The article offers information on Ruth Tringham's research journey, highlighting how various sources of inspiration shaped her approach to archaeology. The topics include her early focus on stone assemblages, the influence of ethnographic and historical frameworks, the impact of political and feminist changes, and her embrace of digital technology to interpret archaeology.

The article discusses inhabiting a transgressive and generative interdisciplinary space, in this instance at the nexus of linguistics, anthropology, and psychology.

The article illuminates the interplay of language with his growing sense of self and identity and points to a broader social semiotic, one in which form and style play key roles. Topics include freedom of expression and demand the standards of accuracy and accountability that ethnography demanded of the social world depicted in the poems; and explores the transformation of social anthropology across his career.

Advances in our understanding of primate life histories and dispersal patterns provide insights into the ways in which facultative responses to local ecological and demographic conditions are mediated by phylogenetic constraints. The long life spans characteristic of primates provide the necessary conditions for overlapping generations of related individuals to maintain extended kin bonds. Dispersal regimes dictate the opportunities for biological kin to interact with one another and define the range of potential reproductive and social partners within and beyond their natal groups. Dispersal patterns also affect variation in components of life histories such as female age at first reproduction reproductive rates, and trade-offs between investment in current vs. future offspring and extended kin. Understanding these dynamics has important implications for assessing the viability of small populations and the ability of different primates to adapt. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
