The evolution of human intelligence
The human body is a biological construction founded on the physical manifestation of the biological being, in which its cultural identity is a variable in continuous transformation subjected to the evolution of the intelligences. This article asks and answers a series of questions: what have been the procedures, the stimuli, and the mechanisms that have lead to the evolution of human intelligence? why has the increase in the quantity of cerebral material advanced, and how many rearrangements have come about in the organisation of the encephalon in the transition from Homo habilis to Homo sapiens? Can we reconstruct them? Is today’s situation stable, or will it be subject to further future differentiations? During his evolutionary process, man becomes revertebrated, he intervenes and changes the environment to his own advantage, but how many times has he redesigned his post-evolutionary strategies and split the species? What weight has education had in the process of coexistence among living systems, and to what extent can the intelligence be motivated by an education and a culture that are equal to their task?
Histories of Women's Work in Global Sport
Sport has never been a man’s world. As this volume shows, women have served key roles not only as athletes and spectators, but as administrators, workers, decision-makers, and leaders in sporting organizations around the world. Contributors excavate scarce archival material to uncover histories of women’s work in sport, from swimming teachers in nineteenth-century England to national sports administrators in twentieth-century Côte d’Ivoire, and many places in between. Their work has been varied, holding roles as teachers, wives, and secretaries in sporting contexts around the world, often with diplomatic functions—including at the 1968 and 1992 Olympic Games. Finally, this collection shows how gender initiatives have developed in sporting institutions in Europe and international sport federations today. With a foreword by Grégory Quin and afterword by Anaïs Bohuon, this is a pioneering study into gender and women’s work in global sport.
Playing golf lengthens your life
Practising sport stimulates cerebral activity. In children and adolescents, coordinated movement is the fruit of complex neuromotor programming that is defined as “bodily intelligence.” In the adult, physical activity combats and reduces cerebrovascular diseases, and maintains muscle tone and bone strength. This article comments upon research published in the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports in 2009, a study reporting that playing golf reduces the death rate for all causes by 40% compared to the life expectancy of a sedentary person. The natural environment free of irritating noise, walking on turf, the predominance of the colour green, the average duration of the gam...
The Regression Clause of iGen
Today the regression clause of iGen comes from a number of elements, including the “lack of cultural capital”, because of a kind of human habit to live suspended between a real and virtual world. The forgetfulness of the real body also produces fallout series on mental health up to cause behavioral cognitive disorders. The identity of the human race is aware of mutual recognition among the living, but only individuals who possess the moral sense are able to share and understand this meaning. The identity is constructed through the recognition of the other (Galimberti U., 2007, p. 33). Europe will see more and more prevailing Metissage, but the integration meets a weak resilience in parti...
Training future astronauts to space climate
The Universe is full of stars, and each star has at least one planet, the astrophysicists seek water and life in the cosmos. Long periods spent in the cosmos do not have the tempo of life, they are monotonous. The human brain and sensory systems are adapted to the categories of time and space in which they live normally. The philosophical categories of space and time do not exist in the cosmos, they are unique, because contraria sunt complementa. In Karl Jaspers’ view, the Existing is not in fact located in time and space, simply there is; being: da sein. The temporal planes are intertwined to lose their characteristic of continuity. In the long term, the cosmic climate produces a sense of...
International Sport
There has been an explosion in the quantity of sports history literature published in recent years, making it increasingly difficult to keep abreast of developments. The annual number of publications has increased from around 250 to 1,000 a year over the last decade. This is due in part to the fact that during the late 1980s and 90s, many clubs, leagues and governing bodies of sport have celebrated their centenaries and produced histories to mark this occasion and commemorate their achievements. It is also the result of the growing popularity and realisation of the importance of sport history research within academe. This international bibliography of books, articles, conference proceedings and essays in the English language is a one-stop for the sports historian to know what is new.
Women, Sport, Society
During the last four decades women’s and gender history have become vibrant fields including studies of attitudes regarding the limited physical and other abilities of females as well as studies of the accomplishments of notable female athletes. We have become increasingly aware that women have made contributions to physical education, dance and sport that go far beyond being teachers, athletes and coaches. They have created and implemented an astonishing variety of programs intended to serve the needs of large numbers of children and youth sometimes organizing student health services, as well as chairing departments of physical education. They have worked as directors of sport, physical e...
L'evoluzione umana dalla Terra a Marte
Questo volume è un’indagine sull’uomo. La selezione naturale promuove dei cambiamenti in cui gruppi di organismi della stessa specie si evolvono e il processo conduce alla speciazione. Ma l’evoluzione della vita potrebbe non essere infinita, la vita del Sole avrà una fine, questa stella perderà la sua massa e diminuirà la sua forza di attrazione sulla Terra, che di conseguenza si allontanerà. La vita terrestre è quindi destinata all’estinzione, ma il Sole non è il solo elemento che condiziona la permanenza della specie umana sulla Terra: esistono altre minacce concrete, come la caduta di un asteroide. Questo quadro disarmante accadrà fra circa 4 miliardi di anni, periodo in c...
