Deep in #Papua New Guinea, the speakers of #Tayap have stopped using their native tongue. In 'A Death in the Rainforest', an anthropologist recounts his journey over three decades to find out why.

Really interesting paper looking at descriptions of #emotion from the perspective of #Hadzabe #huntergatherers (and compared w Euro Americans)

'Hadza descriptions foregrounded action and bodily sensations, the physical environment, immediate needs, and the experiences of social others. These observations suggest that subjective feelings and internal mental states may not be the organizing principle of emotion the world around.'

An inclusive science of emotion needs 'narratives from outside of a U.S. (and western) cultural context' !!!

Report on self-medication by an injured male Sumatran #orangutan.

'The team then saw Rakus chewing the stem and leaves of plant called Akar Kuning - an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial plant that is also used locally to treat malaria and diabetes.

'He repeatedly applied the liquid onto his cheek for seven minutes. Rakus then smeared the chewed leaves onto his wound until it was fully covered. He continued to feed on the plant for over 30 minutes'

The story of #FocusE15, a group of young single mums who occupied and demanded social housing in NewHam 10 years ago ✊

'One day, they took the protest to an Olympic Village show flat – a luxury apartment for prospective buyers – and set up a children’s party. “It was very quiet when we got in, and then so loud with the poppers and all the babies and children,” says Stone. They wore party hats and handed out cake. The police came, but were reluctant to intervene. “They didn’t know what to do with all these young women and babies in buggies,” says Caller. Stone interjects, laughing: “Not just women – teenage women with hormones everywhere, pregnant or who had just had a baby.”'
