Just Scratching The Surface-Geographers And The Mining West, Rand E. Rohe

The Geographical Bulletin

Research for a doctoral dissertation on Western mining disclosed an enormous body of literature on the subject, a paucity of works by geographers, and an almost unlimited potential for such studies.' Most existing studies present and examine facts in their historical context with little or no attention to geographical interpretation.2 Yet, such analysis is essential to a full understanding of the significance of mining. Without geographic studies of mining, its perspective in the development of the West remains vague and its enduring significance to the present uncertain. While hundreds of works exist on the various gold and silver rushes, few …

Shared Culture In Intimate Relationships, Jackelyn Castaneda

College of Science and Health Theses and Dissertations

Almost everyone identifies with some kind of culture and the definition often varies among researchers and disciplines of the field. Culture has an influence on every aspect of one’s everyday life, including the role it plays in close relationships. Although intimate relationships and culture have been widely explored in psychological research, limited studies have explored how these two factors may go hand in hand in creating what may be a newer concept, a mini-culture (smaller, unique cultural groups that develop within larger societies or organizations). The purpose of this study was to explore how this awareness of culture sharing and …

Goldrush Migrations And Goldfield Populations In The American West 1848-1880, Rand E. Rohe

The Geographical Bulletin

The discovery of placer gold initiated some of the most spectacular migrations ever to occur in the American West. The discovery of gold in California in 1848, of course, touched off the first of the western mining rushes. More importantly, its backwash led to the development of the rest of the mountain West. From California, the mining frontier moved eastward and subsequently enveloped most of the West. The background of the discovery of gold in California needs but cursory attention here. On January 24, 1848, in the course of constructing a sawmill on the American River, James Marshall noticed flecks …

Enthesis Size And Hand Preference: Asymmetry In Humans Contrasts With Symmetry In Nonhuman Primates, Lucyna A. Bowland, Lesley H. Eason, Lukas Kyle Delezene, Michael J. Plavcan

Anthropology Faculty Publications and Presentations

ObjectivesHumans display species-wide right-hand preference across tasks, but this pattern has not been observed at comparable levels in nonhuman primates, suggesting the behavior arose after the panin-hominin split. Muscle attachment sites (entheses) are used to infer soft tissue anatomy and reconstruct behaviors within skeletal populations, but whether entheseal size asymmetry can reflect hand preference remains unclear. If entheseal asymmetry is linked to hand preference, we expect to see greater asymmetry in human hands, where hand preference is more pronounced, compared to nonhuman primates. We tested for bilateral asymmetry in the size of the opponens pollicis muscle flange using a sample …
