Island in Indonesia
POPULARITY
Bones can tell us so much about the past, not just about the ancestry of modern humans (or homo sapiens) but also about the people and cultures of times long forgotten. When we think about Indonesia's place in history, we're often inclined to think about the histories that shape the socio-cultural and political dynamics we see today. But Indonesia's global historical significance goes way beyond this when we start considering how Indonesia features in early movements and migrations of humans and how they might have lived. It's estimated that ancient humans travelled through Wallacea, what we now understand as Eastern Indonesia, at least 50,000 years ago (possibly even before 65,000 years ago) before coming to Australia and its surrounding islands. There is also evidence of pre-modern ancestry- the most famous, perhaps, being the discovery of skeletal remains in Central Java, which became known as the “Java man,” in the 1980s. These were the first known fossils of the species homo erectus. While difficult to pinpoint precisely, the most recent estimates date these remains to being around 1.3 million years old. You may also recall the discovery of the Flores hobbits in the early 2000s, when skeletal remains of a species of “tiny humans” was found. These are estimated to be somewhere between 190,000 to 50,000 years old. Today's guest is very familiar with the information we can glean from old bones. Dr Melandri Vlok has experience working on archaeological projects in Kalimantan and Sulawesi. She's a bioarchaeologist and palaeopathologist who specialises in the Asia-Pacific region. One of her truly impressive claims to fame is her work in the discovery of a 31,000 year-old skeleton which shows strong signs of being one of the earliest known examples of a successful amputation, which you can read about in the highly renowned journal Nature. She's also a member of the exclusive National Geographic Explorers community, having received funding through the program to further her research.

How technology led to the rise of HTS and the fall of Assad in Syria HTS presented the removal of a brutal dictatorship that had lasted for five decades as a straightforward task accomplished in a matter of days. Currently, the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) has assumed control in Syria, while former president Bashar al-Assad reportedly resides in Russia. Although the narrative often emphasizes the use of armoured vehicles and firearms, many analyses overlook the significant impact of technology on HTS's achievements, including innovations such as 3D printing and drones. To explore this topic in greater depth, we will engage in a discussion with Broderick McDonald, a researcher specializing in conflict at King's College London. Our demand for nickel is destroying a way of life in Indonesia Peter Guest, one of Somewhere on Earth's regular studio experts, has been on the nickel trail in Indonesia He provides a firsthand account of the environmental repercussions associated with the nickel sector, which supplies components for electric vehicles on our roads. Peter has undertaken a 2,000-kilometer journey across Sulawesi, examining the detrimental impacts of the nickel industry on both the environment and human rights.

Majapahit was Indonesia, and Southeast Asia's, largest empire. Centered on the island of Java, Majapahit commanded loyalty from vassals across the archipelago: on Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi, and even the Malay Peninsula, including a tiny village called Tumasik–known today as Singapore. The empire lasted for around 230 years, from its founding in 1292 to its fall to the Sultanate of Demak in 1527. Today, the Hindu-Buddhist kingdom of Majapahit is an important source of national pride in today's Muslim-majority Indonesia: Even the Indonesian coat of arms, with its garuda and the motto “Unity in Diversity”, is rooted in the Majapahit era. But the tale of Majapahit–as told in Herald van der Linde's book, Majapahit: Intrigue, Betrayal and War in Indonesia's Greatest Empire (Monsoon Books: 2024)–is a story of mythical kings, conquest, betrayal, and intrigue, as Indonesian royals jostled for position…and at times fought off external enemies like the Mongols.

My guest on the show this week is Sebastien Tissot, the founder of Nissaba, a Swiss fragrance brand that arrived in Selfridges here in the UK earlier this year. Each of the fragrances combines natural ingredients from a single origin and showcases that area or region in olfactory form. The range is absolutely stunning and my personal favourite is a beautiful example of a patchouli fragrance called ‘Sulawesi'. If you get chance to sample Nissaba near you, I really recommend you do so!I had a fascinating conversation with Sebastien, whose previous role was Head of Sustainable Sourcing at one of the world's largest fragrance manufacturers, DSM Firmenich, so he has a wealth of experience around materials and ingredients. When he started Nissaba he wanted it to be about doing good as well as smelling good. To that end, the company invests 5% of its turnover in supporting young people in communities of perfume plant growers, enabling them to put in place practices that are resilient to climate change and can adapt to local conditions. They fund young farmers and vocational schools in communities where they source ingredients and they aim to be a ‘positive-impact brand.'This also extends to the products themselves - Nissaba fragrances are designed according to the principles of circularity and essentiality. All components are either recyclable or reusable, and the quantity of raw materials used is minimal, to keep the overall carbon footprint to a minimum. Bio-sourced, recycled, and/or certified materials have been chosen wherever possible. Sebastien mentioned using hand cream, (natural) menthol toothpaste and Déclaration by Cartier in his daily routines.

Fotograaf Ringel Goslinga gebruikt fotografie om de wereld vast te leggen en te bestuderen. Hij portretteerde de sociale omgeving van zijn beide gescheiden ouders, om uit te vinden waarom hun levens niet meer bij elkaar pasten. Hij legde een jaar lang de bekenden en onbekenden vast die een band hadden met zijn pasgeboren zoon. En voor zijn nieuwste project Aluk to Dolo, waarvan dit najaar een fotoboek verschijnt, reisde hij zijn opa achterna. Die besloot in 1933 als zendingsarts naar het Indonesische eiland Sulawesi te gaan, met als gevolg dat het gezin - inclusief de vader van Ringel - tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog in een Japans interneringskamp belandde.
La ligne de Wallace est une frontière biogéographique invisible mais très significative qui sépare deux grandes régions écologiques distinctes en Asie du Sud-Est : l'Asie continentale et l'Australasie. Cette ligne traverse l'archipel malais, passant entre les îles de Bali et Lombok, puis entre Bornéo et Sulawesi, et enfin entre les Philippines et l'archipel des Moluques. Elle marque une séparation nette entre les espèces animales et végétales de ces régions alors que ces iles sont plus proche que la France continentale ne l'est de la corse ! Origine et découverte :La ligne de Wallace a été nommée d'après Alfred Russel Wallace, un naturaliste britannique du XIXe siècle qui a mené des explorations en Asie du Sud-Est et a observé une démarcation nette dans la faune de cette région. Wallace a remarqué que les animaux trouvés à l'ouest de la ligne (comme sur Bali et Bornéo) étaient principalement d'origine asiatique, incluant des tigres, des éléphants et des primates, tandis que ceux trouvés à l'est (sur Lombok, Sulawesi, et plus loin vers la Nouvelle-Guinée et l'Australie) ressemblaient davantage aux espèces australiennes, telles que les marsupiaux et les oiseaux de paradis. Importance biogéographique :La ligne de Wallace est une illustration frappante de la théorie de la biogéographie, montrant comment les barrières géographiques influencent la distribution des espèces. Cette ligne reflète les profondes différences écologiques entre les régions : les îles à l'ouest de la ligne faisaient autrefois partie de la masse continentale asiatique, tandis que celles à l'est sont reliées à l'Australie par des terres émergées pendant les périodes glaciaires. Cette séparation géologique a empêché le mélange des espèces malgré leur relative proximité géographique. Barrière écologique :La ligne de Wallace correspond à une zone de profondeurs marines qui n'ont jamais été recouvertes de terre, même pendant les périodes où le niveau des mers était beaucoup plus bas. Cette barrière marine a empêché les espèces de traverser facilement d'un côté à l'autre, limitant ainsi le mouvement des animaux terrestres et des plantes. Implications scientifiques :Les découvertes de Wallace ont été cruciales pour le développement des théories sur l'évolution et la sélection naturelle, qu'il a développées en parallèle avec Charles Darwin. La ligne de Wallace reste un concept fondamental en écologie, biologie de la conservation, et en biogéographie, illustrant comment des barrières naturelles peuvent façonner la diversité des espèces sur Terre. En résumé, la ligne de Wallace est plus qu'une simple frontière écologique ; elle est un témoignage de millions d'années d'évolution distincte et montre comment la géographie influence profondément la distribution de la vie sur notre planète.

In this conversation, Dr. Tania Li talks to us about her long-standing ethnographic fieldwork in Indonesia. It focuses on assemblages of land reform – who is included and who is excluded, the history of land reform movements in Indonesia, and the implications of such assemblages. In particular, Dr. Li talks about the capitalist relations that emerge when indigenous highlanders self-organize to institute property rights. We see that it is not as straightforward as conventional neoliberal narratives suggest. Today's guest is Dr. Tania Li, a Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Toronto. After her early research in Singapore, she has dedicated much of her career to researching land, labor, capitalism, development, politics and indigeneity in Indonesia. She has written about the rise of Indonesia's indigenous peoples' movement, land reform, rural class formation, struggles over the forests and conservation, community resource management, state-organized resettlement and the problems faced by people who are pushed off the land in contexts where they have little or no access to waged employment, and more. Her most recent book, Plantation Life (2021), co-authored with Pujo Semedi, examines the structure and governance of Indonesia's contemporary oil palm plantations in Indonesia; the book theorizes the notion of “corporate occupation” to underscore how massive forms of capitalist production and control over the palm oil industry replicate colonial-style relations that undermine citizenship. Her book Land's End (2014) draws on two decades of ethnographic research in Sulawesi, Indonesia and offers an intimate account of the emergence of capitalist relations among indigenous highlanders who privatized their common land to plant a boom crop, cacao. This is the book that inspired the topic for this episode, so we'll be digging into this more in a moment. Some of her other books include The Will to Improve: Governmentality, Development, and the Practice of Politics (2007) which incidentally was a huge inspiration for my own journey into anthropology, her book Powers of Exclusion: Land Dilemmas in Southeast Asia (2011), co-authored with Derek Hall and Paul Hirsch, and Transforming the Indonesian Uplands: Marginality, Power, and Production (1999). Her scholarship engages interdisciplinarily with geography, philosophy, religion, politics, and much more. I'm delighted but also honored to be able to interview her for this episode, and I know there will be more to talk about than we have time for, so let's get started.

In July, researchers discovered the oldest known cave art. It was found in a cave on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, and it shows three human-like figures and a wild pig.

Over 50,000 years ago on what is now the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, someone climbed a towering rock formation and painted a mysterious image on a cave ceiling. The painting shows three half-human, half-animal figures and a large wild pig. The image, dated to 51,200 years old, is now the oldest known visual story in the world. In this episode, archaeologist Adam Brumm shares the story of this incredible discovery. Help make more Origin Stories.

Sequoia National Park is largely designated as wilderness. That complicates efforts to protect its iconic trees from worsening wildfires. Also, archaeologists keep finding older and older cave art. Here's what it could tell us about how humans evolved over time.Protecting Sequoias From Wildfire Raises Tricky QuestionsSequoia National Park in California is known for its towering, iconic sequoia trees, some of which are thought to be thousands of years old. Severe wildfires fueled by climate change and a long history of fire suppression have put these trees at risk. One solution to this problem is to plant new sequoias. But an interesting debate has sparked between those in favor of this and those against it.The vast majority of the park is officially considered “wilderness,” a federal designation that describes an area “untrammeled by man.” This concept of “untrammeled” has become more complicated in the age of climate change: Some people argue that it means humans shouldn't intervene, even when the ecosystem is changing because of human-made climate change.Guest host Maggie Koerth speaks with Marissa Ortega-Welch, host and producer of the “How Wild” podcast from KALW and NPR. The first episode of this podcast, “Untrammeled,” highlights this debate.What Newly Discovered Cave Art Tells Us About Human CreativityIn July, researchers discovered the oldest known cave art. It was found in a cave on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, and it shows three human-like figures and a wild pig. The painting was dated at 51,200 years old—5,000 years older than any other known cave art.The finding continues a trend of researchers unearthing older and older examples of human-made art, including those found outside of Spain and Southern France, where most cave art discoveries have been made.Guest host Maggie Koerth is joined by Dr. Isobel Wisher, a postdoctoral researcher with the Evolution of Early Symbolic Behavior project at Aarhus University in Denmark, to discuss how this field of archeology has changed over the years, how new technology is making these ancient cave paintings more accessible to the public, and what they can tell us about the human experience.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Eerder deze maand werd een van de oudste voorbeelden van grotschilderkunst ontdekt op het Indonesische eiland Sulawesi, en nu hebben onderzoekers in die regio een nieuwe ontdekking gedaan; oude resten die wijzen op menselijke activiteit en bewoning daar 42.000 jaar geleden.
It's great to bring you Episode #98 with the support of our sponsor XDEEP and the patrons of Speaking Sidemount. Huge thanks to both for their support. In this episode, I introduce a new segment 'Sidemount Diving Secrets' where I'll share some inside tips and tricks that I've picked up over the 11 years now that I've been diving sidemount around the world. Inside the episode, I'll give an overview of the tip, and given we are producing both video and audio episodes, I'll point you back to the Sidemount Pros YouTube channel for the detailed video of each "Sidemount Secret". Let me know what you think and also drop me a note back if you have a tip you'd like to share, or have an aspect of sidemount diving you'd like me to explore. To get us started, this month's Sidemount Diving Secret is regarding the routing of your drysuit inflator hose and is brought to you by Sidemount Pros and is featuring my eBook, "Sidemount Diving Fundamentals" which is available complimentary for Gold patrons and for purchase/download via Patreon or the store on my website at www.sidemountpros.com/store. In this episode, I catch up with Por Parasu Komaradat. Por hails from and is based in Thailand an absolute global mecca for all things diving, from beautiful reefs, to wreck diving. As we'll hear, a heap of caves and mines are being explored and opened up to suitably qualified and experienced divers. Por shares his background in mathematics and software engineering before transitioning to full-time diving. How he learned sidemount diving from Lamar Hires and went on to also train in Mexico. Por has been working as a technical diving instructor for 16 years. I share my own experience transitioning from software engineering to diving. We discuss the similarities between the two fields and the importance of having mentors in diving. Por also talks about the caves and mines in Thailand and the challenges and differences of diving in each. Por also shares his perspectives on the Mine Diving cross-over course and how important it is to understand how mining is conducted and how mines are created in safely conducting mine dives. Por shares his active projects, including exploring caves in Sulawesi and caves and mines in Thailand. He emphasizes the importance of teaching and building dive communities in the region.

La plus ancienne œuvre d'art figurative connue au monde est effectivement une peinture rupestre représentant un cochon sauvage, découverte sur l'île de Sulawesi en Indonésie. Cette peinture a été datée d'environ 45 500 ans, bien que certaines estimations mentionnent qu'elle pourrait avoir jusqu'à 51 000 ans.La peinture représente un cochon verruqueux de Sulawesi (Sus celebensis), une espèce encore présente sur l'île aujourd'hui. La fresque montre l'animal avec des caractéristiques détaillées, notamment des poils faciaux et des verrues faciales distinctives, indiquant un niveau élevé de compétence artistique de la part des créateurs. Elle mesure environ 136 cm de long et 54 cm de haut.Cette découverte a été faite dans la grotte de Leang Tedongnge, située dans une vallée isolée entourée de falaises de calcaire abruptes. Les conditions d'accès difficiles et l'isolement géographique ont probablement contribué à la préservation de cette peinture pendant des dizaines de milliers d'années.Les archéologues ont utilisé la datation par uranium-thorium pour déterminer l'âge de la peinture. Cette méthode mesure les couches minérales qui se sont formées sur la peinture, fournissant une estimation de l'âge minimum de l'œuvre.Cette découverte est particulièrement significative car elle repousse les limites chronologiques de l'art figuratif humain, démontrant que les premiers humains anatomiquement modernes en Asie du Sud-Est possédaient déjà des capacités artistiques avancées. Elle contribue également à notre compréhension de l'évolution de l'art et de la culture humaine, indiquant que les comportements symboliques et artistiques étaient déjà développés à une époque très ancienne, indépendamment des régions géographiques.En résumé, la peinture rupestre de Sulawesi, représentant un cochon verruqueux et datée d'environ 45 500 à 51 000 ans, est actuellement la plus ancienne œuvre d'art figurative connue au monde. Cette découverte offre un aperçu précieux sur les capacités artistiques et symboliques des premiers humains dans cette région. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

In een grot op het Indonesische eiland Sulawesi is een figuratieve grottekening gevonden die ten minste 51.200 jaar oud moet zijn. Dat maakt hem zo'n 5000 jaar ouder dan de vorige recordhouder. Het gaat om een tekening van drie mensachtige figuren naast wat een wild varken moet zijn. Het grootste poppetje lijkt, met de armen in de lucht, een soort stok vast te houden. Het tweede figuur staat dicht bij de kop van het dier en lijkt ook een stok vast te hebben richting de nek van het dier. Het derde mensfiguur staat op zijn kop, met één hand richting of op het hoofd van het varken. Waarschijnlijk vertelden mensen al veel langer verhalen aan elkaar, maar op een manier die niet werd vastgelegd. Het is overigens niet de oudste grottekening. In Zuid-Afrika werden al eens getekende geometrische patronen gevonden die meer dan 75,000 jaar oud moeten zijn. Maar dat werd nog niet gezien als verhalende kunst. De tekening van de drie poppetjes en het varken wel. Het laat zien dat toen al de weg werd ingeslagen die uiteindelijk leidde tot kunst en wetenschap. Wat er dan voor heeft gezorgd dat de mens ooit ging tekenen, en of dat een verandering in bijvoorbeeld de hersenen is geweest, dat weten we niet. De ontdekking werd gedaan met de nieuwste dateertechnieken. Daarmee zal waarschijnlijk ook opnieuw naar andere, al eerder ontdekte tekeningen worden gekeken. Mogelijk worden daarmee nog oudere tekeningen gevonden. Sommige onderzoekers vermoeden dat deze waarschijnlijk in Afrika gevonden zullen worden, maar voorlopig is Sulawesi recordhouder.

*) Qatar re-evaluating its role as mediator in Gaza ceasefire negotiations Qatari Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said his country is re-evaluating its role as a mediator between Israel and Hamas on reaching a ceasefire in Gaza and will take an “appropriate decision”. Al Thani's remarks came during a press conference held in Doha with his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan. He said consultations were held with Türkiye's foreign minister and they agreed on “the necessity for all parties to resort to de-escalation, dialogue and resolving issues in the region logically, not through weapons and violence.” *) Israeli attack could spark regional war — Jordan Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said an Israeli retaliation against Iranian strikes could bring a real risk of dragging the whole region into a devastating war. In an interview released by state media, Safadi said his country was lobbying major powers against an escalation that would have far-reaching consequences for regional stability and security. Safadi said, "The risks are enormous. That could drag the whole region into war, which would be devastating to us in the region and we'll have very, very serious implications for the rest of the world including the US." *) Russian missile barrage on Ukraine city kills 18 Rescuers were removing mountains of rubble from the site of a lethal Russian missile strike on Ukraine's historic city of Chernigiv, where at least 18 people were killed in an attack that has prompted fresh pleas for allies to boost Kiev's overstretched air defence systems. Three Russian missiles hit the northern Ukrainian city, causing casualties and prompting rescue efforts to find survivors and assist the wounded. *) Columbia university president pushes back over allegations of anti-Semitism Four months after a heated hearing in Congress caused two Ivy League presidents to step down, Columbia University's president faced the same committee. Columbia President Nemat Shafik strongly condemned anti-Semitism at her campus, rejecting accusations that she's allowed Columbia to become a centre of hate. The Columbia university president said the school suspended 15 students and took disciplinary action against several faculty members. And finally… *) Thousands evacuated as Indonesia volcano erupts Indonesian rescuers raced to evacuate thousands of people after a volcano erupted five times, forcing authorities to close a nearby airport and issue a warning about falling debris that could cause a tsunami. The volcano in Indonesia's outermost region was still billowing a column of smoke, prompting authorities to shut the nearest international airport in Manado city on Sulawesi island for 24 hours.

Around the world, gender diversity isn't the exception; it's fairly common. It's also not a new invention. Many indigenous societies have long recognized a wide variety of gender expressions, and given leadership roles in spiritual life to gender fluid people. And while colonization has often influenced gender norms, leading to discrimination and violence, many of these traditions are still very much alive. Join Dave as he explores the history, present, and future of life beyond the binary. Episode Guests: Dr. Sharyn Graham Davies is Director of the Herb Feith Indonesia Engagement Centre at Monash University. Her research focuses on gender, sexuality and health in the Asia-Pacific region. Read more about her work among the Bugis community of Sulawesi here. Marca Cassity is an enrolled citizen of the Osage Nation and a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in LGBTQ and Native American trauma. A songwriter, performing under the non-binary version of their name Marx Cassity, their forthcoming album, which can be heard throughout this episode, is steeped in themes of queer and indigenous visibility and resilience. This episode also benefited from the research of historian Gregory D. Smithers. We highly recommend his book: Reclaiming Two-Spirits: Sexuality, Spiritual Renewal & Sovereignty in Native America. This episode mentions some forms of violence and trauma, and discusses the existence of ideas and terms that could bring up painful issues for many gender nonconforming people. If you or someone you know is struggling with notions of self-harm or suicidal ideation, please reach out for help. A list of resources for LGBTQ2S people is available here.

Cet épisode est une rediffusion de Petit Poisson deviendra Podcast. C'est l'un des 4 petits frères de Baleine sous Gravillon. PPDP révèle l'étonnante origine des noms du monde vivant. _______ Tout l'univers BSG : https://baleinesousgravillon.com/liens-2 Nomen :https://bit.ly/smartlink_PPDP _______ Enteroctopus dolfleini, la pieuvre géante du Pacifique, est la plus grosse de la famille (octopodes). Elle peut atteindre jusqu'à 9 m de long, pour un poids moyen d'une quarantaine de kilos. Inféodée aux eaux froides du Pacifique, cette espèce pourrait avoir inspiré le mythe du Kraken, bien qu'elle soit, comme toutes ses cousines, très peu agressive. Les Poulpes (tout comme les Seiches et les Calmars) sont capables de modifier leur couleur et la texture de leur peau de façon spectaculaire, faisant apparaître à volonté tubercules, tâches de couleurs ou contrastes clairs/sombres. Ces changements sont contrôlés par l'influx nerveux, ce qui les rend très rapides, de l'ordre du temps nécessaire pour cligner de l'œil. Cette capacité leur permet de se camoufler extrêmement rapidement, pour chasser ou fuir en mimant l'environnement. Ce mimétisme trouve son paroxysme chez une espèce vivant au large au large du Sulawesi (ex Célèbes): la pieuvre mimétique (Thaumoctopus mimicus). Cette espèce - striée en noir et blanc - a été observée imitant d'autres espèces en modifiant la position et les mouvements de ses bras. Ce ne sont pas moins de 15 animaux ainsi “copiés”, parmi lesquels Rascasses, Serpents de mer, Poisson-lion ou encore Sole… Elle peut aussi faire la morte pour échapper aux prédateurs ou pour berner ses proies ! Dernière petite pieuvre notoire: Wunderpus photogeneticus, en français la “merveilleuse pieuvre photogénique”. Elle tire son nom de sa belle couleur rouge corail veiné de blanc et de son allure svelte, ainsi qu'aux petites cornes qui surmontent les yeux de cette vamp des océans. _______ La série Céphalopodes dans Baleine sous Gravillon : https://bit.ly/cephalopodes1_BSG https://bit.ly/cephalopodes2_BSG Dans Petit Poisson deviendra Podcast, le frérot aquatique de BSG : Y'a un os … ou pas ?

Happy Groundhog Day, if you are in the United States! But seriously, after nearly three months of researching, recording, editing, and fighting off the challenges that kept me from working on the podcast, Episode 125 is now available! Today we take a close look at Sulawesi, the largest Indonesian island between Borneo and New Guinea. To compensate for the long time you waited, this is the longest episode I have made so far, at one hour and 23 minutes. So grab some refreshment (food or a drink), get comfortable, listen and enjoy!Do you think you would like to become a podcaster on Blubrry? Click here for the details on joining.
