Childbirth: Why So Difficult? - North Coast Journal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The “obstetrical dilemma” was born, so to speak, in 1960, not in a medical journal, but in the pages of Scientific American magazine. There, anthropologist Sherwood Washburn proposed that the ease with which most non-human primates give birth when compared to humans comes down to bipedalism. While a mother-to-be great ape will seek seclusion to give birth easily and quickly in solitude, human birth is typically complicated and painful, takes hours and generally needs assistance. Washburn’s hypot
An Etruscan Venus and the Patriarchy - North Coast Journal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Patriarchy has tried to erase imagery of the feminine since time immemorial. Destroy the image and you can control the narrative.” — Syreeta McFadden, The Guardian U.S., April 13, 2015 Almost life-sized, the “Venus of Cannicella” looks out at us from behind her protective transparent cylinder in an archeological museum in the town of Orvieto, Umbria, Italy. Dated to around 500 BC, and found in 1884 in a neighboring Etruscan necropolis, she’s an anomaly in several ways. For instance, unlike virt
Revisiting the Whorf Hypothesis, Part 2 - North Coast Journal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis says that if you immerse yourself in another language, you can rewire your brain.” — Jeremy Renner’s character in Arrival Last week, I discussed the strong and weak versions of the Whorf Hypothesis. The former claims that one’s native language determines our worldview, to the point where we’re unable to think thoughts not embraced by our language. The latter takes the more sober view that one’s language influences, but doesn’t limit, our thoughts and perceptions. I de
Revisiting the Whorf Hypothesis, Part 1 - North Coast Journal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“The Hopi language is seen to contain no words, grammatical forms, construction or expressions that refer directly to what we call ‘time,’ or to past, present or future.”— Benjamin Lee Whorf Early in this column’s existence, I took a rather superficial look at what’s come to be known as the Whorf Hypothesis (“The Whorf Hypothesis,” Oct. 7, 2010) which, in a nutshell, claims that our Native language influences — or even determines — our view of the world. At that time, I failed to make a distinct
The Purloined Letter - North Coast Journal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“The fish is the last to see the water.” — Anthropologist Ruth Benedict Our lives are filled with obvious phenomena that sit right in front of our noses (sometimes literally), yet we often miss seeing them at all. I call it Purloined LetterSyndrome, after Edgar Allen Poe’s 1845 short story of that name. Synopsis: If the letter in question becomes public, tragic consequences could result for the French royal family. The letter is known to have been stolen by a government minister and is believed
