November 20, 2020. The book under discussion is 'Human Origins: Contributions from Social Anthropology', edited by Camilla Power, Hilary Callan and Morna Finnegan. Jacob Fishel discusses Morna's Chapter 5.
So then Professor Chris Knight is discussing "female exogamy" as the assumed norm in early proto-human primate origins and Morna is challenging that with a Grandmother Effect matrilineal norm.
So Camilla Power is emphasizing that early humans were based on a female group bond - much like bonobos. Power argues that animals are "taking" energy from each other while humans are "giving" energy as the difference! How is this possible? through the alchemy of N/om of course! Meditation!
Brian was also inspired by his sister, Morna, whose poem Dare appears on the album.
“Morna is an anthropologist and she did her thesis on a hunter-gatherer society in the Congo, the Bebanzele people, where she focused on 'touch', the idea of skin on skin and how the evolution of the human species evolves around touch, the idea of sharing warmth and contact and heat.
“Then she went on to talk about the human hand and how it has 17,000 nerve endings and receptors in just the palm.,” says Brian. “Nowadays, the only thing they will hold is a smartphone or an iPad. It’s as if the human race has been corralled on to a virtual pathway as opposed to real touch, real heat, real sharing.”
Given the year we’ve had, Brian’s work was fuelled by concern for those around him and those he loves. But how do those real-life emotions transform themselves into music? Surely it would be easy for a man who has been playing since he was a boy, who has played so much that he didn’t even need to practice. Or so he thought.
So Morna is emphasizing that the Grandmother controls the healing energy in our original forest culture - and she had to be "removed" for patriarchy to develop... Her bro is a music composer

Woman the hunter: Ancient Andean remains challenge old ...

When archaeologists discovered the bones of a 9000-year-old human in a burial pit high in the Andes, they were impressed by a tool kit of 20 stone projectile points and blades stacked neatly by the person's side. All signs pointed to the discovery of a high-status hunter. "Everybody was talking about how this was a great chief, a big man," says archaeologist Randy Haas of the University of California (UC), Davis.
It shouldn't be surprising that women could hunt, Pitblado adds. "These women were living high up in the Andes, at 13,000 feet full time," she says. "If you can do that, surely you can bring down a deer."
The one lady anthropologist saying SHE identifies more as the male hunter than a female sitting back at camp taking care of the children.... Yes this exemplifies the "technofeminist" viewpoint. haha. Morna immediately CHALLENGES the technofeminist view!! haha. Good for Morna.
The Women go into TRANCE TO TRACK THE ANIMAL!! Yes Morna!! A great source on this is "Falcon" - the favorite book of Louise Erdrich - about a white male kidnapped by the Ojibwe. His "mom" goes into trance to track a bear!! I think it was a 5 day fast and then she induced trance....
Almost quantum power - is how Dr. Morna Finnegan explains the female based healing energy!

Descola’s concern in Beyond Nature and Culture is primarily with large- scale cross-cultural comparison. Observing, for example, the tendency in many societies to group phenomena based on correlations, he identifies an underlying assumption within them
of discontinuity of interiority and physicality, which he terms Analogism.
this is because the Water Phase ‘produces’ the Wood Phase and the qi-field of the person concerned will thus
benefit directly from the Water qi
The yang qi lung energy produces the yin qi....
indeed, Ma Jianglong’s mother was a ‘witch’ (巫婆 wupo), able to hear the voices of spirits and write their messages in spite of her own illiteracy.
Master Tao, for his part, was amused by the question of the separability of body (身體 shenti) and ‘soul’ (靈魂 linghun). He told me in no uncertain terms that there is no ‘soul’, reiterating that he is an atheist – like Ma Jianglong, but unlike Xiaoping, who told me he rarely visits temples but describes himself as Buddhist. Master Tao added, however, that this sort of belief,
along with attendant beliefs in spirit possession, does exist as part of Daoism (道教 daojiao)
compared the Big Bang with the idea of ‘the Limitless’ (Nielsen 2003: 253), existing prior to, and bringing into being, the ‘Supreme Ultimate’ (taiji), encompassing yin and yang (as denoted by the taiji symbol ☯). In turn, positive and negative principles were created (yang and yin), just as the Big Bang gave rise to positive and negative electrical states or charges. Yin and yang ‘continued to transform’ (繼續變化 jixu bianhua) over time, branching out into a relational
system; similarly, in physics, expressed for Xiaoping by the equation E=mc2 (also used by Ma to explain the workings of the yuanshen described above) energy and mass are mutually
On this note, also, it is worth pointing out that the ‘randomness’ in divination with which Curry associates ‘metis’ (2004b: 106) is not seen as random by the Eight Trigrams cosmologist – throwing coins does not produce a random result but depends on the current state of the cosmos, which is precisely the point of it. Unlike astrology as Curry conceives it
(2004a: 57–58), Xiaoping’s exegesis renders the question of ‘what will happen’ well within the capabilities of fate calculation, which thus bears more resemblance to the ‘scientific astrology’
Curry derides (2004b).
