El advenimiento y el curso del pastoralismo en los kalahari
Resumen
La agricultura y el pastoreo en el Kalahari comenzaron mucho antes de lo que se creía anteriormente, con evidencia que muestra el pastoralismo y la metalurgia desde el año 500 d.C. Esta visión revisada impacta la comprensión antropológica y la política para los pueblos del Kalahari.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Arqueología Arqueología.
- La Antropología Antropología Antropología.
- Los estudios africanos son los estudios de África.
Sus antecedentes:
- Las opiniones tradicionales postularon una introducción tardía de la agricultura y el pastoreo en el Kalahari.
- La región fue considerada una reserva a largo plazo para los pueblos forrajeros, a menudo denominados "bosquimanos".
Objetivo del estudio:
- Revisar la línea de tiempo de las actividades económicas en el Kalahari.
- Investigar los orígenes y el desarrollo del agropastoralismo y el comercio en la región.
Principales métodos:
- Análisis de hallazgos arqueológicos.
- Interpretación de pruebas lingüísticas.
- Revisión de los registros históricos.
Principales resultados:
- El pastoralismo y la metalurgia se establecieron en el año 500 d.C.
- La agricultura extensiva de granos y el comercio hacia el año 800 d.C.
- La evidencia apoya las economías mixtas que persisten en el presente.
Conclusiones:
- Desafía la noción de que el Kalahari es únicamente una zona de introducción reciente para la agricultura y el pastoreo.
- Destaca la profunda historia de las economías complejas en el Kalahari.
- Informa sobre las teorías y políticas antropológicas para las poblaciones contemporáneas del Kalahari.

Migration
Migration is long-range, seasonal movement from one region or habitat to another. This common strategy, carried out by many different organisms around the world, is an adaptive response that typically corresponds to changes in an organism’s environment, like resource availability or climate. Migrations can involve huge groups of thousands of animals as well as single individuals traveling alone and can range from thousands of kilometers to just a few hundred meters.
Optimal Foraging
How animals obtain and eat their food is called foraging behavior. Foraging can include searching for plants and hunting for prey and depends on the species and environment.
What is Evolutionary History?
Scientists record evolutionary history by analyzing fossil, morphological, and genetic data. The fossil record documents the history of life on Earth and provides evidence for evolution. However, both fossil and living organisms offer evidence that outlines Earth’s evolutionary history.Phylogenetic trees illustrate the evolutionary relationships among these organisms. Scientists infer organisms’ common ancestry by evaluating shared morphological and genetic characteristics. Together, the fossil...
Ecological Succession
Ecological succession is influenced by the processes of facilitation, inhibition, and toleration. Facilitation occurs when early successional species create more favorable ecological conditions for subsequent species, such as enhanced nutrient, water, or light availability. In contrast, inhibition happens when early successional species create unfavorable ecological conditions for potential successive species, such as limiting resource availability. In some cases, later successional species...
The Calvin Cycle
OverviewOxygenic photosynthesis plays a central role in the global carbon and oxygen cycles. The carbohydrates produced support nearly all food webs, while the oxygen by‑product enables aerobic life.Light‑dependent and light‑independent reactionsPhotosynthesis occurs in two main stages, each in a different part of the chloroplast: light‑dependent reactions and light‑independent reactions, also called the Calvin‑Benson cycle or simply the Calvin cycle.Light‑dependent reactions take place in the...
The Calvin Benson Cycle
Ribulose 1,5- bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCo) is a critical enzyme that catalyzes carbon dioxide assimilation during photosynthesis. However, it is an inefficient enzyme, having an extremely slow catalytic rate. A typical enzyme can process about a thousand molecules per second; however, RuBisCo fixes only around three-carbon dioxides per second. Photosynthetic cells compensate for this slow rate by synthesizing very high amounts of RuBisCo, making it the most abundant single...
