Topic: Irven DeVore


In the News (Mon 4 Jun 12)

  
  Irven Devore
By age 17, DeVore was ministering the gospel at the head of the church.
DeVore is currently Curator of Primatology at Harvard's Peabody Museum of Archeology and Ethnology.
A female orangutan once mistook DeVore for a sperm donor but, fortunately (for him), not for very long and in Wyoming he was nearly gnawed to death by a wild stallion.

 Irven DeVore - anthropologist - Interview Omni - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Irve DeVore is in his natural habitat, explaining the facts annd implications of human evolution to a highly appreciative crowd of Harvard undergraduates.
DeVore's research was part of the new wave in primatology in which social relations in monkeys and apes are scrupulously studied in the wild to gain perspective on human evolution.
DeVore's conversion to sociobiology was about as pleasant as "Saul's on the road to Tarsus." At its conclusionn, DeVore stood firmly on his own, but his relationship with Washburn was ruptured, his reputation as a political liberal at risk.

 The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Darwin Vulgarized
Devore began his lecture by questioning the validity of viewing humans as unique creatures, far removed from their lesser cousins.
Unfortunately, Devore said, human behavior has been subject to speculation and mythologizing, and this culture--as all others--has its own sophisms that attempt to explain the existing social arrangements and justify man's uniqueness.
Devore offers the perfect panacea for guilt--"Don't worry about inequality; don't feel guilty; you're not responsible." Those students discerning enough to recognize the inequalities of our society may still find solace in the myth that inequality is inherent in the nature of things.

 RELIGION TODAY COLUMN FOR WEEK OF MAY 21 TO 27
Irven DeVore of Harvard, a professor of biological anthropology, argued that since nearly all species that have ever lived on the earth have become extinct, God's plan "isn't working very well."
The problem is that however learned a person may be in their own area of expertise, their knowledge of the "other side" is usually quite small and is often limited to caricature rather than understanding.
In the life of the planet, one group of species was needed at one stage, but these were then "left behind" (to become extinct) at the next stage because they were no longer needed.

 Ethnoprimatology: Towards Reconciliation of Biological and Cultural Anthropology
Irven DeVore (1962), one of Washburn's students, became the first anthropologist to produce a dissertation on the behavior of free-ranging nonhuman primates (i.e., DeVore 1962).
DeVore, however, was a graduate student in social anthropology.
The social relationships, of which the continuing network constitute social structure, are not haphazard conjunctions of individuals, but are determined by the social process, and any relationship is one in which the conduct of persons in their interactions with each other is controlled by norms, rules, or patterns.

 “Sex” without DeVore
A brilliant showman, DeVore is a master of the pedagogical value of humor and shock.
DeVore also declares that even though "Sex" is a "great, fun course, it's not a gut." For years, many students lagged behind in the assigned reading until DeVore began giving out reading-oriented problem sets, one of whose items would be the topic of a 10-minute quiz at the start of the weekly section meetings.
DeVore's personal data sheet, "Trauma and Morbidity Highlights, 1964-90," a kind of reverse curriculum vita, tells how he has been struck by lightning in the Kalahari, stung by a giant jellyfish in New Guinea, infected by parasites in Zaire, and nearly gnawed to death by a wild stallion in Wyoming.

 Hunter-gatherer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the 1966 "Man the Hunter" conference, anthropologists Richard B. Lee and Irven DeVore suggested that egalitarianism was one of several central characteristics of nomadic hunting and gathering societies because mobility requires minimization of material possessions throughout a population; therefore, there was no surplus of resources to be accumulated by any single member.
Other characteristics Lee and DeVore proposed were flux in territorial boundaries as well as in demographic composition.
At the same conference, Marshall Sahlins presented a paper entitled, "Notes on the Original Affluent Society," in which he challenged the popular view of hunter-gatherers living lives "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short," as Thomas Hobbes had put it in 1651.

 Questioning the quest for contact - Mysteries of the Universe - MSNBC.com
Even before DeVore articulated his doubts, he conceded that the search for alien signals had to go on.
DeVore began his argument with an unusual concession: Instead of questioning whether extraterrestrial life of any form was possible, he said “there’s been enough evidence of amino acids or nucleic acids in cosmic dust that probably life can get started on any ameliorative planet, depending on how you define that.”
Shostak said he was willing to at least momentarily grant DeVore’s premise that intelligent civilizations arose relatively rarely.

 Baboon and Impala Together
"In open country," wrote Washburn and DeVore, baboon's "closest relations are with impalas." This Web site is a place for examining the nature of that relationship.
Since the June 1961 Scientific American article by Sherwood Washburn and Irven DeVore quoted above, much field work has been done and much has been published.
While the social structure and behavior of both baboon and impala are now better understood, work has been focused on one species or the other.

 Richard Wrangham reviews The Tangled Wing: Biological Constraints on the Human Spirit by Melvin Konner
In the 1970’s, people at Harvard interested in human behavior behaved like members of rival high-school cliques.
Under the banner of sociobiology were biologists Bob Trivers, a brash young genius, Ed Wilson, synthesizer and visionary, and master anthropologist Irven DeVore whose many students, such as Sarah Hrdy, Steve Gaulin, John Tooby and Barbara Smuts, were beginning to carry the revolution forward.
They were challenged by the vaunted leaders of neighboring fields such as geneticist Richard Lewontin and paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould, evolutionists who for both scholarly and political reasons were scornful of the new pronouncements about human behavior.
