Forever Young: Upon Reading Growing Young By Ashley Montagu, Raymond Coppinger, Charles Smith May 1983

Forever Young: Upon Reading Growing Young By Ashley Montagu, Raymond Coppinger, Charles Smith

Charles Kay Smith

We argue that the evolutionary process of neoteny -- the natural selection of regulatory gene mutations that retain a youthful ontogenetic system of physiological and behavioral characteristics, and thus never activates the full species-specific features of the ancestors’ adulthood. The resulting new behavio-morph retains infant/young features throughout ontogeny and never displays the adult behavior or physiology of the adult ancestor. This kind of neotenic adulthood defines the human character. We not only inherit our ancestors’ youthful anatomy and physiology but the ancestors’ youthful motivations and proclivities such as docility and social dependency, curiosity and learning as well. We retain our …

Just as neighbourhoods provided a setting for the interaction of different religious and ethnic groups, so too did the place of employment. Successful neighborhodds have had a sense of community of shared spirit, about them. The same was true for successful industrial enterprises.

Consonantal Morphology In The Chaha Verb, John J. Mccarthy Jan 1983

Consonantal Morphology In The Chaha Verb, John J. Mccarthy

John J. McCarthy

In the Gurage (Ethiopian Semitic) language Chaha, erstwhile phonological processes of palatalization and labialization have been morphologized as part of the inflectional system. Specifically, under certain morphological conditions we find palatalization of a root-final velar or coronal obstruent, labialization of the rightmost labial or velar consonant in the root, or a conjunction of these two processes. The most striking aspect of this morphological system is that the labialization and palatalization apply across the board to all copies of a reduplicated root consonant.
