍然可以探測得到。   The paper also highlights the relative lack of genetics research in African populations, despite modern humans having first emerged on the continent and despite African populations today being more diverse genetically than the inhabitants of the rest of the world combined. “To more fully understand human genomic variation and human evolutionary history, it is imperative to comprehensively sample individuals from all regions of the world, and Africa remains one of the most understudied regions,” said Akey.該篇論文也點出，儘管現代人類最初發源於非洲大陸，而且今日非洲人類族群的遺傳多樣性遠高於世界其他地區居民的總和，目前學界對於當地族群的基因研究仍顯得相對缺乏。阿奇指出：「如果要更全盤了解人類基因組的變異，以及人類演化的歷史，廣泛對世界各地區的人類個體進行採樣是絕對必要的，而非洲目前仍然是研究最為不足的地區之一。」   It is not known whether all African populations, some of whose roots stretch into the deep past, share this Neanderthal heritage. KhoeSan (bushmen) and Mbuti (central African pygmy) populations, for instance, appear to have split off from other groups more than 100,000 years ago. The findings are published in the journal Cell.目前仍不清楚是否所有非洲族群──其中有些族群的根源延續自遙遠的過去──共同擁有這項「尼安德塔遺產」。舉例而言，非洲的「科伊桑族」（亦稱布須曼人）以及「姆巴提人」（非洲中部的一支矮黑人），似乎在超過十萬年前就已經和其他人類族群在演化上分道揚鑣了。該篇研究刊登於期刊《細胞》上。   Source article: http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang/archives/2020/02/16/2003731045/2   Next Article   Topic: About Africa - Mysterious Mineral from Earth's Mantle Discovered in South African Diamond   A single grain of rock lodged in a diamond contains a never-before-found mineral. And that newfound substance could reveal unusual chemical reactions unfolding in the depths of the mantle, the layer of Earth that lies between the planet's crust and outer core. The entire mantle is about 1,802 miles (2,900 km) thick.包裹在一塊鑽石內的小晶粒，含有一種此前從未在鑽石內發現的礦物。這項新發現有望揭示地函深處發生的不尋常化學反應，地球地函位在行星地殼與外地核之間。地球地函的總厚度約1802英里（2900公里）。   Scientists unearthed the mineral from a volcanic site in South Africa known as the Koffiefontein pipe. Shining diamonds speckle the dark, igneous rock that lines the pipe, and the diamonds themselves contain tiny bits of other minerals from hundreds of miles beneath Earth's surface. Within one of these sparkling stones, scientists found a dark green, opaque mineral that they estimated was forged about 105 miles (170 kilometers) underground.科學家從南非一處名為「科菲芬丹火山管」的火山區挖出這種礦物。閃閃發亮的鑽石散布在火山管內暗色的火成岩之中，鑽石本身則含有其他來自地表下數百英里的微小礦物。在其中一塊閃亮的石頭內，科學家發現一種暗綠色、不透明的礦物，他們估計這種礦物生成在地底下105英里（170公里）處。   Scientists noted that, for a mantle mineral, goldschmidtite has a peculiar chemical composition.科學家指出，對地函礦物而言，「針銀碲金礦」具有獨特的化學組成。   Next Article:   Topic: Kenyans rush to swap banknotes as cash ban looms 鈔票禁令在即，肯亞人搶著換鈔   A man walked into a Nairobi car yard and paid for a luxury Mercedes with a mountain of 1,000 shilling ($9 euros) banknotes, desperate to offload cash that would be worthless after September 30.一名男子走進奈洛比市一家汽車展示場，拿出大量1000肯亞先令紙鈔（約9歐元），買下一台豪華賓士轎車，急著將9月30日後就一文不值的現金脫手。   With the deadline looming before the Central Bank of Kenya bans all old edition 1,000 shilling notes, big fish with their fortunes stashed in cash are under pressure.隨著肯亞中央銀行禁止所有舊版千元先令流通的日期逼近，握有大筆現金的大人物備感壓力。   A new print of the 1,000 shilling banknote, the largest denomination, was rolled out in June. The operation is aimed at flushing out dirty money being hoarded by tax evaders, crooked businessmen and criminal groups. The central bank in June said there were roughly 218 million 1,000 shilling notes in circulation.最大面額1000先令的新版紙鈔在六月推出，這項行動旨在迫使逃稅者、奸商和犯罪集團，釋出積存的來歷不明財富。肯亞央行六月表示，約有2.18億張千元先令在市面流通。   People are getting creative, devising schemes to quickly unload small amounts of their cash.

Hi there! Welcome to Stories That Made Us. This week, we traverse through the great African continent and bring you the creation myths of four tribes - the Dinka of South Sudan, the Dogon of Mali, and Burkina Faso, the Efe of the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the Efik of Nigeria and Cameroon. African mythology is as beautiful as it is vast. The continent, after all, contains many languages, tribes, and cultures as diverse as the Nilotic peoples of Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, and more, to the San and Shona in southern Africa. The first tale is of the Dinka. They are the descendants of an ancient people who are native to South Sudan and had settled along the river Nile. This particular name "Dinka" has been given to them by the Europeans. They actually call themselves Muonjang or Jieng. They have traditionally engaged in agriculture and animal rearing and herding. Domesticating and rearing cattle constitutes a major part of their livelihood. The animal is of supreme importance to the Dinka, from a cultural as well as a practical point. The cattle form the basis of Dinka livelihood, religion, and social structure. Their creator god is a divine force, Nhialic. He is the high god and the source of sustenance. The creation of humans is the centerpiece of their origin myth, and Nhialic, also known as Divinity or Supreme Being, rarely bothers itself with the affairs of mankind. The next story is of the Dogon. The Dogon people of Africa live near and around the famous Bandiagara Cliffs in the central plateau region of present-day Mali and Burkina Faso in West Africa. Their creation story is one of the most elaborate and fascinating explanations of the origins of the world and of human culture. The third story is of the Efe. The Efe are people of the Ituri forest region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The tribe, along with the Aka, Sua, and Mbuti, are collectively known as Bambuti, or more commonly, Pygmies. Theirs is a patrilineal culture and the people have flourished predominantly as hunter-gatherers. The Efe, like the other tribes, have lived in the Ituri Forest since as early as twenty-five hundred BC. Interestingly, the Pharoah Nefrikare of Egypt knew of them and called the people "the dancing dwarves" and "people of the trees". Their story is more of an origin of death rather than a fully developed creation myth. The final story is of the Efik. They are inhabitants of the Cross River state of Nigeria and Cameroon. They are a patriarchal tribe that is led by a king. I hope you enjoy the tales. If you do, please leave a rating and feedback. Share and subscribe! Your patronage would help us immensely!

Trump is lamenting that no one likes him and is convinced it's because of his personality and nothing to do with how he's failed us all as president. Ivanka and Jared made $36 million despite working in the White House for free. The SEC admitted that positive tests will be a given but are going forward anyway because what is life without college football? The woman who had a meltdown at target over masks is now getting a divorce and blaming the incident on a bipolar episode. Hurricane Isaiah is headed toward Florida after already making landfall in the Bahamas. The group that runs the Bronx Zoo apologized for once having a Mbuti man on exhibit in the monkey house. This and more, right here.

In this episode, we delve into a tale from the Mbuti people of Congo that solves the mystery of Why the Dog Always Chases Other Animals.

Until very recently, Colin Turnbull was the only anthropologist who had lived and studied with both the Mbuti people of the Congo region and the Ik of Uganda. Because of his writings, one community became known for its egalitarianism and the other for its selfishness. His observations of the Ik in particular, as “inhuman” and “inhospitable,” led to them being dubbed as “the loveless people.” Then in 2009, Cathryn Townsend earned the chance to live with the Ik to study to generosity. In this episode, she shares her insights on what she found, and what Turnbull may have gotten wrong. To learn more about Cathryn Townsend's work, follow her on Twitter @CathrynTownsend. This episode is inspired by the SAPIENS.org article “Is a More Generous Society Possible?” Learn more about the Human Generosity Project, of which Cathryn is a part. SAPIENS: A Podcast for Everything Human is a part of the American Anthropological Association Podcast Library. Music for this episode includes: “Hello World,” “Who Were These People,” “Malaria,” “In Transit” by Matthew Simonson. “As I Was Saying,” “Curiosity,” “Quizitive,” Reflections,” All I have Left Are These Photographs” by Lee Rosevere “Silver Flame” by Kevin Macleod “Walking Bells” by Studio D

In this episode, we delve into a tale from the Mbuti people of Congo about The Old Woman with Sores.

Jessy and Rebekah dip into the taboos of menstruation. 0:30: Jessy and Rebekah start off the episode by saying FUCK YES IRELAND! (Of note: Northern Ireland still has the most strict laws governing abortion in all of Europe.) 01:15: Jessy gives an update on Oscar the Goat! You can hear all about him in Episode 2 – A Girl’s Worth! 11:00: No, sharks are NOT attracted to menstrual blood. Shark expert H. David Baldridge conducted a study on captive sharks. He introduced several bodily fluids – including menstrual blood – to captive sharks to see if it would elicit a feeding frenzy. The only fluid that did have this reaction was peritoneal fluid, the liquid found in our abdominal cavity. Men and women both have peritoneal fluid so therefore we are all equally likely to be killed and eaten by sharks. BOOM! That’s a takedown of misogyny right there. 11:45: Ladies! You really can use menstrual blood to fertilize plants! Our menstrual blood contains three primary plant macronutrients – nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium! Just dilute that shit with some water and you’re good to go. 14:45: Apparently if you google “Does JFK Airport sell tampons in the bathroom?” my blogpost about the topic is the first thing to pop up. So, here it is for your reading pleasure: Happy Bloody Valentine’s Day, Folks. 15:00: Menstrual products are REALLY expensive and in some states are taxed as luxury items. As if bleeding for days on end is a luxury. Rebekah and Jessy delved into this issue in Episode 3 – Tampon Tax 16:00: Menstruation, and the lack of knowledge and shame surrounding it, can profoundly impact women’s education. Read about it here, here and here. 22:20: We are sorry to everyone from the Mbuti Tribe who we might have offended. The Mbuti tribe is pretty awesome for so many reasons but for the purposes of this podcast it’s really cool that men and women participate evenly in the hunt! 26:25: PMDD stands for Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder and is basically PMS on steroids. 29:10: Here is a little information on how your  period can change over time. 30:30: A WTMV Challenge! Try and be open about your period! Talk to people about it. The more we talk about it the better it will get for all of us. 31:50: Rebekah and Jessy play a “Did You Know” lightening round! 32:23: As promised, here is Meghan Markle’s piece for Time Magazine, How Periods Affect Potential. 33:00: Here is Jessy’s video where she talks about menstruation AND Walt Disney.

Humanitarian and American MMA fighter Justin "The Big Pygmy" Wren called in to the Curiosity in Focus podcast to talk about his work with Fight for the Forgotten and Water 4 in the Congo Basin of Africa. Justin is current fights in Bellator MMA and uses this career as a platform to help raise more awareness for helping the Mbuti pygmy people.

In this episode of Houghton75, we speak with Christie McDonald, Smith Professor of French Language and Literature and Professor of Comparative Literature, about a fascinating painting by her aunt, Anne Eisner Putnam, entitled “Beauty Salon.” Putnam lived and worked with the Bantu and Mbuti peoples in the 1940s and 1950s in the Belgian Congo (what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo).

This week we feature a new episode in our series on field recordings past and present. We go "old school" with Alan Lomax and trace an academic history of field recordings back in the day, check in with Steven Feld's 1996 article Pygmy Pop: A Genealogy of Schizophonic Mimesis, and tell the story of our own recent bout of schizophonia.
