Another "words (and ideas) that caught my attention" post, apropos of the
"origins of human rule" from entry #1 below. Here are the titles of a set of
upcoming lectures at Harvard by the the political anthropologist James Scott:
Four Domestications: Fire, Plants, Animals and… Us
The Late Neolithic Multi-Species Resettlement Camp
The Long Golden Age of Barbarians, a.k.a. Non-State Peoples
Which reminds me, I need to read James Scott!
