 |  |  | Determinant - History: Encyclopedia - VegetationVegetation is a general term for the plant life of a region; it refers to the ground cover provided by plants, and is, by far, the most abundant biotic element of the biosphere. The term vegetation does not, by itself, imply anything regarding species composition, life forms, structure, spatial extent, "naturalness", or any other specific botanical or geographic characteristics. It is broader than the term flora which refers exclusively to species composition. Perhaps the closest synonym is plant community, but vegeta ...

 |  |  | Determinant - History: Encyclopedia - Complex systemMany natural phenomena may be called complex systems, and complexity science is highly interdisciplinary. Examples of complex systems include ant-hills, ants themselves, human economies, nervous systems, cells and so forth, as well as human beings and their psychology, emotions, bodies and interactions.
Beyond the fact that these things are all networks of some kind, and that they are complex, it may appear that they have little in common, and hence that the term "complex system" is vacuous. However, all complex systems ...

 |  |  | Determinant - History: Encyclopedia II - Guns Germs and Steel - Responses to Criticism
Guns Germs and Steel - Anticipation of Criticism.
Before stating his main argument, Diamond considers three possible criticisms of his investigation (p. 17):
"If we succeed in explaining how some people came to dominate other people, may this not seem to justify the domination? Doesn't it seem to say that the outcome was inevitable, and that it would therefore be futile to try to change the outcome today?" His answer is that this is a confusion of an explanation of causes with a justification ...

 |  |  | Determinant - History: Encyclopedia II - Guns Germs and Steel - CriticismSome people criticize the argument of the book as derivative of the work of such cultural evolutionists as Leslie White, Julian Steward, and Esther Boserup, who analyzed the relationship between agriculture and economic and political growth; and such historians as William McNeill and Alfred Crosby, who analyzed the relationship between agriculture, European expansion, and disease.

Guns Germs and Steel - Prologue.
The prologue to the book opens with an account of Diamond's conversation with Yali, a New Guinean politician. The conversation turned to the obvious differences in power and technology between Yali's people and the Europeans who dominated the land for 200 years, differences that neither of them considered due to any superiority of Europeans. Yali asked, using the local term "cargo" for inventions and manufactured goods, "Why is it that you white people developed so much cargo and brought it to New Guinea, ...

 |  |  | Determinant - History: Encyclopedia II - Sapir-Whorf hypothesis - History of the conceptThe position that language anchors thought (thinking is shabdanA or 'languageing') was argued for cogently by Bhartrihari (6th c.AD) and was the subject of centuries of debate in the Indian linguistic tradition. Related notions in the West, such as the axiom that language has controlling effects upon thought can be traced to Wilhelm von Humboldt's essay "Über das vergleichende Sprachstudium" (On the comparative study of languages), and the notion has been largely assimilated into Western thought. Karl Kerenyi began his 1976 English l ...

 |  |  | Determinant - History: Encyclopedia II - Eugenics - Criticism
Eugenics - Pseudoscience.
While the science of genetics has increasingly provided means by which certain characteristics and conditions can be identified and understood, given the complexity of human genetics and culture, there is agreed objective means of determining which characteristics might be ultimately desireable or undesireable. If eugenicists claim that this can be determined by empirical investigation, they are vulnerable to the charge that their views amount to a pseudoscience, a term that refers to any field that isn't scientific but is s ...
