 his region\, gradually transforming it from a culturally alien frontie

SUMMARY:Nature’s Greatest Success
DTSTART:20251204T223000Z
DTEND:20251205T001500Z
DESCRIPTION:The domestication of plants in prehistory allowed humanity
  to demographically expand\, form dense population congregations (urba
 nism and social hierarchies)\, and advance the arts and sciences. For 
 millennia\, humans drove the evolution of domestication traits in crop
 s and animals. Archaeologists\, ecologists\, and geneticists are all w
 orking to develop new theories about how domestication in antiquity oc
 curred\; one of these theories  – the ecological release hypothesis 
 – suggests that crops and animals evolved traits of domestication as
  a response to humans simply removing predators and herbivores. Dr. Sp
 engler will briefly explore a few key themes in this theory and the ri
 ch history of domestication and culture\, which he traces in his recen
 t book\, Nature's Greatest Success: How Plants evolved to Exploit Huma
 nity.

 1000 BCE\, to the monumentalization of part of its acropolis ca. 100 C
 E. Emphasis is placed on the rich finds from settlement and burial are
 as of the 7th to 5th centuries BCE\, which generate exceptional insigh

 \, and raise important methodological issues over the archaeological v

SUMMARY:UPDATED: Imperial Religious Politics\, Local Administration\, and Individual Participation: Lived Religion Between Polytheism and Monotheism in the Ancient Near East
DTSTART:20260225T180000Z
DTEND:20260225T190000Z
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: The time and format for this lecture have been updat
 ed as a result of blizzard conditions in New York. This lecture will t
 ake place at 1pm (Eastern Time) on Zoom. Registration is required\; cl
 ick through for the registration link.  In my talk I am going to argue
  that the rise of so-called monotheistic religions begins nearly five 
 hundred years before the Common Era and that individual identity and s
 elf-definition in relation to the social community – human and divin
 e – was primarily a process of experience and lived practice in part
 icular social political\, economic\, and religious settings. It is the
  collapse of these settings that paved the way for the emergence of ne
 w forms of religiosity.
