Animals and tricksters are highly prominent beings in the mythology of the San Bushmen of southern Africa, as well as of hunter-gatherers in other regions of the world. Their actions and interactions provide the plot lines for most of the stories people tell about myth time. Why are these two beings so preeminent in San mythology and storytelling? Is there a connection between the two beings? Mathias Guenther discusses these two questions and the answer reveals a deep – and deep-rooted –mystical connection also between animals and humans. The hunting-gathering people that provide the cultural context for my talk are the San Bushmen of southern Africa, amongst whom I have done ethnographic field work. I will also consider hunter-gatherers from other parts of the world, both from present or recent times and from prehistory. These considerations may shed some light on certain aspects of prehistoric cave paintings.

Today we're heading to the magical country of Botswana. It's a dream world where you very might well come across a gorgeous sunset, framed by a rainbow, arching over two baby leopards. Sounds fantastical, but I have actually seen it. The other things you can see in Botswana like the Eden that is Chobe and encountering San Bushmen in the Kalahari are also sure to blow you away.  My guests today are an amazing panel of safari and Botswana experts. We have Attorney Vasco who grew up on a farm outside of Maun and is now the head guiding manager for Wilderness Safaris in Botswana, Craig Glatthaar who has spent countless years in the bush and helps market all of Wilderness' projects to North America, and Vince Shacks who is a true expert in conservation.  We talk in depth about what makes Botswana special, how Wilderness Destinations is set up perfectly to showcase this country, and the group tells some fantastic stories of wildlife and crazy encounters.    Thank you to our sponsor for this episode, Cozy Earth.   Learn more at www.luxtravelinsider.com   Connect with me on Social: Instagram LinkedIn

What was life like before agriculture? Was it "nasty, brutish, and short?" Or was it quite peaceful and relaxing, making agriculture the "worst mistake in human history"? There are plenty of theories about our ancestral lives. And these are not just neutral hypotheses about a past epoch. They are often used as an origin story of our species. They shape the way we think of ourselves, our natural inclinations, and the virtues or vices of civilisation. But how can we go beyond origin myths? Is there a science of the past? For a long-time, it was common to use modern-day hunter-gatherers as a model of the past. This method has been popularised by books such as Sapiens. But recently, this method came under serious attack by another bestseller, Dawn of Everything, whose authors argue that the project is largely futile. But is it? Are there any methods to study our ancestral past? Dr Vivek V. Venkataraman is a hunter-gatherer expert who recently wrote a clarifying piece on this for The Conversation. He joins Ilari to discuss topics such as: What books like Sapiens or Dawn of Everything get right and wrong Why there is no such a thing as a “hunter-gatherer lifestyle” - but we can still learn something from modern-day hunter-gatherers. Dr Venkataraman's experience of living with an egalitarian hunter-gatherer community (the Batek in Malaysia) Were our ancestors egalitarian? How archaeology helps anthropology Beyond the "story of the seed": How climate change and population density explain more than agriculture Some speculation about war and violence in the Pleistocene (see also episode 8) Names mentioned: Thomas Hobbes & Jean-Jacques Rousseau Richard Wrangham (author of The Goodness Paradox) Christopher Boehm (author of Hierarchy in the Forest) Jared Diamond (author of Guns, Germs, & Steel) Yuval Noah Harari (author of Sapiens) David Wengrow and David Graeber (authors of Dawn of Everything) Marshall Sahlins (author of the essay, The Original Affluent Society) Karen & Kirk Endicott (author of The Headman Was A Woman) Peter Turchin (referenced paper on complexity) Douglas P. Fry (see episode 8) Richard Dawkins (author of God Delusion) John McPhee (author) Kim Sterelny (philosopher of science) Terms Göbekli Tepe Pleistocene (the era ending c. 11 700 years ago, starting c 2 million years ago) Intensification Scalar stress Self-domestication (see e.g. Survival of the Friendliest) Hunter-gatherer groups mentioned: !Kung (a group of San Bushmen, also known Ju/'hoansi) in the Kalahari Desert The Hadza in Tanzania The Ache in Paraguay The Batek in Malaysia The Northwestern Pacific hunter-gatherers of US and Canada The Calousa of Florida

Imagine a world where you could just up and dance your sickness away. This is what The San Bushmen of the Kalahari of Southern Africa do. Theirs is one of the oldest surviving lineages and cultures, and we can ask if theirs represents the oldest healing traditions, the earliest worldviews. David Cumes, a Western trained surgeon born in South Africa, reclaimed those roots when he attended the San's healing dances, was initiated by the Zulua as a sangoma shaman and, as wilderness guide, and led healing journeys through Peru, Africa, and the Sinai. What healing energy flows through the dancer? What can “throwing the bones” tell the diviner for his diagnosis? What role does ritual play in activating the life force? In bridging these two worlds for healing, we expand our ability to embrace a changing world.From the Archives: This live interview was recorded on February 4,  2002 on the nationally syndicated radio program, hosted by Laura Lee .

In this week's Unsupervised Learning Podcast, Razib is joined by author and psycholinguist Steven Pinker to discuss his new book Rationality: what is it, why it seems scarce, and why it matters. Pinker makes the case the humans are fundamentally rational beings, and that it's this capacity that has allowed Homo sapiens to spread across the planet and occupy virtually every niche available to us. Our intuitive ability to understand how physical objects, other creatures and other humans think and behave, combined with our cultural innovativeness, has allowed us to become the apex species of planet earth. Our natural logical abilities allow us to remain one step ahead in the evolutionary arms race. Next, they delve into the history of academic discourse on thinking and rationality, from Aristotle to artificial intelligence, and try to probe and characterize the differences between logic and critical thinking, correlation and causation, and domain-specific versus general intelligence. Then they discuss Bayes' theorem and the spread of Bayesian thinking and discourse across the broad population in the 21st century.  Pinker suggests that the Bayesian framework can actually be observed quite widely even in hunter-gatherer populations like the San Bushmen of the Kalahari. He argues we are all Bayesians – we just might not consciously realize that when we are applying it to our problem-solving. Pinker believes that having a better understanding of the whole process may aid our decision-making and help us avoid common pitfalls, like ignoring the base rate, which is usually given the spotlight in the heuristics and biases literature. Finally, the discussion then veers into tackling the interplay between rationality and morality, and how the former can aid progress in the latter. They conclude with a discussion on our current cultural climate, and the discourse on sex, race and wokeness.

Longtime readers of my blog know how much James Suzman's first book influenced my thinking and views of possessions, community, ownership, modernity, and a range of similar topics. A top question I've asked anyone who might know is how populations that didn't grow despite sharing our biology that has grown exponentially for centuries.If knowing history is wise and knowing history farther back wiser, James's living with the San Bushmen of southern Africa gave him a few hundred thousand years to know. We can't know exactly how their lives today resemble their ancestors, but the overlap is greater than zero and suggests a huge alternative to the knee-jerk dichotomy people can't see past today of capitalism versus communism. Human beings lived for two hundred thousand years, maybe three, in ways that were neither.You can imagine the changes in climate, other species, terrain, and more in that time. Their stability endured a thousand times longer than the time since the Industrial Revolution led us to put our whole species in the realm of extinction.As the world looks to technology to help us out of the mess technology wrought, flagrantly disregarding Einstein's admonition that acting by what got us into a mess won't get us out of it, James's work suggests values, behaviors, and cultures we can learn from.We covered topics like these. I bet you'll find our conversation fascinating.Work: A Deep History, from the Stone Age to the Age of RobotsAffluence Without Abundance: The disappearing world of the BushmenIn GQ: James Suzman Interview: Our Collective Fixation on Productivity Is Older Than You ThinkIn the Wall Street Journal: ‘Work' Review: Foraging for the Good LifeIn Harvard Business Review: The Fundamental Human Relationship with WorkIn The New Yorker: What's Wrong with the Way We WorkTiming and Management of Birth among the !Kung: Biocultural Interaction in,Reproductive Adaptation See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

So many of us drift purposelessly and out of touch with who we truly are. Why is it this way? By learning about ancient cultures and traditions, we can experience higher states of consciousness that radically alter our view of others and our place within the world. Dr. Kovacs is the author of Merchants of Light: The Consciousness That Is Changing the World. Within a three-year period, she experienced the deaths of her mother, son, and husband in separate car accidents. She witnessed her son's consciousness after his death and began researching our ancestors' forgotten and repressed wisdom of a greater consciousness.Quotes to remember: “There is no death. Consciousness continues.” “If we don’t know who we are, then others can control us.” “We can grieve any kind of change or loss.”Takeaways:Our dreams can have premonitions of the future, including those concerning our deathsTrue myths nurture our growth and developmentWe are the mediators between the energy of the earth and of the cosmosOur dreams, prayers, and meditations feed us symbolicallyGrief can lead us to a vaster consciousnessWe are immortal, divine, and creative, although we have lost sight of thisMeditation is a form of study, with our thoughts and feelings as the subjectThe heart is part of the brainWhen we connect with ultimate consciousness, our lives are forever changedAncient cultures were perhaps more advanced and knowledgeable about the nature of humankindWhat you’ll learn:How Betty experienced her son’s consciousness after his deathHow our ancestors had a much vaster understanding of consciousness, and what we can do to return to this stateAccessing the wisdom of your dreamsAbout the inverted myths in religion that have disconnected us from the truth of who we areThe role of the shaman in guiding us to who we areAbout the San Bushmen traditions and how they utilize energy and lost wisdom of consciousnessMentioned on the podcast: https://kamlak.com/Merchants of Light bookThe Miracle of Death bookHeart Math InstituteBradford KeeneyCosmic Consciousness - Richard Maurice BuckePeter KingsleyLinks:YoutubeFacebook

Travel to the Kalahari Desert, in Namibia, where under the shade of a Baobab Tree, eight San elders are gathering to perform their traditional healing dances one last time before they pass on. The San are among the oldest continuously surviving tribes on Earth. They have lived among the plains of Southern Africa as hunter-gatherers for at least the last 20,000 years. And for all those long years, they have been dancing. The San are a dancing culture. For them, movement and music is more than ceremony and celebration. It is the way they connect with, and understand, the world, and the spirit. It is also the way they heal. But without apprentices to pass on their practices, the sacred knowledge of their ancient dances was in danger of being lost forever. The elders asked Ben to come and film them in the hope that one day their great grandchildren would be able to retain this wisdom. Ben has travelled the world. He has filmed the Aboriginees of Australia, the Pygmies of the Congo, and was nominated for a Grammy for his cinematography on the groundbreaking 1 Giant Leap DVD. This, he says, was the adventure of his life. Travel with him now, deep into desert plains of the Nyae Nyae Conservancy, to witness the last dance of the San Bushmen. What he discovers when he gets there is that this ancient knowledge is vital not just for the San, but for us too. Human beings have been dancing and making music since we first set foot on the Savannah. Every religious and spiritual tradition on Earth has some form of movement or music as part of its practice. It is who we are. The message the San have for us is that dancing is not just a frivolous bit of fun. It is a gateway to the spirit and a powerful means to heal our mental and physical ails. Ben went to Namibia for the sake of the San, but what he brought home might just have the power to save us all.Highlights include:Witness one of the most ancient dances in the world, with original audio recorded in the field courtesy of Ben ColeLearn about the San people and their beliefs about the power of dance to heal our mental and physical ailmentsBen is a world-class storyteller, and former actor, and brings to life the culture and landscape of this incredible country ... including a possible origin story of the Cupid myth!Be inspired to get your own dance on, whether that's in a club or just in your own front room. You may never think about dancing in the same way again!Find out more about Ben Cole's documentary work on Facebook: @bencolecinematography Ben, and his wife Caroline, also run Middle Earth Medicine Ways, which uses the power of dance and movement to facilitate a deeper connection with yourself, your spirit and the world around you.

Following one’s passion isn’t always about making our own life better — sometimes, we get a very unique opportunity to fully harness the skills, talent, experience, connections, and interests we possess in the service of someone we love. This is precisely what happened in Rupert Isaacson’s case when his young son, Rowan, was diagnosed with autism. And in Rupert’s very real quest to help his little boy, he discovered a therapeutic approach that could help others who are on the same journey. To share this desperately needed support as broadly as possible, Rupert wrote a book, created a film, and established a foundation. He’s even taken his message personally to the world to anyone who would listen through clinics, conferences, personal appearances, partnering with neurologists and therapists around the world, and doing everything in his power to shift our thinking about autism and how to support autists in a more nurturing and effective way.   In this week's Season 3 premiere episode — that also marks Rupert Isaacson’s return to the podcast — he shares about his incredible journey with his son, Rowan. He provides insight into how autists experience autism, how Rowan’s journey is helping thousands of people (autistic or not) through the Horse Boy Foundation and Kids Must Move, their journey through Mongolia and why they chose to film absolutely everything on their trip — even the moments that seemed far too raw for the camera, and some of the powerful moments that really stand out to him when he looks back on his family’s journey.   Topics of Discussion: [:24] About today’s episode. [1:51] Rupert speaks about the early days of his son, Rowan’s, autism diagnosis and the beginning of their journey to help him cope through the magic of horses. [5:34] Rupert provides his insight into how autists experience autism. [11:43] Rupert speaks about the incredible transformation he noticed in his son after the San Bushmen healers prayed over him during their ceremonies in Mongolia. [16:55] How Rowan’s journey is helping thousands of people (autistic or not) through the Horse Boy Foundation and Kids Must Move. [18:33] What is shamanism? And how can it help aid healthy brain function and be especially beneficial to those with autism? [21:40] Rupert reflects on his journey with Rowan and speaks more about the characteristics of shamanism and the major differences between it and western medicine. [24:25] Rupert speaks about their journey through Mongolia and why they chose to film everything on their trip. [26:34] Were there ever any moments that were too raw for the camera? [29:29] When Rupert looks back on his family’s journey, what stands out for him? [32:18] When does that healthy reliance on proven methods in Western medicine become an impediment to utilizing new methods that have incredibly positive outcomes? [35:02] Rupert’s book, The Horse Boy, was received with stellar reviews — most notably perhaps was the review from the Autism Society of America’s former President and CEO, Lee Grossman. Does it ever strike Rupert the degree to which his journey is helping to improve others’ lives? [36:54] Rupert offers some guidance to those on a similar path to his own. [38:42] What’s next for Rupert and Rowan? [45:42] Where to find out more about the work Rupert is doing.   Know Someone Inspirational, Whose Life Has Been Forever Changed Because of Horses?

In this episode, Brendan Leonard and I had a remarkable conversation with a remarkable person, and we urge every runner — and non-runner — to listen to it.Filmmaker and runner, Sanjay Rawal (3100: Run and Become; Food Chains; Challenging Impossibility), joined us to talk about how running can be far more than just a fitness routine or a competitive outlet, it can be transformative, and make us better people.An accomplished runner himself, Sanjay shares how burning out on competitive running, a fraught political climate, and a desire for self-discovery led him to veer off the 'straight-A's / med school' path that he was on at Berkeley, and instead go explore running as a form of meditation under the guidance of the spiritual leader Sri Chinmoy.We then talk about Sanjay’s most recent film called, 3100: Run and Become, which centers on the longest certified race in the world, the Self-Transcendence 3100 — that’s right, this is a three thousand and one hundred mile long race that takes place in, of all places, Queens, New York, on a sidewalk. That surrounds a high school.

In this episode, Brendan Leonard and I had a remarkable conversation with a remarkable person, and we urge every runner — and non-runner — to listen to it.Filmmaker and runner, Sanjay Rawal (3100: Run and Become; Food Chains; Challenging Impossibility), joined us to talk about how running can be far more than just a fitness routine or a competitive outlet, it can be transformative, and make us better people.An accomplished runner himself, Sanjay shares how burning out on competitive running, a fraught political climate, and a desire for self-discovery led him to veer off the 'straight-A's / med school' path that he was on at Berkeley, and instead go explore running as a form of meditation under the guidance of the spiritual leader Sri Chinmoy.We then talk about Sanjay’s most recent film called, 3100: Run and Become, which centers on the longest certified race in the world, the Self-Transcendence 3100 — that’s right, this is a three thousand and one hundred mile long race that takes place in, of all places, Queens, New York, on a sidewalk. That surrounds a high school.

ll Mimi Anderson really wanted was thinner legs. She ran the windiest road imaginable to get there, a journey that brought her across frigid tundra and blistering desert alike and placed her in the record books for posterity. Along the way, what she found hidden underneath her compulsion to thin down was a passion to challenge herself and grow. Anderson runs it in 100 mile+ chunks, but swears that 5k is plenty if that's what challenges you. She has one deceptively simple piece of advice: Just sign up and you'll find a way to make it happen.  Watch the video episode at http://spartanuppodcast.com  Lessons:1. Just sign up and it and you'll find a way to make it happen.2. When the going gets tough, think of all the people who expect you to fail.3. If you don't constantly push boundaries, you're not going to grow as a person.Panel Notes:Joe Desena: Who would take a hair dryer on a long distance multi day run? Multi day! She ran across South Africa.  Most people complain when they need to drive that far. Find out what helps her get through that kind of adversity.Col. Nye: Remarkable woman, staggering accomplishments, tough as nails.  Driven by challenge and adventure. Growth comes from challenge. Listen to your body.  Must be mentally prepared at all times. Uses visualization.Sefra Alexandra: “The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible” Mimi has run across deserts in the Sahara, Libya, Chile, Kalahari and Namibia to name a few: feats a Land Rover would be whimpering about. Speaking of the Kalahari, the San Bushmen are masters of persistence hunting: a combination of running, walking and tracking to pursue prey to the point of exhaustion. A hunt for a kudu (antelope) can last 2-5hrs covering around 22 miles in 104-108 °F… try that as a change in your frame of reference. (GERONIMO)Mimi is Co-Founder of Freedom Runners - a 2350km run across South Africa’s Freedom Trail to raise money to provide products to keep South African girls in school.

In the opening talk of the 2014 ISACA Conference, Quinton Coetzee discusses why the SAN Bushmen succeed - and what the business lessons are that can be derived.Pubcast Episode 140160;Download the160;160;Full Audio Fileaudiohttp://www.di...
