Showing results for "MEN!" in Anthropology

Lewis Howes grew up as an athlete. He was a two-sport All-American and went on to play football professionally. Howes then transferred his competitive nature from sports to business, building his podcast, The School of Greatness, into a global phenomenon. But his whole identity was built on misguided beliefs about what "masculinity" was: dangerous, false ideas learned from teammates and coaches in locker rooms and stereotypes in the media. Like so many men, Howes grew up to be angry, frustrated, and always chasing something that was never enough.

We inherit mechanisms for survival from our primeval past - none so obviously as those involved in reproduction. The hormone testosterone underlies the organization of activation of masculinity: It changes the body and brain to make a male. It is involved not only in sexuality but in driving aggression, competitiveness, risk-taking - all elements that were needed for successful survival and reproduction in the past. But these ancient systems are carried forward into a modern world.

Dieses Hörbuch stellt einen übersichtlichen chronologischen Querschnitt der uns heute bekannten Entstehung und Entwicklung der menschlichen Kultur dar. Vom 5ten Jahrtausend vor Christus bis zum Jahre 2024 bewegen wir uns innerhalb eines Zeitfensters von etwa 7000 Jahren. Was manchen wie ein unglaublich langer Zeitraum erscheinen mag, ist für uns durch dieses Hörbuch ein gemütliches Dahingleiten durch die relative Ewigkeit des menschlichen Geistes. Da Künste, Religionen, Gesellschaftsformen etc. Produkte der menschlichen Kultur sind, erfahren wir gewissermaßen "fast Alles über fast Alles" ohne fast Nichts zu vergessen.

Without our domesticated plants and animals, human civilization as we know it would not exist. We would still be living at subsistence level as hunter-gatherers if not for domestication. It is no accident that the cradle of civilization - the Middle East - is where sheep, goats, pigs, cattle, and cats commenced their fatefully intimate associations with humans.

Men are commonly expected to act "masculine" (e.g., self-sufficient, stoic, strong, dependable, brave, tough, and hard-working) while avoiding stereotypically "feminine" traits (e.g., emotional expressivity, empathy, and nurturance). Few, however, realize that these qualities - when taken to the extreme - can cause emotional constriction, substance abuse, depression, aggression, and violence in many men. 

When Donald Johanson found a partial skeleton, approximately 3.5 million years old, in a remote region of Ethiopia in 1974, a headline-making controversy was launched that continues today.
