What are the differences (and similarities) in what the ritual actors hope to receive as benefit?

Culture of Southeast Asia

Both Paradise of the Blind (set in the war years) and Goddess on the Rise, (describing the post war years) describe ritual actions involving food offerings. In Paradise, both Que and Aunt Tam – in their own ways – provide food “offerings” to the narrator as a sort of “worship” of the family; in Goddess, entrepreneurs make sacrifice to “goddesses” in hopes of market success.

In both cases, there is a lot of ambivalence about the practice. Compare these two types of food offering and ritual “exchange,” – what are the differences (and similarities) in what the ritual actors hope to receive as benefit? Do you think the difference has to do with a shift in ideology following the war? Or does it have to do with differences in the goals of act? What is the role of gender in both cases? Make an argument and give evidence for your claims..

What differences do you see? In particular, pay attention to the last lumbar vertebra.

Comparative Anatomy of the Axial Skeleton, Arm, and Hand

Use eSkeletons to compare the lumbar vertebrae of great apes and modern humans.

What differences do you see? In particular, pay attention to the last lumbar vertebra.

Which specimen displays a vertebral body that significantly shortens posteriorly? This anteroposterior “wedging” is a distinct feature of modern humans and helps maintain the lumbar lordosis. What behavior is the L5 “wedging” most-likely related to?

Compare the overall curvature of the modern human and great ape vertebral column. What differences do you see? If early hominins had an L5 similar to modern humans, what would you estimate the vertebral column to look like in these animals?

Compare the overall shape of the modern human and great ape rib cages. Which of these thoracic shapes is seen in early hominin specimens such as A. afarensis (“Lucy”)? Why, in part, does thoracic shape differ between great apes and modern humans?

Below is a reconstruction of the glenoid fossa in an early hominin (Australopithecus afarensis, “Lucy”). Compare the orientation of the glenoid fossa in a modern human, great ape, and early hominin. What differences do you see? Is the early hominin glenoid fossa more similar to modern humans or African apes?
