The adaptive nature of culture. A cross-cultural analysis of the returns of Local Environmental Knowledge in three indigenous societies

Description
Researchers debate the role of culture in shaping human adaptive strategy. Some researchers suggest that the behavioural adaptations that explain the success of our species are partially cultural, i.e., cumulative and transmitted by social learning. Others find that cultural knowledge has often resulted in maladaptive practices, loss of technologies, and societies collapse. Despite the importance of the debate, we lack empirical, comparative, research on the mechanisms through which culture might shape human adaptation. I will collect real world data to test a pathway through which cultural knowledge might enhance human adaptive strategy: the individual returns to culturally evolved and environment-specific knowledge. I will direct two post-docs and four PhD students who will collect six sets of comparable panel data in three foraging societies: the Tsimane (Amazon), the Baka (Congo Basin), and the Penan (Borneo). I will use a culturally-specific but cross-culturally comparative method to assess individual local knowledge related to 1) wild edibles; 2) medicine; 3) agriculture; and 4) weather forecast. I will analyze data using instrumental variables to get rigorous estimates of the returns to knowledge on a) own and offsprings health and b) nutritional status, and c) farming and d) foraging productivity. Data would allow me to make generalizations on 1) the returns to local environmental knowledge and 2) the conditions under which locally developed knowledge is adaptive or ceases to be so. The ground-breaking nature of this study lies in its explicit attempt to use empirical data and a cross-cultural framework to provide a first test of the adaptive nature of culturally transmitted information, and to do so by linking cultural knowledge to individual outcomes.

La gestion des frontières en Libye

Authors Delphine PERRIN
Description
(EN)Libya is situated at a cultural and geopolitical crossroads with its roots in the Sahara, Mediterranean, Machrek and Maghreb. Its long borders are the result of a rich and eventful history. Here the Libyan borders are specifically examined from Colonel Kadhafi’s rise to power in 1969. The new head of State was to situate borders at the core of his foreign policy, be that policy pan Arabism or pan Africanism. And despite the failure of attempts at union with neighbours and Tripoli’s isolation from the international community, Kadhafi has continued to call for the overturning of borders and states. At present, the migratory issue, subjected to new diplomatic dilemmas, is juggled together with the political idea of the free movement of persons and the need for control over territorial limits. And though still managed chaotically migration policy is, in the stream of rapprochement with the EU, nevertheless going through a rationalization phase, particularly as far as border management is concerned. (FR)Située à un carrefour géopolitique et culturel, plongeant ses racines dans le Sahara, la Méditerranée, le Machrek et le Maghreb, la Libye est dotée de frontières longues issues d’une histoire riche et mouvementée. Les limites libyennes sont abordées de manière spécifique depuis l’arrivée au pouvoir du Colonel Kadhafi en 1969, qui les place au coeur de sa politique extérieure orientée vers le panarabisme puis le panafricanisme. Malgré l’échec des tentatives d’union avec ses voisins puis l’isolement de Tripoli sur la scène internationale, Kadhafi maintient une diatribe valorisant le dépassement des frontières et des Etats. La question migratoire, confrontée aujourd’hui à de nouveaux enjeux diplomatiques, est soumise à une approche acrobatique tiraillée entre la proclamation de la liberté de circulation des personnes et la recherche d’une maîtrise des limites territoriales. Toujours gérée de manière chaotique, elle semble faire actuellement l’objet d’une certaine rationalisation, notamment dans ses aspects liés à la gestion des frontières, dans le cadre d’un rapprochement avec l’Union européenne.
