Aux approches de la soixantaine, on n’est pas toujours plus sage qu’à vingtans — Marc Bloch

Es eine Ungerechtigkeit ist, daß damit auch die Männer keine Erwähnung finden, welche sich dadurch, daß sie sich auf Lehre und Erziehung beschränkten, gar nicht selten ein sehr viel höheres Verdienst erwarben, als mancher, der ein Scherflein zur Wissenschaft beitrug — U. von Wilamowitz-Moellendorf

Recent Scherflein: “Remains of the Day: Unfreedom in Ancient Greece” Philosophy, Politics and Critique 1.2, 2024, 165–184.

Here is the abstract:

What has the social, political, and economic organization of human groups been like over the last 5–7 million years (i.e., the amount of time since we last shared a common ancestor with our closet great-ape relatives, chimpanzees and bonobos)? In this talk, I explain the types of evidence that are standardly brought to bear in attempting to answer these questions, and give my take on what our current state of knowledge is. I also explain why the answers we provide to these questions are of such fundamental importance to the project of understanding the broader evolution of our species (e.g., our cognitive uniqueness). In particular, I will pay special attention to: (i) the evolution of forager egalitarianism (which contrasts strongly with the dominance hierarchies that govern the lifeways of other primates); and (ii) the evolution of “open” societies amongst forager peoples, that is, groups with (somewhat) fluid social boundaries (which, again, makes for another super salient contrast with lifeways of other primates). Finally, I will explain how these developments transformed the face of human cooperation and cultural evolution.

Best wishes,
Tristan
