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.

19,000 to 11,700 years ago ... In the Himalayan foothills of Thailand and the southern islands of Wallacea, the adoption of new funerary rituals, ornaments, and tools by hunter gatherer societies coincided with global warming and large human migrations.Support the show

In this episode of The Think Wildlife Podcast, I interview Dr. Tim Coles. Across his decorated conservation career, Tim has established two highly successful, self-sustaining conservation enterprises. These are Operation Wallacea and rePLANET.Operation Wallacea is a network of academics from European and North American universities, who design and implement biodiversity and conservation management research expeditions. rePLANET aims to restore and conserve landscapes by generating private sector funding through the voluntary carbon and biodiversity credit market.  60% of the final price of any carbon or biodiversity credit sold from our projects returns to benefit local stakeholders. In this episode, we talk about the importance of mangroves, academia, and livelihoods in conservation and nature-based solutions. Tim also elaborates on his illustrious career and the work being done by his two organizations. This is a public episode.

fWotD Episode 2638: Great cuckoo-dove Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 25 July 2024 is Great cuckoo-dove.The great cuckoo-dove (Reinwardtoena reinwardti) is a species of bird in the pigeon family, Columbidae. First described by the Dutch zoologist Coenraad Jacob Temminck in 1824, it is found on New Guinea, several surrounding islands, and Wallacea, where it mainly inhabits primary forest and forest edge. It is a large, distinctive pigeon, with a length of 47.5–52.5 cm (18.7–20.7 in) and a weight of 208–305 g (7.3–10.8 oz). In adults, the head, neck, and breast are whitish or blue-grey, the underparts are pale bluish-grey, the upperparts are chestnut-brown, and the outer wings are black. Females differ from males in having more yellowish irises and duller orbital skin. Juveniles are mainly dull grey-brown, with dirty-white throats and bellies.The species feeds on fruit and seeds. It is usually seen alone or in pairs, but forms flocks with other frugivorous birds at fruit trees. It is known to defend fruiting shrubs it is feeding on, an uncommon foraging behaviour among birds. Breeding occurs throughout the year and varies in different parts of its range, seemingly peaking from October to December on New Guinea. Nests are flat or slightly concave platforms made of sticks, moss, roots, and ferns, and contain a single white egg. The species is classified as being of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature due to its sufficiently large range and stable population.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:56 UTC on Thursday, 25 July 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Great cuckoo-dove on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Matthew.

Our experiences of the world are diverse, often changing as we move across borders from one country to another. They can also vary based on language or subtle shifts in climate. Yet, we rarely consider what causes these differences and divisions. In this episode we speak to geographer Maxim Samson at De Paul University in the US about the unseen boundaries that can shape our collective and personal perceptions of the world – what he calls "invisible lines".This episode was written and produced by Mend Mariwany with assistance from Katie Flood. Eloise Stevens does our sound design, and our theme music is by Neeta Sarl. Gemma Ware is the executive producer. Full credits available here. A transcript will be available shortly.

Do you wake up to early morning Twitter? Not the app that interrupts your sleep and haunts your dreams but the sweet dulcet tones of summer birds. Birdsong, the background score that heralds tropical jungles, urban parks and gardens, and wilderness. This episode will take you to the land of the vividly coloured and luminescent sunbirds in Wallacea. But do all birds sing? Not all. This may seem unbelievable but only some birds have the anatomy to enable them to do so. In this podcast Fionn Ó Marcaigh from Trinity College Dublin takes us on a journey through the melodies of songbirds.

Originally from the US, Sophia Wood is a political scientist turned tech entrepreneur, ghost writer, VC, and now leads a tourism company dedicated to boosting conservation in emerging markets as CEO of Friends of Wallacea.Sophia's journey from the US to Africa to Latin America shows what a determined, smart, principled person can do across multiple industries very quickly. Listen to this episode to hear how Sophia decided to start a company in Latin America, how she broke into VC, what she learned while working with Magma and how she uses it today to lead a high impact conservation company.Sophia's leap into Latin America's startup ecosystemWhile Sophia was in university, she decided to spend a year studying abroad in Santiago, Chile, which is where her Latin American journey began. After a failed attempt to create and sustain a startup as 21 years old, and working with Operation Wallacea in Fiji and Ecuador, she took a job at Magma Partners as a part time content writer.What started as a short term project turned into cofounding Latamlist.com, joining the Magma investment team and making investment decisions and helping early stage Latin American startups. m. As a writer, she learned why content and writing is important for starutps, how to communicate the “why” of a tech startup and more. Check out this episode of Crossing Borders to learn about how Sophia became more comfortable taking risks after starting a startup and during her time at MagmaWhy creating accessible and useful content is key for a startup's growthSophia believes that its critical for startups to create content to help them expand and get their message across. After writing for me, Magma, Latamlist and other startups, Sophia shares her recommendations for successful writing. Articles about tech startups tend to be overly technical and sometimes wordy, and Sophia recommends taking a different approach. Instead, startups should communicate directly and share only the important, interesting parts of the story. Startups should ask themselves: why might people come to my website? What problem is my startup trying to solve? What can I teach people who read my articles? What do they care about? Founders should consistently publish content because it is key when creating organic thought leadership in an area, and writers can work alongside a startup's CEO or other experts to push content forward.Listen to this episode of Crossing Borders to understand why Sophia believes good content can help make customers trust you. Indigenous communities at the forefront of conservationAfter working with Magma, Sophia decided she needed to make an even bigger impact by working in conservation. Indigenous communities are protecting up to 80% of the world's remaining biodiversity, but are rarely provided with the resources they need to do so. The companies and organizations that do have resources sometimes apply conservation practices that do more harm than good. Sophia gives as an example the efforts of reforestation, where in many cases it is done with non-native species that do nothing to benefit the land. With a focus on providing resources to communities that know best how to conserve their own land, Friends of Wallacea boosts local incomes by offering novel wildlife tours. Learn more about how Friends of Wallacea partners with local communities for conservation that has a long-term impact.Outline of this episode:[02:21] - Sophia's work at Friends of Wallacea.[03:23] - Responsible conservation of wildlife.[06:40] - Sophia's background.[10:15] - Lessons learned on creating a startup at 21 [11:52] - Journey with Magma Partners.[16:18] - Sophia's writing process.[20:41] - The importance of good content.[25:25] - Accessible communication about the startup world[26:27] - Creating organic thought leadership.[32:49] - Top lessons learned with Magma Partners and LatamlistResources & people mentioned:Sophia WoodNathan LustigMagma PartnersFriends of Wallacea

Gara Trujillo ran Opwall's Galapagos site in 2019. She recently completed an Erasmus Master's program in Environmental Sciences, Policy, and Management while traveling across Greece, Hungary, and Sweden. As an ecologist, Gara has worked in the Amazon rainforest in Peru, in coastal Greece, and in the Galapagos Islands with Opwall. This episode was recorded in early 2021 when she was still completing her graduate program. Gara is now interviewing at WWF Sweden. In this joint episode you will also hear Gara interview Sophia Wood about our site in the Ecuadorian Amazon and how it is evolved since she started managing the project in 2018. Sophia had her start with Operation Wallacea in 2017 while helping set up the Fiji project fresh out of university. After a brief stint in venture capital and start-ups in Latin America, she dove into conservation full-time with Opwall in 2019 to run Friends of Wallacea, Opwall's tourism arm, and to continue to develop conservation projects alongside indigenous communities across the region. In this episode, we cover what life is really like in the Amazonian rainforest, how travelers can leave a positive impact when they travel, and how scientific research fits into local tourism and conservation efforts.

If Alfred Russell Wallace (1823- 1913) is thought of at all, he is an after-thought to his far more famous counterpart Charles Darwin and the theory of natural selection. However, he has also had an impact in other fields. Today, we'll be exploring the Wallace Line and Wallace's contribution to zoogeography. Sources for this episode: 1) Cain, M. L., Bowman, W.

Cristi Gherghiceanu is the executive president of Fundatia ADEPT, a Romanian non-profit dedicated to protecting Transylvanian biodiversity and traditional agriculture through innovation and education. ADEPT partnered with Opwall to set up our projects in Transylvania, and have deepened the relationship by working with Friends of Wallacea to set up the Angofa Wildlife Centre in a house they restored to fund conservation in Romania year-round. Cristi himself studied IT, economics, and accounting before becoming passionate about rural development. Growing up in Transylvania, he came to understand the local heritage that makes this region so special and ecologically important, and was moved to use his skills to oversee the daily operates of Fundatia ADEPT to provide value to those conserving traditional lifestyles in Transylvania. In this episode, we discuss why ADEPT was created to protect Transylvania, how to conserve natural and cultural heritage, and what the world can learn from this very special place.

Originally from Sighisoara, Madalina Marian is a proud advocate of Transylvanian heritage, nature, and culture. She grew up foraging in the hilltop forests, keeping an eye out for bears and chasing butterflies in Transylvania's wildflower meadows, which inspired her passion for biology. She went on to study biology in university and during that time she also worked three summers with Opwall teams as a guide, translator, and survey leader, becoming familiar with the unique ecology of her local area. Upon graduating, Madalina knew she wanted to show visitors the wildlife Transylvania had to offer and founded Angofa Wildlife Tours in partnership with Friends of Wallacea, Opwall's tourism arm. Based at the beautifully restored Angofa Wildlife Centre, Madalina leads tours to view bears, birds, and other wildlife, as well as hosting dinners and lectures that support conservation efforts in Transylvania. In this episode, we discuss what makes Transylvania so special, and why she thinks people should come visit and learn from Romanian conservation to protect wildlife in harmony with human livelihoods.

Sophia Wood is passionate about wildlife conservation and harnessing the power of technology to empower communities to conserve and sustainably manage their land. She is the CEO of Friends of Wallacea, a for-profit eco-tourism company that partners with rural and indigenous communities to develop wildlife tourism and incentivize the conservation of global biodiversity hotspots. She is also a member of the Amazon Investor Coalition, a Venture Partner with Magma Partners, and the Ecuador Country Manager of Operation Wallacea where she is responsible for overseeing every aspect of the logistics, operations, and management of the Operation Wallacea Ecuador site. Sophia joins me today to share her passion for conserving the wildlife and Amazon rainforest. We discuss how she launched her tourism business mere weeks before the COVID-19 pandemic took the world by storm and the challenges she faced along the way. She shares how working in the Amazon rainforest has helped her learn to become comfortable with the unknown, what regenerative tourism is, and why the motto: “Leave it better than you came” is the driving force behind Friends of Wallacea. She also explains how she discovered the Amazon Investor Coalition and how they are helping investors, philanthropists, governments, and nonprofits connect and collaborate to ‘ensure the forest is worth more standing than cut down.' “The idea behind ‘regenerative tourism' is that not only is it sustainable, but regenerate is to leave it better than you came.” - Sophia Wood This week on Shift-Starters: Asking for what you want versus asking for what you think you can get How Sophia launched her tourism business shortly before the COVID pandemic struck and the challenges she faced along the way Why Sophia loves working in the Amazon rainforest for 3 months every year, despite the rainy weather, and how it has helped her learn to be comfortable with the unknown What ecotourism is and the mission of Friends of Wallacea How Friends of Wallacea's tourism operations helps indigenous communities while promoting wildlife conservation and regeneration The role Sophia plays in the Amazon Investor Coalition The legacy Sophia hopes to leave behind Connect with Sophia Wood: Friends of Wallacea Amazon Investor Coalition Book: The Woodpecker's Red Head Friends of Wallacea on LinkedIn Friends of Wallacea on Instagram Friends of Wallacea on Facebook Friends of Wallacea on Twitter Sophia Wood on Medium Sophia Wood on LinkedIn Sophia Wood on Twitter Let's Start Some Shift!

Penemuan ini mengguncang komunitas peneliti arkeologi dan paleontologi saat pertama kali ditemukan. Selain ukuran bagian tubuhnya yang cukup kecil dengan karakter biologis yang bahkan lebih purba dari Homo erectus, sisa Homo floresiensis ini juga ditemukan di kepulauan Indonesia tengah atau “Wallacea” - daerah perairan dalam yang terisolasi oleh arus laut yang kuat sehingga sangat menyulitkan migrasi manusia purba dari barat maupun timur. Bagaimana cerita seru penemuannya di Flores, dan bagaimana penemuan si ‘Hobbit’ ini mengubah wawasan kita tentang pola evolusi dan migrasi manusia?

Koleksi serangga di Museum Sejarah Alam London yang dikumpulkan oleh Alfred Russel Wallace dari nusantara pada abad ke-19. Ileana_bt/ShutterstockKeanekaragaman hayati di Indonesia bagian tengah, yang dikenal sebagai kawasan Wallacea, mengukuhkan bahwa bumi nusantara adalah laboratorium hidup terbaik untuk mempelajari evolusi di dunia. Kawasan tersebut terkenal setelah naturalis Inggris Alfred Russel Wallace menjelajah di kawasan tersebut pada abad ke-19. Dia membawa sekitar 125 ribu spesimen sejarah alam yang terdiri dari serangga, burung, reptil, kerang, dan mamalia ke Inggris. Dari penjelajahan itu lahir karya Wallace yang terkenal, The Malay Archipelago. Sebelum menulis buku tersebut, dia menulis esai hampir 15 halaman di Ternate yang dikirim ke rumah Charles Darwin di Inggris. Isinya bikin kaget, karena hampir sama dengan apa yang ada di pikiran Darwin—sebuah teori yang sudah digodog dua puluhan tahun: Teori Evolusi. Jatna Supriatna, naturalis terkemuka dari Universitas Indonesia, menyatakan hanya di Sulawesi terjadi hibridisasi binatang. Syahdan 50 ribu tahun yang lalu nenek moyang beruk hitam hijrah dari Kalimantan ke Sulawesi. Tapi perubahan alam di Sulawesi menyebabkan spesies ini terpisah dan menjadi dua spesies baru Macaca tonkeana yang hidup di sebelah utara Sulawesi dan Macaca Maurus yang hidup di sebelah selatan. Penelitian ekstensif Jatna membuktikan kedua spesies itu kembali menyatu dan membentuk spesies baru, seiring dengan perubahan lingkungan mereka. Inilah yang disebut Hibridisasi. Dan ada di Sulawesi!

One of the areas of the world with the widest range of endemic biodiversity remains virtually unknown to many people. Known as Wallacea, it is located in the coral triangle, and includes a group of mainly Indonesian islands. It is home to many unique species both above and below the water. Much of this habitat and the oceans surrounding these areas is increasingly under threat of destruction. This film, which is a short version of “Life on Wallace’s Line”, highlights the biodiversity found in the oceans of Wallacea and the coral triangle, and the efforts of a few individuals to protect this fragile ecosystem and its inhabitants.
